[EngenZerO]

everything of mine has to be pristine... current example attempting to keep my smp chrono scratch/ding/dent free...

 

[Geekbabe]

Free toilet paper and paper towels.. there can never be enough

I am known for my Stackenblocken skills.

I just rearranged all the canned goods in my pantry today.. All the labels have to be aligned and facing forward.

You mean like the ones with skins on them? What if you pick up a broken french fry. Would you eat the broken end?

no, any kind... mc donalds or steak fries, any kind. yes I would eat the broken end, up until the tip where my finger was.

What if your somewhere you have to use a knife and fork?

Do you cut the ends off?

no because first, i would never order fries in a place that required a knife and fork.
but to answer your quetsion, if there was a knife and fork, i would use them and eat the entire fry as my fingers would not touch them.

wait a sec...i was at a nice steak house recently and did order fries and used my hands and did not eat the ends there either!

So its a hands thing, yes?

correct.

That makes more sense. I thought it was a french fry end thingy.

So if you picked up a french fry, you'd eat the end you didn't touch, right?

Right before I go to bed I have to make sure that my rug is perfectly parallel to my couch in my room. Then I turn my ceiling fan light on followed by turning my desk lamp off. Then I have to stretch, then I have to make sure the rug is still parallel. Then after I get into bed I have to make sure the tag on one of my blankets is oriented so that it's in the lower right hand corner.

I also am constantly making sure my bed is always 'even' (comforter hangs down evenly on both sides, no ruffles on the bottom most sheet, etc)...I'm sure there's a few other things but that's all I got for the moment

 

[WelshBloke]

Wow I dont think I have any OCD type stuff.

I have a theory that people who post on forums regularly are more likly to be OCD though

 

[Fenixgoon]

taking eggs out of the carton symmetrically so the center of mass stays the same.

so on a carton of a dozen eggs, taking two eggs - i would choose the top right and bottom left or top left and bottom right

Know those white things that come out of socks? I hvae this thing of picking them off the ground with a tishue to dispose of them. They just gross me out. If there's too many I immediately vacuum. These occur while changing socks, so I usually never change socks while in my room, I go near the laundry basket so I can throw the old ones right away.

Another thing, if I drop food on the ground I'll blow on it and eat it. I don't think blowing on food does anything as far as ridding of germs goes, but I do it anyway.

I'm with you on the rug thing, hubby won me a gorgous hand woven rug and I'm constantly
making sure it's lined up correctly over the hardwood floor..edge of rug has to meet edge of floor board exactly.

I'm also constantly adjusting the down topper on our bed as it tends to shift.

exactly. and, thinking about it... most other "finger foods" are treated the same way.

When I'm reading, I can't stop in the middle of a chapter.

 

[Q]

I wash my hands a lot, won't eat unless I have (if I have to eat w/ my hands that is)

 

[johnjohn320]

While lying in bed about to fall asleep, I always somehow convince myself I have to pee, and get out of bed to let a few drops out before climbing back in. Might happen a few times per night. Drives the gf nuts.

LOL it's not what you think. It's those cotton things. It's worse with new socks.

 

[nageov3t]

all of the bills in my wallet are facing the exact same direction and are kept in numerical order.

all the books on my bookcases are in size order, with the largest/tallest books on the outside and the smallest books in the center.

all furniture in my house has to be pushed up to be flush with the walls.

edit: Also, my wallet has 2 billfolds, in one of them I keep 1's and 5's, the other is for 10's and up, all face the same way, and are in order from least to greatest.

 

[BlueAcolyte]

Everything on my desk should be lined up perfectly. Or handwashing.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I count steps when I'm walking up and down stairs. I swear, I'm fucking Rainman when it comes to walking up and down the stairs in my house...there are 16 BTW. Sometimes I'll only count the steps I make on the carpet but I almost always count them. I also try to match things...like it I step on a crunchy leaf with my right foot I will go out of my way to crunch one with my left foot. I can't tell you how many OCD things I do related to the last one...there are many. Sometimes I'll realize I'm doing it and stop. Yeah, I'm messed up...

What is it about OCD? I know for a fact that I do many things that are OCD but haven't really checked into the psychology of it.
