What's your OCD?

[magoo]

Mine is i can't have anything on my hands or wrists, no rings or watches, can't bear it. I also don't like my hands to be wet for very long. If they get wet i have to dry them immediately.

I have a wierdo in my family that can't have the TV or car radio volume left on an odd number...

When in a pub I don't like the menu standing up so always put it down flat, and I don't like candles being in the middle of the table.

Stairs. I have to take the last step with my left foot. This actually involves counting steps to make sure I finish on my left foot, and remembering how many steps on each set I take regularly so I can get it right each time.

It must be a left thing. I always put my left sock or shoe on first. If I'm crossing a road, I always step off the kerb left foot first and have been known to adjust my step to make sure I step onto the kerb on the other side left foot first.

I have to read when I'm eating.

Well, I PREFER to read when I'm eating, I enjoy the meal far, far more that way. I cannot get my head around people who sit there alone, chewing bovine-like on their food and staring vacantly into space. I cannot do that.

If I have nothing to read, I will even resort to reading the ingredients on the back of sauce bottles.

Lever arch files at work, I drive people mad. All files in accounts have to be super neat. The holes must be punched exactly in the right spot, so that teh file lays square. If pages are staped they must be carefully positioned in teh correct spot in the top corner. Randomly stapled pieces of paper, at funny angles, and a couple of inches into the page just won't do.

People are generally used to me now, and go along with it.

Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon. Any interference with this order is inconceivable.

Can't wear socks without shoes, soon as I take my shoes off when I come in, I have to take socks off too and walk around barefoot in the house. Why I don't know?

If I accidentally bang my elbow on something, I have to bang the other one. Immediately.

The consequences of not following this ritual are unknown, but dire. Therefore it MUST be done.

When I'm hanging washing on the line, the pegs for each piece of clothings must be the same colour.

I'm really gonna have to buy just the one colour set of pegs, instead of the mulit-colour ones!

I have a wierdo in my family that can't have the TV or car radio volume left on an odd number...

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I can't have the volume on "13" in the car or the telly.

I come out in hives if two or more of the same things are placed in different parts of the supermarket check-out conveyor belt.

 

[DIFFBROOK]

I cannot bare mud on my hands, have to wash it of ASAP. Hated being a goalkeeper at school.

Also hate long nails on either of my hands or feet. They are kept as short as possible.

 

[Acker79]

Have to have something in my hand when I go out (almost always a bag of some variety, back pack, etc).

If I'm not in my own home, tidying up after myself (in pubs I take empties back, in restaurants/cafes I pile the plates up etc.)

Can't cycle with long legged clothes (jeans, jogging bottoms, trousers etc), not even if rolled up or tucked into socks.

Tidied towels in my bathroom, toothpaste squeezed from the bottom

When listening to the football results, whenever I hear that Cr***al P***ce have scored less goals than their opponents, I have to cheer loudly.

I am not sure this one is under the umbrella term of an OCD, but I can't bear to touch ice lolly sticks and have to use the wrapper to hold the stick.

I can't bear dirty dishes in the sink or lying about, so I spend a fair amount of time doing washing up of all of the friends I visit. That might be why I get invited round so regularly!

I can't leave the house without a book and a bit of fruit. I always have to have them wherever I go.

I do that as well.

And when I butter a slice of bread, it absolutey MUST be buttered all the way to the edges. All the way round. Every last millimetre.
