anyone else OCD about things??
 

O.k...everyone says to "jump in there" so...I want to know what you guys are OCD about, if anything. So this will either be a fun little thing...or another newbie "bites the dust" with no replies *LOL* ;)

anyway..here are a few of mine:
in no particular order
(btw..sorry if this has been done)

I ALWAYS have to wash my clothes, sheets...curtains..anything before it is used.
I cannot STAND when people push their eyebrows against the growth of the hair...*twinge* just really gets me...*L*
when I get a straw, I push the straw out of the paper wrapper and blow thru it to make sure there is no "residual" paper left over. I know..crazy..hahah..even when the wrapper is plastic I still do it out of habit.
that's all I have for right now*L* I'll post more as I think of them :)

As I get older, I seem to be accumulating more and more of them.

The fax machine is my worst enemy. I check the number I put in, say a thousand times, to make sure it's correct.

I have to watch my washing machine fill up with water.

I think those are my main two.

I'm totally OCD'd. Like on really stupid things too. Like if I bite a nail on my left hand, I have to bite that nail on the opposite hand. Just to make it even. :lol: Let's see, what else...

- Door knobs. They must be turned a certain number of times. (Ever see As Good As It Gets? :laugh: )

- I must knot my shoes four times. :shrug: :laugh:

- My bed's covers must be perfect before, during and after I sleep in them. And I WILL flip out and fix them in the middle of the night. :laugh:


I'll post more...

yeah..i'ts never on anything important like "careful driver" or..."mad cleaning lady" *L* although I ALWAYS use my turning signal....I've been known to use it pulling out of my driveway....when there is only one way to turn......and we don't live on a main road....

Whoa, you do got problems. ;)

No ****. I drive my family nuts sometimes. :lol:

The meat and bun on my hamburgers must match up. If there is extra bun hanging, I push the meat all the way to the opposite edge, eat the overhanging bun, and then get back to eating my burger.

Other than that, I'm just a clean freak. Nothing psychotic though like Mark Summers (spelling?) having to straighten out each tassle or fringe on his rugs.

Even. I'm one of the least OCD people you'll ever meet, but, when I am putting stuff up on my wall, the shapes have to align in a certain way. And, on my body, I like things even. I could never have one of anything pierced.
Mainly just with my walls, though. And, I suppose, my clothes. I like to have all shapes and colors, anywhere, aligned how I want them. I guess that's not real serious, though. I have few "clean" issues. Like ryan, I don't like when my nails are different sizes. I hate when other people attempt to help me with "cooking" or "cleaning my own house" but I don't think that's OCD.

I only take certain pathways to my destinations, though. When I'm walking with a friend, and they try to walk on a different street than I usually take, I don't go with them. But that's because, I pick the prettiest streets! that's probably my worst OCD thing. :)

:lol:
I like that one, I'd be the same way. But...I'm more careful, because I like to drive fast and recklessly... :laugh: I always stop behind the line. That drives me nuts.

I am horrible with cleaning and organization. If anyone moves ANTHING in my room an inch, I notice and have to move it back immediately.

When I carry my books? Big to small. Can't have it any other way.

My notebooks for school? The papers have to be perfectly in the pockets and perfectly aligned.

If other people tell me to watch their stuff or something, I will go through and organize it. In 7th grade, people paid me 10 effing cents to clean their trappers.

Things on the wall? Cannot be crooked. Drives me insane.

If I'm wearing jewelry, the bigger bracelet goes closest to my hand, so it doesn't touch the smaller bracelet. (Does that even make sense to anyone but me? LOL)

In my closet, I have a spot for my jeans, then t-shirts, then sweatshirts. My shirts are organized by color.

If I get some kind of sandwich from a restaurant, everything has to be perfectly lined up. The meat on a burger cannot be sticking out.

Nailpolish MUST be the same color as my shirt and shoes. I cannot wear a black skirt with black pants. Shirt and shoes always must be the same color. Also, if you are going to wear the same color shirt and pants? One better not be a different shade than the other. Like, if your shirt is a black, and your pants are faded black. No, just no.

I can't think of anymore! If I get more, I'll post. LOL

I definitely have some OCD tendencies. A couple...

It doesn't matter how late I get in from a trip, I have to unpack and put every item from my suitcase in its spot before I go to bed.

I'm one of those people that has a specific pencil at work that if it goes missing or someone else uses it I'll flip. I went so far as to put my name on it. Then again, I draw for a living and its a specific drawing pencil so..... oh forget it, I'm a total freak.

I always have to quadruple check every morning to see if I've unplugged my straightening (or curling) iron because I'm certain that I haven't and that I'll burn my place down.

OH!! I can't wear a color over top of a color!! unless it is an outfit that came together..and denim jacket with denim pants...NO!! ESP if the denims don't match*L*

Oh goodness, me too! I CANNOT go to bed if something in my room is messy. I have to clean it and then I can go to sleep!

DENIM ON DENIM? NO NO NO. Just, no. NEVER.

Whoa, I swear, I'm okay! LOL

I'm pretty neurotic about a lot a of things, but these are the ones that bother me the most-

1. Cleaning the house. If there's anything out of place I can't get to sleep.

2. Any magazine I have has to be face down. I feel like whoever's on it is looking at me. :o

3. My car cannot be dirty inside or out.

4. My cds and books must be in order alphabetically and by year.
