Oh my god I have so many of these (grins)....I have to check both my cupboards before I got to bed. If I leave the room I then have to go back into my room and check both cupboards. That's my craziest one! Even if my partner is in bed I have to check the cupboard. I don't know what I'll actually do if I find someone loitering in them.
I have a weird one that comes from my mum bleaching mugs and spoons... When I've washed mugs and spoons and they've dried on the side, I have to re-rinse them just before I use them. I rinse with cold water, then boiled water from the kettle just to make sure there are no fairy liquid bubbles still inside the cup. I also willnot drink from other people's houses with mugs,,, I make excuses that I'm not thirsty or that I'm just drinking bottled water; when really my throat feels like sandpaper. I hate doing this but I think if I don't do this I may get ill from it.
How weird am I ha ha I dated a guy once and told him about it and said yeah okay no worries then, I felt so relieved he didn't think I was odd LOL
I also have to check the doors are locked on way out to work and before I go to bed. I have been in bed nearly asleep and panicked 'have I locked the door, are you sure you did, no I'm not sure' so back down I go checking front and back door LOL
I tried to put my alphabet soup in alphabetical order...then I realized I was eating Spaghetti O's...
I once knew a drinker who had a moderating problem...
I was laughing at Dirt Matrini's joke.. and then I realised I have no idea what a Spaghetti O is...
I check locked doors incessantly. I know they are but I gotta check 'em again. Otherwise, I'm fine, I swear. Really.
I often find that I have to have an even amount of things. If it is an odd amount it can drive me insane... Like if I buy some kind of house decoration I buy two just so I can have things even... perhaps its because I am the only odd thing I want in the house ;)
Often I catch myself moving things just the tiniest bit so they line up square, like a coaster on a coffee table or a picture hung on the wall.
It isn't OCD, but I have to make tea properly and heat the tea pot before putting the tea leaves in and covering them with water, and letting them steep.
My mother always KNEW without fail if the tea pot had not been pre-heated, and I know her ghost is standing behind me, should I try and take a short cut and not heat the tea pot before making the tea.
I just have to ..have to....squeeze the toothpaste tube from the bottom ...... the prɑpər way.
I always rinse potatoes before I peel them, and of course I rinse them again after peeling.
The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me. ~Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
I'm OCD about a few things, I work in a grocery store, and all my money has to be facing the right way, I'll spend an extra hour, fixing it all, because if its not all facing the same way, it drives me insane.
I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But its home to me and I walk alone.
Im OCD about certain things, like money all facing the same way, no dog ear corners and in order of value. also, bathroom towels must be even. and yet, i can live with a messy kitchen until i am ready to cook. then it has to be clean. weird, I know.
We don't know how much we don't know.
I HATE pictures on the wall that are not straight. have to straighten them out where ever i see them.
We don't know how much we don't know.
I always make sure the toilet's flushed. I can't stand it when someone doesn't flush after doing their business. All of my books, CDs, and DVDs have to be alphabetized, the subject/genre isn't important as long as they're in ABC order.
books have to be in height order and exactly even with the edge of the shelf
We don't know how much we don't know.
Jeez, I like ice with my mixed drink... or is that too normal?
I wash all the pots and pans while I cook... but I thought everyone should, shouldn't they?
I eat all that is on my plate, but only take what I desire... Jeez, another normal trait.
I am sorry if I am in the wrong category.... wait I know....
If I open a forum thread, I feel committed to post... sorry, but that is my one really annoying OCD
