Misc Whats your OCD?

[Raven]

So I have OCD with time keeping, I am never late for anything and usually end up early. It drives my wife up the wall. I am currently pacing because a mate said he would be round at 7 for pre pub drinks and he isn't here!

So, what's your OCD?

 

[DaGaffer]

Used to have too many to count. Now, none. And I'm not sure how I did it.

 

[- English -]

i used to be indecisive but now i'm not so sure

I'm not sure if all/some/any of these count as OCDs. If someone puts a ketchup bottle the wrong way up if they have one of those stay clean caps then I am compelled to turn them the right way up. If any lids are left off anything I must put them back on. I like to line things up and make them perpendicular or parrallel: for example if I have some books on a desk I will line them up so that they are in line with the table and the the smaller ones in the pile will be as central as I can make them so that there is equal space on all sides. If I have something in a window on my computer I'll be constantly readjusting it until I'm sure it's as central as it can be. When I walk on paving slabs I tend to line my footsteps up with the edges of the slabs so I'm as close to the crack as possible without actually touching it: I don't like this one though so if I notice myself doing it then I purposely step on as many cracks as I can. If I have something in my hands which can be taken apart then I will constantly take it to pieces and remake it again; usually until I break it or lose a part. For example if I have a pen in my hand I will keep unscrewing it and taking the spring and stuff out and then putting it back together (then I usually lose the spring).

OCD is just a label for a more extreme version of activities everyone does - if you do enough of them you might be labelled OCD but fundamentally everyone is somewhere on the spectrum of OCD.

I'm too lazy to be particularly OCD but I do hate being late - I'm constitutionally early to things and get pretty grumpy if I think I'm running late.

Don't get me started..

Corners, lines, dishwasher trays, plate stacked properly etc. etc. I have lots, but they are not really bad any of them. They don't control me in anyway like they used to when I was younger

 

[Wij]

I have to kill tramps.

 

[Aoami]

masturbation

Dont click this spoiler if you must align everything on your desk. Your mind will explode and you won't be able to stop thinking about it. That's how I felt when I first saw this picture..

If I power down my PC but leave the monitor turned on, the ON/OFF button flashes a soft neon blue. I can't sleep if its left on. Bizarre. Have to switch the monitor off.

Hoovering. I must Hoover up in the morning before I go to work (yeah nice clean carpet for the burglars) and then as soon as the kids goto bed. The Hoover belt has snapped this week and its going to take a week to get a replacement off Fleaby and it's driving me up the wall

I MUST have the door closed when I go for a No.2. I can't "go" if the door is open even a crack.
I find myself avoiding the cracks in pavements, only stepping on the slabs themselves.
I had it pointed out to me that I *always* indicate 4 times when changing lane while driving. 3 times seems not enough, 5 times seems too long.

I'm not as bad as some people. I know someone who is simply incapable of going for a pooh anywhere except their own toilet at home.

Never, ever, move to Ireland. No one is on time. Local time-space is obviously different here.

 

[Lamp]

You're 31 seconds late! OMG! The world's going to end...

Relax! Take it easy. Shag a Cadbury's Caramel Bunny!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Not really ocd's, just overcautious no some occasions. Like unplugging sockets before vacation, checking that doors are locked, making sure the cheese in the fridge gets as little exposure as possible.

Must have some for sure, but i do them unconciously and as such they're not really MUST do.

Can't sleep with the pc monitor light on either even though it faces away from me and it's not bright at all. Just knowing that it's on keeps me awake.

I just remembered the one that annoys me the most. If I have something important then I have to constantly check that I haven't lost it. For example if I'm going to a gig I will check my pockets every 5 minutes to make sure I still have the tickets. If I have some important work to hand in or something I will have to check that I put it in my bag like 3 times before leaving the house and then every 5 minutes or so on the way to wherever I'm going. Even though I remember putting it there and remember checking I still have to check again in case it was all a hallucination/lucid dream/evil demon/brain in a vat or some shit.

Whenever I'm gonna have a wank I have to look over my shoulder more than once to make sure the door is still closed even though I know 100% that I already closed it.

Oh the door thing.. I know that I have my keys in my pocket, I JUST put them there, yet still I have to put my hand down there and take them out just to make sure

I know they are there, why am I doing this!?

I suffer from an OCD that means I can't read anything that's not been formatted correctly. I think it stems from the fact that large paragraphs of text without spacing hurts my eyes

I hate being early myself. I'd much rather be late. In fact, I hate having to give a shit about time. My bird checked what time it was on her phone when we were out on a nice walk in the country this morning - and it royally pissed me off. I'm in the country to not give a fuck about the rest of the world, thankyouverymuch.

Exactly the same. I'm usually incredibly early for everything!

 

[Job]

Utterly devoid of OCD, you can see it in my haphazrad writing.
Couldn't do m yjob if you had it, taking boilers apart, putting back together, saying 'all done mate' and leaving for a good nights sleep.

 

[Kryten]

Too many to count here, but like you Raven exactly the same on timekeeping. I'd rather be half an hour early to make sure there's no problems with traffic etc and sit in my car waiting, than risk being a minute late. And the same if I'm expecting someone here - I will be pacing and staring out the windows. That's even worse for deliveries because they could be here at any time :|

 

[TdC]

I have to cut my food in to square shapes, and if I can't then I have to cut it in half. only things that are excused are corn on the cob and things that I can eat with a spoon

 

[megadave]

i was 5 hours late to work today, haha

Fuck, that short-circuited my brain. Damn.

 

[Bahumat]

I have to check money is in my wallet when I only just put it in there from a cash machine. Drives me mad! Also our front door never feels like it closes properly so I spend a good 15 seconds pushing and pulling the door to make sure its closed

 

[TdC]

oh yeah, I have another, and it's a variant of the bahu-money-check: this only ever happens in the car; just after I have driven off, I have the overwhelming compulsion to check stuff in my bag. usually and mostly only in situations when I can not spare the time, like on an intersection or something :/

 

[Wazzerphuk]

The amount of times I check the back door is locked before going to sleep is fucking stupid.

I KNOW IT'S LOCKED.
