Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Whats yours?

[koola2]

For Christmas I got some socks with the days of the week on them (two sets) and can never wear the sock on the wrong day. And the correct day is always the last to find.

[Goldberg]

But why would you wear them any other way?

Am I the only one here that has to salute if I see a magpie on its own?
2 or above and I don't bother.

Yes. I do it when I am out running.

No but if I am in a glass elevator and it's going down I always do !

I have to use the same coloured pegs on each item of clothing when I peg the washing out. I'll even have a root through the peg basket to find two the same rather than use odd ones.

A single magpie has to be greeted with "Morning Mr Magpie, How's the wife and family"

All mine revolve around neatness. Everything has it's place and I must put it back when I've used it. Books/DVDs all need to be the correct way up. Tea, Coffee, Sugar pots need to be pointing with the labels forward (they're cylindrical), and in order too. Stuff like that.

I like parallel lines and stuff to be symmetrical. So something like beer mats need to have their edges parallel with the edge of the table. The distance from the right edge of the beer mat to the right edge of the table needs to be the same as the distance from the bottom edge of the mat to the bottom edge of the table too...

I'm not too bad with it though. If stuff is out of place it doesn't bother me, so I'll not go rearranging the local beer garden. It's if I use it that I need to put it back or line the edges up or whatever... So yeah, I'm kinda OCD but my house is still a tip because the Mrs isn't like that whatsoever and I don't tidy up after her.

On the positive side I don't really lose stuff all that often.

Is that not superstition? Isn't it supposed to be unlucky if you don't?

I'm not sure if this is OCD, but I am very very thorough. Whenever I do something I think of all the possibilities of what could go wrong, and then try and mitigate against them happening. My wife is completely the opposite, she always assumes the best possible outcome and often is surprised when things go wrong. She is also very quick and doesn't take more than a few seconds to make a decision whereas I will think and ruminate over something (e.g. a purchase) for months.

I just hope the kids are a little more balanced

I'm a bit like that but not sure I would call it OCD. That's just being careful and making life easier. Also since doing a health and safety training course a few years back I see possible accidents everywhere so take extra precautions. I also design or make stuff for easy maintenance if something goes wrong later on.

If buying an electrical appliance it can take ages to find the right model because it has to have certain features to avoid being an annoyance. A typical example is to have a rotary volume or level control on a radio or microwave because having to repeatedly press an up or down button is annoying when a quick turn of a dial is so much easier.
