So, everyone has a little bit of OCD in them. There's always some weird irrational thing that will bother someone incessantly. I think you should all post yours. Should make for some interesting topics, I think.

Myself? I have 2 main things:

1. I can't get to sleep if there's a cup with any sort of liquid in it in my room. I'm always afraid I'll end up forcing a pillow down to my feet, kicking it off, and spilling said liquid all over the place. If there's something in my room, I'll either take it out or drink it. Strangely enough, if the liquid is in a bottle, even if the bottle doesn't have a lid, I'm completely fine with it.

2.When watching TV, if I'm the one in charge of the remote, the volume is always an even number. I don't notice it when I do it, but it always ends up that way. It's a subconscience OCD, if that exists.

I always wash out the sink before I wash dishes in it. Always.

My shower stuff (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash, etc) has to be lined up the same way every time or else I start doing weird things like putting conditioner in before shampoo, or forgetting if I washed my body or not.

I subconciously alphabetise things as I write them down.

Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist.

when i was real young, I used to always do things in fives. and then i'd tell myself that was superstitious and to stop but then i'd tell myself it four more times.

my only real quirk now is when i'm watching sports. then i'm absolutely convinced that if i get up for something an miss an important play, and my team goes on to lose, it's entirely my fault. however, if i don't get up and they win, i get none of the credit.

I draw as a hobby, and I can't work at all unless I have a specific brand of pencil, a specific model pen, a foot-long ruler, and a block eraser. Regardless if I ever use the pen, ruler and eraser, I cannot draw unless they are within arm's reach.

I also arrange all cds, dvds, and video game disks by genre, title, and company that produced them.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

I have an affinity for damp paper towels. I wash my hands umm maybe 50 times a day. Then proceed to carry them waded up in my hand until I wash them again. At 6'3 220 it looks pretty funny at times. It drives everyone around me nuts, there will be this trail of paper towels everywhere. I gota go wash my hands.

obscenity filter is off

I like volumes (on anything) to be in multiples of 5.

I hate it when my shoeslaces are twisted, the strings must be straight.

I hate it when people leave dishes in the sink with water.

Shower cutain must be on the outside of tub when not in use and fully closed.

I do not fold clothes, they go in the closet on hangers, except boxers and socks.

I don't like girls with ponytails

my Arm hair must be straight and not messy, same with eyebrows and knuckle hair.

etc etc, i could go on. But i don't like to go on.

I dumb :D

I eat one food type at a time, i.e., I must eat and finish the steak before I start on the carrots. Even at lunch I will finish the sandwich before starting on the chips.

And the foods must never never touch or mix juices.

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

I go out of my way to avoid numbers 7 and 14. Once I got $7.14 in change and told them to keep it.

I have to alternate my shampoo and conditioner types/scents/colors. I can't use the same one two days in a row unless I get really grungy during work, then I allow myself to use only a certain one (because it's actually best at getting funk out of hair).

I alphabetize EVERYTHING and arrange the clothes in my closet in spectrum order.

When I eat, I have to evenly alternate between sweet and savory or my mouth feels unbalanced when I'm done.

When I set something down and it makes a pathetic tentative setting-down-noise, I set it down again to make sure it's really down.

There's some things I don't do much of anymore. Partly because of the medication I used to take. I still do it occasionally, but find myself controlling it better. Like when driving, I could only breathe or blink at between spaces. Like the space on a road between two cracks or strips of tar. Or between powerline poles. Or cars. Or grassy areas alongside the road. When I walk, I tend to make sure each foot gets an equal amount of steps in a certain terrain type. Like going from asphalt to dirt, asphalt to sidewalk concrete, grass to concrete, etc. Sometimes it involved skipping a step. I caught myself doing it today in the parking lot. I don't do so much of that anymore. Which is good. Especially when driving on roads that are filled with cracks.

I went through a weird phase where I used to think food had feelings so I'd never waste it incase I hurt them. I could never throw out food as I though they'd be upset so I would eat it. One time at a football match I saw a half eaten apple on the ground, I was tempted to pick it up and eat it just so it could fulfill its life goal. It was then that I admitted I had a problem.

Now, I couldnt give a flying fuck.

Poo perhaps?

That is sooooooooooooo me

So much for asking Ivy to join my Fantasy Football League...

No one else can load the dishwasher properly. If someone else loads it, I have to redo it.

I don't like being barefoot. I wear socks all the time except when bathing. I even have special socks just for wearing around the house. In fact, I need to go buy some socks.

When eating any form of mixed nut or trail mix or gummy bears (well, I stay away from gummy bears now that I'm allergic to Red #40) I must eat all of one kind before I move to the next. Often, I organize it and eat my least favorite first, and then my next least favorite. That wouldnt be too bad except for when I see that I have not eliminated all of one group before starting the next and it gets me all bent out of shape.

Also, any time someone moves an office supply or puts it in the wrong place, I have a tendency to fly off the handle, as if someone had wronged me or decieved me by moving said office supply out of the spot it was in. Sadly, my stuff at home is completely cluttered and I have no issue with it. Go figure.

If a light stays green long enough for me to get through it without stopping, I wave at it so it'll know I appreciate it and be green for me next time, too. I try to keep a good relationship with all the stoplights on my most-travelled routes.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

I just realized that I have names for every piece of electronic/mechanical equipment that I own. I never thought about it before, but I caught myself thanking my laptop the other day while I was shutting down, like it would refuse to operate properly if I didn't thank it for all the work it did.
