Obsessive, Compulsive...

[ShotOver]

G'day fellas, just thought i'd see if anyone has any of those annoying Obsessive compulsive things.

I got a thing againt Digital screens for car stereos, or any stereo for that matter where it cant be on an uneven number. Pretty weird I know, but it drives me nuts.

It's like someone changes the volume, it goes to 15 and i get aggitated, then it goes to 16 and im fine, then 17 and I get pissed off... then 18 and im fine with it.
You get the idea

Anymore?

[signatory]

If too big... I will remove the chalazae strings when I fry eggs.

Chalazae - Ropey strands of egg white which anchor the yolk in place in the center of the thick white.

[Herrmannek]

I hate even slightest chance of catasthrophical failure, accident or whatever... I can fail exams by lazines its okey my choice, but when someone puts digital camera near the edge of the table i went crazy, and must put it deepe on the table... I hate electro tools with opened woking areas, esspecialy a large format large speed disc saws , I hate unprotected electrical wires, open computer case when its running, a fast car driving, walking on the red, passing on the green without checking twice if something isn't to bump me, I always super tie my laces, five times check if my zipper is up, check if there is no open fire near my tent, i could kill someone who will be stupid enough to come close with ciggarete to my want-to-be-torch tent... yes I'm psycho...oh and I always have sapre tubes and quick repair kit with set of all cycle tools even i go with my bike on a 30 minute trip to a friend and back...I hate flat tires......

[gtronin]

I got a bunch of habits... funny thing is, the one with the car radio, I got it too... I got to have it on odd numbers though...

[Big D]

I HAVE to use a paper towel when touching the door handle of the restroom at work, or any public restroom for that matter.

and I absolutely have to take a shower in the morning.

I have a radio, that shows only even numbers, it must be a popular thing among people i think :)

[ShotOver]

Odd numbers aye? aaarg, I couldnt handle that man. I bought a stereo that only goes to even numbers for my dads car simply because it was driving me up the wall.

[Resurrection]

Dude, SAME! But mine is even weirder. If it's like at 8, I'll change it to 10. If it's at 16, I'll change it to 20, etc.

[ShotOver]

Yeah man, you cant turn it down. Has to go upto the next even number.

[moonmonkey]

My sister does that and it really irritates me, i just put it on whatever volume sound best

[ShotOver]

Don't know how you can stand that mate. Would drive me to drink.

[gtronin]

Only even numbers??? thats too painful... I actually prefer prime numbers over just the common odd numbers... in a chinch I actually make an excuse for an even number as long as when its divided by 2 it equals another prime number...

[ShotOver]

hahahaha, ****in complicated dude.

[gtronin]

ya, I guess... I dont even know why even numbers are so unsightly...

I also flick the safty on-off on my AR every time I pick it up...

I got a bunch of habits... some actually arent permanent and I sorta lose them...

[buckeyedoc]

I HAVE to use a paper towel when touching the door handle of the restroom at work, or any public restroom for that matter.

and I absolutely have to take a shower in the morning.

In healthcare, they are so damn pushy about how to wash your hands. Anytime I am out, here is my handwashing routine:

1. Advance the papertowels out of the dispenser (if it has a handle)
2. Wash my hands.
3. Use the papertowel to dry my hands.
4. Use the same papertowel to turn the water off and advance a bit more papertowels.
5. Use the second papertowel to finish drying my hands and to open the door.

I NEVER touch the water handles or the door handle with my bare hands after I wash my hands. That's for those pissants who don't want to wash their hands after they piss all over them.

I have other OCD tendencies.

[gtronin]

the public restroom thing is actually quite common isnt it? I do it and a couple of my freinds do that too... I think its a good thing... people are friggin' gross...

[Name Taken]

Dude, SAME! But mine is even weirder. If it's like at 8, I'll change it to 10. If it's at 16, I'll change it to 20, etc.

I have the same thing too, lol. Also with TV, stereo, etc. volume, I'll put it to an even number rather than an odd otherwise it doesn't feel right

where do you throw that last paper towel? paper bins are often closed...

Do you eat it? j/k

[Clete Torres]

Nobody is supposed to know about this, but California Joe suffers from such a problem. Now this is going to sound kind of crazy, but I've heard that he has to burn his balls with a butane cigarette lighter before he goes to bed at night. He also puts on his old police officer uniform and then beats himself with a ball peen hammer. Nobody is really sure why he does it, it's just something that he has to do. Don't tell anybody you heard it from me......

[gtronin]

why is everybody on the even side???? c'mon!!!

what about seats for movie theaters etc.? again I insist on getting the odd seats...

oh, and you hold the door open with your foot and you shoot the paper towel in the garbage and use your foot to open the door the rest of the way...

[GeraldDuval]

I dont go as far as you guys do w/ the public restrooms, but i always try and touch things with either a closed fist or my foot.

My really OCD thing is telephone cords. I cant stand it when they're all knotted and wrapped around itself. I've gotta fix it. The worst is when one loop gets going the wrong way and I have to work it down the whole cord to get it out...

[TallGuy]

I'm a bit of a germaphobe. When I have to use public restrooms I usually open things with a paper towel, especially the door handle on the way out. I carry a small bottle of Purell with me when I go partying, I use it quite often.
One thing that also bugs me is when the toilet paper roll is facing the wrong way, I like the loose end facing me. So whenever I use the bathroom when visiting people I turn the roll around if it's the wrong way...

[Bombtrack]

I have one of those pull-out-bed couches, and even though its not in the way when im on the computer, i cant 'relax' if the bed is out. I have to put it back into couch form and then I feel ok.

My girlfriend cant have *** if the kitchen isnt clean

[Clete Torres]

Send that dirty girl to my house. My kitchen is spotless.

[Bombtrack]

It's okay she makes sure to clean the kitchen firstp-)

You mean to say she won't be allowed to have *** before the kitchen is clean. But I can't see a couch OCD guy as saying that.. so j/k :)

oh yea, that's almost my exact routine. it becomes second nature and I don't even really think about it when i do it.

[Big D]

another thing:

I have to read every god dam billboard sign along the highway, every restaurant sign, etc. I could care less what's on them, but I notice that I read almost all of them.

[Chuckie]

I can't have anything on my desk, just a computer, mouse monitor and maybe a pen. If I start stacking papers etc.. then I just can't think.

I have Purell (that antibacterial stuff) in my car and also in my apartment I use it on my hands when travelling, especially in the winter with all the sick people around.

I unplug my coffee machine when I'm done with it.

The Desktop on my PC has 6 icons on it and a plain background, no other BS. Again like my desk, if it's cluttered, I can't think.

[Ria]

I have it sometimes...I like to organize things and I feel bad when my room is messy. I'm an even-numbers person too.

[gaz]

If I start watching a movie I have to watch it all the way to the end, it doesn't matter how bad it is, I have to see it all.

[Macs.]

I can't have anything on my desk, just a computer, mouse monitor and maybe a pen. If I start stacking papers etc.. then I just can't think.

I have that too.

I also don't like it when my desk looks asymmetric.

Anthing has to be on his place.

I also like to sort everything. I like it when everything is sorted, clean and good to overview. That applys to almost everything, Car, Kitchen, Desk, etc etc.

And even through I don't need it, I don't give away the Sports Part of the Newspaper. If I take it out I feel like there is something wrong.

Sometimes I have that obsessive to touch things. Random things.
Just something like a fruit, or a button in a car. I have to do it I can't stop it.

[Fintin]

if i am eating oreo cookies, i must have 9. and dont dare touch the radio while i am driving. i dont care what is on, just dont touch it unless you are asked. i have kicked people out on the side of the road for it.

[<Gypsum Fantastic>]

It's called obsessive compulsive DISORDER. You're all Mental.

[Seraphim]

where do you throw that last paper towel? paper bins are often closed...

Do you eat it? j/k


When you grab the handle and open the door, u let go of the paper as u let go of the door and it falls to the ground...do it enought times and they are bound to put a garbage can next to the door. p-)

I dont think this is OCD, but rather more common sense.

[Chuckie]

If I'm using a public bathroom and have to take a piss and there are no urinals I will use the toilet. However if the seat is down, there's no way in hell I'm touching it to pick it up, so down it stays. When I'm done I flush the toilet using my foot.

The other thing that I want no part of is any magazine, newspaper or whatever that someone takes with them to the bathroom when they take a $hit. When I see it, I use a paper towel to pick it up and throw it in the garbage (yes, there was an episode from Curb Your Enthusiasm about this)

I'm also very bothered when I see people cutting thier finger nails in public. I had a guy next to me on a plane do it once and I ripped him a new one...

Don't even get me started on the nastiness of bowling shoes.

[GoSka37]

I have to remove every sercurity tag from DVD's, CD's, and Video games. I have to keep my bookmarks in alphabetical order (only in sub-divisions), uhm... I can't think of any others at the moment... oh yeah my DVD's and CD's have to be in alphabetical order too...

[Chuckie]

I have that too.

I also don't like it when my desk looks asymmetric.



Macs I'm the same way. I have everything on my desk symmetrical, except for a firewall appliance on the left side of my desk. I've been contemplating buying a second firewall to put on the right side of the desk. It wouldn't do anything of course except balance things out and make it look proper.

And of course everything on my desk had to match. I have a black computer, mouse, keyboard and speakers. I used to have a white DVD burner, but got rid of it because it didn't match everything else.

[Ria]

If I start watching a movie I have to watch it all the way to the end, it doesn't matter how bad it is, I have to see it all.

I'm like that with books...Except sometimes I break that. There are two books that I can think of that I just couldn't finish.

I wanted to finish it...But after reading the same paragraphs over and over, I stopped and turned to Sparknotes.:| (for my Lit class). Maybe it was also because we had to read it. For me, you can't read that freakin book 100 pages at a time, but that's what we had to do. And that didn't work.

[Bombtrack]

Another one for me is that I can't have the blinds open to my windows when I'm in the room.
I feel like people are looking in, especially at night time when its dark out and a window is like a beacon of light that draws your eye. It's not a security issue or anything, I just feel like I'm on display or being watched and cant be comfortable.

I also always close the door of the room I'm in, and I cant ****ing stand it when someone comes into a room I'm in when the door is closed, and leaves without closing the door

[MrScruff]

My TV always has to be volume 26, any higher and I put the hifi connected to it on instead

[SeanAshi]

Whenever I turn off my tv it has to be on channel 29 which is Fox News and at times I even get up in the middle of the night to make sure it's on 29 and it drives me nuts.

Now that is OCD.

Do you think about Bill O'Reilly and all of them while you beat off as well?

[Seraphim]

At least O'Reilly talks dirty. p-)

Unconsciousness is classed as an extenuating circumstance.
