Just how anal-retentive are you?

This. It's kind of annoying always picking up after her. Every time I confront her about it, she says "I was going to clean it tomorrow". Clean it now and the shit won't pile up! It takes 20 seconds.

 

Dayum, I thought I was OCD. Maybe not so much after reading this thread. I have a coworker who goes through a little ritual after parking his car. I've only witnessed part of it, but he walks around the car several times in both directions, checks the door handles repeatedly, and looks into each window multiple times. I once told him that I saw a car that looked like his in the parking lot with the door open. He FREAKED. I kinda felt bad afterwards

 

wasnt there a ocd thread before?

 

I can never visit the same thread twice....

 

Yes, but there was only one, there had to be an even number.









Just kidding, don't know.

 

This is my complaint about every guy I've ever lived with, from roommates to boyfriends. Honestly, I don't even care if they put the toilet seat down, I just wish they'd pick up after themselves.

 

My sister lives with me and she's the same way. She's a slob. I keep telling her if she'd pick up as she goes, she won't have to spend. hours cleaning. She also doesn't understand "put it back where you found it" She'll get the eggs out of the egg compartment in the fridge, then stick them back on the shelf. Drives me insane. She wonders why she can never find anything.

Thank god my girlfriend is a neat freak like me. I'd even say she's cleaner than I am, and i'm pretty anal rententive.

My anal retentiveness started when I lived with 4 other roomates who were disgustingly disorganized and dirty.

 

My garage has to look like an Automotive Store i.e the spray bottles organized and facing the same direction. It's the same in the kitchen brand lables facing out, cereal boxes in order of size... I'm in a constant battle with the rest of the family who don't share my priority of organization.

 

Here are a few OCD quarks of mine...
- When I'm eating I always make sure my placemat is lined up perfectly with the end of the table.
- The vacuum marks must align with each other (same size triangles) and when a new row is started the cross line has to be straight. I also hate foot prints; I like my carpet to always look vacuumed.
- I squeegee the shower after every use regardless
- Food on my plate cannot be touching; I use a hand made divider plate to separate sides
- When I mow the lawn I do double passes to ensure each and every blade is cut. If I see one sticking up longer than the others after mowing, I pull the blade off to the right length.
- I dry the tip of my pecker after using the potty
- I sand my heels to smooth them out each night before bed
- I rub cocobutter on my man boobs each morning to keep them wrinkle free

And a lot more

Yeah I have a major problem.

 

I don't see how this is anal retentive? It is common sense you want to see what you are looking for; what is so hard for these idiots to understand!

Likewise, you don't fold your t-shirts so your tag or picture is somewhere lost in the middle, it should be exposed and easy to find so you don't have to unfold it to know what shirt you are grabbing.

And how f-ing hard is it to clean out your car when you get out, it is 1 f-ing coffee mug, instead let's wait until there are ten or twenty in there, not to mention the funk that is now growing.

 

You can use the two shakes...

 

Squeeze, 2 shakes, and wipe

 

That's Pecker Retentive, different disorder.

 

When I park my truck in the garage it has to be PERFECTLY straight or I'll start it up and move it if it's even a little off. Generally I have to have things straight or it irritates me.

The truck also has to be clean inside. Always remove rubbish from the WeatherTech's even if it's a little gum wrapper.

 

Some Tacoma related ones (after parking truck/before exiting):
-I can't stand having loose change any where in the truck. I take em out every time I step out. Same with rubbish, junk mail, cups, bottles.
-If playing a CD, I have to skip it back to track 1 before I turn off the truck.

Done this a few times also LOL!
-I will center and close A/C vents.
-I reset one of the trip odometers.

 

uh oh.

 

It's not misspelled just mistyped.

 

If I am working alone I am meticulous about details down to the smallest thing. If I am working with others I can try and look past thing....but sometimes I can't.

 

Everything on the ground must be clean like the carpet in my room is vacuumed probably once every 2-3 days, no clothes on the ground, etc. even in my truck I don't like to have stuff on the floor but the cup holders and back seat or completely different story. My biggest thing is my shirt closet they are arranged by color in order of the light spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violent,) short sleeve collar-less are to the far left, in the middle are the short sleeve collared, to the right are the long sleeve collared all in their respective colors. The only thing that does not follow this are my white-T's which are to the far right in their own section.
