So what kind of OCD stuff do you do?

Ok, I guess I will play along. My GF laughs at me for a couple of my abnormalities.

One thing with me and my shower, everything gets washed in order and then rinsed in order too. I am old school and use a wash cloth that I lather up with a bar of Leaver 2000 (only). I hold the bar of soap 1 way and one way only when I lather my washcloth. This way, as it wears down it is kinda molded to my hand and If I ever feel like sombody else used my bar of soap, I trash it and get a new one. LOL

And on another note, its not really OCD but both me and my GF think I am stupid as hell for this but I cant help it.
I CANT STAND WET PLASTIC! Cant look at it, cant think about and I DAMN sure cant touch it. Dont know why or how this came about but if you put a clean Walmart shopping bag in a sink and ran clean water on it I would not be able to touch it. Garbage bags, shopping bags, sandwich bags, I dont give a damn! If its plastic and wet. . . . I aint messing with it. LOL

 

The wet plastic, i've never heard of that, although it is weird touching it though

 

I hate the feel of wet styrofoam, Off bug repellent on my skin and pretty much any hand moisturisers.
Also hate it at a restaurant when a fork or spoon gets sicky from touching a dessert

 

Same here. Noises while driving make me nuts. I would have my wife drive to find out where noises come from.
The other thing is checking TW every 5 min.

 

Here is mine. After getting dressed in the morning and putting wallet, keys, phone etc. in each pocket. I have to go back and touch each pocket saying in my head at the same time what is in each pocket. If I get interrupted I have to start all over.

 

ha this! i do that same thing. multiple times.

also i have this wierd thing where if i try to pull out a hair, and i cant get it, i wont stop until i finished. and, when im in the car and have my arm out the window for some time i have to put my other arm out as well, same goes for the boat. one hand gets wet, i have to put the other in. need both sides to feel the same

edit: now just thinking about it makes something feel all wierd. FUCK YOU GUYS

 

Nothing out of the ordinary. All cologne/deodorants have to be lined up. Sneakers and work dress shoes all in a line. DVDs in alphabetical order. Mp3 collection is arranges in folders by decade>genre>artist. Like other things in general to be neat and in order. When I pull into a pull through parking space I pull up obviously too far then use the back up camera to get the proper distance in the space. When I lock my truck doors using the button on the door on the way out o always pull the handle to make sure its locked.

 

I have the even numers with multiples of 5 OCD. So pretty much can't be 1,3,7 or 9 or any variant of those. Stresses me out ha.

All of the cash money in my wallet has to be ascending order and the dead president's heads facing the same way. If I get cash as change handed to me out of order I won't put it in my wallet until it's in order.

 

Lots of odd balls here, kinda makes me worry about some of you guys...

Some of these are funny as hell though, especially the wet plastic thing lol

I'll fess up though and say I kind of feel like a girl on this one, but I have my whole closet organized and I can't stand folding tshirts. It drives me bat shit crazy. All my regular tshirts are color coded and hung up on one side, all my button downs and collard shirts are color coded on the other side. If I ever leave clothes at my moms house and she cleans it and folds my tshirts, I get on to her and make her unfold them lol.

 

i do that also

same for me, except i also organize it by fabric type...

 

this oh and when i eat ice cream or frozen yogurt I need to keep the stuff level by scraping it as i eat it, if anyone diggs their spoon into my icecream and takes a spoon full out ohh man

 

I had pretty bad OCD/Luck things I would do when I was overseas in Iraq and also Afghanistan. Like counting steps in certain sequences for example. The rest are too hard to explain.

 

I clean a spot, then the spot next to it looks dirty by comparison, I wash that spot and it goes on forever or until I run out of time where I have to be somewhere else...
This OCD is a plus... my wife only asks me to clean 1-2 times a year.

This morning was some dirt on the top ledge of the shower... I made it to work but just barely on time....

 

All of the light switches in my house have to face down when off- even the 2-ways. I even rewired one of the hallway switches after we moved in.

All watches, phones, clocks etc all have to have the same time.

My food can't touch each other on the plate and I eat everything one at a time.

 

My stations need to be in order. No 1 is the lowest station and so on

 

Okay you see this??? I saw this pic and its driving me nuts. Those bottles are all crooked!! I'd be there in a heart beat making those lines straight. YOU ARE NOT OCD if they are not lined up properly!! (Officially diagnosed OCD )

Member acdronin knows this. He's seen how I keep my truck and he's seen me at work...I almost lost my job because of the OCD.

 

My only OCD is when people refer to button-up shirts improperly
Is it button down? Or is it button-up? Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't actually know.

 

I have a couple quirks:
alarm always has to be set on an odd number
I count whenever I'm doing something repetitive like hand-pumping a bike tire or turning a ratchet. It doesn't have to end in a certain number, but I have to know how many times I do something.

 

I'm the complete opposite for food. I have to have a small bite of EVERYTHING on my fork all at the same time. Or if it doesn't all fit, I'll put a small scoop of everything into my mouth and chew it all up so it mixes the flavours.
