Thread: What are you OCD about? (There..I fixed it!)

Money.

Can't be dirty.

Ever.

Also, you can't fold money other than once. In half.

People that steal my pens. **** you, I have an order to my stuff, I know when it's gone...don't lie to me. You moved them. They are always in my first desk drawer...are three black...Pilot G2's. Ordered in how much ink is left. THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT.

My car. Quit leaning on it. VERY OCD about belts. Keep them away from my stuff...you can scratch it.

Also, lights. Turn them off. Even if it's off, I double check it because I'm insane.

Then, clothes. Must iron them...the buttons must be facing towards the right of the closet. Really kills my day when they're put in there wrong.

My instrument cluster...in any car...gets wiped off before driving it. Dust in my face every morning is about as bad as breaking my left leg.

To end, my glasses. Must. Always be. Clean. Can't funtion...if...they're...dirty. Even a spec.

I have CDO, it's like OCD but the letters are in alphabetical order. As they should be.

Pairs, sets must match. No mis-matching
- e.g. organizing cans, bottles by brand.
- colors

There are two sizes of spoons/forks in a silverware set. I always use the smaller size

Shapes/objects need to be parallel or in a geometric configuration that is at least semi-symmetrical

If I'm looking at the ground while walking, I can't step on a crack/gap where two concrete slabs conjoin. It has nothing to do with the nursery rhyme. I plan my steps so that my feet land in between

Fridge must be organized in the most volume consuming manner

Cannot mix sweet things with salty things for breakfast
-e.g. waffles and bacon does not work.

Shirts organized in closet by color


The list goes on........ I have many very minuscule OCD tendencies
Are they anything more than just habits though?

FREAK.. jk

Phone: Left Front Pocket
Wallet: Right Front Pocket
Keys: Clipped to second belt loop to my forward facing right
Time: I will always be on time and get easily irritated when others do not comply. I will be 45 minutes early before I will be three seconds late.

And as for my car:

Fuel: I will not make a partial fillup. I will not throw in five bucks here and there.
Nobody will drive it but me. I have not adjusted the seat or mirror since I bought it, nor do I intend to in the future.
The radio shall be turned ALL the way down when I shut the car off (because I have that bad valve in the fuel line and have to listen for the fuel pump pitch to drop)
With the overheat problems I had when I first bought it, I watch that gauge like a hawk. If it normally runs 197 on the highway, I turn the heat on if it reaches 200 on the highway

Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Also interior must be clean in the car. I can't stand a dirty interior and frown upon anyone who thinks having a pile of empty bottles or fast food cartons in their car is OK.

This too. If someone leaves my passenger seat leaned farther forward than my seat is I have to move it.

You might spontaneously combust if you saw my car...... lol

My car being clean is about the only thing im not OCD about

My car looks pretty bad right now. There is dry mud and dirt all through it from some of the stuff I have been moving the last few days.

I'm a big hater of dirty cars...especially the insides of a car. It ain't hard to keep clean

Not sure if I'm really odc about much.

I like a clean car, but it gets messy and I can still sleep fine.
Organization in my pockets, things have their spots where they are most comfy, it's not imperative though
House, I like it clean like the car.. there's times it gets nasty though
Pens..you want'm go ahead and take them, just know that if you have a cool one..it's mine. No worries about level of ink for this guy
Food labels.. ehhh no worries, I pretty much know what's in there

OCD..hmmm broken stuff. There's no room for it in my world. Fix or toss

My movies/video games. Have to be in alphabetical order and split by blu-ray/dvd/xbox/ps3, etc. I get a new movie or game, the whole rack gets moved over a movie from the new one. I'll pull out everything (and I have alot) every once in awhile and re-do it...just because/incase. Used to be over my sports cards, everything had to be in order by year, brand, card number. Thats all i can think of for me...

I clean up and reorganize the squat rack at the gym while I use it. If I need more plates, I take them from the opposite side of the gym.
Square drink coasters have to align parallel on the table. If they have text on them, it must face the center of the room.
Shoe laces go inside the shoes when they come off.
Brand new underwear needs to be washed before wearing.
Beer needs to be front-facing in the fridge.

some of my OCD tendencies are as follows:
*morning routine when I head to work has to be the same
*When my car is clean and shiny, no one can touch it or leave finger prints on it
*Everything has to go where it belongs or I have to put it back there
*Seatbelts cant be twisted in my car or i have to straiten them out, inlcuding the rear ones, those have to be flat and straight and not off to the sides.
*floor mats have to be straight
*If I clean the inside i have to replace the airfreshner inside with coconut tree freshner no other scent
*I have to avoid puddles when the car is clean and if i hit one i will get irritated and when i come to where i need to be ill have to wipe it clean

and probably a bunch of other things, but alot of what previous people wrote follows as well.

After thought...

Fix your fargin title! It's driving me nutty.
