Does anyone have funny quirks about themselves like:

[Boyd]

I have to sleep on my stomach on top of my hands and arms. That way if I am l'm startled awake I don't knock the snot out of someone. Habbit I had to learn when my son was 1 and I was raising him by myself. More nights than not he'd end up in bed with me.

I'm the only one allowed to load the dishwasher. DH can't do it right.

WOW i have wayyyy to many to list but heres a start.

Sticky... I cant do sticky.. children with sticky fingers from a sucker will drive me around the bend

sugar spilled on the counter or floor and not cleaned up

poopy eggs in the fridge...

and

OCD lives here..lol

1. toilet paper - under

2. dishwasher - my way

3. DO NOT move any paper on my desk!! - I know where everything is!

4. porch/storage - DO Not put gloves, hat, flashlight, etc on bench or it will be tossed

etc.

I am SOO easy to live with!

My husband likes the screws in switchplates (and anything else) lined up. He likes everthing lined up, sorted and in order. Our books and DVDs are in alpha-numerical order, pictures are straight, yard is tidy with trash cans lined up, etc. I could go on and on....

Wow! I needed a grin today and I came to the right place!

I do like symmetry and order. That's about it. Our house usually looks like a tornado just passed through, but I can usually find whatever is needed pretty fast. DH has been known to say I am the most organized ditz he's ever seen.

ExDH used to vacuum the rugs in a very specific pattern. (It was easier than getting a job,

) And then pout when I got home from work and walked on it!

Since then I have really relaxed my standards. Yeah, I wear coop shoes in the house. I leave dishes in the sink overnight. I don't vacuum every week. I just sweep the worst parts.

But you don't have to be afraid to eat anything out of my kitchen! I like that pretty clean, even though it's primitive it IS clean.

Oh, I only confessed one so...

Clothes in closet lined up by color
Toilet paper over
Bathroom towels must be neat and even. (like in the movie-Sleeping With the Enemy)
Cans in pantry neat and readable

I don't sort the clothes by color, but I do separate shirts, pants, dresses, etc. Just makes it easier for storing stuff underneath. Towels? Yes, if I happen to notice. Makes for better drying.
Cans in the pantry? Yup, sorted and faced forward. Toilet paper is usually over, but if it isn't I won't change it.

Most of what you listed is not OCD, it's just common sense!

I used to be OCD, then I had kids...cats...dogs...ducks...chickens....horses...goats...now I am just glad everyone is alive at the end of the day

But, let me just tell ya about DH's OCD behaviors...

1) ALL vaccuum cleaner marks must be straight and run the same way
2) Towels must be hung up folded perfectly straight and exactly the same distance from front to back. Front nor back can be longer that the other
3) All food in cupboard labels facing out by product... veggies, fruits, soups etc.
4) All CD's (250 of them) are alphabetically arranged, not just by group but subcategorized within group by title of album
5) Jeans must be ironed with a perfect crease down the front of the leg

Just to name a few...


Then he met me and we had kids...

A few years ago when walking down town a street grate had a huge fire ball come up, apparently a boiler blew, It was so tall I'm sure if someone was on it they would have burned to death, people had just stepped off of it luckily!

If I hit a pot hole when driving , I look for a body. I must have money on me at all times just in case.
