What OCD things do you do?

I'm paranoid of bad water...

I run cold water, filter it, then boil it. I use this filtered boiled water for any cooking. LOL I'm boiling a gallon of water daily.

If I'm not on enough Anxiety meds, I bite/chew my fingers until they bleed. And then a little more. Not the nails, the skin. Been doing it since I was 4. Once, when I was 7, 2 of my fingers got infected and blew up like balloons. They were huge and the nails died and sloughed off. That hasn't happened since, but it gets pretty bad when I am stressed. I take 3 different meds to keep it under control.

Also, I get steamed when I find my husband cooking on the stove with the overhead cupboard doors open (where the spices are). I hate rock hard spices!

I think from the responses here, the ones that say they do nothing odd are really the oddballs.

I'm probably a bit OCD regarding feeding guests and family and friends. But maybe that's just a southern thing, especially when one is under the weather...do we all try to justify these things???LOL Just this evening I asked my DD (who has been so ill with an UR virus) while acting out what I envisioned the role would look like, if she thought I was some kind of food-creeper food-stalking her with comfort foods for the last several days.

She cracks me up when she ROFL but then I had to give her some cough meds...and more comfort food.

Often, in people my age...... cooking something is a gesture of goodwill. And who doesn't like goodwill? Our church family cooks meals on a rotation for people who had babies, are in the hospital, are sick at home.... Whatever. Food must heal all wounds. Coffee works too.

The need to feed. I'm all good with it.

Me too. I mean, what is wrong with food?

I fully agree. Food is innocent.

I once lived with a person that had to painstakingly make sure that all the fringe on the rugs were always perfectly straight, 50 times a day. Their CD started to give me one...which was messin' up that fringe 50 times a day.

I'm a total neat nick, so parts of that might qualify as somewhat ocd.
