What OCD things do you do?

[Nslangton]

Wow, I must be nuts, I do almost everything on the previous posts. I need everything in straight lines. Books, dvd's cd's must all be in the same direction. I would prefer not to look at them at all. Everything must be in the same direction. I get an order of shavings delivered and will re-stack every one so they go the same way. Eggs, ice cubes, etc. must be next to each other in the carton. If there is an empty space next to one it might get lonely. They have to touch.. All cabinets and drawers must be closed. Light switches in the same box have to go the same direction. That makes me the most crazy because my husband is an electrician and we have three-way switches everywhere. I am constantly running up and down stairs turning on and off lights so all my switches can be up or down in the same box. Ok after writing this I know I'm nuts, but after reading this thread I know I'm not alone.

I realign the chairs and place mats on my kitchen table probably 20 times today already and no ones even sat in one yet. I will get it just right by dinner time and have to fix it all over again

labels on cans have to face the front of the cabinet/pantry, and sorted by type. spices organized by purpose. towels must be folded a certain way, and no fabric softener. Anything folded in a drawer must be put in there so you can take one item out without messing up anything else in the drawer, and clothes in the closet are sorted by type, season and color, all facing to the left.

DH has a soft sided lunch box that, when you set it down, it leans forward. He puts it on the cart where we store our lunch boxes so it's leaning back (meaning the back side is facing out) and I walk past and turn it so the front is facing out. We generally turn the thing about a bazillion times every weekend.

When I am browsing on several websites at once I like to have my tabs in a certain order and if I open them out of order I rearrange them so I can click from one to the other almost without looking, and know where I will end up.

No knives in the sink, not even a butter knife.

LMAO!! You people are nuts! I know I prob. have some food OCD's but I cant think of any. Funny how you all can just name them all off like it's a checklist of things you MUST do before proceeding!

Ok I thought of one. I dont eat anything that has expired, NEVER! Does that count?? lol

tp MUST be placed so when you pull it off of the roll the paper come from over the top and not from underneath. i am constantly fixing this problem when at a friends house. i will also go to the extent of figuring out how to open the tp holders in public bathrooms just to fix this issue. people need to learn that there is a right way and a wrong way to put tp on the roll. until then i will correct the problem when i see it.

Too funny. I am an over the topper and so is my wife.(one of the few things we agree on). Occasionally I will put it from under just to get a rise out of her.
Not to long ago one of the tp manufacturers actually had a poll regarding this very subject.

I am the person who turns it the other way just to irritate you.

I too have the TP issue. Also pictures have to straight. Have been known to straighten pictures in public. All clothes must be hung in same direction. Other than than, I'm a perfect slob!

lol These make me laugh.

I have to eat my food in order: vegetable first- all of it. Then bread, then meat.
If someone touches me, I unconsciously rub their 'touch' off.
If someone asks me the time, I very often give the hour, the minute, and then the seconds. And sometimes the date, if they give me a funny look.
I hate drinking out of plastic.
Feed bags get set in the feed box in a certain order.
My brothers tend to abbreviate ranch salad dressing to just 'ranch', and every time I make them add on 'salad dressing'.

It's good to know I'm not alone, here.
