How OCD are you?

I routinely take pictures of the shit like the locks. That way when I start the spiral, boom... look at the picture I just took... I don't have to go back.

Didn't feel like typing it out but yes i also do that part. Sinks locks and the stove dials so if i have a freakout at work i can look back.
 
Lol - I am the anti-ocd.
I have a Master's Degree from the TLAR Institute. (That Looks About Right)
I am function over form 100% and won't spend any time making something look 'good' if that does not contribute to its function.
I have way too many things to do to waste any time making things pretty

Anyone that puts TP or Paper towels on so it rolls from the bottom behind is retarded.

If it rolls off the top, you will see the spider. If it rolls off the bottom, you might rub a black widow into your asshole.


Good enough reason for me!


Also, dunno why it sticks with me, but 25 years ago, one of the mtb magazines had a column called "ask uncle knobby" where he would give life or bicycle advice. Someone once asked him which way the roll goes, and he said over the top, to prevent scraping your knuckles on the potentially rough wall surface. I've presented proper roll placement as a safety issue a number of times, citing knuckle injuries, and really enjoy the baffled looks I get. Especially if people really know me:laughing:

We have a member here OCD. Where did he go-

I was really trying to stay out of this one.
I’ve got mental problems. I’m guilty of basically everything I’ve read in this thread, and SO much more!

I don’t even want to share the crazy crap I do, it just reminds me of what a lunatic I am.

I don’t know how my wife puts up with me.
 
And to set the record straight, the original patent shows the correct orientation…

I was just having this conversation with my coworkers and later my wife. I think most folks would call me ocd but I see it as doing things the right way the first time and every time. I think it's more about being thorough when I do things but people want to label behavior.

I think of true ocd as needing to open and close a door 4 times before walking in type of stuff....

I would agree.

You're more anal retentive.

3 way light switches all have to be switched off, toggle down at each end. I will walk across the room to make sure.

I have one 4 way wired backwards in my living room so one always has to be up for the lights to be off

I check the locks on the doors every time I get up to pee throughout the night, and sometimes I get up in the middle of the night to check.

I have left the house and turned around to check the door.

I have gotten home from work, and turned around and drove 45 minutes back to work to check the locks.

Damn, I’m glad to read this :laughing:

When I leave to work in the morning, I lock the front door every time. In fact I can’t even walk away from the door without locking it three times.

But sometimes while I’m leaving, I have 100 other things on my mind, and will drive away as usual. 15 minutes later or as soon as I think about it, I'm panicked because I don’t explicitly remember locking the door, and will turn around and drive home to make sure it’s locked, even though I know it’s something I’d never forget to do. And every time this happens, I feel really retarded because the door is always locked.

Luckily my wife is home for the most part these days so I can just call her and have her laugh at me…but the struggle is real hah.

When leaving for more than a day, I’ll go through the house and triple check that all windows are locked, certain lights are left on, fridge / freezer is closed all the way, all unnecessary plugs are pulled from electrical outlets, and other stupid unnecessary shit. Several trips around the house to be sure. And then I worry about everything the entire time we are away.
 
The checking doors and locking them thing is me also. I’ve turned around and drove back to the office dozens of times to make sure I locked the doors. When we eventually move I’ll be putting in an access control system so I can just check them on an app. :laughing:
Our last house had 5 exterior doors and my wife thought it was hilarious watching me go check them all twice every night. :laughing:

I got a cheap security cam system, when I'm half way to work I can easily check if the garage door is closed or not.

We do it backwards in the men's bathroom at work. The A/C vent is directly over the toilet and will unroll the paper into the floor unless it's put on backwards. :flipoff2:

After reading this thread last week I tried the TP on the outside and it's ME, not the cats that unrolls it to the floor.

I'm TP retarded in the middle of the night and somehow unroll it to the floor.

My TP roll (installed correctly) hangs pretty close to the toilet. I don’t turn on the light at night. In the middle of the night when I sit down on the toilet, the slight wind I make causes the end sheet to swing out and barely touch my side. This feels like a spider crawling on me. I’m not really scared of spiders, but the first time, I jumped up pissing on the floor slapping my side. This happened a couple times till I figured out what it was. It freaks me out every time even though I know what it is now. I try to keep the roll just barely unrolled now.

I would move the roll myself. I don't like being scared awake.

Anything with digital numbers gotta be even or 5.

I've got a touch of this, but only with volume controls.

Hate it, if it's an odd number.

Our new A/V amp also shows .5 increments, so this fucks with me additionally.
 
How does having to recheck something you just did make you ocd. Just means you have a shit memory.
