OCD's.... let hear em'

[TwoTubMan]

If you ever watched me wash dishes, you'd be tempted to call the nearest psychiatric unit. Sink only, too. I've never used a dishwasher, and never will.

My dog is almost as bad. She can't go to sleep unless all of her squeaky toys are in their proper place. Monster in the middle of the guest bed, fire hydrant on the window sill, and dinosaur next to her supper dish.

Wow! All of you have some of my disorders!

I have been bad at certain times in my life, especially when I was single. Sometimes i have my wife check on things that are OCD issues for me.

I am a complete lunatic with my laundry. The amount of soap, the amount of clothing.
For drying I have already used softener in the wash, but I take clothes out when they are 90% dry and hang them. I hang shirts on a hanger all facing the same way. I hang tee shirts and pants. Why cause I don't want to ever iron and once its hung, your done, except for putting them in the closet. Sometimes I hang sock and underware. I get panicy when my wife does laundry; afraid she might mess something up. I'm even nutz about the type of hangers I use.

I tend to be a slob and my wife is a clean freak. If she cleans I can't find anything. IF I clean, though no one would beleive it, I clean in detail and am possessed when i do it

And I have some minor issues like some of you have mentioned

I'm just a garden variety neat-freak and alphabetizer.

I married another one......and everything was great...........until we had kids.

We spawned two other neat-freaks and two total slobs.

But at least we had equal numbers of each and they arrived in alternating order.......slob, neat-freak, slob, neat-freak.

One slob is already out of the house.....thank God.

I check to make sure I have my boarding pass at least twice before leaving the house to travel on business.

When getting ready to leave for a gig I double check to make sure I loaded everything in. Guitar, cab, head, gig bag, pedal board....check! Let's go!

I have to check out TGP over and over and over.................. that and wanting to buy every new OD/Distortion pedal that comes out because it might sound 1% better than the last one I just bought.

I can't have the TV volume on an odd number.
I must put on my left sock first.

I'm a freak!

[schmit]

Im mainly concerned about others germs.....I'll wipe down shopping carts / handles..... especially the little plastic flap that kids poopey pants sit on......grab doorknobs after I pull my hand up into my jacket sleave....use antibacterial hand cleaner after coming out of stores ect.....I guess it works though.....I haven't had a cold/flu in years and years.....I got a loaner car a few weeks ago.....man I went antibacterial wipe on it......steering wheel....shifter.....radio buttons/knobs....door handles.....is it being anal....or is it an OCD?

[Blueser]

Anything that I am working on with tools, I must over tighten whatever I am fastening, for fear that it will come undone. Sometimes I will go back to something and tighten it again, and will actually break it.

besides the multiple psychological problems i suffer from, I only have one true OCD issue. And thank goodness it is so minor its probably laughable. I work out at Bev Francis Powerhouse gym. They have so much equipment there its incredible. You can literally do 15 different variety's of excercise for each muscle group. Anyway, there are tons and tons of free weights on racks, on machines with built in poles for the plates etc. When I am using the free weights, I have to make sure that when I put the weights back that it is an even number of plates on the rack, or on the machines with the built in plate holders. I will walk half way across the gym to get a ten pound plate for example if the ones i need leave one side with an uneven number. Its bizarre.

LOL! - I kid you not, on the previous TV we had I had to leave it on an ODD number! Maybe that canceled out something in the cosmos somewhere......

I always double check that my taps are turned off after using them. I once left a tap running and a lot of water ended up on the floor. So now I seem to go back and double check I have turned off the tap I used.

[mprvise]

Probably a guitar player thing, but I cannot stand to have anything on my hands (like food, paint, dirt, etc.) for any length of time. The pile of napkins after I eat a messy sandwich or ribs sometimes astounds even me. (take bite, wipe hands, repeat) And it's not a germ thing, just a crap on my hands thing.

Well that's no good, haha.

I have another door lock version. Every night, before bed, I check to make sure all the doors are locked. I check the knob, but then think, irrationally, that my action unlocked it. So, I unlock it fully, open it, close and re-lock. Crazy.
