What are your OCD's?

[PapaBear]

<p>Whistlepig asked this in the &quot;chips&quot; thread. What OCD's do you have?</p><p>I have to eat M&amp;M's in very specific ways. I have to eat either 2 or 3 at a time. I can't eat 3 and only have 2 left. I have to eat the 2, then the last 3. Also, none of the last set of M&amp;M's can be brown.</p><p>When walking up steps, if I skip steps, the last stride I take must skip a step. So... if there are an odd number of steps, I can't skip one on the first step.</p><p>When I'm delivering pizzas, I have to have numbers going through my mind at all times. It can be the number of the next house I'm going to, the price of the order, how much I've made in tips... anything. As long as there are some numbers in my head at all times.</p>

I think you'd have OCB's (behaviors) not OCD's (disorders).

[FUNKMAN]

a small one is when i do something that looks nice. could be anything from manicuring/cutting the lawn, painted a room, or cleaned the house. I'll have to keep going back and looking at what i done and get that 'good feeling'&nbsp;and to say &quot;i am somebody&quot;, &quot;i'm good enough, i'm smart enough&quot; etc etc

i am some what of a germaphob. I try to keep my hands clean. I hate touching people or people touching me. I think i have mentioned this before in another thread, but i now buy my clothes from old navy.com since they come sealed in plastic, which means no one else was trying on my jeans before i bought them. yes i was them before i wear them for the first time, but this way i know that no ones sweaty balls were near where my balls are.

i also can not be late. ever. there is no "well there was traffic" or "i over slept." there is no excuse for making people wait for you. it drives my chick nuts, but she deals, and i try to compromise.

[nevnut]

Tryin' to figure out what my helps' OCD's are so i can work around them.

[Death Metal Moe]

I got a couple weird things I do, don't really know how to describe them.&nbsp; Basically weird ideas in my head that may make me uncomfortable at worst, but never stop me from doing anything.

[FUNKMAN]

i mix my corn niblets with my mashed potatoes...

[Snoogans]

<p>I only really had one that I could think of, and my parents ruined it. We used to have vertical blinds on the sliding glass door to our back porch. Anytime I would sit in the living room, if there was any light cracking through any of the blinds, I HAD to get up and fix it so they all over lapped perfectly. But they my parents bought a big 2 piece sliding blind so now it doesnt matter. </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Sheeplovr]

<p>If i don't make my bed some one i know will get hurt i just know it </p><p>and thats the only one i'll tell you people cause it's the least weird&nbsp;</p>

[WhistlePig]

I have to lift the seat of the toilet and look under it before I sit down to pee or
poop. If I plop down on it without looking and start peeing and remember that I
didn't look, I have a all-consuming urge to get up and look mid-stream.

I also have obsessive thoughts when I see animals smashed on the road. I
think about how they died and torture myself with these thoughts. I'll also
think horrible things just seeing cows in a field--like wondering how much time
they have left before they're herded onto a semi and trucked to a
slaughterhouse. No fun!!

I also have to keep my computer desktop clear of any files. If I have to put one
there I can't wait until I can delete it. I don't know how people like my boss
have tons of files all over their screen that they never clear off. Arrggh!

[A.J.]

There isn't enough bandwidth to list mine.

[milliehatchett]

<p>I have to count the number of stairs when I walk them...up&nbsp;and down. Also must hold onto a railing if available. If not, I feel panicky.&nbsp;</p><p>If someone yawns or says the word, &quot;Yawn&quot; - I yawn...I'm even yawning now. (made the horrible mistake of telling my husband this - he uses it at the MOST inappropriate times). Shit! I re-read this and yawned....CRAP CRAP CRAP!</p><p>I must get out of the shower to pee - can't stand the thought of pee molecules on my feet.</p><p>I know there's more - but I can't think of them right now...</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[FUNKMAN]

<p>i still have a habit of not stepping on a crack or seam in the sidewalk. to the point where i'll studder-step...</p><p>going up stairs i have a hard time taking one step at a time, it feels awkward. growing up we lived on the 4th floor and basically always ran up the 3 flights of stairs 2 steps&nbsp;at a time. <strong>like milliehatchett</strong> i remember the 1st flight had 18 steps and the 2nd and 3rd had 17...in work i still run up the stairs two at a time... then i have to catch my breath&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/sad.gif" border="0" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>When making my bed after washing the sheets, #1, there can be no ripples or bumps, everything has to be smooth when putting sheets, blankets, comforter, etc on. And #2, I cannot sleep under the covers of a clean bed unless I showered beforehand ((generally that night)) so I don't get hair products, makeup, and just general body soil on the clean sheets ((although I realize there's going to be dead skin cells, etc on there no matter what)).&nbsp; If I'm too lazy to shower I&quot;ll sleep on top of the comforter with a throw blanket on top of me and put something ((like a tee shirt)) over the pillows and just go to sleep.&nbsp; Its really fuckin' weird, I know.<br /></p>

[J.Clints]

I check my zipper, door locks and make sure my wallet are in my pocket all the time. Washing my hands all the time.

[sr71blackbird]

Ever since the day I go the call about my fathers heart attack on my cell phone, I keep it&nbsp;on me constantly now&nbsp;&quot;just in case&quot;.&nbsp; Its gotten to the point that I now take it with me when I go out excercising, which I never did before.

[Photoshop Mike]

<p>I gotta check my front door like 3 times to make sure its locked.. everyday.. one sec.. brb, lemmie check now :)</p>

[suggums]

<p>heres a really weird one:</p><p>when i was younger, whenever i walked across any sort of square-tiled floor, i had to walk on the tiles like a knight would move in chess.&nbsp; two up, one over, and avoided cracks like the devil <br /></p>

I do it more in Bronx too, I don't know what that means.</p>

[IamFogHat]

Among others, I have to cross cracks with my left foot with a specific distance between my heel and the crack, and I have to smoke cigarettes at specific points on my commute and on my nightly dog walk.

[PapaBear]

You people are FREAKS!

<p>If I scratch my face, I will automatically scratch the other side in the same place. </p>

[TheRealEddie]

<p>When getting dressed socks MUST go on first and then pants go on. The idea of putting pants on without having socks on your feet as you place your feet through the pant legs really skeeves me out. Even people wearing pants without socks kinda freaks me out.</p><p>I've been known to yell, &quot;Pants without socks! Pants without socks!&quot; when my wife forgets... Yeah, I'm totally normal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Marc with a c]

that reminds me.&nbsp; i can only wear socks once before i wash them.&nbsp; it doesnt matter if i have thm on for two seconds. im not sure if it's an ocd or i think it's gross.
