What are you obsessive compulsive about?
 

(Thanks for the idea librasoul ;) )

When I'm in restrooms (especially public ones) I can't touch anything w/ my bare hands, I use paper towels to touch things instead. I can't get those nasty restroom germs on my hands and the eat, YUCK!

I can't stand those types of restrooms w/ those hand dryers only, also what's up w/ the majority of the restoom door exits having a pull handle instead of a push plate? :mad: :mad: :mad:

Sitting on toilet seats, especially w/ my bare behind.....yeah right! :rolleyes:

although Mr. 33 says I am OC about coaster usage, not really. ;)

The thing I HAVE to do is sleep in a dark room with no light coming through the window. This is an old childhood fear that has never completely gone away. If there's a sliver of light coming in, I can't get to sleep until I adjust the curtains.

:) I simply MUST put my right earring in before my left one!!! :)

I have to be perfectly straight when I park. If I'm over the white line, I will back the car up and try and park again until
i'm straight. Sometimes it will take me 5 minutes to park the car in my apartment complex because the car has to be between the two white lines

Whenever I sleep in a bedroom all doors must be shut. Even closets. I can't sleep if a door is shut. Also I can't save stuff. I hate clutter. I always give stuff away. My room is always empty bc I always give my stuff away-- this drives my mom nuts. She said she can't believe my closet is empty bc i would go shopping every week. I have this rule that if i have more than 3 pics of me in the same shirt/outfit I need to get ride of the outfit.

My handwriting. I have very nice, legible handwriting (I get compliments daily). I guess when I was little I noticed how wonderfully perfect my mother's handwriting was and sorta copied it. I will go to every measure to make my notes or cards or anything JUST RIGHT!

Other than that, I'm pretty anal about clenliness and following things by the book.

But, everyone who lived in ECA thanks you :D You know how much of a premium parking was there, and how one person parking badly would eventually cause us to "lose" a space or two.

I have issues with the way people flip through the channels. It *seriously* bothers me if they go down instead of up.

If I have a stereo or something that gives volume in terms of numbers, it has to be on a multiple of 5 for me.

When I eat a meal, I have to have a drink of something before I can begin eating.

As for sleeping, I have to be on my right side to fall asleep.

This is me to a"T"!!
Sitting on toilet seats, especially w/ my bare behind.....yeah right! I paper the toilet EVERY time!!!

I am O/C about SPOTS! I can "spot" a spot at a pretty fair distance.
People wouldn't even NOTCE it, but it just GLARES at me...

Cutting my toenails...I get this from my mother.

I have to keep my toenails super short and there can be no sharp edges (sometimes this requires filing). My little toe barely has a toenail at all.

I could never get a pedicure because they wouldn't cut my toenails short enough!

I'm the OC queen at my house, you can see why...

1. Biggest one... My food touching! It just can't happen, no way, no how.

2. When I sleep I have to have my feet tucked into the blankets so they stay warm.

3. I have the door thing too. At the house my room door is always shut, at work I shut the door to the class after every hour.

4. As for cars... I always turn off everything before I turn my truck off. That way if there was a problem starting my vehicle I can easily hear and noise from the engine.


OK thats it for me *lol*

Let's see...

- I can't stand my room being mesy
- I have a thing that holds all my makeup, brushes, and stuff, etc... well I share a bathroom with one of my roommates, and it KILLS me when my stuff is moved... if she (a) uses some or (b) just moves it
- keeping the kitchen neat... I'll do dishes that are around, even if their not mine. ['cept if i'm REALLY pissed that they never do it]
*Side Note* I was at an apt the other day, some football players, and I walked into the kitchen... and it smelled like FISH and there were dishes all over... so my friend chrissy and I cleaned it for them... while they played themselves on playstations (the college football game) it was funny
- keeping a neat desk at work
- TAKING PICTURES [you should see my cubicle and my room... hell check my webpage;) ]
- Wearing makeup... I refuse to go out w/o any on. You never know when you're going to run into that exboyfriend/new crush/cute guy you kissed at that party.... etc. Gotta make them think.. "DAYUM" :D

I'm SURE there are more

1. my food cannot touch. when i am eating mached potatoes with gravy i have to have everthing else besides the meat on a separate plate. i hate eating in restaurants because the food always touches.

2. i cannot channel surf because i might miss something.

3. when i'm in charge of something (ex. decorating for recruitment) it has to be exactly the way i envisioned it (no changes) so i have to do it by myself to ensure it's perfect

Cleaning.
I will not let anyone else clean my apartment or wash my clothes. I feel that only I can do it right. I rather leave it dirt until I have the time to clean myself. Even if my b/f does the laundry, I think he never adds enough detergent or fabric softener.
Also cooking.
I'm vegetarian but I do eat eggs and dairy. I rather cook if either of these are on the menu. I wan to avoid the possibility of food poisoning.

Do I need help?:D LOL

Hahaha, this reminds me of a girl who lived on my floor freshman year. The first time we had a fire alarm in the middle of the night, she was the last one out of the building because she had to put on makeup before she left her room. I can't remember ever seeing her without makeup.


I have 2 main OCD things. The first is that all of my CD's have to be facing the right way in the case. The first thing I do when I get a new CD is open it up and spin it around so that it's right. I do it without even thinking about it. My boyfriend got me a couple of CD's for my birthday this year, and he made fun of me for the rest of the day because of it.

My other OCD thing is that I can only write in my checkbook registry and my planner in black ink and if I'm highlighting in a textbook, I have to use all the same color throughout the book. The only time I can use different colors of ink is if it's specifically color-coded (for example, I would highlight all the material that was going to be on one exam in one color and then I would use a different color for the next exam). Otherwise, it really annoys and distracts me.
