When waiting in the queue at the supermarket or petrol station,I will often tidy up the chewing gum display. Those boxes which start with 2 columns of five and people take one out. If there are 3 left on one side and one left on the other,I will move one over so there are 2 on each side.

Thanks guys, I'm cured!!!
I could write pages with my OCD problems! It would take me ages hanging up a poster etc. cos it would have to be EXACTLY straight. Just looking straight wouldn't be good enough. |

glad i'm a gay poster boy

Ok. Here is what I used to do.
Every week I buy a Radio Times. Up until a few years ago, when I bought my RT, the staples had to be perfect. No kinks or damage to them whatsoever. They also had to be as evenly spaced as possible and meet perfectly in the middle of the magazine. I would sometimes have to sort through all the issues, on the stand in Tesco, to find staple perfection. A friend once caught me doing this  The Christmas double issue caused me much anxiety, as being so thick it was a job to find one to meet my exacting standards. I also used to get hate it if the covers didn't last till the end of the week. My dog, when he was alive, would sometimes rip a cover off as he had one of his mad half hours around the room, as dogs tend to do. This was very upsetting, especially if it was only Tuesday  It was only ever the Radio Times that bothered me, no other magazines. I don't even care much for TV  I still buy the RT but only have a slight glance at the staples. And I usually settle on the first one I pick up. It is most liberating  |

Yes, it all seems a bit silly now.

I'm perfectly relaxed to the point of not caring about most things, but when the wife hangs her towel on the towel rail with the label facing me - no, STARING me in the face - I need to breath deeply, correct it, and then avoid her for five minutes.

It's tradition, Sonko.
I especially look forward to the Christmas issue. Last years cover was the best ever. Lady with the cat  |

Not at all.
When at work i plan my day to the least mileage, it isnt ocd, its common sense. but i do go ocd about the route, what could i do on route. |

By:
I can see where you're coming from with the towel labels, Rob.

If I was writing stuff on my CD's such as a number or the name of the band etc. it would all have to be in the same place. If I realised that one was in a different place, I'd probably have to bin it!!!
|
|
By:
No, I like to look through the RT each week.
I'm an analogue girl in a digital age. Love my iPad tho' |
|
By:
The cloths idea seems sensible, Shane
 I imagine your CD writing problem could be quite stressful, Sheppy. This is a fascinating thread. |

And I thought they were mad on the politics forum.
|
|
By:
I was gonna say yer all nutters but when I play poker it's normally 4 tables at once and I reduce the size of all 4 so they fit perfectly on the screen.
They must all be the exact same reduced size. I still don't think that's as bad as counting letters or searching out perfectly stapled magazines. |

When I wake up in the middle of the night, I just have to go to the toilet whether I need it or not. Otherwise I won't be able to get back to sleep.

when posting letter it has to go small to large when going through the letterbox. Takes a while sometimes but looks good going through.

Car registration numbers is my OCD...ever since that day in 1963 when they started adding a letter after the numbers.eg ABC 123A.
can't let a car go by without dating it by the reg. |

By:
1 letter - 2 numbers - 3 letters - my car.

Diane Abbot, for me.
Anyone hear her on http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b061q489 this morning? Why is it that whenever I'm hungover, I hear her sultry voice? |

I like checking out number plates too. I'll recognise plates I know by their three letter suffix. Some go by their prefixes, but there's too many to remember.
Good site here to tell you where a motor's registered ... http://www.newreg.co.uk/dvla-number-plate-identifiers/ |
