Quirky and OCD tendencies..... Anyone else have them?

OCD at checking TBN for new posts??? :anyone:

...just from 5am- 11pm.

I have that habit also, but when younger I spent several years working on a crew of 4, we all drank the same soda, so.. I was 90 Cw, another was 90 ccw, another was broken off, and one was left straight. Everyone on the crew knew who's was who's, we could all set cans down and go back to work. When we wanted a drink it was easy to remember which can was yours. I still out of habit rotate my tabs and that was 25 years ago.

I rotate as well but because if I don't the tab grabs my moustache, discovered that many years ago and don't like plucking to trim.

Yeah, the old whisker in the pop tab making that TWANG! as you pull it away.... hahaha:laughing:

Another of mine that I haven't seen here yet. For me, doors must be either fully opened or fully closed. There is no in-between. I can't stand a partially opened (or closed) door. The worst one in our house is a pocket door (can't stand them) between our family room and the laundry. If it's not fully closed the sound of the washer and/or dryer is most annoying. So yeah, fully opened or fully closed!

Our bathroom door opens OUT into the hallway. The previous owner built it that way to get some more room in the tiny bathroom. Opening out is just plain dangerous. Every few years, the cat will open the door about 8" in the dark, and, of course, I walk that way in the dark to go to bed. WHAM! right in the head or left shoulder. OUCH!!! So, that one gets closed no matter what! :laughing:

I am a "night light" freak. I have so many led night lights, the house is fairly well lit. I have very poor balance in the dark for some reason. I have a hard time turning around in the shower with my eyes closed. Go figure!

I think I知 pretty normal even with some OCD things: Money in wallet has to be lined up and orderly, park away from the store so no one parks too close, my electrician placed all screws vertical and that痴 the first time I ever gave it a thought. Now I look at every receptacle plate.

Now, my cousin and great friend was weird about his ceiling fan. He would really piss off his wife because he was shutting it off every time she left the room?thought she was wearing it out. Rest his soul, he was a good man.

- Switch and receptacle screws should be vertical. If they're horizontal, they collect dust and dirt.
- My wife and I BOTH keep the cereal opened only as much as necessary to prevent staleness. (I also arrange the boxes so I can read the labels).
- We've got enough food to last several months, but never the right kind of soups that I like. :confused3:
- I count stairs religiously.... stems from my childhood. We had about 140-150 steps going down to the lake. I say 'about', because it depended on how many would get heaved out by the frost each year and how many my dad decided to put back. I also take them two-at-a-time almost always. Why? Because it'll take me twice as long to get up those 150 steps as if I took them one-at-a-time!
- I also arrange the three-ways so they are down when off. But we've got a 4-way in the basement, and once in a while it'll take two trips up and down the stairs to get them all down.
- I also like the number 8. I have to take 8 swallows of a pop, beer, water, drinking fountain, etc... when I'm quenching a thirst, but not when eating dinner. I can do one sip, then. And I usually keep my turn signal on for 8 blinks when changing lanes, 4 before and 4 during. And if I have an itch, I'll scratch it 8 times. And I'll try and count to 8 before honking my horn at some dufus sitting at a green light in front of me on his cell phone, then let 'em have it. 8 swipes of deodorant, too. Oh man, that's weird. :laughing:

Well your just a mess Moss!

I have to put my hand on the wall to turn around in the shower because of balance issues. Just a light touch for reference, not support. I could never skateboard, roller skate or ice skate very well, either.... I've fallen down a lot in my life. :laughing:

Why yes, yes I am. :laughing:
