Just how anal-retentive are you?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_retentiveness

I have touch-up paint for my washing machine...

 

My CDs are alphabetized...
I count crap incessantly (28 steps between floors at work!)
I set the volume on my TV or radio only to even numbers...

But touch up paint for a washing machine? Sheesh...

 

Shouldn't this be in the UG.. oh.. you mean OCD kinda Anal.. no fun.. I do alphabatize my DVDs by Genre and Movie Title.. Seasons in Order.. and when I write its in all caps except big and smaller letters..

 

I am about a clean house my wife not so much

 

Used to be this way but have mellowed as I got older. Sorry.

 

Place a drink without a coaster and get cut? Just a few minor things.

 

everything must be organized, in place, clean. truck, house, work. i write out plans for my truck or for anything really (mostly the truck) on sticky notes, pieces of scrap paper, etc.. i find em everywhere. ill even rant to my gf about what i need or want to do to the truck.. rant on my build page. plan it out month by month, check by check. or else i just go over it in my over and over.. all my family says i have OCD. lol

 

only set the tv volume to even numbers or multiples of 5 and have to park in the dead center of a parking space...

If the light shade on the overhead light is askew I can't handle it. Can't sleep, can't do anything else until I fix it.

 

all the money in my wallet has to face the same direction and be in numerical order by serial number and denomination, all change must be sorted and facing the same way.
I don't wash socks I just buy new ones every week, if I mistype a word I will erase and entire sentence and retype it. All my clothes must be color coordinated from lightest to darkest and folded to be the same size. All my electronics must be the same brand.

Did I mention I have OCD?

 

I never step on sidewalk cracks...or the tile flooring in my house

Which is why i got the 24" type instead of thr 12"
I separate my food so its not touching
...but mix it in my mouth..

 

Not real sure about the Wiki take of this thread topic, maybe one of the OCD on here will edit it (maybe more than once)...

The only thing I'm OCD about is NOT being OCD & I highly recommend others do the same...break the habit.

I am 100% different now then I used to be. I used to be such a clean / organization / perfection freak, I'm embarrassed to list all my former habits (really). Now when shit gets fucked up I don't even notice it (you real OCDers know exactly what I'm talking about).

 

I think you have more than OCD, you have a problem!

Just kidding. I am not OCD but I like for things to be in place and clean/neat. My money face the same direction, but not in numerical order by serial number. I guess I am balanced OCD.

 

The only weird thing here to me is the serial #'s on the money and the socks, everything else is pretty spot on to how I am. I hate misfaced money, and my wife actually got me a nice sound bar for the TV for Christmas, but I returned it and got a same price, but worse sound quality for the same brand as TV and everything else.

That being said, I don't go Monk crazy when things are not this way, but they do bother me. Every now in then it pisses me off when listening to the sound bar, but I know I would have been much more bothered staring at a Sony TV with a Samsung sound bar everyday.

Oh, and I don't do the mistype thing.

 

I am anal about typos, or the ever so popular corrections on this site:
there vs their
where vs wear
...

 

LOL, I do a lot of the same things that have been listed. Another funny one is that in my house, all of the flat-head screws that hold on cover plates for switches and outlets have to be oriented so that the slot in the screw is perfectly up and down. I actually saw an electrician do it a few years back and ever since, I'm crazy about it. Looks good too.

 

Yes, I do that also.

 

How about stocking all pantry items to be faced and organized like a grocery store. Counting strokes on my teeth while brushing.
Have to have my wife kiss me three times before bed.

Gets much worse than that

 

I consider myself to be CDO. It is the same as OCD, but the letters are alphabetized as they should be.
