After just starting a conversation with someone about strange little habits i thought i'd start one here. Does anyone have any strange OCD quality habits? x
Its not OCD but i do seem to have a habit of getting involved in things before i think about the possibley dangerous consequences.....
Volume on the TV or radio must be on an even number.
If I sign for a parcel, I have to wash my hands straight afterwards as all I can think of is how many people have touched the pen before me.
I hate shaking hands with someone, although I do this loads with my job, as all I can think of is did they wash properly after 'flushing' or were they picking their nose before they met me. (Started carrying antibacterial hand gel in car)
Always flush a toilet with my foot (unless it's a button on top)
That's quite a phobia about getting food poisenning Cherry, but I don't think its OCD.
Yes I agree, Liasons, it's a phobia. I thought it might be appropriate tho.
saying nowt you think i am weird enough as it is :gagged:
ok some weirdness confirmation
i have to do everthing in multiples of four, if i tap my foot for example it has to be in fours, and then i have to tap the other foot the same number of times so its equal
i have to pack the supermarket counter in the way its going to go into the shoppings bags, which happens to be the way my cupboards are arranged, ie fridge stuff in one back, carousel stuff in another, makes unpacking shopping much easier
i have to have all my tins in rows of the same product and all labels facing forward
all my shoes (95 pairs) are in boxes with their pic on the front in their own cupboard
my dvd's and cd's are categorised
i hate single things i have to have pairs of things for balance
i have to get out of the same side of the bed every day
thats all i can think of for now but am sure there's loads more

When I was younger and much sportier I had to win anything I played.
I might not have been that good at the sport but I would always try way to hard, get pissed off if I lost and always want a re-match.
I didn't really do team sports except football & cricket because I wanted any success or failure to be purely down to me.
I was the same in any sport, be it badminton, squash, tennis, snooker/pool, motorcycle racing, fencing, athletics.
But now I'm an older git I really don't give a shit!!!
Oh, and all my music CD's have to be in alphabetical order.
But that's just sensible 'cos it would take so bloody long to find a particular one otherwise!!!
