What are the oddball or OCD things that you just can’t help yourself from doing.
For reasons I can’t explain I have to have any thing with a digital gauge reading an even number whether it’s the volume on the radio/tv or the temperature or even the speed on cruise control when I’m driving. If I see an odd number I’ll knock it up or down a notch.
Other oddball things are I’ll never buy a tin in a supermarket if it’s dented.
When I used to buy a daily newspaper or a magazine I’d never take the paper on the top of the pile I’d take the one behind.
All a bit odd when you think about it.
Have you got any unusual rituals or compulsions that you can’t explain?

Bashed tins could be compromised, punctured and bacteria can get in. Best avoided.
The top newspaper or magazine is likely to have been handled multiple times, the one behind will be cleaner.
I would seek help for your number obsession 😉There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

When I go swimming my locker number must be a multiple of 5.
It's never happened, but if I couldn't find one I just wouldn't go in.

Far too many to list here. Luckily all mild and only a bit annoying.
This can absolutely ruin people's lives.

Everything has a place and has to be put back in that same place once it has been used.
There is always at least one normally more of a back up stock of the following in the cupboard
HP Sauce
Colmans Mustard
Malt vinegar
Tomato Ketchup
Coffee (at least 3 jars)
Hand soap (at least six)
Kitchen Roll (at least 6 rolls)
Toilet Rolls (at least 24)
Toothpaste (at least 3 tubes)
Never let my car go below half a tank of petrol before refuelling
Just to name a few!

Just a point, but OCD isn't really a laughing matter. Like someone said above, it can absolutely ruin people's lives. It seems to have been misappropriated as a catch all term for 'I like things to be in a row' type quirks, but it's so much more than that.
Sorry, but it maddens me a bit when people describe themselves as 'a bit OCD' and the like.Last edited by McSwanky; 11-08-2021 at 01:51 PM.

Anyone else make a list on their phone what clothes they put in the washing machine before using the washing machine.

I can't sit in a bar or restaurant unless I have my back to a wall where nobody can sit behind me and I have a clear view of the door. I've no problem standing.

I think it should be CDO so the letters are in the ‘right’ order alphabetically....

Things on oven numbers… check
double light switches the same… check
never below half a tank of fuel… check
also will check house and car doors are locked, repeatedly. When I’m bad for it I can go and check the car 3 or 4 times before I come into the house, the house door gets checked every time I go passed it in the house.
My dad refuses to park his car with the odometer ending in 13, he also got a mobile number changed a long time ago for the same reason.

I’ve got 13 stairs in my house, I always count them in fours as I climb and finish with 2 at once. I don’t do it on the way down.

Mixer taps have to be bang in the middle when they’re turned off. I can’t believe people can turn it off any other way.

If I had a penny for everytime someone said I have OCD, then I'd have 1769 pence.

I'm not an expert but isn't OCD a symptom of aspergers syndrome or ASD?

She also has this thing where a hand towel must be exactly centred on a towel rail. She notices even if it is a millimetre out.
My ex father in law would go around moving the angle of any open doors in a house - the door had to be ajar at a certain angle.
Similar to your magazine one, I will never take the item at the front in a shop/supermarket
