I can tell the difference between butter and "I can't believe it's not butter".

I see dead people

mikemac

Obsessed with ensuring the front door is locked and all windows closed.
Oh and checking the immersion is off and oven too. Other stuff too

It takes me nearly 5 minutes to check, recheck and check yet again before I leave for work every morning.

I could check the front door a few times walk to the bus stop and then start worrying did I lock the door and noooooooo, the place will be robbed :eek:
So I have to walk all the way back, check the door yet again and then go back to the bus stop. And miss the bus!

It's just not right

Its 9.15m and I havent gone to bed yet, I just dont like going to sleep. My dreams are very real, I can smell and taste, my reflection in mirrors looks the same as in real life, tho I can morph it if I want. I tested out my phone in one of the last dreams and the menus system was all weird so my brain couldnt process that. But people in my dreams act as normal and physics is begining to be more normal in them.
When I fight in a dream and kick /punch, I hit the wall in my bedroom while asleep, I knocked over my tripod last week so I now dont leave things beside the bed. I prob kick more often but it only wakes me when I make contact with the wall

I always like proper spelling - the difference between wierd and weird freaks me out!!:D

I often practice Judo sweep techniques against tree's, poles & walls.

When I'm alone in elevators (lifts) I practice breaking balance technique's too - I've been caught once or twice

derv60

have to leave the volume on the tv at an even number

Canis Lupus

I kill people.

KTRIC

I still don't know what a tracker mortgage is !!!

Quackles

I have a brother who hates touching food. He has to wash his hands after every meal, even if he used cutlery rather than his hands, because the "steam leaves grease on his hands". He can't eat crisps anymore and doesn't want the kids anywhere near him if they've been eating Having mucky fingers, dusty fingers, etc doesn't bother him, just food.

Me? I'm perfect. But if I see a butterfly or a daddy long legs, i have to pull the neck of my clothing in really tight in case it flies down my top. Yes, this has happened to me in the past

Woah! Do you spell everything you see in your head?!

I do all kinds of weird things. I like to organise everything. Food in presses, books (or anything) on tables, I like things to be at certain angles and look like they belong! I can't stand anything just been thrown somewhere.

When I'm in work and hanging clothes on a rail, I always do it in a certain order. Big coats, jeans (in size order!), dressy trousers, skirts (going in length from longest to shortest, shorts (again, in length), jumpers (from the thickest wool to the thinnest) and then dresses / tops (from longest sleeves to shortest)!
No one will even dare to mess with my system, they just hand an item to me and say, "Sorry, I'm not sure where you'd want this!" haha Yep, I'm mad!

Why would there be a pooey smell? Do you touch the Poo? ewwww


If I start tidying my room it always turns into a full spring clean.

Handsome Bob

Whenever I'm telling a story I make gestures with my hands.

xzanti

I have to lie on my belly to fall asleep.. I always seem to wake up on my back though

Caoimhín

I laugh in my sleep. Now and again I laugh so hard that I wake myself up... Is that weird?

sky88

i have to put jeans on left leg first always and put my right arm in jumpers and t-shirts first dont know why

brummytom

I imagine myself having conversations with people, and think about what they'd say and what I'd say back ... that's weird isn't it?

Oh, and I sleep with my eyes open. Go to sleep with them closed, but everyone says they open when I'm asleep and follow people round the room :eek:

No, I do the same. In fact I plan arguements based on what they say in my head.

I won an arguement the other night because I planned it. I knew what the other guy was gonna say so I snapped at him for a while about it. That shut up the smug barsteward.

You all have varying degrees of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)!

I remember you said this before and I was like, yes, I'm not the only one! So now there's 3 of us, you, me and minidazzler!

Sounds like the bones of a support group to me.

That's not weird, it's common sense. You must be able to quickly and easily identify everything. Otherwise it's just bad selling because the customer won't know what's there.

I am the one in my house who puts the shopping away, because my mam horses everything into the fridge, freezer and presses so noone can tell what's there so feck all get's eaten. When I do it I have a specific Layout. it's perfect and looks beautiful if I do say so myself.

Also, how I organise it makes sure that food which is nearer the expiration date is used first!!!

I lived with my friend for a year and she thought I was insane for my food organising! I feel much better now!

*Cough*Splutter* Eh, I mean, clean up your act Novella's friend. Organisation is the key to success!!!:D

When I am mopping the floors I won't do the straight mop my mam does. I put the flash stuff down, Put some water over it, SCRUB it on my hands and knee's then mop out the place.

Then if anyone messes it within 3 days I raise holy war on them usually.


Something weird then........There is no pron in existance that I have not seen, I am a human rule 34 dictionary:D

X-Calibre

I always have to put on my right shoe/sock first. I physically find it really difficult to put on my left shoe if theres nothing on my right foot...

Also its tamed down a bit recently but if I kick a stone or something while walking I generally have to keep kicking it for as long as possible, even if it goes off direction and I need to change course. Sometimes if it gets stuck on something I will spend ages trying to get it out...

luckylucky

People whistling, making funny humming sounds, loud talking on mobiles, blearing music coming through someone's headphones etc etc in enclosed spaces like public transport really bugs me. Think it's the invasion of my space or something I don't like, but I know it's a total overreaction on my part - but I can't help it - it just bugs me.

minidazzler

I'm the same with stones X-Calibre, hate doing it but can't stop once I start!!!

Duff

I have to start the ignition on my car and put the windows up and down 24 times before I start the engine. Bastard when its raining.

I do that exact thing...

If I step on a crack in the pavement, then I have to step on one again with my other foot.
Similarly, if I'm in the car and a light shines in one of my eyes and not the other, then a light has to shine in just my other eye.

AnonoBoy

I have a tail.

Can you send me your insurer's details? :pac:

In fairness, surely it is only OCD when it starts interfering with someone's life or is causing them distress.

I habitually know / check how many letters are in a word, but if I get it wrong, while I might be surprised or disappointed, I don't worry about it.

I'm a bugger about security.
I double-check and triple check doors, locks and other early laid precautions.

af_thefragile

I like to pretend I'm driving a big V8 muscle car while walking and then change gears to go faster or slow down and occasionally accompanied by the deep throttling soundtrack of a good powerful V8 and all...


Yup its lame and also a bit to the fact I can't afford a big V8...
