I always sleep with my back facing the wall in case someone sees an opportunity and acts upon it:(

ha i do that too!! and when im driving on a narrow road and a lorry is coming towards me - i breath in!!!!!!

I know a girl who closes her eyes just as she meets a lorry, and her reasoning is that she might panic if she sees how close she is :eek:

I do that. But only cos if anything touches my feet during the night that I'm not expecting it frightens the life out of me. Always have to cover the back of my neck with my duvet so no-one can attack me in the dead of night.

I also have to have my wardrobe doors closed or something will crawl out of it and kill me.

Stupid terrifying wardrobes...

Me too. And I tuck the blanket in all round me so nothing can reach in and get me.:o

Before I started driving to work, I used to get the Dart every morning. The odd time - half asleep - I would put out my hand to hail it, like a bus, as it approached the platform.

Also my car has remote, central locking, but I still have to check that the doors are locked before I walk away.

My tv/radio ALWAYS has to be on an even number volume.

I also hate when light switches in the hall and upstairs are pressed in the wrong direction ie upstairs light being on when the switch upstairs is off!

I have to sleep with the door locked beside the window incase I've to make an escape!

I also have to memorize any phone numbers I hear. For for of loosing me smarties!

Monsters are statistically more likely to emerge from under your bed. You're less likely to see them coming that way.

Am I the only one gettin a massive sense of deja vu between this and the "thinks you thought you didnt think others do" thread??

Ive tonnes btw. Main one would be kicking goalposts when playing soccer,football (anything im a keeper in really) and putting my phone on silent incase I hear it (defeats the purpose I know)

I always have to lock the bathroom door, even if I'm home alone and know that nobody will be back for hours.

Also when I kill someone I need to stab/shoot them by a number that is divisivble by 3.

I know i have switched the heating and lights off, locked front and back door but sometimes just after getting into a warm bed I have to pop back down stairs to check again , just in case .I think it's more another family member's ocd than mine ,they insist I do it

waking up from an operation as they were wheeling me from the theatre into recovery and getting a massive panic attack about being late for work and screaming at the top of my voice to get out of my way as I hopped off the trolley to run, needless to say with various tubes and needles trying to comes with me. Lots of nurses held me down apparently before serious sedation........................

I nearly have to check is the toilet plugged out........... Seriously, I turn the car back to check is the door locked even though I have checked it 20 times before I left. Even starting the car and going back to check the door in the knowledge that the keys are not in my hand and hence I couldn't have subconsciously opened the door in the process of checking it as the car was running......
Worse again, ringing my house phone from the car to make sure I hung up before leaving the house!
The OCD list goes on!!!

It's this 21rst century stress thing ,like nature palying a cruel trick with our minds or murphys law in reverse

When trying to avoid someone, (or play hard to get), i put my phone on silent hoping i'd miss a call from them or that a txt would come through ages before i see it, but i end up checking it every few mins, even through the night, i have a sleepless night checking the damn phone.

A friend of mine went into labour, her waters had just broke and she went to the bathroom and shaved her legs before ringing her boyfriend.

I bought tickets for a concert thats on in june a few months ago..i put them in a box in my bedroom and i check the box every few days to make sure they are still there.

I hate to get rid of things that i might need in time to come, so i have a bulging folder full of cr*p , like bank statements from 2001!..
