You mean you want people to list their mental disorders  ;D 

Like washing your hands 300 times a day?  Or not stepping on the cracks when you walk on the sidewalk?

um ok that too.  I was thinking more along the lines of say, before getting in the car you walk around the car and check the tires and the like.  But if there are people that have weird Sybil moments then that would be good too.  xxxLinda in 3,2,1   ;D

ok so if, i house or dog sit for people, i will organzie their mail from largest envelope to smallest.  Don't know why but i do.  Also, and this is more of a pet peeve, but i can't leave a pen uncapped.

Oh... okay, well mine is related to my clautrophobia on international flights.  Before getting on a plane I have to call at least three people to let them that I'm flying and there's a chance that some terrorist may smuggle an explosive device onto the plane, setting it off, and whoever isn't instantly incinerated will likely be sent hurtling towards earth in a fiery ball of death.  Either that or a giant hole blasted into the side of the plane... instantly sucking out half the passengers, still belted into their seats, plunging to earth at rushing speeds, until finally splatting into the ground and splintering into a hundred pieces of bodyparts.  If I don't acknowledge that it could happen, I'm convinced I will go down in a fiery ball of death.

I vacuum last as well.  Only makes sense.  What's your pattern?

I vacum last too mostly, but apparently you're supposed to do it first because vacuming shoots fine dust into the air which then resettles on the furniture, so if you've already dusted etc., it defeats the purpose.

I take a hand held Dust Buster and run it over the floors before i go anywhere (and that could mean a 5 minute trip to the market)...even if i'm the only one coming home to it. Weird thing about it, i know they make these with long handles, but i prefer to bend down and do it...i think that's just silly 8).

When I was little I had to walk a certain number of steps before I could go from one floor surface to another.  If my steps did not end up at the correct number (I think it was 11) during the flow of my walking, I would stand at the change of floor surface lifting my foot up and down (like Trigger ::) ) until the correct number was reached.  Then I could walk on the next floor surface. :-[

Yes, I have OCD :P

I had a friend who did something very similar.  We used to call it the shuffle. ;D  Backstepping 10 times, etc.

Almost forgot, the ex was a bit OCD too.  Could not leave the house without standing in front of the door trying to turn the handle forever and ever to make sure it was locked...Made us turn around and drive home fearing the oven was on etc. many times, and now she has this compulsion to keep fucking with my life years after the divorce  ;D

I just spent a week working with someone who couldn't have any food item touching another food item on his plate.  I thought he was going to cry when the mashed potatoes touched his salisbury steak. Very Weird!!!

nope i have no problem with food touching.  My only thing is that i don't like overly sauced things.  Other than that, not much will hold me back form eating, lol.  Thank god i'm bulking  ::)

Well yes, but that's just basic feng shui.  Open closets interrupt the free flow of positive energy.

If I'm eating...I cant take a drink.  I have to get everything down before drinking anything.  The thought of having liquids mix with my food in my mouth makes me GAG.  I hate to see other people do it too...

ewwww yuck! :-X

Post by: YoMamaBeenLurking on September 20, 2006, 01:59:18 PM
Another classic from the ex archives...she collected cardboard boxes...Anytime we got a package or bought something she would refuse to toss out the box claiming it would be used for shipping at some point.  I remember we had a mountain literally, of boxes in an unfinished room in the basement.  The washing machine overflowed or something once and flooded that room.  She was in tears as I was angrily tossing soaking wet boxes out.   ::)

At night when turning on/off lights the light switch (the kind with 4 on the light switch plate) HAVE to all face the same direction. It's either all up or all down.

OMG that's so me - lol! Well I won't cry but I don't like it >:( Ever since I was a little girl I've hated to have my food touch on my plate, Thanksgiving drives me nuts let me tell ya... I've been known to use multiple plates so the goupy stuff (gravy, etc) doesn't get into other things. Now there are 3 exceptions to this rule: mashed potatoes with gravy (of course!), mashed potatoes w/corn & when I eat pork and saurkraut I mix everything together along with my mashed potatoes on the plate - YUM! Ya know I just noticed that everything I will mix involves mashed potatoes... hmmm.

Also I tend to eat one thing at a time on my plate: all my veggies, then the meat, etc... I don't know why, I'm just weird I guess :-\

Me too! And all my blinds/shades have to be down on the windows. But I know where I got this little tic from... when I was little (8 - 9 yrs old) we lived in a downstairs apt (side note: our neighbor Max was a fruitcake - seriously, he committed suicide later on). Anyway, I had eaten dinner in the living room & my mom told me to take my plate out to the kitchen (this involved walking down this long-ass hallway where the light switch was halfway down) so here I am creeping down the hallway in the dark watching my feet for some reason with 1 hand along the wall feeling for the switch. Well I get there & I look up to see Max (the neighbor) standing in the kitchen door w/his face pressed against the glass :o Needless to say I screamed, threw the plate & took off - lol! Hence now & forever once it starts to get dark I have to have my blinds closed.

First thing I do in the morning is put my towels in the dryer on high heat.  I have 3  ::)  One for the hair, one for the bod and one to wrap the other two.  Right before I get in the shower (which is warming up), I take them out of the dryer and have them ready when I step out - all nice and toasty. :P  Sure, I could get one of those fancy towel warmers, but this works just as well...

When we built our house, I specifically chose a carpet that would NOT show vacuum cleaner marks.  I was VERY adament about that  ::)  I hated them  ::)   Something to do with "I didn't want it to look like I just vacuumed when I just did  ::)  I wanted it to look like the floor was just "always clean".

I'll read 40 posts shortly.  But for now, I've read no. 3.

I count things.
I always put my right sock on first, the the left.  Then my right shoe.

I've never walked under a ladder


I dream funny things too.  I think I told you dreampt recently about scrolling menus repeatedly (over and over...

Last night I was dreaming I was looking for something(s
I found them, it was a nice dream.


I constantly count.  I met someone the other day who admitted to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (I've not properly owned up to that one yet, I'm still just reading the symptoms)...  He said that his psychiatrist/physcohogistic stated that people with OCD can learn anything, immediately.


My next door neighbour is a 50-year cello teacher.  He says that dyslexia and all the rest of these new disorders are a bunch of new-age rubbish.



I turn over 3x in bed before I go to sleep.  First I think about the day I've had.  Then I roll over and think about tomorrow.  Then I get comfy the round the other way and sleep.
