Three more, whenever I am walking with a group of people, I have to be in front. It's almost unbreable not being someone where I can walk freely without be stepped on, or stepping on someone else.
Also, whenever I build a house on the Sims or a map on Halo, Everything (Or almost everything) has to be symettrical, it bugs me so much when it's not.
Lastly, if there is something in my teeth, I have to get it out, and I wont stop till it is.

I wouldnt say im OCD but i do have my little quirks.
1 Every time i leave the house i do the pocket check; keys, wallet, knife, cell phone. Keys and cell phone in the left pocket, knife clipped on the right, and wallet in the back right pocket.
2 The money in my wallet has to be in order from lowest to highest and has to be set in position the same way. So if i have like 3 1s and 1 of them is upside down ill flip it right side up.
3 This may be normal, but when i read i have to finish the chapter. What would happen if i just stopped in the middle of the chapter? I dunno, and i hopefully will never find out.
4 I wash my hands a lot. Im not a germ freak but your hands are basically conductors for germs.
Theres a lot more but i cant think of them right now.

I can't stop reading a book halfway, I must finish, no matter how much it sucks. Same with movies. Same with games.
I also need things stacked perfectly.
I make lists obsessively. I have a page-long list of things I have to do every single day, since I need to include EVERYTHING. Also, I have hordes of shopping lists, neatly subdivided. When I went on holiday last year, it took about 20 pages worth of lists. Before making a big decision, I make pro and con lists. I like lists.
If I play a game, I need 100% completion.

*gasp* Don't you know what having your phone near/next to your cards is dangerous?ish? Everytime you get a txt message or phone call the static can damage the fibre (or something) in the card making it harder to scan, or impossible to scan! =D something I learnt a while backleroybrown wrote: Every time i leave the house i do the pocket check; keys, wallet, knife, cell phone.

Me too, but I'm never set on whether it should be lowest to highest, or highest to lowest, or highest bills in the middle, symmetrically surrounded by lower denominations.leroybrown wrote:The money in my wallet has to be in order from lowest to highest and has to be set in position the same way.

Im assuming your talking about my credit card. Fear not, i dont carry that in my wallet i leave it at home so i dont go broke. Or if i get robbed the most that person will get will be the cash on me and not me credit card. The only thing in my wallet that gets scanned is my drivers license and its pretty tough. Its survived the washing machine a couple of times and it still scans.Dragour wrote: *gasp* Don't you know what having your phone near/next to your cards is dangerous?ish?

Hehe, I just remembered something. Something that I always, always do is watch one of my favorite movies on a tri-annual road trip I take. I always put on the movie "The Aviator" which happens to be one of my favorite movies, and I watch it while driving down to visit my grandparents in Virginia.

I have to have my desk laid out all proper at school. Gotta have books in the middle, pen postioned all neat at the top. Even I don't know why.

Re: Do you have any Obsessive-Compulsions?
Both of the laces on one shoe have to be the same length. I've spent thirty minutes trying to get them right before. And I wear Converse, so it's really annoying when they come undone. The two shoes don't have to be the same, but each shoe has to have the same lace length. The loops don't matter, either. Just the ends.
And on the eighth day, God created Thermodynamics, and it was good.

Simetry. Simetry. And guess what? Simetry.
Seriously, I need everything to be perfectly simetric. Either that would be a frame as in relation to the wall, or even when I twist myself to one side, I need to get back the way I came from, otherwise one side would have been 'favored'.

Re: Do you have any Obsessive-Compulsions?
If I draw or write anything, if I make a little mistake, I don't erase it. I trash the entire fricken thing. I'll be writing a paper in school, be almost done, mispell a word and it's in the trash right away.
I ONLY read a book once. I love that "OH MY GOD I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT!" feeling I get reading a book. Read it agian I know whats gonna happen.
Whether it's politically correct or not, if you're around me expect to hear "'Ahh Fricken-A', or 'Ahh Freakin-A'" multiple times a day.
I constantly correct people I know for saying something wrong, when if they do it to me, I pay no attention. If I say something wrong and catch it I repeat the word a few times before I correct myself.
I like comas. Or however you fricken spell it. (* , *)

Same with me. Except it's usually, "Ah, [&@%!]" or "Oh, [&@%!]" or "WTF is this [&@%!]" etc.TheLichLord6 wrote:Whether it's politically correct or not, if you're around me expect to hear "'Ahh Fricken-A', or 'Ahh Freakin-A'" multiple times a day.
On COD4, When I need to speak to my team I feel the need to do it with the accent of my in-game team for example, if I'm on the S.A.S. I speak to my team with my near-perfect british accent, same with the Spetsnaz and my near-perfect Russian accent, I haven't gotten the Arab accent down yet, though.

Whenever I have numerical presets on a radio, I make sure that they are in order from lowest to highest (e.g. 89.9 must be before 99.9).

Re: Do you have any Obsessive-Compulsions?
I have an obsessive compulsion to point out that there is no such thing as a British Accent. When people say "British Accent", what they really mean is south-eastern-English accent. I mean, Scotland's part of Great Britain...Valus wrote:british accent

It probably is Scottish and not South-Eastern English accent, because that's how the SAS sounds on CoD 4.Dogmantra wrote:I have an obsessive compulsion to point out that there is no such thing as a British Accent.

So me and this guy with a British accent were doing stuff and it doesn't matter, but he totally had a British accent, because yknow.. he's British.

So anyway.. I recently discovered I have to have both slices of my bread facing the same way. Someone made me one earlier and the two slices were facing opposite directions and I simply could not eat it until I reversed one.
This is old, but if you'll scroll back and find a short list of things leroy made.. you can basically copy those over for me, too. Especially the money thing. ><
