OCD
by I think just about everybody I know has at least one obsessive compulsive trait...something that just drives them crazy if its not perfect. It's pretty funny how something so insignificant can mean so much to a person.
Mine is, that on bic pens...the cap must line up perfectly with the writing on the side of the pen. Every single pen in my possession is like this because of me. Haha...
So, what about everybody else?

whenever i put tanning oil on (during the summer at the beach) even though my hand is most likely covered with sand, i have to rub my ear. it feels sooo nice. i literally cannot not do it. its very odd and i don't understand why but yeah that's it.
Lots of ppl obsess over touching toilet seats or the button to flush...that's why those auto-pilot toilets are the best!!! No human contact necessary.
auto pilot toilets? are those new, flying toilets? :)
They flush when you stand up, there is a hidden camera in the toilet somewhere that watches you. When you stand up, it flushes.
hidden camera in the toilet. Now theres a video I would LOVE to watch.
ohhh mannnnn, a hidden camera! thats GREAT. imagine if it was a closed circuit camera and theres some old dude in a broom closet with a bunch of TVs, watching everyone use the bathroom and pressing the appopriate buttons when people are done! but, um, in reality those are motion sensors, honey.
I know, but I was laughing to myself thinking of thai sitting in a room with a bzillion tvs watching ppl on toilets and at urinals...
i dont like touching hand rails and if i catch myself doing it i freak out
dan and i aren't afraid to touch toilets! We cleaned all the urinals and toilets in nassau colliseum at 4 in the morning once...good times
that was one of the BEST days i've ever had...such fun. i did like 50 jobs. remember using the same rag on the toilet as we did on the sink!?! hAHHAHAHH!
yeah, this was such a fun day....don't ever use the sinks at nassau colliseum....because its the equivelent of washing your hands in the urinal
I hate public bathrooms and refuse to use them.
me 2.... i just hold it till i get home... i have NEVER gone to the bathroom at school.. thats just scary...
Yeah, I don't wanna know what's been done in there.
will you use the KHall bathroom?
Eh...I suppose that one is clean and all.
only if its an emergency... other wise- no
okay but if you clean that toilet and you clean the toilet at home what is the difference?? who do you think has a dirty coolie mel huh?
When I walk, and there are lines in the tiles (like..a like of green tiles..a line of black) I have to walk over the first with my right foot and the next with my left and so on.
what i do is really weird..my mom does the same thing..we will count random things..like..when i'm walking up and down stairs i'll count them..and it's not like i consciously do it..when i'm at 7 or 8..i'm like.."why am i counting?" hahhaa it's really weird. my favorite one that i told kim and she still brings it up to me that i told her about..when my mom is making meatballs..she'll always count the number of em she made. hahahhaa
when i use a public restroom, i have to check the door three times to be sure it's locked.
there's tons of others, but that's the only one worth sharing. ;)
I HATE DUST. I have to dust it away when i see it. Problem is, when i do it at other people's houses they think i'm trying to tell them they are dirty.....
Im a desktop publishing freak. I hate it when people space 500 X's in documents instead of tab, or hit enter enough times to get to the next page instead of entering a page break. I hate it when people have multiple margins on the same page inexplicably, or when when people format in a counterintuitive way (like underlining the title and bolding and italcizing the subheadings). I dont' like it when people scan images and don't crop properly. Its obsessive. At work, when people email me a document (pdf's, doc's, jpegs. it doesn't matter) I have to fix it before I can even do my thing with it. A woman last week me ask me to reformat a chart for her last week, and it took me an hour just to remove all the spaces! Course, she ended up paying me $15. But still.
Whoah. You got $15 to be crazy?
Sometimes, it pays to be looney.
I have to line all my IM boxes up perfectly.
one thing i do thats a lil obsessive/compulsive is when i'm online and i'm waiting for anything. a response, a download, an upload, for a page to load or anything. i manically highlight things. highlight, then click to unhighlight and then i highlight and click to unhighlight again--over and over. some people have noticed and were like "what the heck?! stop that!"
my version of this is to constantly keep checking people's profiles on aim...even when i just checked them...i keep doing it over and over again if i'm waiting for something or bored
I do the profile thing all the time..and I do it with away messages too.
haha yea i read peoples profiles over and over again.. as if they have changed in 5 mintues.. o and anther thing i do that Bryan pointed out to me this weekend is while i'm reading stuff, i highlight it... like if i'm reading a sentence i use the mouse to highlight it as i read it...
I have a pet peave, it's not quite a obsessive compulsive disorder, I guess.
But whenever Im out in service and we are gonna stop for break, and the driver asks where we should stop for break and everyone says oh it doesn't matter. When that happens I flip out, cause nothing ever gets done
you know WHY nothing gets done?? because you need to call more meetings!
No..nothing gets done because I'm not in charge!
that's soo true. now i give my prefernce cuz i know nobody else will give theirs. then if they don't like it they're forced to come up with another one.
oh, i got one...I must have every article of clothing ironed extensively...I hate wrinkles
how about ur obsession with lotion? or how u can NEVER be ready on time? or how about how it takes u 500 times longer then a normal person to eat a meal? or ur refusal to wear shoes and socks? and straws! how about ur never using straws!? do those count for anything?
wow, bryan actually has ocd
okay only the lotion really qualifies as OCD. p.s. he never actually finishes his meal.
ok, so why don't we just open up a forum for bryan bashing
wait, that "no shoes & socks phase" lasted for like a week, and it was only cause it was during the summer & I was @ the boardwalk...
So you went around barefoot?
he took off his shoes and socks and for an entire week he wouldn't put them back on.. it was SO funny
not even for the meetings?
NOPE NOT EVEN FOR THE MEETINGS!..umm..no, I must of made some sort of exception..I really don't remember that was like 2 years ago
yea i don't remember either.. actully i don't think we went to any meetings.. hahah
I have to shower and poo at least once a day.. or i'll feel uncomfortable. and i have to brush my teeth or i'll die
NO WAY! You too?
we are so alike ! geez.. lets name our fist son gorki. named after my favorite hamster/sock
I don't like the pages of my bible to be folded..at all.
I do the same thing
when i was little, i used to go nuts with fixing the pages, then my mom would yell at me and say pay attention...so i broke the habit...but i used to do it all the time
whenever i get a new deluxe i spend all this time separating the pages
I am diseased now, I recieved an awesome graduation present-a bible with the reasoning book attatched and extra bookmark ribbons...and tonight at the meeting I couldn't stop looking for folded corners.
hmmmm....I seriously can't think of anything...i'm sure I have at least ONE
i have WAY too many to even begin.. maybe if i'm bored one day i'll write them all down...
I have this thing..with my star hairclip that I wear almost every day. I have to take it out and put it back in every like 5 minutes all the time..so it's just right.
okay, i have another one...i was a bit embaressed to admit this one...but hey, its ezabel right? Nobody on here would make fun of me (roll eyes).
Anyway, everytime i go to sleep, the last word that i say, must be goodnight. Every single night...haha, jahanna can vouch for this...haha, remember that time in PA?
hahah, yea..and if we start talking again..even if it happens 3 times..you'll have to say it all three times. hahha
I'll name two of mine (two of many):
1: I organize all my cds in alphabetical order A-Z. Then in each letter grouping the bands are further alphabetized. THEN, if I have more than one album by a band, I organize them by release date.
2: My closet is organized with coats in the middle, dress clothes on the right and shirts on the left. My dress clothes are organized by dresses first followed by skirts. My shirts are organized by color--white,gray,black,red,orange,lime green, dark green, blue,purple. My pants are next to the purple shirts.
wow, you're super organized
i can not date a girl who is an obsessive freak. i just don't see this working out. it's not me, it's you.
FINALLY, I am rid of you!
you were a little high maintence, if you ask me. all this discussion about what kind of taco place you want to go to, reservations, etc. i mean, seriously, what's wrong with JUST BEING YOU??
Hey..I think the term "high maintence" is thrown around to lightly. I hate it.
Gab is in NO WAY high maintanance. she's juuuust right. you should be as fortunate as me, having found a completely amazing woman.
wait a second, this isn't funny
okay number 1--i do that, but everyone messes it up. i fight fixing it so i'll seem not so uptight. (there was an episode of Friends where Monica did this. and i, like Monica, chase people around at my house with coasters)
and number 2---i do that too. well slightly differently...from left to right my closet is like this: short sleeve shirts organized by color, long sleeve shirts organized by color, dresses, skirts, pants. nothing wrong with being organized!
I don't chase anyone around with coasters, but I am definitely an advocate for coaster usage. And for those who pick on me for being organized, I can find everything in my room in five seconds. It's a time saver. Haha.
hey you aren't the gabriella from levittown P.A. are you? sister daniella? no.. maybeso?
Nope, I am the Gabriella from Mechanicsburg, PA. I live near Harrisburg-but nobody ever knows where that is.
So what you're saying ... is... NO you are not.. gabriella from levittown PA ?... i wonder what happened to her.. do you know? i dont know
I stole her identity, she no longer exists.
noo stop being so silly. i think you're joking
Good call, I am joking. But I don't know anyone from Levitown, so I don't know what happened to her.
stop lying to me ! when will these lies end.. just stop it. it hurts me
