I think all of us have it in some level. I know I do. I'm not a neat freak but I've the tendancy to do somethings in some way. Like..

-walking in shopping malls with tiles, i've to step just into the square.
-my itunes playlist, all the names have to be the same although it doesn't matter (Master of Puppets VS Master Of Puppets)
-solitaire/freecell, i've to make sure the stack is neatly done before I bring them up.

what things do you do are OCD like?
 
well...
-I have the same thing on my iTunes playlist... everything has to be neat and tidy...
-I can't have anything out of place in the car and there must be nothing extra in the interior... like no dolls hanging or air-freshners or anything....
-and my laptop has to be perfectly parellel to my mouse pad... so I always shift either one :lol:

that is just werid lol...................i did that as a young kid like 5 as a game but not n e more............
 
Here's more.

In strategy games like WC3 and SC i've to build those supply structures very very neatly. I'd go to the extent of destroying a few buildings just to make them adjacent to each other.
 
:cry:

I admit I have it on a moderate scale.

Yup, even back in the days of WarCraft II I would place builidngs in neat little formations.

Yes, I would wash my hands for the oddest reasons.

And if I'm walking about outside, I would turn back and look to check if I dropped something, even though I know I didn't.
 
Man, I thin I have that as well... Though I didn't know there is a name for it...

Same thing with the tiles... Except I'm in a hurry.. I also do the same thing you do in Warcraft in Generals... Haha...

Also, when I clean my rooms, which happens no too often, I try to place every object that is not in a drawer as parallel as possible to the table/shelf its on.

Buba
 
The only thing I can think of is my obsession with the cooker. When I leave the house, after I've fixed me something, I often lock the door only to unlock it a few secs. later to double check if the stove is properly turned off.
 
How funny to see everyone has this, I had it a few years ago when I was 10 or so.

Needed to walk the 'even' steps (so 10-12-14 or 16 steps, NOT 15!! then I would have to do the last step again.)

I did the tiles on the road too
 
I've a male friend who has teddy bears (don't ask) and he has to face all of them at the same direction. He'll always try to correct them. His guitar case also has to have everything sort in some order. I call him ocd for this reason.
 
when I place my magazines or put the newspapers up for trash... they have to be all placed in the same direction and placed the right way up and I always throw away newspaper the way I bought them.. all still in 1 piece :lol:
 
I read somewhere (B3TA I think) about a guy who bought his obsessive cumpulsive brother some socks with the names of the days printed on. Then after a couple of months stole the Fridays, the mental anguish must have been amazing. :lol:
 
we're not. Its perfectly normal human behaviour which makes you ABNORMAL.
 
OCD is in every human being at a certain level... as zyran said... if you don't have it... ur abnormal... I bet you have some as well
I just thought of one as well.... every person in my cellphones phonebook has to have their First and Last names and has to be their real name... not nickname or anything :lol:
 
Oooh yeah cellphones. I can't stand seeing some with the +60 infron of the numbers. As for the names as well they must have all the same prefix (John hp, Bill hp, Smith hse, Kate hse. NO Kate HSE, Kate HOUSE, Kate hs)
 
When I'm behind my computer I always have to be listening to something. I can't stand silence. Other than that I'm real messy.
