Well, i've got a fairly bad case of CDO - like OCD, but that way all the letters line up >_<

On a more serious note, can't stand odd numbers for volume, air con, or anything like that. Though i'm in the process of getting myself a retro radio that I saw at the NEC with two dials, no odd numbers and no little "pointers" on the dial which would have to be vertical.

Have to have windows either up or down - there is no in between! However, sliding windows on the mk1 and 2 solves this problem nicely :D

Same with plugs, if I see one switched on (if there's nothing plugged in) i'll turn it off.

In our kitchen, we have two light units, which means we've got two switches - those have to be the same when both lights or on/off (so have to switch between each end of the room to sort this :cry:)

Yeah, we're not perfect - but where's the fun in that?

when cutting cheese to put in my sandwich..i always chuck the first slice away..lol


i do exactly the same, if the dog isnt in to eat it i usually leave it on the side just to annoy every1 else in the house!!!

if i'm testing a switch or having to turn something on or off i have to make sure that the switch goes back to how it origionally was!

Same for me with the switches. Also everything has to be straight, be it a picture on the wall (exception is posters - as long as they are at a really off angle) or a piece of paper on the desk. Also, (this is weird...) if someone says a new word or an intersting word, or a three-letter-abbreviation that I've not heard before, I have to imagine writing it down in my head (kinda like the magic pencil thing on TV when I was a kid, remember that?) and then re-read it back to myself until it becomes clear in my head, otherwise I simply can't remember it and I get confused and frustrated because I've not understood it, and don't listen to the rest of the conversation.

Weird eh? :)

i have to tap a can 3times before i can open it, i was told when i was younger that this stops it fizzing all over when you open it after its been shaken, i think that questionable??
but i do it even if the can hasn't been shaken


Thats like werid if you dont do it in my opinion. How can anyone open a can without giving it a good old tap tap tap before?!?
I even do it with cans of beans, the sort that u pull open!

this one really bugs people i know..

when i have pulled up some where, I give the car a little rev just before shutting him off....

Then when he is off, i press the throttle pedal twice, but only going half way down the travel, before i get out.

I will proudly say im wierd lol




i also put my socks on after doing my hair, and if i havnt done my hair, i dont wear socks laughing my ass off

OCD? :)

i used to have quite bad ocd but its sortof faded over the last 3 years or so
i used to have to put all the coins in my pocket in size order and heads up, in my hand before i put them in.
then my mates etc picked up on it and i was like going, i dont have to do it then through them in my pocket. only to sort them out sneakily like a minute later because it was driving me insane
things like having the dials in cars all lining up the same, thats why i have a mini. but the heater is always set on screen in the middle

i have to tap on anything thats in front of me, or shake my feet or tap my teeth together in tune to something in my head.
i have some really really weird things i do that will creep people out and you wont be able to understand

but the volum thing, i used to have to always have it on multiple of 5 or an even number
but recently it had to be either 9, 19, or 29

i just had to run back upstairs because i left this half typed out and was driving me crazy already.

ive recently started clenching my teeth soi can feel it in my temples for some reason

You all sound OK to me the answer for some is after doing something say to yourself check once and do so then walk away that has worked for many people hard work give it a fair try

Must always have pound notes in my wallet with the largest at the back going foward to the smallest. They must also be the right way up and the Queen facing towards me when I open it.

The radio volume must always be on an even number.

Before i start the mini or just after I stop the engine i always wiggle the gear shift 2-3 times from side to side to check it's out of gear.
