I'm glad that other people have the same kind of odd habits as me! I always check my mini atleast 3 times before I can lock my front door and go to bed. I leave it in the garage. Once my Dad was messing with the remote and he kept pressing it, I knew that it wouldn't have unlocked it because we were too far away but I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I had to get changed and go outside to make sure that it was still locked in the garage! Haha.

It's only because I care about it so much. Also when I park up even if the boot has been locked for a week because I haven't used it, I have to make sure that it's locked before I walk away.. even tho it hasn't been touched! I can't walk around a shop properly if I haven't checked it

I don't have OCD, but I do when it comes to my Mini.

Around 2007 I was diagnosed with mild OCD-like behavior.

1. If I do dishes I always put the cups upside down....I'm scared something will get in them
2. I also have to smell a cup before using it
3. I ALWAYS lift the toilet seat to make sure there isn't a spider hiding under just waiting to bite my arse
4. I NEVER drink anything in a can completely gone....the stuff at the bottom always "seems" dirty
5. I wipe my glasses off at least every half hour whether they are smudged or not
6. I cannot stand it when things are halfway off a surface....like if I sat my laptop on the coffee table I make sure it is straight with the edge of the table
7. I'm afraid to use the phone and when I do I often stutter
8. I stutter
9. Before I play my guitar I tune it even if it is in tune, then I tune it again halfway through, then once more before tucking it away
10. If I'm doing something that is being timed my conscience makes bets with me, example. If I am cooking something in the Microwave and there is 10 seconds left I MUST get a napkin, utensil, plate/bowl and get my drink out of the fridge and close the fridge BEFORE the microwave starts beeping or someone I know will get hurt or die due to me missing the deadline....crazy I know.
11. I argue with myself alot
12. I always "feel" someone following me and turn around to find no one around

10 and 11! DITTO, and i make deals with myself, like if you remember to wear this bracelet tomorrow you'll meet the deadline for that coursework, if you forget the bracelet however...
i think half of us need to be in a nuthouse!

Number 10!! All these things are coming back to me... but I remember a few years ago when I was going to Himley Hall Mni Fair and I was taking my Mini for the first time.. I said to myself that if I didn't check the oil and water within 5 mins it would rain on the day and would be a waste of a day! I'm really happy to know that someone else has done this. After I had done this I thought I was going mad, and thought to myself that I was being really silly

Minisam sounds good to me and saves the house wallpaper.I would call that SQUARE,if you have a drink in a cup i bet it must be in the middle of mat.

Dunno why but ever since i could walk, i always try to step on the cracks in the pavement, not miss them. Bit backwards i know, but there you go.

[TashHaggertay]

when i'm driving, in my head i pretend that Minty can fly and i make him fly over all the bits of the road with a shadow accross it, like a computer game!

Thats more than slightly odd...
Altho it could be worse, you could have missed out the bit about you pretending.
