What are you a little OCD about?

[CarlyP]

I can't have wet hands if not necessary - like ever!

Example - If I bath the kids I wear gloves

I hate the dry feeling wet hands leaves, honestly I'm cringing as I'm typing and I want to rush for my hand cream.

I always have to check the front/back door at least 3x before going out.

I always check the kids even though OH does it and says their fine, I still have too.

Windscreen wipers must be in the down position when car is off
Cutlery must face the same way in the drawer
Have to sleep on the side of the bed that is furthest from the door

 

[kmbabycrazy]

In the mug cupboard all mugs must have their handles facing the same way. Same with pan handles both in the cupboard and when cooking. I also can't sleep if the quilt is the wrong way. Also we have a throw to put of the sofa that's stripy and all the stripes must be straight not slanted it does my head in x

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I do the hanger thing too - i also have to have the logo facing a certain way too lol
Volume on tv/radio etc has to be at certain points. Ideally it has to be either 5, 10, 15 , 20 etc. If it's too loud on say 10 then it has to be 8. If it's not loud enough on 10 but too loud on 15 then it has to be 12!!

I agree we just have things too loud if it's too quite 5 notches down lol because I can't stand if the volume number doesn't end in 0 ir 5. My sister's TV is odd and it jumps quite a lot with each number and only goes up to 9 so to have it on at the right volume is like 3/4 and 5 is too loud as she lives in a little flat and it makes me cringe just knowing it's not on 5 haha x

-hangers facing the same side, they all should be the same colour.
- hate labels hanging out, I cut most labels
- glasses are organized by size, all should be facing up
- no odd plates on the dining table
- all food/ leftovers are in matching glass Tupperware in the fridge
- bedsheets are either white or cream- no colours/ patterns/ prints. The same with towels

I have too many to list

Everything here house has to be spotless before i can relax if not im angry all day can never relax

 

[LittleBoo]

Ahh I have loads of minor things, bedsheets towels and dishes etc. But my worst is scratching my scalp to the point of bleeding... and continuing to scratch. I can't stop! I did find out what this type of thing is called, all I recall is it's a type of obsessive compulsive behaviour.

 

[hannah22]

[nic18]

[Boothh]

I'm a shopping trolley freak too, it all has to be a certain way, iv been known to actually shout at DH in the middle of asda for trying to 'help' me put it on the conveyor!!
I also can't stand volumes to be on an uneven number I can't relax at all if its on an odd number, don't know why but I hate it!

 

[Tegans Mama]

[pinklightbulb]

Light switches- I always have to re-check they're off at least 3 times.
Same with the oven.
Can't touch door handles with bare skin, or the kitchen taps even though I clean them.
Won't take out the bin but then get anxious if OH does it as he refuses to wash his hands after

Won't touch shopping trolley handles with bare skin either.
Refuse to put the boys in the trolley seats at the supermarket too unless I have a blanket.

I do the same.

With the washing up when I was in year 8 we were taught how to do it in the proper order from least dirty to dirty to minimise how often you need to change the water. I haven't done it in any other order since. It goes glasses, beakers, mugs, cutlery, bowls, plates, utensils, pans. And then always at the end I wash babies bottles in a fresh lot of hot soapy water.

I have to shower in the same order too and if I do it wrong I start again wacko

I also have to alternate loads on the washing like I can't do two light loads in a row haha. It has to go light, dark, light, dark haha x

I always put my right leg and arm into my clothes first.
I can't sleep without socks.
