Anyone got anything like that?
I have to make sure that all of the cups hang on the exact same hooks evrey time; that the sharp knives are in the same place in the knife block thingy; I have to turn off and unplug every electrical appliance that isn't being used, that means lights off if no one is in the room too (but that one could just be construed as being safe/energy efficient?); the living room always has to be in the exact same state - newspapers stacked in the corner, any loose pens put in the pot with lids on pointing upwards, the cushions have to always be put back in the same place (if they are placed with the wrong one on top or facing with the zip to the front then I get a bit annoyed); I like things to be placed on surfaces at right angles to each other so that they are nice and neat; and books and CDs are always in alphabetical order, if they aren't I freak out, and CDs have to be put in their cases so that the picture on the CD is correct (i.e. top of he picture at the top)
There are probably many more things I do too, but that's enough to get you all started!

Umm I have too much time today, i've made a blog and tried to sell half my belongings in order to get myself a rabies jab, but I have time to pull this apart! Anyone got anything like that? that the sharp knives are in the same place in the knife block thingy; Well you know that just makes sense, they have different sized holes don't they? Also safety too, you know you wouldn;t want something to melt or set fire (as much as I like fire and playing with the flame size on my now obsolete lighters) Thats not OCD thats being tidy. If I lived in your house I probably wouldn't be covered in bruise (I fall over something every morning) Just the same, hence why I HATE digipacks. I like things to be in size order too, and then subject. not that abnormal. Now proper OCD is scary shit I saw this programme where they got these people who couldn't touch their kids because they were scared of dirty and made them like not wash and stuff. They were mentalists, but I know they put people with OCD on anti-depressants so its not a good idea to take the mick out of them cause they have "issues" bless them, stupid issues, but issues all the same. Actually on reflection I have OCD forum style, which causes me to post huges amounts but its not my fault, its society, my upbringing and the lack of happy chemicals in my brain.

I constantly move coasters and things so they're parallel with the table edges etc., but not so much to the point that I'm bothered when they're not lined up.

there was one case of a woman who wouldn't go outdoors without being completely clean, like her clothes straight out of the washer. She was so bad she went out in wet clothes

That's quite weird... I check that things are still there. Over and over again. It's a pain in the arse getting on a plane - I constantly think I've lost everything

I must check that I have the tickets to things about a billions times on the way there!! I'm also a bit wierd about checking that I've locked doors etc ... quite often I get out of the car, lock it and then start to walk away and then stop after 30 yards and have to walk back to check that I locked it / put the hand brake on etc!

Every time I log into windows anywhere, I have to close every program in the taskbar, like quicktime, logitech quickcam, dell support on my friend's PC, and ALL other programs that i deem a waste of memory.

I got that problem too. My worst obsessions are: Not allowing any bits of different food to come into contact with each other on the plate;especially if it's bean juice. The washin-up's got to be done in a particular order.
