Weird obsessions/habits

[petes_dragon]

Hi,

Does anyone have any?

Mine is that all of my clothes are arranged in order of colour eg drawer 1 = black tops, drawer 2 = white tops etc and I've got a bit of a thing about colour co-ordinating outfits.........but other than that I'm a complete slob and hate doing any kind of housework,decorating etc

Anyone else?

A xXx

Pegs! every item of clothing has to have the same colour pegs on them, I can't cope with a T-shirt blowing in the wind with one purple peg and one white peg.. grrrrrrrrr.

Enigma I'm not that bad....saliva dripping onto fingers what mental hospital do you work in LOL

[Lore]

Steps away from Crilly. :o\

[Neenee]

every time i push the "call" button on a lift, i always have to cover my finger with something, a tissue or my sleeve.. in case i get electric shocks

and

when i have my car radio on, i always have to have the volume on an even number... hate it on an odd number!!!

I have to have my cutlery drawers arranged *just so* - like knives in the knife section, forks in the fork section, spoons etc etc - you get the picture. I thought everyone did that though :(

I think my real obsession though, is that I cannot stand crockery, cutlery, pans etc which still have dirty washing up liquid all over them - some people wash up in the soapy water and then put the dishes on the drainer and don't rinse the soap off. Arggghhhhh - everyone rinses the shampoo soap out of their hair, the laundry soap off their clothes, so why on earth not the washing up liquid off their dishes?? To me it means one might as well have not bothered to wash them if all one was going to do was swill them around in dirty water.... think about it please...

any paper money i have HAS to be all the right way round.

Trust me on that one Crilly. You may just lightly suck on pens but some people really go to town on them ! I kid you not. I had a colleague once who borrowed my pen once - and I stress once - and handed it back to me all chewed and soggy. When she did , it was all bunged up and running with saliva. Gross beyond belief ! I let her keep the pen. As if I would want it back after that !

I only ever sucked on the end of a pen once , when I was a wee girl and it backfired on me because the pen burst in my mouth and the taste was foul. I looked some sight as well with blue ink around my lips. Maybe that's why I would never put a pen near my mouth now.

I could only buy prepacked foods such as cheese, if the price was an even number.....also i constantly make 'patterns' out of my surroudings, in my head - windows, paving slabs, bricks, pictures on walls - you take the first one miss one then take the next etc etc - but if it works out so that one is left, i have to start again and try it with a different pattern, like - take the first, miss two, take the next......etc. I didn realise i did it for years but i've actually don it since i was a child. Its something to do with having an organised, methodical mind.....
Other than that - yes, i am a complete nutter!!!!

[mccfluff]

i can't stand being late, even if i end up being an hour early, id rather that then 1 min late!, also papers mags etc i hate anyone else reading them before me

[PAWSABELLE]

Like Lore, I have an obsession about pegs, each item has to have the same colour, and I have certain colours for different items of clothing!! It takes ages to peg my washing out, wish I could get over it!

[missmay]

im not expecting you to do anything i just thought id share my experience,it gave me very bad heartburn

[enigma]

Oh actually I do have another one. I have to have the first drink from a glass bottle of Irn Bru. The first drink is always the best (or so it seems) and it has to be from a glass bottle. It seems to taste different from a plastic bottle.

I think this is very common. I used to have to hang socks on the line in pairs with a pair needing the same colour peg! What you have to do is force yourself to not do it and when you then discover that everything is still OK you're cured. More or less!

[bubbly girly]

I have this weird habbit where I rub my eyebrow and pick at it and stuff. It used to be really bad where I had this bald spot in the middle of my eye brow but it's better now. I still do it every day though. I'm doing it now actually. Darn it!

[vicster2006]

i have loads

i have issues with cups and plates
the cup has to be a certain shape hard to explain a bit like a latte cup but not as tall and a bit fatter ( asda do realy nice shaped cups lol) my mum has a dinner service that i refuse to touch because it freaks me out its a pale blue colour and looks a bit like school plates or hosptial platesi would rather loose a finger than eat or drink out of them
.
if im drinking a hot drink i need to know and see it has been stirred to the point where i need to see the little swirly bit go round like when u pull the plug in the sink, if there is too much liquid in the cup i will pour it away and make another there has to be a certain amount space between the drink and the lip of the cup i would say 1.5 cm is ample. i sound like a right nutter!!

i have a pillow that i need to sleep with that ive had for years since i was a kid.

again public toilets i use my sleeves to open doors etc

in work when i turn my pc on i have to open my programs in a certain order other wise i will have a bad day.

i think i need profesional help lol!!

[vicster2006]

ive thought of another if im in a clothes shop just looking at the stuff and the hangers are messed up i.e 1 hung one way then the next hung the other i have to fix and put it the right way.

yours sincerly

A.FREAK haha

I'm with the pegs one. I have a rotary dryer that has 4 sides and my pegs are in 4 colours, I have to put the same colour pegs on the same side of the dryer. I even shouted at my mum that she was doing it wrong. I also have fridge magnets and only certain ones are allowed on the front of the fridge, they're square and have been lined up using a spirtit level, if they get moved i freak out. Cutlery drawer has to be laid out in a certain way and tea, coffee and sugar containers have to be put in alphabetical order. Hence I'm seperated!!!!!!
