Considering all the middle-aged mischief you get into, your penis probably doesn't know where your hands have been.

I find it's usually best for body parts to be out of communication with each other. especially when it comes to getting hurt. say, if I stub my toe, my finger gets jealous and has to hurt itself somehow. it's just out of control.

at dinner- i eat entree first, then sides, making sure as much as possible that the entree is not touching the other food. . .for fast food, hamburger first, then fries, then coke; i like wine with food for pairings, so i've relaxed that routine when wine is present

money- i take all my bills and order them so they are facing the same way, then organize by denomination; within each denomination, i organize by federal reserve bank (each bank has a different number- boston is 1 and san francisco is 12, for example), then by serial number.

i hate the feel of cotton balls

haha! i'm with you up to organizing by federal reserve bank, etc (that's plain crazy ;) ). instead, i order mine by condition, i.e. ratty bills up front to get rid of them first, crisp in the back.

If I pick up a food item that I touch with my hands (which is rare, because I don't like to touch my food) I won't put it down. I will eat it all before I move on to my next item. Like a wrap or a hamburger, anything that has a "cover" to it, I will touch and will eat the whole thing without putting it down or moving on to something else. I eat my pizza with a fork and knife because of this.

I put my keys, cell phone, wallet and cash down in the same place every day (same hook for the keys even). If they are moved or I was drunk and placed them somewhere else, I will undoubtedly leave the house without them the next day.

I brush my teeth in the shower in the mornings.

During baseball playoff time, after a win, I will wear the same clothes, right down to the underwear while my team is playing until they are eliminated.

If you've ever been out with venerable and the bartender leaves a bunch of ones as change, this will easily be the most annoying thing in the world when you're trying to move on to the next bar. You've been warned.

Kicking ice cubes dropped on the floor under the fridge, until i saw it mentioned in some comic strip.

I'm not kidding. Most of you have SERIOUS OCD issues.

We all have a little OCD - and that's sort of the point of this thread. It very easily could have been called "What is your OCD?"

i wash my hands with lava soap until they bleed … it adds a few hours to my day, but it's worth it to get that really fresh feeling

i once listened to bob dylan's "boots of spanish leather" on repeat for 2 hours straight. it was one of the darker times in salparadise's life.

Once on acid a friend and I listened to "Here Comes Your Man" by the Pixies and just marvled at it's perfection. We concluded that it was the greatest pop song ever written.

if i'm eating animal crackers… i'll subject the animal to a slow death.

like first i'll eat a leg off… and then an arm.. when i'm done w/ the limbs i'll bite the head off.

then i pop the torso in.

This is my peeing in a public bathroom routine -

Pee - flush with foot - pull down paper towel ready to dry hands with - turn on water - wash hands - dry hands - with towel turn off water - with towel open bathroom door - toss paper towel into bin - push bathroom door open with foot to get out.

At home I pee - wash my hands and go back to the telly….can I have an ocd about public bathrooms alone?

Here's another one - everytime I walk past my bike, which is at least twice a day, I pat the saddle as if I was patting my pet dog. What's up with that?

If I hear a song that I absolutely love I get goosebumps, if I hear a song that's being played on the radio instead of my cd, it sounds even better. :eek:

While we're on the subject of public restrooms…

I work in an office where there are about 15 men and 10 women. We have our own office restrooms separate from others in our building.

I can always tell when the boss comes into the bathroom. He grabs the door by the handle and slams it down, then slams the door open. If you're anywhere near the door (for example in front of the full length mirror that's adjacent to the door), you're going to get the door slammed right into you. He's that quick about it.

Lately, he's added a feature that he sort of drop kicks the door open after slamming the handle down, presumably so he can crush you with the door even faster and harder.

Other than that, he's a real likeable and seemingly boringly normal guy.

My only public restroom OCD is that I have a really wide stance and like to tap my foot to the beat of the last song I heard.

at which point do put your junk back in? or is that not included anywhere within that same time period?

I was waiting for that.

last weekend at a club I was in the restroom washing my hands as these other two ladies walked in, I missed the convo but the one was telling the other how she always uses the first restroom stall because it's statistically used less, and therefore cleaner.

I felt a weight lifted from my shoulders. For the longest time I've been anal (har, no pun intended) about using the first stall for the same reason and thought there was something wrong with me for being OCD about something so ridiculous. I'm so relieved I'm not the only one, and I told her so. There was a moment of bonding before she took a wee.

Except I don't like to tell people that story, or about my strange habit, in case the use of the first stall becomes more widespread and thus makes that stall the dirtiest, instead.

So please keep this to yourselves. Thank you.

I DO THAT TOO!

I also have these weird things…when I get really cold, I have like…shiver spasms. It's like one giant shiver. People always think it's weird, but I just found out a friend of mine gets them too…anyone else? What the hell is this?
