Obsessive or not

[smokey the elder]

You folks should enter USA Network's "Monk" contests!

I have to clean up between stages of cooking.

My lab bench has to be organized...just so.

I have to do everything in the same order in the AM or get all discombobulated!

[mruffruff]

Closet doors and all drawers must be closed when not in use.

All clothes must hang facing the same direction.

Bed must be made before leaving the house.

Livingroom and den must be picked up before bedtime, and all dishes done or in the dishwasher.

When passing someone on the street or in a hallway, I always stay to the right.

The morning routine can't be changed or I get confused and am late for work.

[M&M's Mommy]

I *MUST* have a book/magazine when I go potty, otherwise I will sit there for hours & still cannot go

When eating out, I must wipe my mouth after every bite. I've been known to use the entire napkin container on a bowl of soup. Waiters at the restaurants I frequent now bring ton of extra napkins to our table when they see me entering

I must wash dishes immediately after each meal. I cannot stand a sink full of dirty dishes.

I cannot stand labels on cans/bottles/packages. The first thing I do when I buy any new things (shampoos, ketchup, hairsprays, etc.) is to remove their label. I cannot stand the sticky adhesive that sometimes is left behind either, so I'll wash & scratch & wipe & wash somemore until the outside is completely clean

I cannot stand the cap on the pen. If the pen comes with the cap, I'll throw the cap away before using the pen, or buy those retractable pen that doesn't have cap.

I'm always late to anything. My husband is an extreme on-timer, so I drive him crazy, and he does me!! Even though I recognize that this is one of my shortcomings, and wanted to change, I still cannot bring myself to be on time.

Thought of another one:

Curtains must be shut properly! No gaps allowed!

Basically numbers must be a multiple of 2 or 5. (why does cat litter have to have a box of 21 lbs drives me crazy? Why can't it be 20 lbs or 25 lbs?)

Finally! Someone who knows how I feel!

I, too, am obsessed with numbers being a multiple of two or five [particularly fives]. When I'm turning up my TV volume [or any other volume] it must be on a number that is a multiple of two or five, if not it drives me crazy... one time I actually tried putting it on nineteen, and I could not watch the show peacefully until I put it on twenty.

Hmm... let's see what else...

- My ears must be covered when I sleep. Usually I just cover them with my hair.

- I don't know how to explain this next one. I guess you could say I am obsessed with doing things in patterns.

- Whenever I'm giving lovings to CC and I put my face to his and he [lovingly] headbutts it, I must always kiss his forehead. I tried not kissing it once, and I just couldn't bear to not do it. And it seems that even CC is used to me kissing his head - whenever I don't, he'll stand there with his face down, showing his forehead, until I kiss it, and then he'll go back to normal.

- Ever since I was a young child I had to smell everything I held [books and CD booklets are the best ].

That's all I can think of for now.

~My hair MUST cover my ears at all time. If not, they start to feel cold even when it's hot out. My friends always try to make me show my ears.

~Dishes must be done in my order. Cups; Bowls; Silver wear; 'big stuff'. I can't stand to watch people do them in any other order.

~Food on plate must NOT be touching. If it does, I will not eat it.

~Dogs must be fed in this order. Again, I don't like to feed them any other way. Molly gets fed first, then Astra then Prince.

~I must do my morning and night time routine in the same order. If not, I feel weird and can't carry out with my day. If I forget to do something before I go to bed, then I get up and go do that forgotten thing.

That's all I can think of right now. I'll probably add more later. I guess I'm not as crazy as I thought I was

There is only one way to fold towels in my house, if it isn't done MY way, I will re-fold them. They must be folded in half lengthwise first, then again, then into thirds widthwise.
Kitchen towels only get folded in half once, then into thirds.

Pants hanging in my closet must stay on one side, all tops on the other side and they are hanging in order of color. Black tops start on my right, blue, green, red... etc, ending with white tops.

Food on my plate can not touch.
