    I don't get the thing about the toilet paper lol.

    I MUST have an immaculate house. My toilets, shower, floors and everything else are cleaned at a minimal once a week. I have a zero toleration for cat hair so I don't let my cat sit on me. :( But I pet her and play with her otherwise. Clothes must be put away and I can't tolerate them being in baskets. I freak out when there is crumbs on the counter because I'm afraid of ants and mice getting in the house even if its a newer place. The car must be spotless. I drive my husband nuts because I can't stand things being left like like video games or tools.

    I believe that the state of one's house really says a lot about that family/person's mental well being. I don't expect it to be untouched or sparkling but at least organized and clean!

    1) I HATE open cabinets or doors that arent supposed to be open.
    2) My sister NEVER EVER EVER closes her cabinets...whenever I go to her house, I walk right to the kitchen and close them.

    Myself: -- It drives me insane when cabinets and drawers are not fully closed. I will walk all the way back to the kitchen if I think I remembered one being slightly open. lol

    --When in the car (passenger) I will try and connect things.. telephone poles, drive ways, mail boxes, etc... I have to be able to "jump from one to the other" with my eyes.. or like a circling thing.. like I will move my eyes under like a half circle to connect them. Its so strange, ive done it since I was a kid.

    --I wash my hands a lot. Esp after touching meat.. even just lunch meat. I can NOT stand to have my hands smell like lunch meat or burgers... eww.. gross.. nasty.

    --I try and around things to 3... or turn them into 3.. to trace them back to 3... so the 9... would be 3 3s.. Or like 27.. if you take 1 from the 7 and put it with the 2 then it makes it 3.. and then you have 6 which is 2 3s... SEE? weird... I even got married in March. :D lmao..

    My Hubby: He never closes anything.. ever.. Its like he has no idea that tupperware not only OPENS but it CLOSES too. lmao
    He never puts anything away.. And he can NOT see a pimple without trying to GET IT! ugh.. I hate it. And he will pop my toes. I hate that more then I can even express... lol

    Glad to see that I am not the only nerotic person on MFP.

    I have to have the volume of the tv/radio at an even number, and God forbid NOT 13!

    The clothes in our closet all have to face towards the middle (mine on the hanger to the right, my husbands on the hanger to the left). All the items have to be organized by what they are and by color.

    I cannot touch meat. I will sit at home hungry until my husband comes home to unpackage the meat for dinner.

    Every items on my desk at work needs to be exactly where it is "supposed to go", and perfectly straight. Don't use my stapler and put it back croked, and WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE TO MESS UP MY BUSINESS CARD HOLDER WHEN TAKING ONE!

    I don't no anyone else that is as OCD/nerotic as me... but I know plenty of people who like to mess with me about mine.

    reading all of these posts I suddenly feel so "normal," I don't suffer from any of this although I 'like' my toilet paper to go over.

    I'm got little things that I like done in certain ways. Everybody does. Everything in the kitchen has a place. Things on my desk and in my closet go a specific way. That's normal.

    The only thing that will really keep me up at night is how the bed is made, but even this doesn't bother me if I'm not sleeping in it. Fitted sheet must be smooth - no wrinkles! No crumbs, dirt, fuzz, etc in the bed. I can feel it and it will keep me up. I've got a serious Princess and the Pea thing going on. The top sheet must be tucked in tightly at the bottom and on the sides. The top edge of the comforter should fall right at my chin - I don't want to be smothered in extra heaps of cover. If there are creases or lines in the comforter, they should line up with the edge of the mattress. Pillows, again, should be free of wrinkles and should have the opening facing the middle of the bed.

    The crumbs/dirt thing is a problem considering the fact that my boyfriend feels that he cannot sleep without having a last minute snack while laying in bed. I hate hate hate that. If you want a snack, get up. Don't eat in bed! When my ex and I lived together, he would not wipe his feet off before getting into bed. There would be dirt and sand and crap in the bed all the time. I can't tell you how many times I had to tear the covers off and remake the bed just so I could sleep. He thought it was hilarious & would do it on purpose. But he was a jerkface, and that's why he's single now :P
