Does anyone have any OCD habits? One of mine is that if ANYONE uses my phone at work, I have to clean it with a disinfecting wipe before I can use it again! It completely freaks me out....
What are some of your weird OCD habits?

    I have to check my curling iron about 1/2 dozen times in the morning to make sure I unplugged it. I've been known to turn around and go re-check it. :embarassed:

    Everything I do is a little bit OCD. :ohwell: The most annoying one is having to always line things up on my desk. Pens lined up next to the papers, perfectly spaced... :laugh: :blushing:

    Pictures that are sitting on my desk have to be positioned a certain way, if not, I can't function until I fix it...The big kicker for me is that my clothes have to be folded a certain way and when I hang blouses or pants the hangers all have to be hung in a particular position. My sister laughs at me because of this!!

    I joke about it but mine is similar to yours. I work from home now so I don't have to think about it but I work for a group of dentists and anytime anyone touched my phone, keyboard or mouse I would use cavacide 9heavy duty disinfectant) on all of it, also, every morning and after lunch I would wipe the counter where my work was and where patients leaned on. All that and shopping carts don't get a second thought! :laugh: :wink:

    Also, at the start of each work day I have to have everything where I like it, phone, post its you name it, can't start until it's all in place!

    When I play a game of cards or any game that has cards in it, the stack of cards and the discard pile have to be perfectly lined up!

    I also have to have the toilet paper coming from the top of the roll. If it is underneath, I will change it, even if it is not my house!:tongue:

    I hate it when my mom does that!! :laugh: Under is for houses with kids...over is for houses without. One tug on a roll that's going over & the whole roll comes unraveled.

    :laugh: :laugh: I think everything I do is a little OCD. My pots and pans have to be stacked a certain way, toilet paper on top, cans in the pantry have to have the label facing forward, silverware has to be facing down in the dishwasher, clothes folded a certain way and pants hung with a crease in the front, you name it and I probably have some weird OCD way of doing it.

    Oh, probably number one OCD habit of mine that drives the DH crazy--the sheets on the bed have to be perfect and tucked in on both sides or I can't go to sleep at night. I make him get out of bed and help me fix the sheets. :laugh: :laugh:

    Constantly looking at myself in the rearview mirror when I'm in the car. It's something I absolutely don't want to do, and I try to fight it, but I give in a lot. It may sound vain, but it's not out of vanity...it used to be a constant obsession with checking my make-up, but now it's remained as a habit.

    I have others, but that one came to mind.

    Thank you! I do the same thing.
