Any minor obsessive-compulsive behavorial habits you MUST follow?

Accent on "minor". When drinking a coffee from a paper container with a plastic lid, the drinking hole must be exactly opposite the cup's seam. That's mine.

A lot of serial killers are like that. Ted Bundy was known for going on a killing spree if hole and seam didn't line up!

Is it minor anymore if I have a huge list of them?

Concerning would be the word...

Kidding. List them!

@SW-User I don't want to list them all out. But most of them have to do with the way I look. Like small things with my hair, eyelashes, nails, etc. Then there's where everything sits in my room and bathroom. It's a mess, but it's my mess. 😂 And the list goes on and on.

I see what you mean. What I mean is, I was young once and how one looks was very important (too important?).

About your mess - - I totally get that (I think). I like clutter - can't stand neatness to a fault.

I get a lot mine from work. Fold the tissue and kleenex nicely and pick up trash off of the floor.

At home. I wash the dishes a certain way. I fold a certain way.

It's really black or white with me though.

Either I'm gonna clean it all up. Or not at all.

Selective OCD.

I have to have my bed against the wall in a corner , a carry over from my childhood. That way I'm protected on two sides and only have to worry about what's in front of me .

@SW-User Yeah sometimes

Mine is never drink from a paper cup!

@SW-User Oh dear, that really wasn't my intention! Just expressing my own foibles.

@ninalanyon

That's ok. You're right though. I have a thing for containers of all kinds. Some of the Chinese food delivery containers are made of a sturdy plastic. I have cupboards full of them.
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@SW-User I collect and reuse a lot of containers too. In Norway foods like potato salad, yoghurt, cream cheese, Christmas biscuits, etc. are packaged in quite robust plastic boxes. And pate comes in very handy aluminium containers that are just the right size for baking small cakes in.

So all of these get reused often. I make a point of saving the good containers because you never know when the manufacturer will switch to something less reusable.

I have to workout before I eat in the morning

The shirts hung in my closet need equal spacing

I’ve got my fair share of minor ocd issues

All reasonable :)

Makes you unique yet normal, too.

Cooking is a hobby of mine 🤔 5 years ago I invited friends over to my home for Thanksgiving dinner 🦃 my instructions were clear : do not bring food or drink 🚫 I am catering the meal 🍗 but no, these 'friends' brought food and drink: salads, sides, desserts, beer, wine, cheese, pastries, hotdog buns 🥖 no hotdogs. just the buns. like, WHY???? 🙄 i'm obsessive about planning in advance and perfect execution 😠 these 'friends' ruined the progression of my Thanksgiving meal 🤔 sure, i could have been a gracious host and thanked them for ignoring my very clear instructions (YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!!) 😒 I could have improvised and accommodated these additional items but it pissed me off how inconsiderate these 'friends' were 😡 so, I turned off my phone and left my own party 👋 I walked around NYC for 5 hours and when I came home they were gone 🙅‍♂️ never hosted anyone ever again
