My OCD is clean glass, I can't stand a mirror or anything made of glass with water stains, fingerprints or dirty. It has to be perfectly clear. I can spend hours cleaning the glass doors and windows of my apartment and I clean them everyday.

I am completely obsessed with volume numbers on TV. They have to be even or multiples of 5. I don't know why but my mom is like that as well. If I can see what the volume number is, I have to change it to an even number of multiple in 5 otherwise I can't listen to it. It drives me crazy.

Oh, I pluck my eyebrows obsessively. They're not super thin or crazily shaped...they have a nice shape. But if random hairs grow in 'outside the lines,' then it drives me crazy if I can't get rid of them right away. Maybe that's vanity, not OCD. Lol. But either way, they have to be PERFECT.

When I work the microwave, the numbers MUST end in either 7 or 3. I told my friend about it, and she said she had the same problem just with different numbers :lol: Also, my writing, I can't simply answer yes or no, there's always an annoyingly long description. I have a set of coloured markers that came in a plastic box, and the colours always MUST be in the same order that they were originally, and the logo facing up. I also can't stand it if my glasses fall even a micro-millimetre down my nose, I'm constantly pushing them up even if they're as high as they can go. (contacts FTW)



And Sarah-Lynn, PWN originated from an accidental type-o from a gamer. It's meant to be OWN, but the p is right beside o on the keyboard. And to own someone simply means to be better than them. So if you've destroyed them in a game, you've "owned/pwned" them. The stupid type-o just stuck.

Like previously stated, my television volume has to be a multiple of five.
When applauding, I have to clap eleven times.
I'm a stickler for grammar and spelling. I'll proofread something a million times if necessary.
When I'm playing a hand-held game, such as something on my DS, the volume MUST be off.
I have a weird thing with numbers; I can remember almost any series of numbers that I see.
I make a lot of crafty things in my work (I'm a children's storyteller) and if whatever it is that I'm working on is not absolutely perfect, I toss it out and start over again.

That's it for now, but I'm certain there are many more things about which I am obessive-compulsive.

OME. Me too! I hate, hate, hate when the hairs (the ones that shouldn't be there) are too short to be plucked, but you can still see them. Ugh. So annoying.

Also, I color-code the clothes in my drawers. I put my books (when in my bag) in size order and class order.
I alphabetize everything.
I organize everything (that is put away in a drawer). (Shockingly, my room is a terrible mess. I should clean it.)

More to come...

If the lights are on and it's bright enough outside to see with them off. When people ask me why, I tell them I want to save money and the environment. But really, it just makes me twitchy...*twitches*

Or if somebody's whose talking has to clear their throat and they DON'T.
