Irrational OCD

[zazen999]

Are you just fibbing now? I'm going to watch you next time! So why don't you swizzle Mr VVG's famous latte around? Drink from one side for half, turn it, then the other!

No I'm not fibbing. I'm always counting in my head everything!

I told you about the maths thing, didn't I'?

Before the days of putting things in boxes with catchy acronyms it was generically known as .... The Winter Blues .. normally cured by lighting a nice fire & sitting around it with family/friends drinking & chatting about the summer holidays to come

I wish it was that easy And what is this 'Summer' that you speak of?

I don't believe so - maybe we got waylaid talking about seeds

Yay!! Just around the corner!

Cutlery in my kitchen has to be left where it's supposed to be.
....especially no mixing of forks, spoons and knives!
( and all facing the same direction- ie no 69ing )

...other than that I'm pretty well non OCD.

No, don't start about the cutlery trays. Just don't!

[Nicos]

I thought that might be a moot point!!!

I am looking forward to the programme with hoarders meeting up with OCD tidy people - I can't decide which one I am going to be when I grow up.

I count things. Stairs, cars, people, lamp posts... I know I have 8 cauli and 6 chilli seedlings but I count them every time I give them a quick spritz. As well as the beans, peppers, totties etc.

I count my toes. What worries me is that the number varies from hour to hour...

Just be careful where you point that moot

[Nicos]

Yeh...I'm a counter too!

[Nicos]

...having said that...I love even numbers- but realise that odd numbers of groups of stuff look 'better'

Hmmm...and yup I've just realised that I count in odd numbers when chopping stuff/scanning!


Ey up...I thought I was normal before I read this thread!!!

( and yes- I did Maths A level if that gives an inside to my approach to stuff?)

Generally I like rounded and uneven shapes, and irregularity...BUT- a line of sown seed OUGHT to be exactly what it says on the tin...a straight line!!!!!

Having read all these posts I think I must have the opposite of OCD. In general cupboards drawers etc very messy (but always know where to find things) and at the allotment I can't abide to see regimented straight lines and neat blocks.
