TV, too. </p> <p>Strangely, though, I have to wake up in an odd number and it CAN'T be 0 or 5. My alarm is set for 6:41 with an 10 minute snooze so that I get out of bed at 6:51. This is only when I wake up with an alarm. Any other time it doesn't matter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2514933 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 13:37:21 +0000 peaches1038 2514933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: haha glad I'm not the only one!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2514583 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 09:37:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2514583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: YESSS thissss! *high five* </p> <p>I'm super OCD about a clean/organized house. Yes, it's a good trait, but I literally feel angry/anxious if I didn't clean. And when it's pretty bad, I'm like cleaning around people when they're here and have to consciously stop myself so people don't feel bad like they're messing up the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2514190 Sun, 03 Apr 2016 19:49:19 +0000 MoonMoon 2514190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: yes, because I use a diary app! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2514177 Sun, 03 Apr 2016 19:21:35 +0000 peaches1038 2514177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The volume on my car radio has to be an even number or end with 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2514053 Sun, 03 Apr 2016 14:22:00 +0000 Reese 2514053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: interesting! Do you keep your old records? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2514024 Sun, 03 Apr 2016 13:02:48 +0000 jh524 2514024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think since having a child I'm less obsessive about things being particular in some areas. My father is very ocd so it runs in my blood. My husband is the opposite of ocd so I've been influenced negatively. Lol lets explain, I may have a cluttered room and my husband can't find something but I know where everything is even if it's mess. :wink: </p> <p>@mrsrain: I do the same with the toilet paper! Drives me crazy if it's under and always have to fix it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2514000 Sun, 03 Apr 2016 11:57:16 +0000 Raindrop 2514000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsrain: Oh the tolite paper thing!! I am like this too... Definitely has to go over the roll. I have totally corrected / fixed this at other places than my house also. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513981 Sun, 03 Apr 2016 11:01:22 +0000 MoonMoon 2513981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I weigh myself every day, and record it.<br /> I also record when DS wakes up, when he naps, and when he falls asleep every night!<br /> I record a lot of other stuff too. It started when he was born and that info (patterns of feeds, naps, poops) could come in handy but he's 3 now so I know it's not necessary, but I can't stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513900 Sun, 03 Apr 2016 03:39:11 +0000 mrsrain 2513900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't turn off the car and leave the windshield wipers in a weird position, even if it's just for 5 minutes while I run into the store. DH does this and I make him turn the car on to put the wipers back down all the way.</p> <p>I can't drink water that's been sitting in an open cup for more than about an hour. I feel like I can taste the dust in it!</p> <p>The toilet paper must hang over the roll. Not behind it. DRIVES ME CRAZY. I have been known to change this in places other than my own home... :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513880 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 23:05:26 +0000 youboots 2513880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obsessively checking my flat iron is unplugged 3x before leaving the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513877 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 22:51:39 +0000 fussygal 2513877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I'm the same way about towels! I wasn't paying attention yesterday and folded one all weird and was going to leave it be, but I only lasted about 3 seconds before refolding the right way haha.</p> <p>@gingerbebe: I always pour myself way too much water for this reason, too. I can only think of a handful of nights I've actually ran out though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513856 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 21:52:48 +0000 Raindrop 2513856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OCD people unite!! </p> <p>Double checking and even triple things is probably the worst. I take pictures of things so I don't drive or walk back to places, since I don't believe DH when I ask him if things were locked or turned off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513845 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 21:27:04 +0000 yerpie110 2513845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't leave the house without making my bed, and it has to be done in a very specific way. DH has almost figured it out after 13 years together 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513842 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 21:23:29 +0000 magnolia 2513842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is probably common but double checking the stove and toaster oven to make sure they are turned off. </p> <p>Also double and triple checking my car is locked and alarmed ( I park on the street in NYC) . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513798 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 19:57:25 +0000 gingerbebe 2513798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't go to bed if my water bottle isn't full. If I take a few gulps, I have to send DH to top it off. I'm paranoid I will run out in the MOTN and die of thirst. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513793 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 19:50:01 +0000 jmarionsmith 2513793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't brush my hair more than a few strokes without stopping to clean out any loose strands in the brush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513791 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 19:45:14 +0000 Bao 2513791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh where to begin, I have a lot of odd obsessions. Most of them germ related though, which is probably more a legit mind issue than anything. I can't things in public and then not use hand sanitizer. I legit can feel the germs, I need to work on this. </p> <p>I can't put clothes away inside out, towels have to be folded a certain way, if they are folded wrong I have to re fold. </p> <p>The list goes on ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513783 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 19:35:19 +0000 Torchwood 2513783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have actual OCD, albeit fairly mildly, so a lot. Probably the ones that people think are weirdest are refusing to walk on any kind of grate, and refusing to use a torn paper towel/napkin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-obsessive-little-things-that-you-do#post-2513780 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 19:25:42 +0000 mrbee 2513780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I get money to put in my wallet, I always flip and turn my dollar bills to make all the Presidents face in the same direction. Sometimes I can't do it right away, and then later on at night I will pull all my cash out and sort them into the "proper" position. I try not to do it in front of other people, because it looks like I am counting my money (which I'm not) and also, it's a little embarrassing.</p> <p>This is probably the most obsessive thing that I do. I want to stop, but can't haha!</p> <p>Does anyone else do anything weird and obsessive like this? </p>
