When I buy sox, I buy 2-3 packs and throw out all old socks regardless how nice.  I trace things mentally as if a laser is being emitted by my foot/finger/eye.  I read every line of text at least 3 times causing me to not read in an entertainment capacity.  Impose upon my routine/balance and I become a real ball buster.  Juxtaposition is a word that affects me deeply.  A table set for four must be completely symmetrical…including how wine glasses line up with knives, how dessert spoons and forks are completely parallel, etc…  If I weren’t a chef, the term “mise en place” would still mean something to me.

we are all in our own way crazy…its really what makes being civil and letting others know you so important,,,the acceptance of another’s idiosyncrasies is an acceptance of the person.

I have to cheat on my gf at-least once a week

Seriously though I don’t think I have any compulsions, but I do enjoy screwing with other peoples. I knew this bloke who had to have everything at his computer in the right place. Of-course, I would move shit here and there every fucking day just to watch him freak out.

I’m a bad person…

Are you Jeremy Clarkson? He likes taking the mick out of peoples compulsions. Did you see it last Sunday where James May couldn’t bear to see a watch with the outer bevel anywhere but aligned with 12? Clarkson kept twisting it, showing it to May who freaked out

Cheers,

That shit does my head in to SD, when someone moves something or whatever, not everything, just some things and it freaks me out!!

Atleast im not alone anyways!!

thanks for starting this thread spondoolic!

i’ve got several - everything (on any shelf or in any cabinet - food,books,music or dvd/vhs) must be alphabetized - (foods must have) the nutritritional information must be facing out.

anything with a numeric volume control (or any numeric type of control) must be set to an even number. if i change the volume i will only change it to an even number. all the silverware must be stacked in neatly organized stacks and there must be no water spots on anything.

i’ve gotten better with the doors - as i have an alarm - so i don’t check too much - as i will probably set it off with my constant checking!

i could go on - but thanks for showing me that others do some similar stuff! i don’t think my wife has noticed too much yet - i think she’s just happy i put stuff away!

I also have a few, but Spondoolic is why nuttier than I am.

Although, the volume on my car radio shows the volume number - I must have the volume on a multiple of five.

I must fold all towels and clothes in the same way and they must all be stacked identically in the cupboard.

I’m a stickler for right angles and even if I see a pile of papers for example on the reception desk in my office, I will straighten them all so that they look neat and are perpendicular to the table.

I also have a set order in which I catch up on all websites I like to read when I get to the office in the morning.

Other than that, I’m totally sane.
