Don't know that I worded the title properly but are there certain things that you're obsessive/compulsive about?

With me, it's chairs. If I walk into a room and the chairs are pulled away from the table I'll walk around and push every one back in.

How about you? Any quirky habits like that?

Unfortunately if I walk into a bar/restaurant I will make sure all the stools are all straight at the bar not sure why it bugs the shit outta me if they arent. I get some strange ass looks while im fixing the problem. Also If someone is chewing with their mouth open i will go up and say something to them.

That's how I am with the chairs at my office. I'll walk into the bosses office and start pushing in his chairs before I say anything to him.

That's a definite pet peeve for me too. Not something that I obsess on though.

Dirty laundry is an issue too. My ex wife and her kids were fucking pigs and I can't stand seeing laundry pile up. I'm by no means a "neat freak" but I guess her being a slob made me more of a "neater" freak.

I dont obsess over them, I just do them. I dont like clutter and things in my way. IE my desk at work. Its clean and easy to find things.

Ice water. I have to have a frozen bottle of water with me almost always. Depending on the temp outside, I will freeze the bottle accordingly so that it melts to where I maximize the amount of ice water I'll have w me. Lol everyone who knows me thinks I'm nuts.

I keep my desk at work organized a certain way and I hate it when my boss changes it. It's actually weird because I am not that way at home whatsoever.

Even though we have a modern stove without pilot lights, I can't stand anything flammable sitting on the cook top.

1. My carpet has to be freshly swept - NO footprints
2. I don't like water left in my sinks
3. I like my bed made
4. My towels all have to be folded and stacked a certain way
5. Books have to be flush with the edge of the bookshelf
6. Labels on canned goods in my cupboards have to be facing the same direction
OMG I could go on and on. I've got a bit of a OCD problem as you can see

I have quite a few --- I'm 25 now and it seems to have gotten worse with age...

-I hate smelling like food. If I go out to eat (rare) I shower immediately when I get home. Same for cooking in the house, I take a shower each morning before work, and I take a shower after dinner, just a quick 3-5 min. shower, but I wish I could get over this.

-Things being out of place in general. Example -- I'm laying on the couch watching TV and I look over and see a slight gap in the sliding door curtains (not pulled all the way together), I can try to ignore it, but I just have to get up and fix it. Or, maybe there is a netflix envelope on the TV stand that usually isn't there, it's gotta go.

-Glasses on my face have to be perfectly level..I rarely wear them because I am constantly adjusting the arms and nose pieces.



Halp me.

My bed has to be perfectly made. Pillows lined up accordingly, sheet tucked in tight and comforter has to be the same length from the floor on each side. Also I have a thing where everything needs to be evenly lined up (books, movies, games, shoes, etc).

I have several. I can't even get started on them, I don't know them all because I don't even realize it sometimes. My wife can probably tell all of mine.

I am obviously a dirty filthy slob because I'm way to lazy to take the time on almost all of these.

Making sure the door is locked (after I lock it), making sure the alarm clock is set (after I set it), turning off lights where nobody is (or has been for multi-hours) and straightening crooked pictures!!!!!

I hate at work when people roll silverware in the service station. Get out of my way.

I hate in class when people ask a question at the beginning of a lesson. Give the teacher time to explain the shit. Nobody understands calculus in two sentences.

When I play pool, the chalk has to be on a dot on the side of the table.

My phone has to be in my left front pocket if it's in a pocket. I can't stand it any where else.

When I hold hands with my girl, my thumb has to be on the outside.

Those might be more like pet peeved but whatever.
