What things do you have to have just so?

[Ghoulish Delight]

I couldn't think of anything until the shower was mentioned:

1. Wet hair
2. 1st shampoo application (don't rinse)
3. Wash face
4. Rise shampoo and face
5. 2nd shampoo application (don't rinse)
6. Armpits
7. Body
8. Rinse shampoo and soap

-If I'm shaving-

8. Apply shaving cream
9. Apply conditioner (don't rinse)
10. Shave
11. Final rinse

NEVER DEVIATE. EVER.



And all foods mix. All.

I must have condiments spread evenly on the surface of the bread of a sandwich.

Toast must be buttered all the way to the edges.

My cell phone must be in my left front pocket and money clip and keys must be in my right front pocket.

If I am barefoot and step on a texture with one foot, I must step on the same texture with the other foot.

We could change this thread title to the OCD thread.

Front right, wallet and cell. Front left keys. Check that this is so. Constantly.

My only one so far... just reversed

money clip and cell in left front pocket, keys and odd change in right front pocket - checked constantly

Many times I'll scold myself at the front door: "Do NOT stick your hand in your pocket again. You KNOW your keys are in your pocket... YOU JUST PUT THEM THERE!!!!"

I'm reminded of Bilbo Baggins looking for his 'precious'....lol.

I'm a little OCD about leaving things plugged in- even if they are off, they can still start a fire. My only real ritual that I can think of is I MUST have at least one cup of coffee in me before attempting to interact with humans. I'm sure the kid can list a bunch of my idiosyncrasy, but I'm kinda drawing a blank right now. Probably need some coffee.

We could.

Socks have to fit just so. If the seam hits either foot wrong both go in the dirty clothes. I buy tagless or cut the tags out or the same cycle repeats with regular clothes.

Glasses rim down.

I must walk on the left side of most people. If we're one on one and I walk on your right I am extremely comfortable with you.

Sheets must be a certain tightness and not bunchy towards the foot of the bed.

M&Ms by color, brown last.

I do try and break some of my quirks, like sitting at a specific spot at a table, walking on one side or the other of people, eating random color M&Ms.

And some days I wake up feeling like I am one step out of synch because something isn't just so.

I don't wear socks with shoes because it makes me feel like I don't have enough room on my feet for my little toes. Seriously.

I must walk on the right side of all people (or otherwise I can't hear you.) I also must try to sit on the right-hand corner of a restaurant table so as to hear you (though the waiter won't be heard.)

When stacking the dishwasher cutlery rack, teaspoons must be placed in an outer cell of the basket, with taller cutlery in the middle cells. Sharp knives must be point down, all other cutlery must be business-end up.

Stoat NEVER mixes food.

I wash my hair everyday, but once a week I allow myself to use one of my collected shampoos from an American hotel (Preferably Hojo's Orange-Choc scented one). This allows me to daydream about being back there.
