So many things here that I can relate too.

Putting fuel in the car, can never let it go down more than half way, get really stressed if Im not in a position to put fuel in when I'm on half a tank.

If I think of something bad, which I tend to do alot, like death of family members and my loved ones, graphic images of the death and dealing with it after, really upsets me sometimes but I can stop, anyway, I have to touch wood, but proper wood, so it doesnt happen.
I have tried to stop this, but cant sleep or do anything unless I touch something wooden.

Toilet paper, has to be off the top, this includes any toilet I go into, if I can change it, I will, otherwise I will pull out loads of paper so I dont have to use it from the wrong way.

And a really fucked up one which scares me, I get the urge to run a cyclist over when I see them, sometimes my imagination goes wild and I think of stealing a car and doing so, then burning clothes and gloves afterwards. Again I have no control over these thoughts.

there is no right or wrong way, just an easiest way, depending on the height and distance of the roll holder

When I have a bath or shower I always wash in an certain order, ladies bits down there first, then chest/neck belly, left arm, right arm, across shoulder tops/back of neck, then left of back then right of back, bottom of back and buttocks, left left, right leg then face, do it the same everytime without realising!

I do the chip thing, if have fast food eat the chips first, also if my meal has veggies I eat all of them first, I usually save my favourite part until last to eat!

When I’m settling down to sleep I always turn onto my right side and that has to be facing out of the bed not into the middle!

Oh and loo roll – over the top

J is a bit cleaning obsessive, certain jobs are done on certain days (i.e. Friday is bathroom cleaning day, Wednesday is floor washing day etc etc) that days job has to be done or he wont sleep, if there is a spillage on the hob or bird poo on the window or something he has to clean it off otherwise wont sleep (whether it actually would stop him from sleeping who knows..) and he always makes sure the dining chairs are lined up perfectly with each other

When I'm driving I'll repeat the number plate of the car in front over and over and over in my head. If the radios on I'll try and make a wee song out it.

And like StevenRW, I think about hitting oncomming traffic, or a lamppost, or if it's a hillside with a big drop, I seem to want to drive off it

I don't think I should be on the roads lol

Oh, and the worst one is I'll count to seven. Watching TV, at work, anywhere at any time, chances are I'll be counting to seven over and over in my head, unless I'm driving of course, as I'm singing the number plate thing. I wish I could stop, but I can't

I'm the same on the milk thing, i do it with Orange juice etc too, no idea why tho pmsl

All my perfumes, shower gels, body sprays etc i have on the shelf in the bedroom has to be straight with the front facing out.

Before i start cooking a meal i have to clean the kitchen tops etc even if they have been done earlier in the day.

When i leave the house to go anywhere i close all the bedroom doors. I make a point of going upstairs and doing it.

When i go shopping i have to go and get certain things first, kike fruit veg, then meat etc

When packing the shopping have to put all fruit in one bag, veg in another etc etc go mad with Dave if he does it any other way.

Think i'm on the mad list too

I honestly nearly wet myself then. I think there is a very fine line between OCD and madness, and you're straddling it.

Same here - but the other way round!

I can't go into a room (when it's dark) without turning a light on, then can't turn it off till another is turned on. Sounds like common sense - dark, can't see - but even when I can see (street light, etc, I still have to do it. Like I come in the front door, have to turn the light on. Close door, open inner door, turn hall light on, THEN turn porch light off.

I have to do a multipoint check before going out for the following : keys (2 sets), lighter, smokes, wallet, phone, ipod (if applicable). I CANNOT go out unless I have done this. Again sounds like common sense thats lots of people do, but most do it mentally or without thinking, I have to pick each one up and put it in my pocket one at a time

I'm an odd fucker... Wouldn't say I am OCD, thank fuck!, but odd

You lot really do need help

I don't like junk lying around, but it's not like I can't sleep or anything...

Also reset the odo, but just because I always use it to work out mpg - good indicator of how the car is running.

Very interesting thread indeed

I won't go into the many details of how things have to be for myself, but there are many urges I get, mainly when at work (that might be trying to tell me something?) - mainly that I want to run down the train after exiting the driving cab waiving my arms and screaming just to see the look on peoples faces

Also, I'm not sure its to do with the way I have been taught to do my job, but I always HAVE to try the maximum brake force and get the train to slide and lock all wheels up at least 2 or 3 times on a journey - quite dangerous when I think about it depending on the location and the speed

Thats just 2 of the strange things, but I am sure that other train drivers will concurr the oddities that the job makes you think and do

You lot are MAD!!!! PMSL!

I've had to think hard since Chop mentioned this thread to me last night. I can't think of anything that I've got.

Only thing I relete to is eating the chips first. But the only reason I do this is that they always go coldest first, so it's just a sensible thing to do, as cold chips are rank!!!!

My m8 used to always leave the last bite of hot dog when back in academy, but after I kept on eating it off his plate, he kept it for himself! lol
