What minor ocd traits do you have?

All the forks in the cutlery drawer need to be the same way up so that they sit into each other

If I am due to spend at least a night away in a town/city I have never visited before, I will research the environs on google maps, and very often explore the streets on street view as well.

Would be completely uncomfortable diving head first into somewhere I haven't been to without going through the above steps first.

I check if I've turned off the electric heater even though I didn't turn it on about 4 times.

Must use the same bowl and mug every morning for breakfast & coffee... separate them from the rest of the kitchenware so my housemates don't use them

I have to give my other half an even number of orgasms.

That's OCD? Sounds like pretty normal behaviour to me.

Zero?

Still like to use cash and always turn the notes in my wallet so they are all the same way around and have to have them in order 5's 10's 20's and 50's - if I have any.

If I have to turn 360° for anything, say for example, I swivel full circle in an office chair, I have to turn 360° back the other direction to get back to the "start" again.

Weird, yea I know.

If I use the iron before I go out I have to check it about half a dozen times and say to myself "THE IRON IS OFF". Have to have the volume on the tv, car radio etc set to an even number, Check the front door is locked tons of times before I leave, wont put petrol in the car until I have checked loads of times that I have cash/cards. When writing out a birthday card I have to check that I put the right name on the card loads of times before I seal the envelope.

Yip,I have this checking OCD also. Everything is checked.

I'd love to know where the volume being set to an even number thing comes from, have heard lots and lots of people doing this, it seems really common.

I get a bit weird about electric devices being plugged in if I'm going away for a holiday. In the past I used to go around the house plugging everything out, but then one day it occurred to me that by plugging stuff out I'm actually causing wear to plugs/sockets, perhaps making them even more dangerous (!).

So now I just go around switching all the sockets off.

Hmmmmm LOL I have to do that. TV is always on number 12 for volume. 11 or 13 would just be wrong.

I'm very particular about how bread/toast is buttered and I also have a set way of how I make a cup of tea.

And another one! 😁 I wonder are there any people out there who have to have the TV on an odd number for volume rather than even… are they the real freaks perhaps?

My wife is like this. The butter has to be spread completely evenly and cover all of the toast.

I do the exact opposite and leave massive clumps of butter all over the toast. Massive spots with no butter at all. It drives her absolutely insane.

I have to take my clothes off before I iron them.

If I travel up a hill, to get back to where I started, I have to travel back down a hill. Doesn't necessarily have to be the same hill.

I follow every inhalation with an exhalation. Religiously, even when I'm asleep.

If my heart doesn't beat at least once a minute, I feel like I'll actually die.

Does anyone ever go into a checking loop where you've to check the item again in case it fell out of your bag during your last check?

Or just fixing dogs' ears.
