I was using the restroom at The Peanut the other night. They had the air dryers and not paper towels for drying. Guy finishes up his biz as I am walking in. I finish and he is blow drying. I am washing my hands and notice him looking at the door and then looking around the room and making some weird whimpering noise holding his hands up in front of him like he's just scrubbed up for surgery. The door is a pull to open and I realize he's waiting for it to open and doesn't want to touch it. As I'm drying my hands he makes a couple of feeble attempts to open the door with his elbows to no avail. I realize unless someone comes in before i'm done I'm going to have to open the door. This normally would be no problem for me but now knowing that the thought of touching that bacteria ridden handle sickens him and that if I touch it I will in his mind be a disgusting human being and a lesser person in his mind by doing so. Before I reach for the door I make eye contact and see what can only be described as terror. He's in his own little hell. I quickly grab for the handle and open it for him. He springs out of the room like a wild animal uncaged without as much as a thank you.
I go back to my table... slightly confused and disturbed but soon am back to myself sipping a Guinness and picking up wings with my diseased hands feeling somewhat sorry for this man.
People are weird.

god, i'm so rough ridin' weird, but i'm super glad i don't have a germ thing

This x1000
-
It bothers me a lot when people walk on the left or go through the left door on entrances with two doors. Not scared just uncomfortable.
-
If someone doesn't organize their computer files, desk top, drawers, clothes in a somewhat efficient manner I also get very uncomfortable.
-
I do some small things that I think is just cleaner. If I can't do them, I don't freak out. One thing I do- at restaurants, I try not to put my silverware on the table. I'll put them on my plate or keep them in my napkin. If I can't do it, whatever.
Agree with sd on the door thing.
-
I hate touching wigs. It might be considered a phobia.
-
1. Making sure doors are locked
2. Making sure the stove & oven are both off
3. Making sure none of the faucets are running
I am super OCD about those 3 things. I am getting better on #1 but 2 and 3 are still bad. I almost qualify for an MTV true life episode.

I think those are things all people who don't get robbed, don't die in a fire, and don't flood their house do. You're normal.
-
I cant handle any thing that has to do with cuts/surgery/open wounds/bones sticking out of legs/etc etc etc.
Like a scalpel cutting the skin terrifies me. If I watch it I feel like fainting/puking.

I'm not referring to checking that your stove is off before you leave, I am talking uncontrollable OCD levels.
-
I never lock my doors, like ever
-
I never lock my doors, like ever
me either. I want to get to judge some fool.
-
I wash my hands and all, but I'm not afraid of touching things in public. I look at it as free probiotics that are helping to make me stronger.
-
So you don't lock the house or car door when you leave? Because that is what I was referring to, not locking the door with me at home...
-
i always lock my car, but i literally never lock my apt door

I'm the exact same way, even listening to a detailed story without a visual usually does it to me as well.
-
I used to room with a guy on business trips that would have to open and inspect every drawer, door, curtain, anything that moved in a hotel, then look under the beds to make sure that
1) Nobody was hiding and going to jump out and get us?
2) Nothing was left behind, he freaked out one time over a wrapper and demanded we move rooms because it was not properly cleaned... The wrapper was under the wall ac unit so it was just shoved under there at some point.
It wouldn't have been a huge deal if he did this only once when we got to the room, but every time we left or came back he did this, also put up the do not disturb sign every time we left, so he knew no one would be in the room.
Made me change roomies, I like having the bed made for me...

sliced my thumb one time, and it was all bloody and stuff and i was ok with that. then i went to the sink to wash it out and saw the cut and all the gross insides and stuff and fainted immediately. 6 stitches :frown:
-
what about giving blood? usually i just look the other direction, but once i accidentally looked at the tube as the blood was spurting into it and was like the closest you can come to fainting without actually fainting.

I used to give plasma for money in college and I hated it, I couldn't watch them put the needle in.
I cant even watch people shoot up on all the drug shows.
-
I used to give plasma twice a week and I had to watch them put the needle in or I wouldn't do it, same with shots. Not every time but most times if I go into a bathroom and it has a shower curtain that is closed, I have to look behind it.
-
This is weird for me considering I don't mind touching things in public, but I can't share food.
I can make out, and do my share of oral on a special lady, but I just can't get myself to share silverware or have another's utensil swirling around in my pasta.
-
I count the number of bites I take out of almost anything and I have to eat it all in a number of bites that is a multiple of 5. It's really annoying and I've tried to think of other things to get my mind to stop counting but it rarely, if ever, works.
-
I used to be afraid of evil spirits, but then I realized if I ever saw one, I would immediately become all like #TeamGod and it would backfire on them. This is why the devil just hides in stuff like weed and ecigs.
-
I love you weirdos, and not in a paranoid or OCD way. :love:
-
I have a weird thing where my vodka and club soda needs to be full. If I ever find that it's not, I have to drink it and fill it back up again.

you know when you spit out a loogie or whatever, but you are having an unusually viscous day and the spit string trails from your mouth to the destination? of course you do. i realized recently that i am always terrifed that germs or other gross things will transmit instantly along the spit rope into my mouth. I will realize this is happening and try really hard to blow and break the circuit before my spit touches anything, or, as a last resort, sever the connection with a quick swipe of my hand.
-
Cant stand when someone picks their nails with another nail. The sound is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
-
I really don't want to crap/piss my pants on a plane. I get super paranoid that I will suddenly have to go to the bathroom and I won't be allowed to.
-
I don't like the residual warmth left by another person on an object like a theater chair, office chair, bench, toilet, bed, pillow, couch, etc.
-
I always make sure whenever I leave for somewhere, home, work, wherever, that i have my wallet, keys and phone. I do this mental checklist each morning which includes these things, as well as brushing my teeth, putting on deoderant, wearing a belt. I do this once I've got them all I know I'm good to go. It's annoying to do, makes me feel weird that i do this, but i guess I never forget to put on a belt this way, IDK.
Welp, getting ready to leave work, better make sure I still have my wallet and keys.
-

Yeah, this is a good one.
-
I've got bad anxiety, but like it's extremely worse when i'm hungover. I'll be like shaky and i'm over reactive to traffic and other things.
-
My last job also gave me a phobia with public speaking.
-
People that chew loud freak me the eff out. I hate it and will stop eating because of them and finish my food somewhere else
-
i assume people that like me are just pretending

all public speaking phobias come from a traumatic depansting experience.

If I have a string of posts that go completely unacknowledged I sometimes wonder if there has been some sort of understanding that I'm being phased out here by unanimous group cold shouldering and I wasn't told or I wonder if somehow my posts have been hidden and I wasn't told.
-
we've discussed existential angst before in a similar thread... it's the dread or anxiety that arises in moments where you realize that nothing is preventing you from jumping off a ledge or driving into oncoming traffic or doing some other terrible thing. it's not necessarily related to sadness, it just is what it is.
anyway, i was very hungover and driving on the interstate last weekend when i passed a ton of motorcycles. i just KNEW that i was going to slam on the brakes or swerve into these guys at any moment. the fear consumed me during the entire pass, my feeble brain was utterly helpless to console itself. afterward, i had to laugh at how hard i was breathing after the 30-second episode. but it really ruined my day.

there definitely is a good poster paradox. don't want to interrupt the flow of a good poster(s) to say "haha" or "very smart. i agree."
-
I often fear that Mr. Bread died. Sometimes he doesn't post for days and then he'll come post nonchalantly for a day or two and this disappear again. If he did die, none of us would ever know because no one knows his real name (I don't think).
-

Not sure. I never use to be this way until the last year. I get really hot, shakey, and mumble a bit. Working around CEO's and Presidents everyday kind of knocked me down a peg.

dlew does. we would be able to send flowers if bread died.

if i'm walking alongside someone and i notice that our steps synchronize...oh man queue the internal meltdown.

I walk across a elevated indoor walkway at work coming back from getting coffee or whatever and when I'm hungover I feel like I'm going to be compelled to jump out on the beam and walk it even though it's probably impossible. And if I did, it definitely wouldn't kill me, just bust me up but what if I just do it!?
-
oh here's a weird one...if ever i'm using a port-o-potty, I cannot help but play out in my mind the fear of falling in. I'm not actually afraid I'm going to fall in -- mostly because I only pee in those things (standards, etc.) -- but even still i can't not play out that whole terrorizing scenario in my mind.
-

when i see something sharp, i mentally play out accidentally slashing my wrists on it and bleeding out before help can arrive. i think it's because around 10th grade a teacher told the class about a kid that cut his wrist on a locker and filled the floor with blood before someone could help him (think he lived tho).
-
Sometimes when I greet people, I mentally play out what it would be like if I murdered them and cuddled with their still-dying unconscious bodies. Especially when I'm hungover.
-
For the second consecutive semester, I've been unable to sleep the night before my toughest final.
Laying in bed trying to go to sleep when you need to HURRY UP AND GO TO SLEEP is the worst. I even took two benadryls last night.

crap. i bet the next time this happens and you REALLY don't want to do it you will actually do it. that's the way these things work.

Oh, around hard surfaces like countertops I always imagine slipping so that the full force of my fall is applied to my chin hitting the countertop and all my teeth shatter against each other.

Maybe throw a link in there if I die prematurely so that my heirs may know me.

Of course. You don't get as close as Bread and I got last summer, taking in Chiefs games and hittin' Cruizens non-stop to scope the Bradley tale and not learn eachothers names.
-
I think this falls under OCD. I tap my fingers alot. I've tapped then in the same pattern since I was 7. Once I start I have to finish. I probably do this 50 times a day. By my estimation, given 50 times per day, I've done it over 400,000 times in my life.
-

I mean the times we had. You remember that one time we did that stuff and then those guys were all WTF and we're like gE.com inside joke bros do you even and then they just looked at each other and you landed the prettiest gal in the place and I went home to my wife? Classic us. I mean we were pretty wasted, but it just came together perfectly as it was wont to do.

I sincerely believe 4 is the perfect number.

Sometimes I think of something very funny or witty to post, but then I am afraid everyone will think it is stupid so I don't post it. And then someone else posts exactly what I was thinking and everyone says "Great post" to them. :frown:

yes, unless i've had some drinks, then 4/5 pass the test.

I hate when I'm driving along and realize that I've been following the same car for more than 3 turns. Then I start wondering if they're freaking out thinking that I'm following them, and they're taking random turns, which just happen to be the turns I want to take.
Yet I never notice if a car follows me for any amount of time.

When there are 2 light switches for one light in the same room, and I flip one "down" to turn on said light, I have to find the other switch and put it in the "up" position for the light to be on or else...
Also, I change my handwriting constantly because I think someone will find it and laugh at the way I write certain letters. :sdeek:

Oh man, if I'm walking over a grate or something like that I put my hands over my pockets lest my wallet or keys get the urge to make a run for it and fall into some place from where they couldn't be recovered.

When there is a task, such as drinking from a water fountain, where the number of repeated actions (gulps, in this case) is arbitrary, I always choose a particular number for a particular reason. Every number from 1 - 15 has a specific association for me, so I will choose it based on what kind of juju I think is required. For example, the number 5 represents humanity to me, 6 the devil, 7 God, etc.
Also, whoever said 4 is the perfect number, 4 is one of my lucky numbers (was my soccer number as a youth).

some food related ones:
-that water in the sour cream when you open the tub? Gross, don't stir that back in, pour that poison death water out and pretend you never saw that.
-shaking the ketchup and mustard bottles excessively (if i'm the first to use them) because i really want to avoid that watery nonsense.
-sandwich bread/buns getting even remotely soggy.
-i don't eat the center of grilled cheese sandwiches because one time i had one that was just way too cheesy and all the excess cheese when it melted sorta migrated to the center.
-no matter how delicious it looks, i will not order a burger/sandwich that has a high probability of falling apart when i'm trying to eat it. Its like, if i wanted to use a fork and knife, I wouldn't have ordered a sandwich. good grief.
damn, this thread is cathartic. feels good.

Is this sustainable? How many times can you pour out the juice that has condensed out of your sour cream until you are left with sour paste and finally sour dust?

I use the A/C as sparingly as I can because it might cost me like 12 cents per tank of gas. It really is a sickness.

I used to room with a guy on business trips that would have to open and inspect every drawer, door, curtain, anything that moved in a hotel, then look under the beds to make sure that
1) Nobody was hiding and going to jump out and get us?
2) Nothing was left behind, he freaked out one time over a wrapper and demanded we move rooms because it was not properly cleaned... The wrapper was under the wall ac unit so it was just shoved under there at some point.
It wouldn't have been a huge deal if he did this only once when we got to the room, but every time we left or came back he did this, also put up the do not disturb sign every time we left, so he knew no one would be in the room.
Made me change roomies, I like having the bed made for me...
Rooming with someone on a business trip sounds terrible. Glad we don't do that crap

some food related ones:
-that water in the sour cream when you open the tub? Gross, don't stir that back in, pour that poison death water out and pretend you never saw that.
-shaking the ketchup and mustard bottles excessively (if i'm the first to use them) because i really want to avoid that watery nonsense.
-sandwich bread/buns getting even remotely soggy.
-i don't eat the center of grilled cheese sandwiches because one time i had one that was just way too cheesy and all the excess cheese when it melted sorta migrated to the center.
-no matter how delicious it looks, i will not order a burger/sandwich that has a high probability of falling apart when i'm trying to eat it. Its like, if i wanted to use a fork and knife, I wouldn't have ordered a sandwich. good grief.
damn, this thread is cathartic. feels good.
how are you even alive
xanex and whiskey, mostly.
Also, if you use the SC enough times for it to turn to dust due to continual pouring of condensed liquid then either a) you have an industrial sized tub of SC that was probably intended for restaurant volume usage or b) that stuff has been in the fridge way too long.

Exactly.

I never take ibuprofen or Tylenol if I'm sore or something hurts, I feel like it will only make it worse/I'll have to take more the next time something hurts.

If I have a string of posts that go completely unacknowledged I sometimes wonder if there has been some sort of understanding that I'm being phased out here by unanimous group cold shouldering and I wasn't told or I wonder if somehow my posts have been hidden and I wasn't told.
I totally have this.
(I'll bet nobody responds to this or maybe nobody can even read this. I'll bet sd has tired of my shtick and just blocks all of my posts in every thread. :ohno:)

Sometimes I think of something very funny or witty to post, but then I am afraid everyone will think it is stupid so I don't post it. And then someone else posts exactly what I was thinking and everyone says "Great post" to them. :frown:
for every post I post, I have probably typed out and deleted 5 other posts that I didn't think were up to snuff
Then you have more posts than sd! :cheers:

I have a few obsessions, And I have gotten over some of my worst but:
I get extremely anxious if I go anywhere with eye height cardboard. Its a horrible fear (I think its completely rational), Just typing about it is making me sick to my stomach.
Wash my hands probably 25-30 times a day, I cant eat if I don't wash my hands even if I just washed them minutes ago.
I wont touch my phone if I haven't washed my hands recently.
But I used to have to check all the door locks before I was comfortable in the house, even during the day the doors needed locked.

I wash my hands before going to the bathroom so I don't contaminate my sacred relics
