Odd OCD... Paranoia... and Phobias...

[Emo EMAW]

every time i run the garbage disposal, I check to make sure my wedding/engagement rings are still on my finger. Like I get super paranoid about it and kind of hold on to it with my thumbnail even though it would never fall off...and the drain is covered...

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.

I do the opposite, whenever I'm with my SO and we're walking over a grate, I like to dangle the keys and watch the wrinkles set deeper into her face.

You're a goddamned monster, that's what you are.

I will get my comeuppance one of these times... Don't worry.

If I ever do something even out of a little place of evil I get it back right rough ridin' then.  Karma accepts my need for instant gratification.

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).

4 doesn't seem very lucky.  That was Lou Gehrig's number.  Have fun dying from Lou Gehrig's Disease.

My bad, that was a little mean.  Obvs don't want you to get Lou Gehrig's Disease or anything else so horrible they name it after you.

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.

The guy got a disease named after him.  How is that not somehow lucky?

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 mean, there was plenty of info on ALS in medical literature before Lou Gehrig...

i have this weird personal thing where i never use the AUTO temperature setting in my car. like, in my head if i set it to AUTO it's just going to go bat crap crazy and not have a consistent stream of air.

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

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.

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.  )

[slobber]

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. 

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!
