Obsessive - Compulsive?
« on: October 10, 2007, 05:45:58 PM »
May not be what i have but heres a rundown of a few of my oddities that I have been wondering about


I cook something and the directions say 1/2 cup water. To get the 1/2 cup water, I will stay at the faucet and just look at the measuring thing to make sure I have exactly 1/2.  If it looks too much, i'll take out a few drops. If its short, I'll add a few. I will do this until it looks to be exactly 1/2.

Same for painting using a paint tray. Me and another guy was out painting propane tanks and I paint the tank bodies themselves. I just HAVE to have the perfect amount of paint in the tray. I'll make sure it isnt too much or too little. If anything I measure in liquids is too little or too much, I have to make it correct or it just bugs the tar out of me until I fix it.


It works for dry items also.

At work I needed to mix up eight 5 gallon buckets of 50/50 0-0-60 Potash and 18-46-0 DAP.  there wasnt enough of it to throw into a blender, I just dumped it into a pile in a bin and mixed it together by hand.  I know how it looks when its mixed good, so here I am with a shovel mixing it up. A pile of about 100 pounds worth and it looks like it needs more phosphate. So I will take my shovel and get about two pounds of it to mix together (note, 100 pound pile).  


Then I just stand/sit there and watch it while thinking if its enough or not.

have you adjusted for the change in volume due to temperature change?

It sounds like a direct result of not eating sausage pizza.

Crap....

Why does the word "Flying" have to be on top of the word "Monkeys"?.

Man.... I didn't need this.

I love Monk. He's so hilarious.  Anyhow, everyone has their little peeves. Nothing wrong with that.

all my keys on my key chain MUST have the teeth facing the same way IE: when you hold all the keys themselves the flat edges are all together.

also they must be in this order:

Car Ignition
Car Door (if there is one)
Apartment front door
Apartment Door
Step-Father's Door
Best Friends door

NO other keys on my main key chain. I keep all other on a separate ring in my car for when I may need them.





I compulsively need to clear my throat, and clear my tongue. I feel like there is a spiderweb in my mouth some times and must "spittle" blowing air out of my mouth to get rid of it.



all of my MP3's MUST be named in the following convention: Artist - Song Title with the single spaces either side of the - and proper capitalization of each word. I can NOT have a "The" capitalized unless it is the first word of a title.


My DVD's are organized by genera, then same actor/actress, then chronological IE: in the general comedy section: Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy...



All of my blankets have a designated "foot" end and "head" end.


thats about it for now.

You are not O-C.  

If you were, you would have had to rewrite the the "Me and another guy was out painting" as "Another guy and I were out painting"

Really anything else dont bother me much


Just when it comes to measuring and guessing how much or little the volume of something is like I stated above, then it gets to me.


It definately..definately..DEFIN ATELY gets to me

Meat, you just need to watch a few episodes of Justin Wilson's Cajun Cookin'. He will either drive you past the brink of sanity or you will learn to embrace the hand measured teaspoon, Grasshopper.

This is your first lesson, Cajun Gumbo.

I used to work with a chick who was a tidyness freak. We shared an office and I took great pleasure at throwing screwed up bits of paper on the floor beside her :D
