Observing OCD

I volunteered to answer the phones at our office today since just about everyone else was helping at a community event. Sooo, here's a little bit of how I spent my afternoon.

i diagnosed with ADD... we are really opposite... im so clutter and disorganize most of the time. :<

[biblegirl7]

I can get that way. Actually, my home office is that way a lot. But that's because I have so much stuff that is constantly coming in, I don't have time to organize it all! And I drives me nuts to see it, so I end up just stacking it until I have time to file and organize everything. But even the pile of undone stuff will bug the crap out of me!

OMG, I have the same thing. I can't stop rearranging my room. As for other things (checking, cleaning, etc), it's not as bad. But my rearranging habits get out of hand sometimes. My neighbor kicked me out of his house once because I couldn't leave his vases alone. I felt so bad. He sneered at me and called me "Monk". But then he apologized later and said he lost his temper.

I was trying to make sure the room was symmetrical. lol But I can't believe your neighbor got that upset. Geez. How many times did you move his vases? =O

[Abbyy0Normal]

I did it at least 4 times while he was talking to me. As I started the 5th time, he was like "That's enough!". But like I said, he apologized later. Nowadays, I have to deal with my coworkers. Half of them leave me alone, the other half intentionally misplace things so they can see me panic. Sigh. I guess there will always be a-holes.

[biblegirl7]

I would have probably moved you away from the vase. lol. Watching that would have gotten ME anxious =/ But I know what you mean about things being in a specific spot. I used to be obsessed about it! Now I'm only like that about a few things. As I've gotten older, I don't seem to care as much. BUT, I HATE it when people don't put things back where they belong! Everything has a place. I expect to find it there when I want it O.o ... LOL
