Not the best thing to do on a slippery surface one thinks!!


@Killerzzz you complete and utter freak!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />...Just kidding, as i'm sure you would have guessed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

@Egin, [color:"yellow"] Clean !...Exercise!! [/color] have you lost your mind <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/question.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />
.
As for this mornings shower, i lost my patience and ended up quickly pushing all the bubbles up to the end of the shower where the water lands with my feet, to extinguish the life from the blighters, Mwah-ha-ha-ha <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

somebody's going to have a straightjacket for his birthday if he keeps bursting bubbles. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Omg, exercise to: re-direct your attention from those bubbles, not to clean them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

janggut thank you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I really got rid of some, yes.

Exercise and me just don't mix, it's like oil and water, mate. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

In this case, as Bean suggested - holy water should do <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

I knew I was a freak. You said it already, you can't take it back with a 'Just Kidding'. It's all out in the open.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

And has anyone noticed this obsession of mine that is only for this forum site?

In every post I must have at least one emotion. I'm not just talking by habit, I'll really put one after I'm done if I haven't yet. Not too obsessive but its there.

I do this too sometimes, I allso avoid the spaces between the tiles. This comes from my childhood <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

@ Spick: Why? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

I do something similar to avoiding cracks in tiles. On patterned floors, I always make sure I walk an even amount of steps with each foot on each color of tile. No half-halfs are allowed for me.

And, believe it or not, I can actually feel when I don't step according to my little pattern, even if I'm not looking. For example, if I step on the seperation between blue tiles and red tiles, one half of my foot will feel uncomfortable. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Hows that for obsessive and weird? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Killerzzz

Every time I leave home, I feel I have forgotten something.






And most of the time it is true <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

Hehehe I love that too. The best is with the toes... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />


Yeah, its a lot about training and self control, conciousness. We can get rid of a lot of reflexes and instincts like that; even increase a lot our endurance to pain. One interesting experience is when it's itching somewhere; when we focus on the senstion, concentrate in understanding, defining it (stopping to think about getting rid of it by scratching), it stops to be bothersome (even after we stopped to concentrate on it!). The same thing works with pain too (but personally, if I see the injury, it most always fails; so I have to avoid seeing it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />).

OCDs... The girl has some; mostly post traumatic ones. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
That comes from a period where I was hospitalized. The most particular is about morning time: I do NOT want to take any phonecall neither recieve any people before at least a couple hours after waking up. I also developped an allergy to extroverted people and to the question "How are you?" in the morning (before I finished my coffee, I don't go fine or wrong yet; it's at that point that it's deciding). In hospitals, too much people don't bother themselves with some aspects of respect that we take for granted in everyday life; not announcing themselves before entering our private space, coming at any time no matter what you're doing and how/if you're dressed (and there is a LOT of people passing by, night and day as well), etc... Another one is a bit similar to Spick's; except that for me it's about toilets. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> It's unbelievable how much some hospital personnel don't bother about getting rid of people's "fluids"... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> For me a toilet has to be clean & clear when I leave it; I'll flush & wash as long as it'll be stained or messy. People letting dirty toilets make me angry and I hate toilets with quite no pressure when we flush them... I think it's a bit like people who starved during some long period of time and are getting mad about spoiling food; some are even not able to go to restaurants because of that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
These are the biggest ones, I think; I'm slowly getting less sensible to it though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I don't know if this qualifies as an OCD:

Today I was standing in a line at EBGames waiting to buy Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
The salesman approached me and asked if I want the collector's edition. I asked if there was anything special about it and he replied that no, only the cover is different. When asked about the price difference, he answered it was 5 dollars. I laughed inside thinking that only a complete moron, a desperate Splinter Cell fanboy would pay 5 bucks for a different cover. At the same time, I said that I do want the collector's edition. There was alot of noise in the store so he probably didn't hear me and I ended up paying for the reg edition. I felt disappointed eventhough I knew it was the right thing and thanked God I didn't buy the CE.

Sometimes I just don't understand myself.

Hope you didn't forget your wallet before going to the store Baz!! (noted from your previous post) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I didn't. But I felt like I did <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

The funny thing about you is that you sometimes own yourself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />! Take it as a compliment, please, I know what you're like when you're irritated <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />...

when drinking beer, while seated I always have to face the logo on the glass towards me, I will turn it around before taking a sip.

The moral of the story? We're all nutcases, I mean how else would you explain the unholy popularity of the Island For The Mentally Ill! thread?

u've got it wrong, Dev. we're the sane ones. it's those crazies out there whom we should be careful with. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I dont suffer from insanity!!!!!!!!

(I enjoy every single MOMENT OF IT!!!!!!)
