in the mornings or when i,am putting my socks on i put on the left sock then the right sock. left boot right boot. tie the left then tie the right.
another thing i do is if i'am getting gas the amount has to be at a hole doller amount

WOW...you guys are weird
Yeh yeh, I know I haven't been here in a while but I figured this is a great thread to jump in on. Here goes:
I count everything and I mean everything. Telephone poles, floors in a building, beer bottles on the counter, buttons or ***** on eveything, hell I even count the lug nuts on my truck and guess what? Theres still 6 of them bastards there everytime I get in. I think i'm Rainman.
Alarm clock...check it everynight and make sure its set right.
Keys on my key ring...all the teeth have to face the same way.
Cell phone and paper money ( folded exactly in half ) go in the front left pocket. Keys and change in the front right and my wallet goes in my right pant leg pocket. Nothing ever goes in my back pockets.
All my TV and Stereo remotes have to be lined up in size order on the table when not in use.
Everything must be neat and in some sort of order, flush to one side, even..etc.
Shirts on a hanger..the front has to be to the left
When I get out of my truck...EVERYTIME..the vents are all straight and tilted open the exact same amount ( I use my fingers to gauge the opening) Heat and AC controls ar all facing straight up.
I can't have anything laying on my seats or loose in the cup holders when I drive.
I guess I should stop there before you all think I'm some sort of freak. Plus its getting late,I need to check my alarm clock, fix the remotes, count the keys on my keyboard and try to get some sleep so I can get up and count the lugs on my truck in the morning before I drive to work and count all the god damn telephone poles from here to my shop..holy crap I need help.

I dont keep it, if on the rare occasin I use cash and get change, as soon as I get in the truck I empty it into a cup holder, then later bring it into the house and drop it in the change basket where it sits and tarnishes.

My keyring: keys are in oder from largest to smallest with the notches all facing the same way.
My closet: short sleeve shirts on the left side facing the left. All my t-shirts are in a group, all my button downs are grouped, all my "polol" type shirts are grouped together. Long sleeve shirts, coats, anyting else for cool weather on the right side, again all facing left.
My dresser: all my socks are paired together - I hate hunting for a mate to my sock. All my socks are on the right side, boxers on the left side. Sweaters all folded the same way and stacked the same way. My shorts and jeans drawers - stacked in an alternating pattern. I put the first one in & the waist in on the left, the next one the waist is on the right, so on & so on.

I think all I need to say is that I spend most of my time on the 'detailing' part of this forum. Other than that, all of the above and then some. A few examples follow:
-Floormats must be straight
-EVERYTHING in the truck/toolbox has a place...DON'T TOUCH!
-Keep your greasy hands off my doors. That's what the handles are for.
-Gotta spin the locking gas cap to make sure it locked.
-Tire pressure must be set to my exact #'s each week. It's changed if I go offroading, etc.
-A/C never used--Always MAX A/C. Somehow, I think it works better...
-Way more, but I don't want to feel insane...
Wow. That feels better. Group therapy really helps.

I dont understand being that lazy, if you are that close why not hang it up where it goes? I can understand clothes hanging in the laundry room and not having time to out them away... but if you carry it that far....

Ditto.

Wow you guys seem pretty tame, not sure if I should even post.....
I find myself becoming more and more too detail oriented.... example putting away t-shirts gotta be color coded, slot for red/orange, another for green/blue, another for whites and another for greys only for the kids stuff... then the shoes must be dress right dress by the front door..... and I always lay my stuff out on my desk the same every morning... palm pilot upper left corner, note pad upper right, highlighter and pen centered all above the calendar or chart... hmmmm

I don't know about anyone else (I kinda just skimmed through), but the seatbelts in my truck have to be straight and even with the clip resting on the button. Doesn't matter if I'm driving in it or getting out. I like all the seatbelts looking nice.
I have my keys in left front pocket, phone in right front, knife in back left, and wallet in back right.
When parking i must alway back into the spot or drive through one spot to get to the next so that the front of the truck is always pointing out.
Another OCD i have is i can't ever buy the first of anything on the shelf. I always feel the need to the grab the 2nd or 3rd one in. But oddly this does exclude most food from a gorcery store but i have done this with big packs of candy or sometimes bags of chips.
The last one i can think of is when it rains i must have my windshield wipers turned on. Even if its a mist, the slightest amount of water sitting on my windows just bugs the hell out of me. I could have mud piled on them from off roading and that doesnt bother me at all.
These were the ones that came to mind right now. I probably have a few more though.

I almost always get the 2nd or 3rd item of the shelf esp when grocery shopping...
I cannot stand my bedroom door being open. Sometimes when leaving the house I actually have to go back to my room to make sure the door is shut all the way. If I'm laying in bed and somebody (sisters or parents) comes in my room, after they leave I'll have to walk over to the door to make sure it's shut all the way. It has to be closed until I hear the "click" of the latch popping back out to hold the door shut.
Eh, I'm cringing right now thinking that my door may be open at home...

Where I think the exact middle is, I'll "land" with a corresponding closing of my jaw. Like I'm taking a bite but nothing is there. Been like that for as long as I can remember.
