Me, I have to eat a sandwich by eating all of the crust 1st.

I have to record a UK game and then watch it after it's been played a while, and watch it alone. Watched two games live in '12 and they lost both games. If I have the power to take down that team, I cannot risk it....:D

Won't wear any UK stuff when I'm watching the game (weird, I know).

Left shoe 1st, then right shoe.

I am for sure. I'm OCD about double and triple checking things before I leave the house; things like make sure that all lights, devices, appliances, etc are turned off. I've even turned around after leaving for work, gone back home just to double check.

At work, before staff meetings, I'll walk down the exact same hall, use the same bathroom, etc. I've done this for years.

Won't wear any UK gear during a game unless I'm physically there. Was undecided before the UK-Wisc Final 4 game - ended up wearing a UK shirt and we all know the outcome. Never again.

Not OCD about stuff before I leave the house, but I am before I go to bed. Double/triple check the locks, the lights, thermostat, etc.

I can physically watch my garage door go down and sometimes turn back around to make sure it didn't go back up.

Walking up the stairs to my house, I always count my steps in my head.

Check the front door before I leave 2-3 times to make sure its dead bolted.

Walking on a sidewalk, I never walk on the cracks.

I have an ish ton more but these are the first that come to me.

I count my steps constantly. I don't know why, just do.

Whenever I get gas, I always try to get whole gallons exactly or whole dollars exactly, I just do it as a little challenge. I get the exact amount more often than not and when I'm off it's only by like .001

Volume in the car or on TV always has to be an even number unless its 5, 10, 15, etc. If I see the volume at 11, it eats at me and I change it to 10 or 12.

Whenever I sit down to a meal, doesn't matter where it's at, my fork is ALWAYS on the right. If not......let's just say bad things happen.
One night at the cracker barrel I dropped my fork and asked the waiter for a new one. When he brought it out he laid in on my left. Well all hell broke loose , I absolutely went ape..........before it was over the cities special response team and a hostage negotiator had to be called in.

I'm not allowed back into ANY cracker barrell ever again...........:angry:

Yeah, same with me. Early on in the relationship with my GF, she picks up the TV remote to adjust the volume, and she stopped on 17 and put the remote down. First off, I had to explain that I’ll man the remote from now on. Secondly, I asked if she was purposefully tormenting me by stopping on a prime number. Craziness! My OCD kicked in big time.

Volume must always be a multiple of 2 or 5.

When I smoked, took my smoke break at work at exactly the same time each day.

Won’t watch UK games anywhere but my house unless I attend in person. I also won’t watch with anyone other than my wife. Casual fans who want to talk during games pisses me off. Wife knows better.

I meticulously make sure anything that can burn my house down is off/unplugged before I leave every time.

Can’t watch games with other people. Like you said the woman is OK because she knows how it rolls. But a friend of mine likes Duke and wants to watch games together this year (I wonder why) and I’ve told him each time. No.

Yep.

My wife is a non-sports fan who just wants UK to win so I'll not be a dick all night, but she usually goes into other rooms or doesn't talk to me when games are on.

I had a former co-worker/buddy who used to always want to "watch some basketball" with me, but he wasn't a sports fan. Guy wouldn't shut up during the game. Non-stop jibber jabber.

I want to focus on the game - watch certain players, see what action UK/opponents are running, etc. He pulled that **** during the Iowa St. game in the 2012 tourney and I chewed him out good, as in "I don't @$%& care about whatever the hell it is you're going on about, the Cats have just blown a 9-point lead!!" Our friendship didn't last too much longer. He got fired from work and we became facebook acquaintances.

I never watch a sporting event without drinking alcoholic beverages.

Oh, also, I never take a bowel movement without using a Preparation H moist wipe afterwards.

I hate even thinking about having a nasty, dirty rectum.

A guy I work with has OCD so bad he probably needs counseling. Drives me nuts! He can't get in a hurry because he is so specific in his routine. Has to eat lunch at the same time and it's got to be hot when he eats it and exactly the way he wants it. He takes forever to prepare food. He has to have the same chair and he will check doors and windows all damn day. Exact ink pen too. It makes me a nervous wreck waiting on him to go through all these ***** routines. I think he just needs to get laid.

I've become somewhat of a germaphobe. Always getting on the kids about washing their hands after going to the bathroom, before eating, or before putting clean dishes away. They normally do, but I just like to make sure. Seems like I instantly get sick at the first sign of illness in our house and I try everything in my power to prevent it.

I keep the blinds closed when the wife isn't home. When they are closed they have to be facing up so the light that leaks through goes toward the ceiling instead of the floor. She likes opening every single one in the whole house. I prefer it to be darker and she likes it lighter. I usually tell her go outside if you want more light. Plenty of it out there.

Toilet paper has to be facing out. I eat with my right hand and drink with my left. All car accessories have to be turned off before shutting car off. I could probably come up with a ton more but will stop there.

Don't let the neckbeard asshats on Reddit find this thread. I was lectured about improperly using OCD
