odd socks when i played rugby i refused to play one day as the boss insisted that i wore the team socks so i refused got dropped for a week till they gave up realising i would not back down

Every house it renovate will always have a mains fitted smoke alarm on every floor and if im working in a customers house i check their smoke detectors and change the batteries if needed and fit them if they dont have them dont know why as never had a problem with fires but its a protection thing

According to many of my customers I have some serious OCDs. One customer went as far as to suggest that I must be a nightmare to live with due to my obsession with symmetry, that was after I offered to adjust the cistern on her close coupled loo by 2mm 'cos it was off centre and winding me up :lol:.

2mm!!! You get the gold OCD award! Speech expected! :)

Consciously if you asked me; I'd say I not only don't be believe in superstition, I detest those that encourage it. I hate "ghost hunter" thing on TV and those robbing gits that say they can speak to the dead. It's criminal that is.

However subconsciously you could perhaps say, I find myself checking the iron is definitely off, when not only do I switch it off at the plug, I pull the plug out and leave it in the same place time after time so that when I go in the room I see the plug without leaning over the set of draws where the plug socket is - to save time OCDing the plug I wonder? lol - I also seem to line things up at a dinner table the the mm, forks, knives, no mater how many (even 'posh' restaurants I do it with ALL the forks lol).

So perhaps I have a touch of OCD. :lol:

However subconsciously you could perhaps say, I find myself checking the orin is definitely off, when not only do I switch it off at the plug, I pull the pug out and leave it in the same place time after time so that when I go in the room I see the plug without leaning over the set of draws where the plug socket is - to save time OCDing the plug I wonder? lol - I also seem to line things up at a dinner table the the mm, forks, knives, no mater how many (even 'posh' restaurants I do it with ALL the forks lol).

you just reminded me why I DON'T have OCD... my Dad, if we didn't lay the table with the knives and forks one centimeter off the table edge, there would be trouble... for a while we had to sit with matchboxes under our armpits while eating, if they fell because we stuck the elbows out, smack... OCD is not for me!!
