Not mocking your affliction, but I like the idea of a The Mangler-style washing machine that nicks your stuff if you leave it plugged in while you're out. Does anything ever actually go missing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) After washing hair, I leave the shampoo on for exactly one minute, before rinsing, timed on my Omega Speedmaster, or other quality timepiece.* *The watch is on a shelf, not worn in shower. Thank you. Edited December 7, 2022 by Bigmouth Strikes Again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Probably not OCD, but I'll get the occasional bizarre urge to do something random like lift something for the sake of it, and I'll get mildly unsettled until I do it and sit back down again. Intrusive thoughts such as considering throwing your phone in the toilet for the sake of it are a completely different kettle of fish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 The air vents in my car. Specifically the two central ones - I need to have them set at the same ‘level’ so that the vent slats line up with each other. The air vents at the doors? Couldn’t care less. Point them up and to the left or right towards the doors? Fine. Have one up, one down, one open, one closed? Fine. However, the two in the middle - got to be perfectly lined up, or I get beads of sweat running down the crack of my arse. I’m thinking of super-glueing the fcukers into a perfectly lined-up central position so the slats can never deviate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) I’m getting worse when I set my alarm on my phone. When I swipe away I convince myself that I have deactivated the alarm when closing it and then pull it up to check. I then repeat this step up to fifteen times despite never having accidentally done this and I never sleep in.

You can’t know it’s the machine part of the process that’s causing the issue. You’ll need a comprehensive audit trail of movements from leaving your feet through to arriving in the drawer. This sort of thing is usually down to crows taking them off the line to use as nesting material. But you need the evidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sock manufacturers use different dyes for the left socks and the right socks so matching socks eventually stop matching and you have to go and buy new ones.

Richey Edwards Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 I only wear black socks, which eliminates the need to match them up and lessens the pain of losing one to the waves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
