LiAM Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I think I have grammar OCD. No matter how small an error, I always feel compelled to fix it, or if someone is close, point it out in a loud voice. I often find myself at college, scratching at tables correcting people's grammar. [i]Emmz luv's Jonn[/i] I would scratch the U into an O, then scribble at the apostrophe and add an E. Doing this has got me some enemies, because I always correct it, whether it be Facebook, MSN, in class, or even talking in person (rare though). [i]There[/i], [i]their[/i] and [i]they're[/i] are the most common thing I find correcting. I do not except any responsibility for this discussion.

Especially top right, it serves a practical use for when I click the red X in a mad rage because the internet is slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catman25 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I think I used to have a bit of ocd, I was always paranoid about germs and stuff, so I washed my hands every couple of minutes. I think that's ocd, right? Anyways, I realized it was all blasphemy anyways, and now I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 @J-Max: Mind blacking out the adult elements? (rather than normal movies... search engines can be wonderful). And yea, like multitasking... Always, I think slower when I'm doing less so it's horribly frustrating. Even though I can be overloaded it takes a while for that to happen. Also, my clothes HAVE to be Blue, no questions about that. Shoes HAVE to be white. If not I simply won't do things... And then there's the Psychological OCD, which I've explained on YCM before. Oh and everything I own has to be simplistic visually, I hate complicated looking things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to, just black bar the names lol... Though your folder file and all that is perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with a visual, but actual names to said content? =x Google LOVES specific searches.

Womi Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 It always hurts to see that I have a better spelling than many American or British people around. I have a spoon OCD.....a really bad one. When I want to have a spoon for my cornflakes or whatever, I keep checking through the knife, fork and spoon drawer until I find a spoon without any defilement; sometimes for 5 minutes.

JG. Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 My mom also tells me that I have That-Stuff-Is-Mine-OCD, because I can't take if my brothers use my stuff when I'm not there =P EDIT: I just realized that I now have over 13.000 posts. I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed, but I'm leaning to the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Duelist Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Don't worry, I do it a ton too. The teacher was writing something about parallel lines on the board and she wrote parallel "parralel". I felt an urge to go up to the board and fix it. I erased 1 R and I wrote in another L after the first L. Maybe i have OCD too AARGGHHH! No, I think OCD is a lot more serious than that and you find that you do it all the time 24/7 even in your sleep maybe.. You would definitely know if you had OCD, your doctor would notice it too...

Yang Xiao-Long Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 You know...I have CDO. It's like OCD, except the letters are in alphabetical order. But no seriously, I actually count my footsteps in multiples of 4, 5, 7, or 8. Gotten to the point that I do it without realizing it. Marching band does that to you I guess... I also open and close things repeatedly because I feel like my fingers are "trapped" inside, so I have to "undo" it by putting my fingers back in, close the object, then open the object, take fingers out, and close said object with fingers at a certain distance away. It's weird I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianKetoTheCardMaker Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Whenever I've got a stack of things (especially cards), they must be perfectly aligned, and NOTHING upside-down. Also, I don't know if this counts, but I can be a sort of Grammar Nazi sometimes.
