ive always done things like straighten the tv on the stand and other shit that is on a counter or something has to be in a straight line to something...and i lock every door behind me when i go into a room... no biggie... but tonight i realized, after i got a really weird stare from some old hag, that i never take the product that first in line at the store shelf... i moved a few milk containers to get to one, went to the 3rd row and bottom of the pile for a package of lean hamburger, i moved a few boxes of wheat crackers out of the way to get the 3rd or 4th one in line...same with bread...etc ... i think ive always done this and just sort of realized it... i guess i figure every asshole with dirty hands has touched the 1st one staring right at them, so i dont want that one :dunno:
 
I do that too. They stock/rotate so the oldest stuff is in the front. The stuff with the dates farther out are in the back. I don't know that that is OCD as much as just being smart.

Why do you lock every door behind you?
 
I also pick product from behind the front line.

Big pet peeve of mine is people who leave the protective plastic film on their electronic devices and other assorted products. My ex's parents left it on their fucking TV - it was peeling from all four corners and yet they were adamant about leaving it on. It turned into an actual argument at one point when I walked up to it and start pulling on a corner.

Months later, it came back on the topic and the Mom wondered out loud:

Maybe we should remove it.

I immediately ran to the TV, ripped the fokken film triumphantly, crumpled it into a ball and put it in my pocket so they couldn't retrieve it later.

Boys I will start an argument about anything. I don't care.
 
There's also this whiteboard at work, there is a plastic film over it but the guy who's been writing on it for 2 years has never bothered to take it off. He's been writing over a plastic film for 2 years. When I brought up the fact that the whiteboard has remained unused all this time, cause he was too stupid to realize that he was writing over a plastic film meant to protect the board's surface while it sat in its packing waiting to be sold, he just shrugged.

Now, before you side with the guy, consider that using a marker to write over a plastic film is not nearly as smooth an experience as writing on an actual whiteboard. The film is starting to stretch and tear in some places, and every time he erases stuff it leaves a smudge behind. The board currently looks very messy. But it doesn't matter to him - he'd rather not write on the actual board, that's meant to be written on.

People are fokked up in the head.

I'm going to rip that thing off before the year is over.
 
Look at this thing. Just look at it. Gah!

I do the same thing Raymond except for locking doors.

Matty, that white board situation needs to be rectified. Go in and tear the plastic off of it. Take a pic os what's on it so you can write it back in.

BTW... who's the young Asian in the background?
 
Probably might surprise you but was a minor problem (my take) major problem (MrsM's take) with me awhile back but seems to have left me! And you always go with the latest date on dairy products!

Just recently had milk that went bad like a week or so before expiration date and you know why ..... my reasoning is classic case of someone at supermarket not wanting milk after putting in cart and just leaving it out on shelf! Greedy supermarket puts back in refrigerated area! Never be the same! Fukers!
 
Wow. I have never dealt with these issues and I feel for those that have them. Lock doors, I have nothing to hide. I guess I trust too much to think that anything might happen to me or my kids. I do think those little nuances you have are really nothing to worry about. If it makes you happy go for it.
 
kid44 do me a favor and go through your house - pay particular attention to screens, audiovisual equipment, remotes & picture frames. Use your thumb nail and scratch a corner. If something clear and soft starts coming off, pull on it until it's all gone. All of it.

When you have a minute.
 
Not to mention that removing the protective film is a truly pleasurable experience, viscerally.

Or, at least it is for me. Am I weird? It's so satisfying and the material underneath is so shiny and beautiful. The best it will ever be. And you get to be there to see it.
