Title: O.C.D.
Post by: GROWLER on February 01, 2010, 10:47:17 PM
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Do we have a growing problem developing here, or is this just a common every day occurence for everyone p'raps?
I can't actually take this too seriously tbh....yet. rubschin:

Mini Moose has got it apparently.
Caught her a few weeks ago re-tuning the tv volume onto an even number after I'd just randomly turned it up to drown out her and Mrs G's squawking.
 It HAS to be done apparently..or else. Shrugs:

Didn't think too much about it at the time, but tonight I made tea.
 Placed her plate on a tray for collection, and she picked the plate up and turned the tray 'round.
I asked why she did that, and she told me that the flower picture on the tray HAS to be facing her in the correct manner BEFORE she picks it up, or else. Shrugs:

What's going on here, or is it just a bit of a laugh?

Where does a habit finish, and OCD begin?

Like your daughter, when i put a plate or laptop on the laptray I always make sure that the tray has the picture the right way up. Similar with getting dressed, it always has to be the right trouser leg, sock, shoe on first. If I pick up the left one first, I have to put it down and get the right one. I feel that that's habit, others may say it's OCD. Or is it that we just like to give everything a name?  rubschin:

My outdoor gym, so that arguement is a non starter.
Personal targets are good for your mind and spirit anyway, idiot. ::)

It might help that ruddy great paunch of yours if you did a bit more excercise other than the one you appear to do regulary lying on yer back like.  ::)

Hard to say where habit stops and OCD begins. What do we make of footballers, rugby players, cricketers etc who have a ritual that they follow during preparation before each game? Is that habit, OCD or superstition?

I always carry personal items (Wallet, keys, comb, hankie, money etc) in the same pockets. No matter what trousers I put on the hankie, keys, penknife are in the right front. Wallet and comb in back right, money and nothing else in left front. Habit or OCD? I dunno ~ I have just always done it that way.

They used the sweepings to make No. 6 fags   eeek:

Man and friend are smuggling a quantity of cigarettes across the Sahara
As they trudge along leading their laden camel one of them says to the other "Stop that fvcking counting"
The other guy says "I'm not counting"
"Yes you are I can hear you"
The argument develops and in a rage the first guy pulls out his revolver and shoots his mate.
The following day he notices that he can still hear the counting "One, Two, Three, four etc"
He knows he shot his mate and left the corpse behind and he can't figure out where the sound is coming from.
Then he notices the camel's jaws moving (the way camels do) and he becomes convinced that it is the camel that is making the noise so he shoots it.
Then he has to struggle on carrying the load of cigarettes himself
On the third day he hears the counting again "One, Two, Three, Four etc"
Convinced that he is going mad he shoots himself, as he falls to the ground a pack of cigarettes drops in front of him and his last sight is of the legend "Its the Tobacco that Counts"
