HAVE to do it... Options

[Paul M. is baaac...]

Do you ever feel there is a time where something irrelevant or small is happening, yet for some reason, you HAVE to do it?

For example, many people can't tand to have books/cutlery and stuff out of order in a room. Now, I'm not THAT bad, but I've noticed that when I'm drinking stuff at the computer, I have to wait until I've stopped drinking, because I HAVE to type with both hands...yes...I'm estranged...anyway, the other thing I HAVE to do is crack my knuckles, but that's more of a habbit.

I USED to hate standing on cracks on the pavement, but not so much now, though....
I know that I don't HAVE to do these things, but I feel a strong need to do it, and if I don't, it'll just annoy me? I probably have a compulsive disorder...

Anyway, do you have anything along these lines?...

[heyyfrankie]

well, whenever i get into a car, no matter how short or long the distance is, i HAVE to wear my seat belt.

[crazeegirl411]

^That's a habit (unless you were being sarcastic).

[Paul M. is baaac...]

On a different note, why do people do "^" that instead of simply quoting the person? It saves time, effort and confusion...

[voguelove]

yes..i cant have my room messy before going to bed. ive actually tried many times to sleep while my room is messy but i just end up cleaning it before i fall asleep because it bothers me.

[*Programmer*]

have to get another job

Uhm...no it doesn't. I just have to click fast reply and type that if he's the last post.

Why would people do it if it really was harder..

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

I can't stand seeing my Manga not in Alphabetical order.... So if I have Fruits Basket collection behind the Aishiteruzu Baby collection, I WILL DIE.

[Levy2k6]

i always have to clean my hand when they start feeling slightly icky.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

i can't not wash my hands before i eat. seriously, i can't believe some people actually eat with not freshly cleansed hands...

[Smoogrish]

Haha. Having stuff lying around on my desk is one thing I have to clean up. I can't stand having a messy room.

[The_AZN_Godfathe...]

I like having the recycling bin [the computer kind] empty. So whenever I see something in it, I go straight to "empty recycling bin."

Unless there's something semi-important in there.

[_sarcastic_]

i have to make sure everything on my desk is neat if not i'll go crazy

[The_AZN_Godfathe...]

Yeah, same here. Which is why I do the recycle bin thing.

[juliar]

Agh. If I leave a cupboard door half closed, then I have to go back and push it all the way shut. Or I can't sleep.

[talcumpowder]

This gets me in trouble all the time. =X I simply have to rearrange things. When I'm browsing through books, All the #1 books go together, all the #2 books go together... And so on. Same with DVD's.
&I have to spin my locker lock once and tug the handle. Every time.

[Teesa]

I sometimes have to have my room somewhat organized before starting on my homework or going out.

[jennyjenny]

I HAVE to do my homework. I'm not one of those people who don't do their homework :-\

[NgocQuyen]

haha i have to make sure the counters and tables are CLEAR...no dishes cups, etc...lols...even if someone is still drinking something out of a cup and they leave it on the counter...i can't sleep not knowing if its in the sink or not.....

[*Azarel*]

This runs along the lines of OCD..

[jnukes]

i ALWAYS have to be specific .

if i'm cooking something in the microwave, and the package says " Ready in 5 minutes ! ", i'll put 5:06


if someone tells me to be somewhere, i'll say " okay ill be there in like ... 8 minutes "

i can never get myself to say 5 minutes, or 10 minutes

[Retrogressive]

Wow... nothing...

that's what i was thinking... that show on mtv "true life: i have ocd" or something, that's scary how people are like that.

i'm not as extreme as those people but i like to have candy in matching pairs. like 2 green skittles or 2 red m&m's. if a purple gobstopper and a green gobstopper come out of the box, i just eat them separetely. i cannot eat more than one piece of candy who's colors differ.

also, i like to flatten the back of my hand or some part of my skin on something cool whenever it's available. like the cool surface of a desk, a chair leg, or even the floor.

something that bothers me is that i like to count things...like when i was in middle school, i had these markers that came in this little pouch. 12 big markers and 14 thin ones. at the end of every session i had with them, i counted them to make sure they were all there. and, whenever i count things, i count them at least 3 times.

[whomps]

When I'm walking with just one other person, I have to stand on the left.

[Smoogrish]

Wow, that's an odd one. When I'm on the computer, I have to go to CB and stay there until 12 at night.

[EddieV]

lol I do the exact same thing.

When I see a maple tree, I always have to feel its bark

[LittleFlyingCow]

I can't ride a bike without wearing a helmet. It's not that I think I'm going to crash, or that I'm all that concerend about my safety it's just that I feel so wrong without wearing one...it's like I can feel everyone around me thinking how unresponsible I am and I'm almost afraid a police cars going to pull up and start yelling at me. But I soppose that more of a habbit.

...I do that thing where when there's a sign on the side of a side walk, like on a metal pole, I swing around it while holding on to it.

and I can't stand being in my room without having my heater on...it feels so empty without the roar of the heater...so even if I'm a fine temerature, I just turn the heat on the heater down and turn it on just for the sound of it.

I also wave to myself in mirrors when I pass them...I try hard not too because if I do it at home then I do it at school and other places, and then ppl stare but I just can't help it...waving to myself in the mirror seems like the most natural thing.

I HAVE to do my homework. I'm not one of those people who don't do their homework :-\

oh ya, I forgot about that one, but I do that too. I can't stand having undone homework, I feel so laid down or guilty or something.

[vash1530]

i always sniff my food for some reason....mayb it will save me someday...

[krispy_kreme333]

^ I do that too. If I have never had it before, I have to smell it to make sure its okay. If it smells weird then I wont eat it.

[maryissa]

I use to touch the sides of my eyes 5 times each. But that was like when i was in the 2nd grade. Weird.

My sis has to touch her earrings after she's done dressing up.

I touch the side of my lips after i eat just in case i dont have food on my face.

Oh snap. Awesome.

[symphomaniac]

One thing that I always do is count syllables. Like when I hear someone talking, for instance, and I hear them say "My dad wants to buy me a coyote." I count all of the syllables, using my fingers to keep count. And I always try to see if it comes out as a multiple of five. Like the "My dad...coyote" thing has ten syllables. It annoys me when it isn't a multiple of five.

I count the stairs I climb up.

Sometimes I just have to touch things. Like last week, we went to Chili's and my cousin ordered fajitas that come on that black skillet thingie, and they had the piece of thick cloth that covered the handle so you don't burn yourself. So this cloth was decorated with pictures of red and green chili peppers, and I just had to touch it, for some reason. Melissa kinda looked at me odd then.

Whenever I'm walking or running by myself, I almost always think of triads in my head, going up a half step each time. Like at first it would be "C-E-G" for C major, and then I'd do the minor triad, and then go to "C#-E#-G#" for C# major, and then minor, and then to D.

Sometimes I find myself continuously clicking my computer mouse, thinking "Oh, I didn't click that right, I better do it again" and then my finger's rapidly tapping against the mouse just to "tap it right."

I have to tear whatever I eat. I can't stand to bite into sandwiches, or bread, or anything else, so I tear it into pieces.


But hey, it could be worse. My friend conjugates spanish verbs when she swims laps.

If someone says a phrase I like I have to go write it down.

I cannot stand to see my music folders either disorganized or inconsistent in format.

I HAVE to cover my neck with a pillow or my blanket when in bed because I won't be able to sleep if it's exposed.
