My grandsons have got me 'hooked' on watching 'The Big Bang Theory" every night.
While Sheldon is hilarious, I see a lot of my 'quirks' in his acting. Here are some of my OCD symptoms:
1. "That's my spot" - I would get upset when someone parked in "my" parking space at work. Don't they notice that I park in the same place everyday? I can remember getting upset when someone was in 'my spot' in the canteen. I sat at the same table and in the same chair everyday! Don't rock my boat or move my cheese!
2. I have a routine that I follow everyday and if something or somebody upsets my routine, it will throw me off the rest of the day. Don't rock the boat or move my cheese!
3. I don't count the number of steps it takes to get from A to B, but I try to get from A to B the same way everyday.
4. Inanimate objects do have feelings! If I add more eggs to the tray, I must use the 'old' egg first or I will hurt it's feelings. Eggs have feelings, you know?
5. I MUST stop at a yard sale whenever I see one or it will literally make my heart race! I love yard sales and the thrill of finding a bargain. When we went to the beach a couple of years ago, I could spot a yard sale sign yards ahead and would tense up whenever Justin did not stop! I could have been missing the greatest bargain ever!
6. My yard sale finds sometimes pile up but they are not like the ones on TV. I eventually get rid of some of them, but it is hard.
These are just a few of my OCD and hoarding tendencies, but I am sure I have more. Don't we all? What are yours?
