My OCD

Thursday, December 08, 2005

oh my... Category: Life OCD. I know people have mentioned it to me before. Just yesterday even. But really? Is it because I rearrange my Top 8 friends so that my page has better symmetry? Is that wrong? Does it have something to do with my need to containerize? To do certain things 'one way'? My way? The right way? So what if I have right and left socks? I knew of one guy who numbered his socks, so right-1 and left-1 were only worn together. You know what that means? Even wear. Genius! We do it with our shoes. Nothing wrong with that, right? I saw this poor lady on Ellen whose one foot grew 2 1/2 sizes larger than the other when she got pregnant. And it didn't shrink back so she has to buy 2 different sizes of the same shoe. More ammo for the not having kids argument. But back to the subject at hand, can you imagine the discomfort in her shoes if she mixed her socks? You know what I'm talking about...when your sock bunches up in the corner and it seems like you have a rock in your shoe. That happened to me at the gym once. I think I mistook a right sock for a left and ended up wearing 2 rights. I was trying to run but my stupid sock kept bothering me. I was wiggling my toes to try to fix it, I stopped and took my shoe off to try to rearrange, but it could not be helped. I had to cut my workout short before I lost control and flung my shoes across the gym in frustration. I try not to touch money. Do you know where it's been? All those nasty people touching gross stuff, themselves, kids. Yuck. Many men don't wash their hands after using the bathroom, and many women don't either. It happened the other day at Claim Jumper. I heard her pee and leave. Sick. So my deductive reasoning tells me that at least half the money out there has been in the hands or one of these pee and leave folk and that's just the bathroom dirties. Last time I was on my way home from Palmdale, this guy in the car next to me was on a dig...in his nose. I made sure to get his attention and offered him a look of disgust. And I see people touch it all the time. Especially at fast food restaurants....and then they use the same hands to put food in their mouths--without washing them first. And let me say--wetting your hands under the faucet for a second is NOT proper hand washing. Now you've just added a new medium for bacterial spread. Go wash your hands and come back to hear the rest of my spew. This brings me to the floor. All sorts of nasty stuff tracked all over floors everywhere. Especially in bathrooms. You know lots of us do the toilet squat in restrooms, and you know that not everything goes in the right spot each time. So why would you rest your purse on the ground? ILL! GROSS! Stay away from me! Well, I'm bored now. I think I have A.D.D. See you later. By the way--TP over or under? Over the top for me, thanks.
