Nothing at all, except for checking the front door locks before going to bed each night.
It's more of a habit than an OCD, because I can sleep just "fine" if I were to forget.

I thought double-checking my alarm every now and then was OCD but I'm getting the fuck out of this thread.

OCD is called a "disorder" for a reason. people tend to call any sort of slightly obsessive behavior OCD but that's just ignorant.

Yeah don't bullshit me I'm aware it's a mild disorder I developed it and learned to shun it.
 
1. i always check the front door is locked before going to bed, even though i never forget to lock it when coming in, i've never found it unlocked
2. i'm always double (maybe triple and sometimes more) checking that i wrote the correct numbers down for bills, account numbers, check deposits, phone numbers, etc
3. i'm a stickler for instructions and will follow it to a tee and am too careful to make sure that it's done correctly the first time, to the point that i do things very slowly...rebates, assembly instructions, electronic devices/hookups, etc.

probably more that i can't think of right now...

added:
4. always pee before bed, even if i don't have to go
5. when out to the movies, i always pee before a movie starts even if i don't have to go, and i always worry about the urge coming during the movie
6. always checking for my wallet, even though i know it's in my pocket, i nonchalantly brush my hand (or arm if i'm sitting) across it to feel it's still there, sometime i'll nonchalantly move my leg a certain way (ie: shake, bend, etc) my leg to feel the weight of my wallet
7. when placing or building things and i need to be do some centering, instead of just placing it and looking, i'll tape measure it (ie: table, wall hangings, surface areas, etc) and divide it

If I see a nasty one in a fine diner I will dump it, but are you saying you wont even eat a whole McDonalds fry? Those things are exactly the same from tip to tip!


For me:
Fapping obviously, but since its my hormones controlling it I dont think it qualifies as Obsessive or Compulsive.

I suppose checking the forums every two minutes might be. But I can also let it go for weeks at a time without feeling withdrawl.

if you think double checking your alarm clock every once in a while is OCD you are very mistaken. now if you have to check it 10 times every time and still can't convince yourself you read what you read and you feel miserable about it, that might be OCD.
 
for me, everything has to be closed. doors, drawers, bags, etc. the doors have to be closed so that it cannot be open with a change in wind or room pressure. i just imagine that one day i'll have to run fast, and if the door opens all of a sudden, i'll get hit real hard.

if something can't be closed, that means there is too much packed things or there is disorganization.
 
Hmm. I can't really think of many.

I think the strangest thing for me is when I eat food, I usually always have to eat what I like least first, and save the best tasting thing for last.
