i won't get out of bed in the morning if its 7.01, i have to wait untill 7.05, but then if i fall asleep and wake up at 7.06 i have to wait untill 7.10. it goes on like that.
im also a neat freak, everything has to be in its correct place or i can't concentrait or do anything or sleep.

i used to be alot worse, whn i was 11 i had an actual proper OCD, everything had to be equil, so if i did something on one side of my body liked waved my arm in the air i had to do it on the other side so that i would be equil.
that was fucking annoying, but i couldent stop doing it. i still do it sometimes, like if i tap one foot on the floor 4 times i do it with the other one too, or if i turn around in one direction i will turn around back in the other direction after so that it is equil. im no way near as bad as i was though.

The only weird thing I have is I don't like using other peoples bars of soap, I think it's gross. So I have my own bar of soap at home and have to force myself to wash my hands with other peoples when I'm away from home.
I don't even think it's that weird.

that's odd; i'm exactly the opposite. i won't get out of bed on multiples of 5 (assuming i have an accurate digital clock in view).

i also won't eat anything that turns my tongue a different color, and if i do so without knowing it will stain, i spend the next several hours trying to brush and rinse it off my tongue. (i just started eating blueberries a couple weeks ago when i discovered that fresh blueberries wouldn't do that like the kind in pies.)

This has lent me the absolutely useless ability to instantaneously know how many letters are in nearly any given word, on mere sight.

I do the typing thing as well...certain words and phrases moreso than others. One of those is whenever anyone starts sentences with "The right thing to do..." and then I have to at least envision how the entire sentence looks being typed on a keyboard. There are other phrases, but this one came to mind, because my mom is always beginning sentences that way.

I will also for the most part refrain from engaging in activities if I foresee that particular activity ending in death or injury. Most of these are the result of hearing about someone else dying in the same manner, but others are just ridiculous. I won't drink from glass soda bottles while riding in a car because I think that if I do, we will get in a wreck and if I'm not killed instantly, all of my teeth will be knocked out because the crash would've happened while I was taking a drink from the glass bottle.

My dad always leaves the newspaper and other mail on the stove. I move the stuff whenever I see it this way.

Excessive hand-washing. Especially after petting the dog, which is all the time.

I have a cell phone now, and my brother was calling someone on it once, and instead of pressing the "End" button and then closing the phone, he just skipped right to closing the phone. Every time I see someone do this, it makes me cringe, and if it's at all possible I have to check the phone to make sure it really has been "hung up," even though I know it has and I'm just being stupid.

When using a calculator, I have to press the clear button at least four times before I can punch in more numbers.

The windows in my room have to be opened at the same level. Usually they stay closed because it is particularly hard to do this.

There are more, but most of them are so similar because they involve checking things multiple times to make sure that they were turned off, or whatever it may be in each case.

EDIT:
One thing that resulted in me getting made fun of in math class was when I had to trade homework papers with a friend of mine to grade, and she saw that I had written the most basic of formulas in the margins of my paper (I think the one she pointed out read 9 x 5 = 45). In math, I have to write everything out.

I'm now looking at that online OCD test, and apparently re-reading things is bad. This, in general, is very bad.

I have tons of OCD things. I've become tired of stressing about it and embraced it.

Usually if I do something like scratch the right side of my head, I have to do the left. Then I have to start with the left first and then the right. Then do that whole process inversed. And I keep doing that until either I lose track, or it runs the risk of interfering socially. Though that's almost completely gone. It used to drive me up the wall because I couldn't stop.

I can't set things like the TV volume or alarm clock at anything other than multiples of five, the opposite of the other person that said that.

Someone mentioned walking on the lines of a crosswalk. I always do that, but never thought of it as OCD until I read that. I walk on cracks too, or in between them. Whichever suits me at the time, I guess. Never thought about it.

When I read I always have to stop at the beginning of the first new paragraph of the page on the left, unless it's would severely ruin the flow of the passage. Then I have to keep reading. I've lightened up on that, too, though.

I always have to wash my hands periodicly when handling a book. The feel of certain kinds of paper with any amount of sweat on my hands sends chills down my spine.

Sometimes I can't stop playing Tetris in my head. Dunno if it's OCD, but that's fucking obnoxious. My mind always tries to get it to come out in a completely flat surface. It never does.

The absolute worst one, though, is sometimes, if it crosses my mind, when I look at a digital clock I get a really strong urge to keep looking at it until it changes. So I feel stuck sitting there staring at the damn clock trying not to blink. I fucking hate that.

There's probably a few more, but I can't think of them.

whoa, i do the same thing. and invariably the clock won't have a second counter and it'll be at the very beginning of the minute when you start staring . . . or at least it will feel like it.

yeah, i have this weird habit of sticking my fingernail in between my teeth when i'm driving and i always feel incredibly apprehensive about it because i think that if i ever crash my fingernail will go into my gums and cause massive bleeding or lost teeth or something.

Exactly. And now that I'm thinking about it I have to avoid looking at clocks.

The volume on the TV absolutely cannot be set at 13.

I do the clock thing too. It's annoying, and I do it with analog clocks as well (watching an entire rotation, and if I don't look away right when the seconds hand hits the 12, I have to watch it all over again).
