"The toilet roll must come off the top of the roll. I even change it round in other peoples houses!"
Glad I'm not the only one who does that!!! I have to have the volume on radio, tv etc set on an even number. |

If im finished eating or drinking i have to do the washing up straight away
In the supermarket i have to load stuff on the conveyor belt in a specific order so that when i pack it back into the trolley my light goods won't get squashed. Also have to pack cupboard stuff together, all the chilled, all fruit & veg etc.. makes for easier unpacking |

I'm not sure if this is anal or just simply alcoholic but...
I find it highly offensive to open a bottle of wine and not finish it on the same night.
Don't pop a cork in it and put it away for another day, it's madness, MADNESS!!!  |

That's just plain common sense. Who wants a load of squashed veggies and bread due to them being packed underneath heavy tins and jars....
...Which is precisely the reason why the volunteer 'helpers' at the tills can fook off packing my stuff. They pile it in any old willy nilly but I bet they wouldn't do it if it was their own shopping. Some fookin help. |

"What things do you get really 'anal' over..
Punctuation, like when people ask a question without a question mark."
Yet you still treat it like a question, and then answer it. Maybe some people can read a sentence and realise it is a question, even though the punctuation identifying it as a question is missing, without getting anal over it. |

Thing indoors being at the same angle. Furniture at right angles to each other. Coffee table has to bang in the middle of the rug which in turn has to be exact centre of the floor. In the kitchen,labels facing forward.

thats actually not the only thing, but if I wrote about things which I am anal over, in the house alone, elements of OCD would be apparent and I dont want to admit it to myself  |

"My curtains have to be exact both sides, the folds and the tie backs, has to look (to my naked eye) exactly the same "
I'm the same! The rugs have to be centred, the cushions just so. My family call my home a "show house" but it's not. I have three young people living with me...need I say more! |

I'm probably the complete opposite of OCD. I'm a practicle person and things get done in the logical manner my mind determines they should be done. As for arranging things in a certain way... nah, they lie where they fall. I'll dress a dinner table up so that it looks well presented but it's by no means a compulsive thing and I don't really care who lays the table so long at it looks ok.
I knew someone years ago who had to have all the switches on his electrical sockets in the same position, usually the 'off' position. You'd laugh at how many freezer contents got spoiled and how many times he had to reprogramme anything with a digital clock. His wife left him eventually as she couldn't bear it anymore. |

"I have the strange compulsion to turn tins round on the shelf so they all face the front!"
There is a logical reason for that... it's so you can see what's in them!
Soup tins are a perfect example, turn them so the label front is at the rear and you'd never know which flavour was in each tin.
Heinz Baked Beans are simplicity in itself as the colour of the label has been the same for decades. Brilliant marketing. |

My Dvds (all 2000 of them) are all in age group sections, and in alphabetical order under each section.
Drives my housemates mad when they are looking for a certain film to watch, they have to figure out what age is it first.
Numerous times they have threatened to take them out of age group, and just alphabetise them. I go mad every time they even suggest it!!! |

We have three sets of pegs: white, silver and multi-coloured.
I tend to use white pegs with lighter coloured clothes, silver with the darks and multi with everything else. It's not OCD as such because when I'm coming to the end of hanging stuff out and there's a selection of all three sets left I use whatever comes to hand first. |
