Trying to Get Pregnant
QOTD
What are you compulsive about?
Me: The way the pillows are after I make the bed. They have to be a certain way with no wrinkles.
This discussion has been closed.
Re: QOTD
closing the shower curtain after you get out of the shower
checking to ensure the door is locked (when I'm home alone)
locking my car doors when I get in the car (guess that's from living in ATL for 8 yrs
The way the dishwasher is loaded: my DH just throws things in willy nilly and it drives me up a wall.
I have to rearrange it every.single.time so I can fit more in.
I should be happy he loads it...but I'm not.
I have to close the door locks as soon as I get into the car.
The towels and underwear need to be folded in a special way aka my way lol
I hate messes except my own :P
Ummm....all of the above.
I guess I'm a bit of a neat freak.
ETA: Confession: I sometimes iron my sheets. I HATE wrinkly sheets.
One? Only one? lol. Let's see here...
I'll say the kitchen. I cannot have dirty dishes or anything else lying around.
Luckily, DH shares this so we literally get up from the table and clean the kitchen.
This when other people load the DW. DH can't do it himself.
Same here except he is the one who rearranges it
Oh where do I begin?!?!
Brushing my teeth, taking off, my eye make-up, making the bed, washing dishes, mopping the floor, I could go on....
I have been called Monica before, I think you can all see why
OMG! THIS! This is me too!
Same!
Pretty much everything...kitchen cupboards have to be organized, clothes folded nicely, no clutter, no dust. The list goes on and on.
My poor DH, living with me while we were trying to sell our condo (with showings) was a nightmare! Thank god we just sold!
Wow- me too.I'd iron the damn things if I had time.
Ok- I'm compulsive about cleaning while I cook. DH doesn't share my OCD and it drives me crazy!!
The kitchen sink, I hate dirty dishes, whats it takes 4 seconds to clean them off and put them in the dishwasher.
The other big one is the hamper. I swear my DH leaves his underware on the floor next to the hamper simply to annoy me!
Presently, I am a little bit compulsive about trying to conceive.
Good one! Me too!
Laundry sorting...
Towels, Darks, Lights, Whites, Jeans, Nice Blacks, Dress Shirts, Blankets/Sheets... each has its own place and own washing type...
wow I just realized that I must not be compulsive about anything. Don't get me wrong, I like things to be neat, tidy & clean but I can't think of anything that drives me insane if it's not done a certain way.
Maybe things hanging crooked & DH not closing the lid on the shampoo bottle?
I have a ton:
Toilet paper has to go Over the roll.
Toilet seat and lid down.
My closet is color cooridinated
Dishes go in the dishwasher a certain way.
I could go on all day!!
Toilet paper has to be on the roll a certain way--over, NOT under! I'm bad about changing the rolls in other people's houses, but I just can't bring myself to have a nice, relaxing pee if the tp is jacked up!
Also, when changing channels on the tv, or scrolling through the menu, it must be started at the bottom (lowest # channel) and work up. I cringe when people go backwards. DH knows not to do it around me, though he makes it known that he thinks I'm nuts.
This. After 2 years, I don't understand why my otherwise brilliant DH can't load the stupid dishwasher right!
ditto!
OMFG this! Glad to see I'm not the only one who will change someone elses tp.
Boxie...I know it's not doing dishes! Lol! You cute thing....I just read you ate your breakfast out of a gravy boat with a gravy ladle.
Oh can I add something that Estene just reminded me?
My closet is color coordinated and it goes from no sleeves to long sleeves, same thing with dresses, jackets. PAnts on one side, jeans on the other, capris in the middle,etc. Shoes are color coordinated and separated by style.
I did the same thing to DH as soon as he moved in with me lol
This plus all of the above. I'm a neat freak. DH had a lot of clutter before we got married, and as soon as I moved in with him, I got rid of almost everything he didn't need or use.
typically it's the way the dishwasher is loaded, clutter on the kitchen island, clothes in the hamper, and closing the shower curtain.
currently, our garage reorganization project has sparked OCD organizing. Everything needs a place and needs to be put in it's place. The container store is my new form of crack.
