Just a fun question to past by everyone here. We have experienced it, the need to have things just a certain way. From things lined up on a desk to how we hang our clothes, it may be true that OCD plays a huge role in one's ability to comply with standards and regulations. But it is really OCD or is it just part of how are brains are wired now following endless days of having to it because...well, that's the way it's done. I was talking with a friend last night and we were talking about laundry. I told them, I'm picky on how things are folded and hung in my closet. They smiled and laughed then asked if I have OCD or not. My reply was simple, I said "No, that's just the way I know how to do it."

So RallyPoint, is this type of behavior a result of us all being a little OCD or is it just because it's the way we were taught?

Being organized, and creating a smooth flowing operation at home, work, or school is a result of being just that..organized. There's a place for everything and everything in its place. People with legitimate OCD are not necessarily organized or structured.

Damn. I always back my vehicles in, no matter where I'm at unless firmly posted to pull in, and I'm noticing that my clothes when hung up are starting to all face to the left. If my socks start showing smiley faces when folded, I'm checking into the nearest facility.

SN Greg Wright - Man that's not just you. I hit the alarms at random points just to hear them go off to make sure the doors are locked. Drives the neighbors nuts I'm sure hearing different car alarms all night, but it saves me from having a case of the a** if they're not.

LMAO, I do all those things. I back my vehicle in where ever I go, I check my doors at least twice to make sure they are secure, I have all my clothes hung up and facing the same direction, and I have always since the day I joined, folded my clothes the same way I folded my military issue. LOL

I have been garaging my cars for 30 years. I feel really awkward parking at a curb. Pulling in at a parking lot isn’t as bad. I guess it started around 1987
