It bothers me because there is much to be done in the house to make it perfect. Everywhere I look there is something wrong.

Fortunately, this trait passed me by.

The worst for me is being 10 miles down the road, then needing to go back and make sure I locked the door.

I now have OCD - Old Crazy Dangerous. Being so it has effected my life. I am no longer as fast as i was 20yrs ago. As far as the Crazy, well it's expected from old people. Dangerous, when people think you're old and crazy they neglect to look at the dangerous part. That's what makes an old guy especially dangerous!

I have issues but OCD is most definitely not one of them. Maybe borderline Asperger's I might concur with.

Learned early on in MC to be very organized in just about everything as it can save a great deal of time and reduce confusion when things were going crazy in the dark. A lot of these strange behaviors linger on as Idiosyncrasies to this very day. Found a thread on RP about this from a year ago and there were literally hundreds of responses by folks doing the same things out of habit. Now I don't feel I am so strange after all in a lot of ways. Don't know if any or all of these qualify a person as OCD.
