why do they have to count, just watched an episode of the simpsons where a guy had to tap his foot and count to 4, also in the film matchstick men (nicolas cage), he plays an obsesive compulsive, and he counts when he closes the door (he has to do it 4 times)

 

problem is, im an obsesive compulsive, i count the amount of times i have to switch on and switch off my alarm before i go to bed (im upto about 16 times) i also have to go downstairs three times to check the windows, doors and all appliances are switched off

 

why do they (we) have to count, anyone else have this disorder, i can usually keep it under controll, but sometimes it gets right out of hand, i wake up during the night and do the same things i have done hours before

 

should i be considering help, it doesnt rule my life, and i always say that i can never leave the gas on or leave a door or window unlocked when i go to bed, maybe its a good thing

 

i know tonite is gong to be a nightmare going to bed lol

FREAK!!! Only kidding mate, its wise for you to lock and unlock and lock your door about 10 times to make sure it works, coz you live in Sunderland. :rofl: :p

PMSL! :rofl:

I must have it an'all then-I keep counting my money in case the wife nicks it! :smash:

once i start to clean, i have to go the whole hog, i started to clean the cooker once, was only supposed to take about 20 mins, three hours later i was putting it all back together thinking "fook how did it take that long"

Ever seen the film with Jack Nicolson called "As Good As It Gets" ?

I have to have a W4nk 4 times each morning before I go to work. I'm fooked if they book me on nights? :rofl:

You think thats bad. Ive been counting my age for as long as i can remember. I count it out on my fingers or using my tongue to count my teeth 37 times or sometimes i just count up to 37 (or whatever my age is at the time lol) in my head, however I am aware of how weird it would look so I do it silently or if im doing it on my fingers i hold my hand behind my back, come February I will be up to 38 ffs :rofl:

Fantastic Film, got it on DVD.

one of the lads at my old work has it, poor lad, tho we're not such if its OCD or autism. just counts things all fookin day long. i was pulling into the shell station down the road to my old job, and there he was, counting the numbers on the pump as some guy was filling his car up. then he goes back up the road and starts counting flowers. oh well as long as he's happy i suppose.

i count my fingers and my thumb, i have four fingers and one thumb on each hand lol, i have to tap them as i count them, i even do it im my sleep, i put my fingers on ourlass's side and count them by pressing them one at a time and then back the opposite way as ive just went lol she keeps thinking its a spider crawling about on her :rofl: :rofl:

im a sucker for time aswell, if someone is late i go mad, if they say they will be there at 2 and get here at 2.15, i will be so nasty and inhospitable towards them , i dont do it on purpose, it just happens, im never late (if i can help it) and im hate anyone being late for me

 

my boss loves it cause i dont start till 8 am, but i get there at 7.30 am so im never late

gotta agree on the punctuality thing, its just plain bad manners to be late for an appointment - mine probably stems from being in the mob.......always being on parade 5 mins early and all that

I have taken all the alloys off the car to clean the bolt holes and the rear of the alloys, have also removed all the seats just to hoover the interior, then removed all the air vents and washed all the piping and vents to get all old dust off, not ocd just very bored that week
