ANAL? What about you?

[ddcanz]

Now I bet that got everybody's attention!
But I'm speaking about anal and OCD related tendencies and behaviour.
What are yours?
One of mine is that I'm a neat freak. Not to the level of a Felix Unger, but pretty damn close.
Within hours of vacuuming carpet and Swiffering hardwood floors I'm on the lookout for ANY debris that gets tracked in. A speck here, a nugget there and I'm reaching down for it. Drives my SO wild (but not so wild that she doesn't absolutely appreciate my housework and domestic efforts).
Streaky windows and water spots on crystal also get my attention in a real hurry. :twitch:

It's one thing to have a habit, it's another to be obsessed about it to the point you have OCD.

I am not anal about anything really. I am punctual to a fault, if anything. Every watch and clock in my house has to have the same time. If they are not, I get irritated, tell myself that one day I am going to sync them. Usually that day never comes unless there is a power outage or something.

On a more serious note, when you see an SP, do you spend first few minutes on 'pre-inspection' to make sure there are no ........... debris, spots, streaks or as you put it, "water sports on crystals"..... oops, I meant water spots..

Sounds like you'd do good as a combat engineer. :behindsofa:

Funny you should say that.
Until my life took a hard left in the late '70s, my goal was to enter Royal Roads MC on a Naval engineering scholarship after graduation.
I guess I developed my habits very young.

My guns are always cleaned and oiled once every two months wether they need it or not, I always mount my horse with my left...Natives mount horses from the other side.
My belt and kitchen knives are razor sharp....a dull knife drives me crazy to the point that I carry a steel in my truck , and will sharpen everyone's knives....which has turned into." Hey! I was thinking of coming over for a visit...can I bring some knives over with me?"
I will never let an SOS pad rust on the corner of my sink....EVER!....it smells like two day old blood.
I won't lock my front door unless I'm gone for a week, and I leave my keys in all my vehicles....yet I will lock up my tools every night in my shop, for some unknown reason.
