So, following on from another thread...

I have a few OCD type habits and I was wondering how many of us on here have similar?

I personally have a thing about handwashing. Wash my hands LOADS of times a day and I am never seen without my alcohol hand gel. I can't handle touching things other people touch, including handrails, shopping baskets, money etc etc.

I also have a few other habits like making all my coathangers point the same direction etc etc.

so, out of interest, what do you guys do?

I have a little habit at work, if i fit a tyre i have to make sure the logo of the tyre lines up perfectly with the valve.

OOOHH I forgot one. If I eat something with foil around it, ie, a Tunnocks Tea cake, I have to smooth the foil out with my finger nail.

What a tantrum I had when I did that the other day at work and a guy grabbed it and scrunched it up.

My daughter has to open/close doors before she can do anything else, also has to walk up and down steps a dozen or so times before carrying on down the street. Don't think it's OCD but sure does drive me nuts!

Hey, MBK that hand washing must be a plod thing. My bruv in law, retired DCI, is exactly the same. Carries alcohol hand wash, baby wipes etc. Great guy but is he fussy!
