How Deep is Your Eccentricity?

[louisbosco]

this is a great thread. the thing where snowy mentioned about the cloth hangers. that is one that i'll have to do. it all have to face the same way, color arranged and type arranged otherwise i get irritated. the other thing i'm currently irritated about is that not all my hangers are the same.

Fortunately I don't suffer, however I would like to point out to those that do, it can be very debilitating and disruptive. I find it slightly offensive sometimes that people make light of this, and even claim they have OCD themselves, when in reality all they are is fussy or opinionated. At it's worse it's a psychological illness, disability even.

I must add … I'm very tidy / (maybe neurotic) at home .....
when the weekend calls - and I go out, to have some drinks -      ( I wouldn't invite me)

well fair point there, considering ocd is a form of anxiety disorder…

If you have OCD and ADHD, everything has to be perfect, but not for very long.

I don't like this terms like OCD or ADHD … in former times, that was called 'eccentric' 

[Giles]

Good idea….

Or, in extreme cases, German…

I don't have any of these hang-ups although I really wish it was called CDO because that way the letters are in alphabetical order.

Sad but true.

And that's from the mouth of a Belgian  ::)  (one of the weirdest nations on this planet  )

Ah! Eccentricity! Well that's a different matter.

It's pretty great here…

Sarcasm? 

No .. I can't say any bad things about your country .. but I know only the 'transit routes' to Calais.
And I loved the illuminated freeways.

I used to have coloured plastic clothes pegs and when I hung washing out to dry the pegs on each garment had to match, in fact the pegs on each line of the rotary clothes line had to match 

Now I use wooden pegs, problem solved

^ I'm with you on the plastic clothes pegs Madame B!

When I put notes in my wallet, they all have to be the right way up with the Queen's head facing forward, ordered by denomination, smallest at the front, largest at the back.

Well, that's just common sense.

Having to arrange bills that way every time I closed out in my multiple restaurant/retail jobs turned that particular eccentricity into a bone deep compulsion.

Very very deep.

Dishes.  Can't stand dirty dishes in the sink.  Socks.  Always need to be paired with their match.  My wife is the complete opposite and 'pairs' one with any other.  I think this is what older couple who have been married a long time mean when they say marriage takes patience and sacrifice.

As far as clothes.  Hangers do all face the same direction, it just makes more sense that way.  I never let my button ups lay on the floor, always make sure they go on a hanger if they're not being worn or washed.  I can't stand a stack of folded button ups (gotta be on hangers).
