How Deep is Your Eccentricity?
-
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.

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 have any of these hang-ups although I really wish it was called CDO because that way the letters are in alphabetical order.

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

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.

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).

Where to start?….....................
Loading the dishwasher, similar items of cutlery are grouped together making it easy when unloading and putting the cutlery back into the cutlery drawer. I am calling this one an "optimisation" trait.
Drives me nuts when when dissimilar drinking glasses are mixed up in the cupboard, they should of course be grouped together. Also pint glasses with printed logos, the logos all face the front of cupboard.
