Ok, I’m back. What were talking about?
ADD? OCD? Or just plain odd?
I’m not sure which of these I have. I believe I have a melange of all of these with a hint of narcissism and mild neuroses.
What is odd is that people that i know who have a few hints of any of these psychological disorders are all highly intelligent people that are very funny. Maybe they are funny because of them. Maybe I just view their actions through a different filter and thus find their actions funny.
My friend who can’t have anything sticky ever touch her hands.Funny.
My buddy who will drive 100 miles to save 2 cents on a gallon of gas but negates the saving by use 7 gallons of gas to make this trip.Hilarious.
My friend who wears gloves in Walmart for fear or the germs contained therein. Sweet!
Not to be left out, here are a few of my issues that make me stand out in the realm of neurosis.
The second I walk into a mens room I forget if the sign on the door said mens or womens and look for a urinal to confirm that this indeed is a mens room. If it has no urinal I will leave because I’m not sure.
After eating at a fast food place I raise my hands and yell I’m full.
When drinking a soda I never drink the last third as I believe it to contain germs.
After having a conversation on the phone I never say good bye or see you later I just hang up.
20 to 30 times a day I furtively check to see if my zipper is up.
I am a total and complete wreck.

I have a mild case of OCD.. So I understand some of these things.. But remember, if you are drinking your soda with a straw, and you leave the last third, you are really leaving the top third, as the straw draws from the bottom.
Whenever I touch something that I think might leave a scent on my hand, I try to furtively check by rubbing my nose. If my hand smells remotely like the cheese I’ve picked up or the cat I just petted, TIME TO WASH!
So if you always leave the last third, it’s different parts of the volume whether you drink with a straw or not.
And if it’s germs that happen while you’re drinking it you’re concerned about, I’m pretty sure the carbonation would kill it. Iced tea, not so much.
I’ve had a lot of time to think about germs while I wash my hands.
I’m not really one to talk but you are nuts and I am strangely attracted to you. Not that I am strange and am attracted to you or that I am only attracted to you because you are strange.
Well you know.
When I was young, if I was looking at a mirror I’d glance behind me to make sure there wasn’t a vampire there. Logically I knew that was impossible, but it bugged me anyways.
I got over that, but now I check for things in the mirror that aren’t supposed to be there.
This is true and correct – OCD ODD Get down with OCC, all people who have that are a bit on the creative side…AND many are drug addicts or drunks..(I believe these “disorders” are just the “non represseds”way of coping with their non-conformity…its how are stress comes out – one of the ways anyway) I STILL check locks and burners multiple times before i leave my house – I still circle my car MULTIPLE times to make sure it’s looked. and I talk to myself…all that’s missing is the bags, the grocery cart and a cat or two. My ex used to ask me why my OCD didn’t materialize in the urge to CLEAN the house – that’s probably one of the funniest things i ever heard him say – didn’t change the house though….
PS — just so we get the addiction thing straight? I’m a wino and (i snort gym socks whenever i can get ahold of them…)
