jaylectricity: Begoggle: Do people really care about this crap?

Does anybody really care about anything?

I have yet to find a majority of my acquaintances that care about the same thing.

Well, when I say "care", I mean, care enough to be "OCD" about it.
Obviously I noticed all the things "wrong" with the pictures. I find some of the inconsistencies & mistakes rather amusing, so in that sense, I guess I "care". But not really.
I don't get it.

arghyematey: Who really freaks out because time is left on a microwave? "Choose your battles", it might lead to a better quality of life. Or at least better handwriting.

I don't freak out, but I find it mildly irritating...not enough to leave a note or even mention it, but enough to utter an exasperated sigh. And my exasperated sighs crush souls.

As a person who has taken hundreds of flights, I have ALWAYS centered the latch. Funny stuff.

Is OCD the new ADHD, the "I'm farked in the head too, but only slightly, so it makes me interesting!"?

I DO! It's a multi-layered problem. On one hand, it demonstrates extreme laziness. If you can't be bothered to push one lousy button, don't use the microwave. It also serves to fark up the one non-cooking utility a microwave offers - a clock. Have you ever glanced at a microwave clock and thought you had a few minutes to get to that meeting because the cook timer was close to the actual time? Finally, it usually shows just how little people pay attention to their surroundings. And that just bugs me.

I have been known to unplug the microwave at work after people repeatedly fail to clear the timer. When they ask why I do that, I tell them that I'm just using a different method for leaving the microwave in a state of unreadiness because that's what people seem to prefer. One would think after having to plug it in each time, that they'd remember to clear it. One would be wrong though.

What, no row of light switches where all but one are switched in the same direction, so you have to go to the other switch for that light so you can switch it on and then go back to the original row of lights and switch it off?


Cause I hear some people are bothered by that.

Time on the microwave isn't an OCD thing unless you like to look for favorable patterns in LDC screens...it's just annoying that people are so lazy that they can't reset the stupid thing.

When I was a student teacher my mentor was OCD medicated. I made the mistake of once using the wrong farking shade of blue in the grade book.

usernameguy: OCD isn't being mildly annoyed because a tile is out of place. OCD is literally ripping the tiles out and re-doing them yourself because one of them is out of place. OCD is rubbing the skin off your hands because you wash them 500 times a day and never leaving your house because touching the doorknob will give you germs.

Just like being an anti-social jerk doesn't mean you have Asperger's, Being slightly annoyed at a pattern break does not mean you have OCD.

(But you knew that, and I'm being kind of a dick. I guess I have Asperger's)

Or insisting on leaving a rug or carpet to cover the tiles because you can't stand to look at them. I'm betting that's exactly what that picture was showing. I'm sure there are varying degrees of most disorders.

Good one. Double light switches can drive me nuts. Like where you have two switches at the top and bottom of the stairs or at either end of the kitchen. Invariably, someone will set them so that one is up and one down. I have to walk to the other end of the circuit and place them in synchronous order.

The only one that really annoyed me was the bristle block spaceship...because my kids have a set of bristle blocks and they're asymmetric by design, cannot center OMG, and .... yeah, I've been there.

Dad was a general contractor, I was taught at a very young age that things are built well. If I saw any of those floors I'd rip them up and start over. Is that OCD or just craftsmanship?

That depends on how much of the floor you ripped up.

So farking true!

All the parts that aren't right or are damaged by removing those parts. If that floor ain't right, I'm not leaving it alone.

Then you are just proud of your work and not OCD. If you insisted on ripping up the entire floor and starting over every time a mistake was made, you'd want professional help. I know this and can advise you because I'm, in no way, a professional expert regarding OCD.

/still betting I'm right though

Or you could just let it go and accept that you can't always be in control of your environment. Unplugging something and aggravating the entire office just because 1 or 2 people at your office don't push the button you want them to push?

I just don't get that kind of thinking.

I'm not defending it as mature, but it had actually taken awhile to get to that point. How long would you allow company to leave your front door open before you said something?

Without "THIS" before every picture without context, it would have been more enjoyable.

I also forgot to mention the biggest and worst byproduct of people who don't clear the microwave. People who don't clear, are generally "random cookers". They don't know how much time their stuff will need, so they usually overshoot the cook time by 50% or more. They believe that they'll just watch their food and know when it's done, but almost always get distracted. This leads to some very bad things. Like destroying the entire microwave by catching the bag of popcorn on fire because they weren't paying attention. This happened TWICE within a two-year period at my place of employment and by different people. And let me tell you, not only is the microwave irrecoverably damaged, but you end up clearing a large portion of the building's occupants for a large chunk of time.

I think most stable adults can assess the risk profiles between leaving a door unsecured vs. not clearing the timer on the m/w.

What is this "m/w" bullshiat?? IT'S MICROWAVE GODDAMMITT!!!!

MICROWAVE!

Can you farking SPELL??!?!?

Who's talking about risk? You've never had guests who leave a door open, or leave lights on for no reason? It's not gonna destroy your house, but it's very rude and inconsiderate. I'm not saying to cane them out the door, but it will get to you eventually.

gadian: Why not 20 things? 20 fits. 20 is a nice, round, complete number. 19 is one short.

I'm pretty certain that was intentional.

Thank you for that...I always wondered what it was that motivated me to constantly create lists, straighten my USB cables, and align my "Irish Coffee" mugs so they are perfectly centered with the handles pointing in the exact same direction.

Now this just looks sloppy.

I'm worse than OCD, I'm an OCD UI designer! So that kind of shifts the sort of things that would bother me.

IE, I'm annoyed by half assed jobs and designs that don't take into account efficiency and the human inclination to take the path of least resistance.

For example,



They would have to fix this shiat before they got a single cent of my money. Who the fark looked at that and thought it was good to go?

The person who assumed that a washer and dryer would just sit atop that mess?

Usually on those lists only a few will get to me. Every one of those made me want to punch the screen.

adragontattoo: The last two tile ones have GOT to be done by a mason with a mean streak. The first one is because whoever laid the tile started the off row from the other side of all the others.

The pill one is fine, there is a pattern, so it may continue.
The fritos one is fine, IF that is the way ALL the bags are eaten.
3, 9, 14 would have been fixed by me when seen.

The microwave one is not OCD, that is a pet peeve.

PENCILS!

I would never associate 'mason' with 'tile'. Is that correct?

By not clearing the time, you are not leaving the microwave in a state that is ready for the next user. This is just lazy and rude. He is just doing the same by unplugging it.

While I'd notice most of them, only 5 (list) and 12 (sudafed) really bothered me.
The tiles are just sloppy work. Id wonder if 17 was done on purpose by a bored worker. 13 bothered hubby - I had to have him explain why.

Stop expecting microwave ovens to tell you the time of day. Mine, if not otherwise instructed, simply displays a colon. I find this the ideal situation; it emits little light, does not presume to indicate a time of day of which it has no valid indication, and can easily be recognized as "on" or "off" without a multi-second observation.

I'd argue that your real problem is with whatever idiot decided a cooking appliance should also have a clock function. Go back in time and murder that asshole and we'll all be better off.
