They should have titled it "20 Things..." and stuck an unfetchable image in the middle somewhere.

FIFY

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.

I have something like OCD. It's CDO. Actually, it's the exact same thing as OCD, but the letters are in the right order, LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE!

imprimere: profplump: imprimere: It also serves to fark up the one non-cooking utility a microwave offers - a clock.

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.

LMAO... you're particular form of OCD is much funnier than most - "Some arse put a clock on my perfectly good heatin' box! That's what my wrist is for!"

Does your VCR blink "12:00"?

My coffee maker would if it wasn't for the wife setting it. Blinking 12:00 = free from the bondage of every stupid little appliance telling you to hurry the fark up, you're late! There's four clocks in the damn kitchen! I'd kill them all if i thought I'd get away with it.

#8. Unbalanced parentheses drive me crazy !

Despite being mildly ocd, I could live with or simply fix most of the others. Oddly, time left on the microwaves at work really doesn't bother me at all. Pressing reset before entering a warming time is just becomes part of how a mw is used.

But seriously, #8 ! what inhuman heathen leaves unbalanced parentheses ?!?

/my being an IT guy probably doesn't help...

rohar: imprimere: rohar: 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)

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.

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

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 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.

The condiments need to be in stoplight order!!
Now.
Right now.

I would have to buy a marker and whiteout and fix this. That or pry the tiles up and swap them.

I'm only annoyed by the fact that 3 and 9 are basically the same issue.
And the fact that I looked at this boring thing at all.
Do people really care about this crap?

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

The condiments were not ordered alphabetically.

MaudlinMutantMollusk: ShawnDoc: If I saw number 15, I'd make it a point to constantly leave the microwave with time left on the timer, and I don't even use the break room at work. I'd go out of my way just to annoy that person.

That's exactly what I was thinking

/talk about asking for it

OCD and passive aggressive is a horrible combination.
