i am definitely OCD. some examples:
when i buy something, first of all, i never get it if it's the last item on the shelf, unless absolutely necessary, or unless i have no other choice. and i always look for the packaging without any damage. then, after i actually get the item out of the box, i get all anal about keeping it clean and pristene until i've owned it for long enough. for instance, when i first got my dell, i was dusting that thing down every day. once, when wiping down the keyboard, a bit of lint got under the key, and i didn't quit trying to get it out until i finally got it with a toothpick. :dunno:
if i buy something with a price sticker on it, i have to take the sticker off, even if it's something like a shampoo bottle. sometimes those stickers don't come off easy so i waste a lot of time getting all that adhesive off. :dunno:
i'm tend to adjust and readjust things on my desk so that they sit just right, and so that they're "balanced". :dunno:
i'm meticulous about installs whether it be on the computer or on cars. when i installed the cd changer in my gf's car, i spent at least an hour positioning the cd changer to sit just right. it's still not right!
:dunno:
software installs, folder structures, files, partitions, etc.. have to be organized "right", whatever "right" happens to be for me at that time. i've reinstalled OSes before just because i didn't feel shit installed quite right the first time, or because i removed crap and felt like it wasn't "clean" enough. :dunno:
wires, oh man, don't get me started on wires. they have to run a certain way. i can't stand wires. i've wasted so much time organizing those things. :dunno:
and i hate when people touch my stuff or ruin my organization.
funny thing is, if you look at my desk and my things, it doesn't really look particularly neat or anything, but in my head, it's all sitting as i want. what can i say? i'm crazy. :dunno:

i have minor OCD. Some things really bother me when it comes to my personal space. I also am nuts about locking my car. I'll lock it, and i'll walk halfway down the parking lot, then think "Did I lock it?" and i'll turn around and double check. I always have locked it.

a friend of mine knew a guy that had to smell something in every room he went into, even stores. now that's OCD.
