Another Look At My Compulsions

I have had time to think about my compulsions lately.  Maybe it is more than thinking, maybe it is more like obsessing over them.  I started a list of the compulsions I have.  As I got to writing these things down I never realized how compulsive I am. 

  • When I make a sandwich with lunchmeat and cheese I have to put down the meat on the bread first then cheese.  Cheese never goes first.  But Cheese is always the last.  So this means that on one side the bread, condiment and meat touch and the other side the bread, condiment and cheese touch and yet I have to make the sandwich by laying the meat first.
  • When I make peanut butter and jelly, I have to make the sandwich with first the peanut butter and then the jelly.
  • When I drop the Browns off at the Superbowl, I have to wipe a minimum of three wipes.  No less no matter how clean the TP looks after the wipe.  (You know you all look too so don’t get all grossed out.)
  • When I first enter my hotel room, the first thing I do is to put the shampoo and the conditioner and soap in the shower. 
  • When I cut the grass it is always the same pattern and direction. 
  • Every Sunday I have to listen to Breakfast with the Beatles.
  • In my office at work I have to sit facing the door.  If I am away from my own office and I don’t have my own desk to work at I will find an empty conference room where I can sit at the table facing the door. 
  • Dishwasher has to be loaded with cups all in one spot, plates together, spoons in one slot, forks in another, etc…
  • When I am in the shower I have to wash my hair first, and then face, then the rest of the body from shoulders to toes. 

 I am sure I have more and just the few I have written so far is enough for all of my regular readers (all 4 of you) to give me hell over.
