OCD meme

List five 'quirks' or minor (or major) OCD behaviors you have. Repost in your own LJ if you feel like it.
1. I abhor being late. I generally prefer being an hour early to being ten minutes late.

2. I make to-do lists most days. If I have accomplished tasks already, I put them on the list so that I can cross them off.

3. I cannot read, study, or concentrate if there are distractions. Television is about the worst distraction, because of the simultaneous noise and moving images.

4. I arrange my money in order of denomination and ensure they all face the same way.

5. I cannot read something if it contains typos. Typos jump out at me and ruin the flow.

Bonus: I knew that "obsessive-compulsive disorder" is not the right term for these symptoms. The correct term is "obsessive-compulsive personality disorder".
Bonus bonus: I already had an "OCD" tag.

LOL how do you get thru even one of my posts? I am so horribly dyslexic; my spelling etc is ghastly

"If I have accomplished tasks already, I put them on the list so that I can cross them off."

I do that too.... and laugh at myself for it every single time.

2 - I need to get into that habit.
