Well. I have most of the things you have all mentioned. Apart from the shopping being put away in order. I also count things in threes. I know this last one is crazy and I can remember how it started. I was around 5 years old and my uncle was telling my dad that he did it and I started to do it. I have never told anyone this before and I have been doing it for....... 54years eeeek |

You people are lucky that your 'OCD's' are minor in that they don't impact too badly on your lives. If you have something happen that will push your stress limits higher, they could escalate into more but at the mo they are idiosyncrasies. |

I don't colour coordinate pegs and washing but I do have a certain order that washing goes on the whirly line. It is one of the jobs OH and I can't share because he slings them on the line in any order. I also have small older pegs and newer larger ones. The small ones have to be used first to put socks and undies on the inner lines and the larger pegs on bigger things on the outside, so when the washing is taken in I have to do it in reverse, moving all the bigger items firsts, smalls last so the small pegs end up on top.drives me mad if he does it and the pegs are mixed. I say it is being practical but now I am not so sure. |

I thought my mother was the only person who colour co-ordinated the washing with the pegs! The pegs had to match the garment, or if there were no pegs to match the garment, the pegs had to match! |

Oh heck I have a washing 'thing' as well. It has to be pegged out in a certain way, I don't put the coloured pegs in a particular order, but I can't have 2 pegs of the same colour next to each other :-S |

Is this an OCD?......I have to be early to anywhere I go.....I set my alarm an hour before I need to........I have to leave the house spot on the time I have planned to......If I run late for even a minute, I go into stress mode....When I arrive at my destination....even if there is enough time.....I am so stressed out because things haven't gone to plan, that it takes me ages to get back to normal. |

Once - I have grown out of it - I had to peg out the washing with coloured plastic pegs in the correct rainbow order if I found I had a colour I'd missed in the peg-bag I would go back to the beginning and start again |
