To wonder if I'm the only one who

[ValidUser]

Laughs along with canned laughter to be sociable.

And never leaves a lone item on my plate in case it feels left out?

Anyone with any similar ones?

I do think that I have ‘alignment’ OCD
Towels on towel rails have to align
Anything with writing on it has to have the writing facing me e.g. tins in cupboards and stuff in the fridge
Even gaps between tea, coffee caddys etc
Coasters on tables must align with the corners and there must be an even gap along each side of the corner
In fact everything on a table has to be aligned

I think that I’ll stop there......

My BF deliberately moves everything when she comes to my house, bloody biatch!!

Jeez, I’ve just realised that I actually align my glass on the bloody coaster, must replace angled glass with round glass so that it aligns automatically!

I cannot have digital volume settings on prime numbers.

When I left my job to become fully self employed I explained the change in routine in great detail to the cat in case he was confused.
When I dog sit for my friends I explain when they'll be coming back.
I say sorry to lamp posts if I walk into them and I argue with the sat nav if I don't like the directions.

I only press lift buttons/ crossing lights etc once, in case they think theyre being hassled to hurry up. I tell dc 'it knows you're waiting for it'.

Also buy ugly fruit and veg as i feel sorry for them.

I was cross with dc after a hideous day and flung all the tipped out soft toys back in the box a bit too harshly. None were their 'special ' ones, but dc2 said 'dont throw my friends' and i felt sooo guilty!

I feel sorry for plants & trees in the cold, I think they must be freezing......I'm also convinced they all talk to one another!

I have to say pardon me if I burp whilst alone in the car.
I often narrate my life when I am the car, YouTube style.
My cars have all had names. Pixie picasso, that sort of thing. I say thank you and night night to pixie and I worry that she won't be able to sleep because the garage is lit throughout the night.
My teddies are snuggled up cosily in blankets.
I can't get rid of clothes because they will be sad.
I chuck as much paper as I can though.
I secretly thank the chicken for feeding me(not really other meat though)
I narrate most cleaning.
If I scuff one shoe along the floor I have to do the other foot to even it up.
I thank the tesco tills with an elaborate "Oh no, thank YOU!"
I like to be tucked in by dh if I go to bed before him.

I talk to myself in the lift.

And the worst one, I can't move house because I feel this one would be sad if we left.

I can't go to bed and leave things lying on the floor i.e a hanger or a belt because I fear that if I were to get burgled the item would be used to kill me with! I have had this fear since I was a kid.

I sleep with the door about 12 inches ajar because when I was little I knew that was too far closed for monsters to get in but having it a bit open meant that if a monster was already in, I could escape more quickly without having to faff about opening the door.

I used to have to run up the stairs because I was afraid the ghost of Philip Schofield would chase me up them if I didn't. Always managed to outrun him

I've made up a little song for my cat which I sing to him whenever I'm going out.

I also match clothes and pegs by colour.

I also say "good morning" to Trevor the tree when I pass him in the way to work

weep to my cuddly toy at night if im upset.
and say sorry to it if I get into bed vigorously and sit on its head!

if I can see it coming but my foots already coming down and I tread on a bug,snail etc I say im really sorry.

wonder where wildlife is going and what they are thinking all day.do they have problems!do they go home.do they have conversations like humans with their own species.

I threaten inanimate objects that don't behave, eg: 'if you don't bloody well stop falling over you twatting sweeping brush, I will put you in the bin'.
Out loud.

They don't listen.

oh and of course I talked to my dog as if she was real life human best friend.she was better to talk to than those around me.and got me a hell of a lot more.

I thank any hotel rooms or villas we been in for a nice time.

All these people who thank the Tesco self service machine! The ones in my Tesco treat me like an idiot! Tells me every single time that 'all of your Tesco points add up!' and I always mutter back through gritted teeth 'I know! There would be no point in collecting them if they didn't!'

@ShannonRockallMalin that is clearly justified. Like the time I slapped the fax machine at work.

DH says 'please' and 'thank you' to Alexa because he thinks that sentient AIs will take over the world and he wants to stay in their good books

I don't but he thinks I should

I do the bean thing, I feel like it's a waste of their lives if they don't all get scooped out of the tin and eaten.

Clothes pegs are coloured coordinated to the item of clothing that they're being used on.

I whisper goodnight to our guinea pig Maisy every night when switching off the kitchen lights even though she died and was buried in the garden about six years ago, but oddly enough I don't say good night to the other two who also lived in a big cage in the kitchen and who died before her.

I always tell the dog that I won't be long and that he's to look after the house, regardless of who else is in, when I go out.

I usually put the same mugs or plates together on the shelves, so they are with their little friends! Then I sometimes feel sorry for a vase or jug I've not used for a while, so bring it out and put something in it......

I'm the same with beans!!!
I always tell the dog he's in charge when I go out too @vampire (even if oh is home)
Thank my car when I turn the engine off.
Say goodbye to the house as I drive off.
When I put people on hold at work I hum the hold tune myself.
Listing these I'm starting to think I'm mad!

I cant cut the ends off asparagus or tendestem/purple broccoli. I feel like I'm cutting off a part of them, or their feet.

If I am selecting an item from a shelf and it leaves only one item remaining in the box, I will move other items from further back on the shelf to accompany it so the single item is not left alone "feeling lonely".

To clarify last post, this is when in a grocery shop.

I say please and thank you to Siri, even when he isn't very helpful.

I used to have to run up the stairs because I was afraid the ghost of Philip Schofield would chase me up them if I didn't

Sorry, but I am crying at this 😂😂😂

I sometimes talk to Alexa and ask her random questions that I know the answer to just so she gets a little bit of interaction, always say please and thank you too.

My Tesco self service tills are also an absolute nightmare so I have boycotted them until I feel they deserve another chance.

DS and I always say goodbye to the house when we go out, DP thinks it's just some cute little thing he stared doing all on his own 🙈
