OCDish tendancies. [That does NOT goe there]

[Tama2]

I have to count how old I am by touching my fingers on something. If I'm an odd age then I have to double my age so it's even.

Is the door locked? Yes. Okay good. Wait, is it locked? Yes. Okay good. Is the door locked? Yes. Okay good.

That's my reaction to any door that needs locking, be it bathroom, front door, prison cell, et cetera. I am a freak.

Meeeee too. I generally check three times before I tell myself to quit being a jerk.

And there's only a D in the OC if your rituals interrupt your life.

When I play WoW, my Enchanting bag has to have the first two rows filled with dust and all are stacks of 20. Always. I'll even leave a few guys who are willing to do a multiple dungeon run for a while just to go to Shattrah or Orgrimmar and fill up the stack.

In Photoshop, all of my Layers need to be named, not generic things like Layer 2, but Subtitle or Background. And I always keep text layers above image layers.

Whenever I get a new mp3, I always try to fill in as much information as possible.

Every time I post or write something, I always read through it a whole bunch of times to see if it's actually understandable. Mainly because my thoughts are scrambled like eggs

I've edited this post 8 times before actually posting it and I suspect I'll edit it once when I click <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Submit Reply" onClick='alert("I was right.")'></FORM>

When I played WoW I'd hoard herbs and so my bank was nothing but them. They HAD to be in alphabetical order with stacks of 20 coming before any incomplete stacks.

Coding I don't have anything really OC yet, but I'm sure I'll get there when I start to learn more.

As for everything else in my life, my room is my room. It has to be my mess or my clean, and my clean is organized down to how I keep my clothes organised in my dressers. I don't care about other places except for when I'm cleaning them and then no one can help me or I go over what they did just to be sure.

Checking the locks on my car. I don't do it with anything else, just the car. I'll get out of the car. Lock it. Check the handle of my drivers door. Then, check the passenger door even though my car has central locking. Then, I'll walk back round and check my door again. I'll then walk halfway across the carpark and think "Did I lock the car?"
and go back and check once more.

Writing. I obsess over neat. I just can't cross out mistakes. I have to use tip-ex to get rid of a mistake, or I have to write out the whole thing again on a new piece of paper, whether I've written a sentence, a paragraph or nearly a whole page. I also can't change to another type of pen if one runs out, it has to be exactly the same or I have to re-write again. I used to take notes in class, then take them home and then take them home and write them out again in neat.

Haha, Sagensyg. I really enjoyed clicking the button over and over again. :laugh:

Have I insulted BoB today? Check!
Am I sure I've insulted him? Insult again to double-check!
Have I insulted Psy today? Check!
Have I insulted Psy over XBox Live today? Double-check!
etc, etc

The jokes a bit thin nowadays.

Well, I have in interest suddenly in knowing what your best coding practices are. Well, it could be any best practice really, but what are those quirky little optional ways you do things that just seem to bring out the OCD in you.

Like, when I code, if I am pulling in information from a database or through and argument, I always add some Turkish style prefix to delimit where it is coming from, like db_intVariableName. It has been a life saver in larger apps that other people love to dive it and touch. So when I come back later and find that my code was mutilated, I feel like she has been disloyal and is now completely uncouth. The funny thing is, I don't care how it looks in other people's code.

I always name arrays plurally and hash-tables singularly, and method names with verb-words etc. I name filename-storing variables *_fn and directory-storing variables *_dir, and filehandles / database handles end with h (fh, dbh, sth).

Beyond that the naming scheme in my code is an anarchist free-for-all of whatever whim takes me at the moment. A consistent naming scheme like you use is a good idea (depending on the language you're using).

All my video games are in system order then by alphabetical order. I used to keep my itunes major OCDish but I gave up on that after I hit the 500 song mark. Before then If I couldn't find all the information I deleted the song. Also here in my organization for EVERYTHING on my computer.

[Quindiana Jones]

Psh. That folder stuff is just common sense. Right pain in the arse hunting down things when you don't know where they are. I pat you on the back, sir!

That reminds me. My Images folder ( where I keep my Photoshop junk besides PS itself ) is neat freak heaven. When I get off this computer I might post a picture.
