I’m **** about my mower also…. only bought 2 in the past 45 years and still have both. First from 1967 and then a new one in 2012.

[Justanoldguy]

Man, we're a bunch of sick bastards.

NONE of this stuff is important and yet its critical to all of us.

I'm **** about people continually grouping me in the ALL group.

I'm not in it OK...

 

[G-force]

wire management and zip ties

 

[Ruger_556]

Good....... I'm not the only person that has to have tv/radio volume on an even number.

I'd really really like to say I don't do that...

 

[Rusty32]

No need to feel **** about that well earned that is beutiful

 

[Rusty32]

(*Embarrassed to post this picture, because I see I have some wrenches where the claws are going different directions. This must be corrected….)

All tools have to be wiped off of grease before being put away.

If I'm missing a socket, it drives me nuts. I'll search until I can't search anymore to find it. The ones I can't find, I have to buy another one to match. Even if I have 14 9/16 sockets in various drives, I have to have the one I lost back.

On my combo wrenches, I have 2 of everything. The Sears Industrials go on the outside, the Sears Professionals go on the inside. The Blackhawk ratcheting




wrenches are inside of the Gearwrench ones.

I have to buy things in even numbers. 10 2x4s, 4 sheets of plywood, 2 boxes of nails.

Like others have mentioned, extension cord abuse. If somebody borrows a cord from me, and returns it not coiled right, or heaven forbid, wrapped up by using their hand and their elbow I have to lay it in the sun and let it relax and coil it right.

And a million more things….

That's beautiful

Other than the typical garage journal thinks like tools it continues with stocking the fridge , food and dishes everything has to have a row with labels facing out. Oh and if you are up drinking and by yourself at night make sure you burn all the firewood and drink all the beer before going to bed.

Lol.

 

[My Junk is Stuff]

I have taken the toilet paper off the hanger and put back on the right way at other peoples houses more than once.

Plus 1 there!

 

[stikman56]

This.....because I spent 12 years of my spare time doing a complete on it, in a two car garage, even painted it in there.

 

[cambyz28]

Drilled divots or holes in a drill press table. I would have to order a new a new table if someone pockmarked mine.

 

[Radio Ron w4ron]

Keeping the display room for my antique radio collection neat and all the
radios dusted. Usually I'm in there at 2 or 3am 3 nights a weeks dusting
and straightening things up on the shelves. I HATE all the cob webs that get
on the horn speakers on the high shelves

 

[Kevin54]

I thing the two most things I'm **** about is stuff sitting out around the house, and something crooked that is supposed to be straight. I've worked with straight lines almost my whole life, and if something is built crooked, or the ridge line of a roof not level, it drives me nuts. My neighbor has a white plastic fence around his pool, and half of the 4x4 post are warped causing the fence panels to go every which way.

Then the jackwad that built the houses on our stretch, built our house skewed to the road. The guy that built the garage built the garage square to the house. I found the pins for the property lines after we cut down all of our evergreens. From front pin to back pin, there is about 8' difference of being straight with the garage. So when I mow, I mow one side of the pin towards the neighbors in the front, then one side of the pin towards our side in the back to keep things looking straight between the garage and the neighbors house. But if the neighbor beats me out to mow, he mows right from pin to pin. When he does, the mow line is skewed to both of the properties, and looks terrible.

I agree with the wall o' tools.. I am insanely jealous.

Re the Pix #6 - not only is that one switch wrong, but even more wrong is the haphazard way they tightened the covers... not one screw head is RIGHT! Arrghhhhh!!!

 

[sberry]

I like to stay workwise and rid the shop of things I am not actually using. Its super easy and almost automatic to leave various remnants of projects or items that creep in and make themselves at home.
I have a remodel on occasion and even strip machines to storage, at the rate I use it I moved my table saw to another building, I can walk over on occasion instead of having to work around it. Moved it to less expensive floor space out of the traffic.

 

[joeysh03]

People that shut a door with out turning the door knob, especially when I am trying to sleep. Just turn the knob and pull the door close. Its that easy.

Dad? Is that you? He had us all programed at an early age to turn the door knob. My son is pretty hard headed but does most of the time.

 

[Outlander]

Any of you truly **** people ever figured out why you are like that? Something from childhood? Hard wired that way? Just you being you?

I was thinking about why I don't like heights today, and my mind wandered to why I do some things like I do.

 

[joeysh03]

Lol. I can still hear my dad to this day.

 

[NAPPY]

I prefer tools be put back on the top of my box so I know they were returned.

Here's my list.... shoes on furniture, lights left on, kids hanging on doors or stair railing, so much in the fridge that the door won't close, kids using three pounds of toothpaste just for most of it to fall in the sink, protective film left on electronics, tape seals on DVDs just cut open and not completely removed, kids getting in the way in the kitchen, the list can go on. I use to hate when my kids would scream all the time. I realized that when they scream from an *** beating, it sounds the same to the neighbors.

 

[NAPPY]

People that don't remove ads from CL after it's sold.

 

[dadsEH]

My SIL just finished an extension on the back of his house... he fitted a 6 switch light fitting panel on the inside back wall to run the inside lights and porch lights...so its 3x2 rows of switches on the one facia...'off' is up on the top row and down on the bottom row...WTF?!
?.......so the porch light is on....the odds are 6-1 you will pick which switch, call me OCD? ! Maybe.

 

[BHR4CE1]

I'm only **** about......EVERYTHING!!!!

 

[rambo19]

Things have to be even;
Volume on telly 64/62/60, not 61/63/65.

 

[joeysh03]

When people don't dry off in the shower but stand on the rug in front of the toilet so that when I walk in there with my socks on they get all wet

 

[Lone Star Blaze]

The way jars of metal flake are stacked on the metal flake shelf at work.

That's it!

My dad, sister and oldest son are all badly OCD so I pretty much quit caring about organization years ago.

 

[Jeepfisher]

1. Any repetitive action (stairs or rolling a hose) I count the reps
2. We have a bunch of ottomans at work for the kids to sit on. They have to be in order by color and shape.... coworkers go behind and move them... vicious circle
3. Cannot have a dirty car
4. Always use the same seat in my airport to organize keys and wallet and boarding pass (haven't crashed yet)
5. Cannot wear same brand of clothing for all pieces (nike and addidas blend but not all one brand)

Just to name a few

 

[mike052082]

It's no good having them all the same direction if they haven't all been screwed in the same number of turns. Otherwise they all have different torques.

We're not building an engine here.

 

[ovilla]

Bolts/Nuts - Anybody else HAVE TO clean/redo the threads on any bolt or nut that won't go on freely by hand? I bought a re-threader kit years ago to install a hitch and I swear I use it all the time now. I also have to put anti-seize on any automotive threads.

 

[Capt Chrysler]

LOL.....Tools touching in the tool box. Guess this come from not wanting my food to touch on the plate.

Now if I have to take tools with me, I can drop them into a bag and go, no big deal. But, not when there cleaned and put away.

People that won't put tools away at the end of the day.

Capt. Chrysler

 

[Labradorian]

For my OCD types out there. We know most people are **** about the care and storage of their tools but what is something that you are **** about.

I know I'm **** about making sure that the screws in the outlet and light switch plates are always horizontal (or vertical) but I stick with horizontal.

Trying to get my teenagers to shut the lights off, close the drawers after they open it, put the tooth paste away afterwards, flush the toilet after they pissed on the seat, put the cookies away after they pulled it from the cupboard, replace the milk bag and not put it back empty back in the fridge.

A week ago I found cookies left out again...........I threw them in the garbage. Told son, anything from now on that gets left out or not put it away where you got it, goes in the garbage.....so far it is working

another thing Im **** about is borrowing or using something of mine without asking and just leaving it out.

Also, can't stand owning something that is broken or not operating the way it was intended. Something as little as a loose leg on a table, or a rattle in my truck, can't stand a rattle in my vehicle or odd noise in my ATV or snowmobile, its got to be figured out and fixed.

 

[Labradorian]

When people don't dry off in the shower but stand on the rug in front of the toilet so that when I walk in there with my socks on they get all wet

I here ya.......I think my teenager walks around the bathroom while drying off because its like water everywhere.

 

[ZRX61]

In NZ, EVERY switch that is off, points upward.

It's an American deal, the amount of stuff that is *** backwards compared to the rest of the planet is fairly long, here's a few:
Light switches upside down.
Bicycle brakes mounted with the front brake on the left
Hot/cold faucets backwards
Visegrip release lever works backwards.

There are literally dozens of other examples.

Nope, not OCD at all. But you do suffer from what we call the "Common sense Syndrome" You like things done right and have it make sense afterwards.

Hot on the left, cold on the right, flow follows gravity (especially s***) and payday's on Friday. Came from a house restoration company I was subjected to as a teenager (one of those works programs). Somehow I never forgot that. (I don't know about backwards; most countries I've been to follow the hot on the left thing...)

 

[Rod N]

Having to finish reading a thread even if it is 8 pages long and I have lots of work to do!

And all the other stuff ......

 

[Labradorian]

I have shared some of my **** details but have a story of other people being **** about things I could never understand.

I once lived in another town and rented a house basement and the only place I could park was across the street on the street. there were no houses on the otherside but just one corner lot. this one house was on a corner lot so his driveway was actually around the corner on a cross street in front of my place. This guy who lived there must of had more vehicles than space so he would park one of his vehicles across the street from my place on the road, just behind where I would park. Didnt think much of it, but I noticed that his vehicle was always in the exact same spot, I mean within inches of where he parked it the day before. Call me observant.

Remember this is on a street, and not even his street. So one day I came home, and being a busy area someone had parked in my usual spot. so I just pull up behind them and parked in this spot where this **** guy always parked his car. There was still plenty of room behind me to park another vehicle. When this **** guy came home he parked right behind me. SO I wanted to prove how **** he really was. So I went back out later that evening and moved my vehicle ahead since the guy ahead of me had left. Like clockwork, the **** guy comes out within minutes of me moving and moved his car ahead to the exact same spot on the street?

I could understand if this was his driveway, but it wasn't even his property, but on a street, not even his street. This is not **** but more crazy.
