OCD-type traits?

Can’t settle in the house if all my shoes aren’t perfectly set next to the wall, I mean each pair exactly lined up, then when I’ve done it I sit for a few minutes thinking they’re not in the right position and because of that life is going to be horrendous from now on. Mix of OCD and severe anxiety.
 
Volume on any device cannot be set at an odd number. Same for temperature.
It’s prime numbers I have to avoid, so I can have the telly volume on 21 or 25, but not 23. Then I turn it up/down by factors of its starting point. So if 21 isn’t loud enough, it goes up to 24 or 27 or 30.

If the starting volume is 25, it goes up to 30 or down to 20.

I appreciate this is weird 🤣
 
When going up or down stairs I always count the steps to make sure they haven't changed. Better safe than sorry.
 
I have one that really bothers me, when I’m putting fuel in the car, say I’m putting £20 in, if I accidentally put £20.01 in I either have to go to put £25.00 in hoping to get it right this time, and if I make the same mistake and fill £25.01 I have to go and buy something for £4.99.

It sounds silly but it honestly drives me bonkers not being able to just let it go
Just select how much you require on select panel before you pull out nozzle from pump.It will stop on it dead.
 
I've got to take the right carrier bag to whatever shop I'm going to. I'd feel unsettled taking an Asda bag to Sainsbury's for example
I'm a little bit the opposite: As an Aldi loyalist I like flaunting my Aldi bags in more expensive shops when I'm shopping for bits that Aldi don't sell. On the other hand, I feel unsettled in a different way when I end up with an M & S bag from the garage opposite me (which I never use) that my mother-in-law has deposited with us. If I take the bag into Aldi I have to fight myself not to publicly assure my fellow shoppers that I'm one of them and not some toff who's slumming it
 
Another one of mine, and it's getting worse, is when leaving a hotel room to checkout. Checking everywhere over and over and over to make sure I haven't left anything important behind 😒
Yep….do this all the time and not just at hotel rooms, at other folks’ houses too.

As @alanmoodysdog has intimated, records and books are a particular issue for me. Everything alphabetical and facing the correct way, although there is a logical need for this with 45s when you have over four thousand of the little blighters.

All my albums are in a particular type of plastic sleeve I bought a massive batch of years ago. So if I buy an album that's in its own sleeve already, even if it's in good shape, it has to be changed for one of mine.
