I had a friend who'd check the door on exiting the house a dozen times to make sure it was locked however many times I told her I had seen her lock it.

I often check the door on exiting the house once even when I remember locking it but that's probably normal range OCD. Have a nephew who has it, apparently if he finds a small rip in a book cover he may tear the whole thing up.bloggoth

I do have loads of those little plastic containers that spare shaver blades come in, sure I'll find a great use for them some day. Then you idiots who chuck them out are going to be sorry!Hoarders fear that something bad will happen if they throw anything away. They compulsively hoard things that they don’t need or use
PS He has got to mid 40s without murdering anyone (I think) so probably safe enough.bloggoth

Food theft. Some 20 years ago one of my housemates was in the Territorial Army. He was also a lardy scoffer.
At one point my Weetabix (or Crappy Shopper cheap alternatives) were disappearing rather quickly but all my housemates denied eating them. I wouldn't begrudge the occasional couple, but they were going in half the normal time.
One morning walked in on the TA chap with a bowl containing Weetabix which he was camouflaging with corn flakes. Mystery solved. I kind of admired his application of army training.Comment
