    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.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

      What do we want?

          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.

            What's he going to do when he grows up? Murder someone because they've got a hair-lip?

              Hoarders fear that something bad will happen if they throw anything away. They compulsively hoard things that they don’t need or use
              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!

              PS He has got to mid 40s without murdering anyone (I think) so probably safe enough.

                  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.

                    I use them to keep the old razor blades in
                    Of course you probably throw those out

                      I do the door thing, I'm always terrified I haven't locked it properly.
