30 Days of Me: Day 12 – something you are OCD about

Oh boy.  I don't think I am clinically OCD about anything, and since that is a real condition, let's just say I'm emphatic about some things. 

Turn off the lights when you leave a room

I hate when people leave the lights on.  It is so annoying!  My husband is so bad about it that I actually unplugged the floor lamp (switched outlet; also annoying) in my daughter's room, because he's constantly going in there and turning it on and then hours later I go up there and it's on.  He leaves lights on everywhere, and I always turn them off.

Turning off the water when you aren't using it

Just like the lights, I don't like to waste water.  I always turn off the tap when I am brushing my teeth and I just don't leave water running when it's not necessary.

I'd say those two things come closest to the OCD thing for me, but there are definitely other things that I like to be the way I want them: 


Put things away where you found them
Not "wasting" batteries
 Just not wasting things in general.

Okay wait--I just realized there is one thing I am really emphatic about, more so than the other things I just wrote about!!!  I absolutely HATE it when someone puts their feet or armpits on my pillow!!!

Why would someone do that to your pillow? The nerve!

I'm just like you about lights and water. I tend to move about in the dark in my house rather than switch lights on!
