Dealing with OCD: How Do You Handle Mess and Dirt?

Leannexxx I see that great! I’m not that ocd but seeing my only pair of trainers like that annoyed me lol

kitty88uk lol I'm the same with my kids shoes and trainers a tiny bit of dirty and that's it the wipes come out

Leannexxx lmao haha!! I normally don’t clean them unless very dirty! Both had huge patches of mud in black trainers so very visible as they are brown mud lol

kitty88uk i couldn't handle that you should see me with my converse the sole on them still look brand new even tho I've worn them every day for 4 months lol

MelissaLee1 is that so it’s just something that we do nothing wrong with that!

I’m not that ocd but like things clean haha

MelissaLee1 Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Too many people don't give a jot about correct literacy and numeracy and checking and rechecking is the way to avoid mistakes.

Queenofdeals786 Explain the wet hands thing please.My hubby had that as well!I used to tease him and say If I was a bond girl exiting water you would have less hesitation perhaps!

MelissaLee1 ohwet hands mean for example if I’m sitting in the leaving room our kitchen right left side end of the room my hubby after having meal wash his hand in kitchen if he don’t wipe his hand he straight come in try to wipe with my scarf most our Asian mens do which make me irritate if he touch my face with wet hand I do shout with words eeeee your hands wet then he always rply look they dry

Queenofdeals786 I sometimes wouldn't dry my hands properly after washing them(but hey they are still clean) and my husband would say..."ooh you're all wet" but I don't quite understand why water should be quite so terrifying.Unless a person is aquaphobic of course.It's only water not acid or excrement after all! Anyone else got any ideas on this one?

MelissaLee1 If I’m aquaphobic I shouldn’t use water I love washing that don’t bother me just don’t like someone touch me with there wet hands,I never came out from kitchen or bathroom without drying my hands I don’t know why

Queenofdeals786 haha thanks for your comments you are so kind

Yeah we don’t wear shoes inside house either we wear slippers

Tell me about it! Damn dusts everywhere ffs

Have to open windows for fresh air and after a few days if don’t wipe windowsill it’s so dirty lol

Queenofdeals786 The mystery continues then lol.

kitty88uk Aww thanks nice to read your don’t wear shoes in side too yes this dust is headache earlier I did wiped windows and blinds now free I’ll go in shower in a bit your take care it’s really nice to chat here have a lovely day all in this topic

MelissaLee1 O yes thanks

Queenofdeals786 thanks for the chat haha hope you have a nice week ahead! It’s a chore to clean house

MelissaLee1 I’m the same hands still wet form washing them but they do dry quickly if I move them about haha air dry them lol

kitty88uk Or wipe em on yer T shirt..er guilty I am.

MelissaLee1 Lmao haha if I’m wearing an apron while cooking then I wipe hands on that haha

Pinkspirit Good job I'm not your flat mate .I'd drive yer potty lol.

MelissaLee1 nope you wouldn't, l absolutely love a before and after.... when my sister use to visit me she would go through all my drawers and cupboards and turn everything upside down, mix and match my cushions in my lounge and bedroom, but it never bothered me because as soon as she had left it would be back to how she found it when she came within minutes

Pinkspirit I need a tidy up person lol.Seriously though I do have some order in my life but I can quite easily leave a few dishes unwashed for the day.My mum loves plumping up cushions as well.My book shelf is quite well ordered.

Pinkspirit omg even at shops you have to sort out the shelves too! Oh no not your job to do so.. lol

Yeah I can’t leave dirty dishes out for long like to wash them after eating

MelissaLee1 cute Belle gif!! Talking about bookcase I have too many books lol mines all tidied up have so many to read! I have to use wrapping paper to cover them cause my room is where the sun hits and have had some sun kissed which annoyed me so much!!

kitty88uk I always put them at the front of the shelf (move em forward)to stop the dust collecting there.What happens behind them is another story.

kitty88uk l usually tidy the shelves if l waiting for my friend is choosing her lunch but always at the checkout as l find it boring just standing there, l like to be doing something always

Pinkspirit You're a handy woman to have around.

MelissaLee1 ha ha

MelissaLee1 lol haha that means you take forever to actually leave the store? How long do you spend time in there?

kitty88uk I could put down roots in a book shop lol.I would happily camp down for the night.

MelissaLee1 lmao haha funny comment when you said you would camp there!

suevernon1968 that’s alright I’m the same with books I have them in alphabetical order haha

martinlufc5637 oh is that so

I never had a problem when I was younger just now can’t stand less either but I’m not that obsessed with cleaning

Jinky67 ,Yes my partner suffered really bad,had counselling for it, unless you have or know someone suffering you wouldn't understand..

janphoenix51 one of my online has it, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It eventually broke up his marriage. He's been hospitalised I don't know how many times. Counselling for years.

Jerseydrew My neighbor's girlfriend or whatever she is cares a lot about cleanliness, yet they wear shoes inside their house. Kind of defeats the point.

PhilipMarc shoes come off when you come in. I've 3 mats yet oh and kids miss them all and leave foot prints every else

PhilipMarc lmao that’s crazy really pointless on that point lol

kitty88uk If you come home from your farm/ranch you definitely don't want your home with the mud or manure you've stepped on.

Besides, it's just cleaner to do so.

PhilipMarc lol that’s so true! Ah well to each their own!.. it’s their house they can do whatever they want
