                    I always have to have my bed made a certain way. I have extra blankets and they have to be a certain way on the bed. If someone else makes it, it will bother me and I will take it apart just to remake it myself lol. Sometimes I do the checking thing, where even though if I know I've turned something off, I Have to go double check it lol. It's a little compulsive, but not terribly.

                    Wow...I wish I had a compulsive order of any kind as far as cleaning. I wish I could be like, Monk..! No such luck. Personally I think it's great that you like to keep things more than clean but I can see how you may get frustrated at times and wish you didn't have to do it all the time.

                    Mine is constantly checking I have everything before walking out the door, it is irritating but I know that if I haven't checked once, checked twice and checked a third time I am bound to get down the road and think, damn I forgotten something. Like my wallet, keys and mobile, I will literally check my pockets constantly, afraid that I will go without them. Even when I get in the car I will make one final check that they are there. It's a right performance and I do it every time, even if I just go down the shops!

                    I have a list for everything. I also have my clothes waiting in line to wear. I know it sounds crazy but I hang my clothes as an outfit. I go from left to right and the first outfit that is on the left of my closent, I have to wear.

                    I have to wash the cutting boards in bleach and the countertops too when working with chicken. I do not want to be ill.  Other than that, it is my only compulsive thing.
