I have OCD.
It appears in many eclectic forms but one of the more interesting ones is that when I get a drink from somewhere like McDonald's or whatever I have to line up the McDonald's logo that is on the lid with the seam in the cup (where the cup is glued together to form the cylinder).
It's weird but awesome at the same time. Right?
Also, when I have a glass at home I always have to drink from it in the exact same spot. Usually, this spot is marked by a logo or picture or something on the glass/cup so I know from where to sip.
That was very therapeutic to get out in the open. And now that I read it, it is pretty awesome.
But, the main reason I'm posting this is to relate something that drives me crazy, mostly due to my OCD.
Manhole covers that have the center yellow lines drawn/painted on them.
When these are removed and put back they are hardly ever put back right.
It drives me crazy to see the center lines NOT matched up.
It's just aesthetics people. You gotta put it back on so why not put it on where the lines line up?
SHEESH!
Is that too much to ask?

Such a kick to take off those manholes with painted lines and put them on sideways. I like to think that Jesus is smiling on me as I make crosses in the road.
....er.....oops.

There is nothing wrong with, and everything awesome about OCD. I agree 100% with everything and do the same stuff with my cups, among many other oddities that require symmetry, repetition, or some form of balance.
We'll miss you in Boston this weekend.
