Am I the only one?
I dunno bout you guys, but I'm a nit picker (sp?)
Everytime I hear any little noise or see even the tiniest scratch or dent, or defect it tends to plague my head till it's fixed. Anyone else feel this way sometimes?

Rep Power: 0 I am this way too. I consider it perfectionism. The thing is a new car can only remain perfect
for a certain amount of time. I was almost considering putting the first scratch (in a hidden spot)
on it just so I had control. As for fixing it, any imperfections cause a lot of anxiety( I have been pissed at my headlights all winter just did them last weekend now I can breath), I think you, Loki, were trying to say Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviors(disorder) ,OCD.
cures: medication, continued exposure, rationalizing the train of thought.
So no you are not the only one.

Rep Power: 319 Yeah, I'm that way too. I have a door ding on the drivers side door. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!! I feel like my car is all messed up just b/c of that one little door ding. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
I am very picky when it comes to my car too. I washed it this morning and I noticed that somebody has bumped my car with their door. Why do others have to mess up what you have because they don't care about their car? I guess I have to go back to parking away from everyone else...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]
I'm that way too. I've been late for work several times because I've dried my car off in the morning because I didn't want the condesation to leave any spots. The really odd thing about this is though, I'm only this way when it comes to my car. I'm not even close to excessive, compulsive about anything else...I don't know, but I'm glad to find out I'm not the only one! [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Whew! Glad I'm not the only one! It's like I see something wrong, and I swear I obsess about it until it gets corrected. If I hear a noise, I swear, I don't stop till I locate the source and correct it. It drives me nuts!!
Anyway, like I said, glad I'm not alone! We should make like a support group for people who obsess about this kinda stuff. LoL
Family Man, thanks!!!
