The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

I have to have the stereo volume in the car on an even number as well. When I buy a sandwich or roll for lunch I will never eat the last bit. Because that's where they put the poison. I also turn all my radio equipment on in a specific order.

My obsession is An Accident. What is I had an accident and I don't die? What if l lose one of my arm? What is I went blind, or deaf, or lose my hands. I would be able to run a computer again. I won't be able to enjoy a movie as I do now. The world of music will become silent to me.
I have to make road journey a lot, almost every month. So, it is a big obsession for me (with possible reasons).

I know, what I'm saying, in a round about sort of way, is I need another Collingwood joke in the joke thread so I can laugh my head off again.

OK, a little bit of confession on my part is needed I guess.
These tests, they sort of don't work on me.
With my psychologist, I fully control the direction of my therapy without her even noticing. Quite frankly, without even trying, no effort at all. It just sort of happens.
She, and others, have tried cognitive behavioural therapy on me and got absolutely nowhere. My brain automatically deconstructed what was trying to be done to it, I reversed-engineered the techniques, and the therapy process became totally useless. It bypassed/neutralized and undid all the intended therapy basically. What's even more, is I've never fought or got into an argumentative situation with any of my therapists, I've always treated them with extremely good manners and been very kind.
There is an impenetrable wall that even I struggle to get through sometimes. My brain is very strong and I can't remember any traumatic events from my childhood. They are very very hidden, to the point of not even existing for all intents and purposes. I call that part of my brain "the count room vault", like the type you get in a casino. Not even the casino boss can get into it.
I have a psychologist because I don't want a psychiatrist. They try to "fix" everything with drugs and I refuse to take pills, because there is nothing "wrong" with me (OK, there's a lot wrong with me, but nothing pills can fix). I'm at my full faculties at all times, I know exactly what I'm doing. I have a conscience, I have empathy, I feel feelings. I just have a naughty and very smart, and very impenetrable, brain, and it just doesn't like to be told there are limits it needs to adhere to, because it knows what it's capable of.
When someone tries to mess with my head or my life, I just "neutralize" them, make them ineffective. Like adding lime to an acid and you just end up with harmless water sort of thing. I make a "clean" win impossible for them, by dragging the situation/game into the mud and forcing them to play dirty if they want to win against me. Most people can't see it through. Those that want to, have to accept a tainted dirty victory over me, and they only get about 20% of what they originally wanted to extract out of me. Their manipulations are still there, but it no longer has any gravity to it.
I know I sound like a really sick person, but these are all strategies I've mastered because I had to deal with some sick people in my life, many of which whilst I was still only a little boy. I learned and adapted very very rapidly to the adult world, and I needed defenses. Luckily my brain was up to par to do it.
I grew up with some very f*cked up adults in my midst, and it was either get steamrollered and hurt, or find a way to deal with it/neutralize it.

I have another obsession. I don't write by hand often, and there is a good reason for that. My handwriting has to be painstakingly neat, or I feel really uncomfortable leaving it just like that.
Especially the verticals of letters such as d, l, k, the horizontals of t's, f's, equal signs, minus signs and the like. I often keep a very small, very maneuverable ruler/straight edge with me to ensure I do the lettering correctly.
Writing, to me, is an art form. I really enjoy looking at different handwritings. Funnily enough, very ugly handwriting is also very artistic to me, but if I write in my normal handwriting, it looks very ugly to me. It doesn't have a style like ugly handwriting of doctors for example. So, I choose to do my neat one instead.
Now, if that's not anal and obsessive, I don't know what is! LOL
Do you remember the saying that all the crazy people trying to get out of the looney bin say they are sane.
The ones that insist they're crazy and want to be locked up are thrown out
What you're describing is the quantum mechanics of psychology. The effect of being observed changes the outcome.
I'm cautious of psychologists. You might think you're getting one over them, but I'd be extremely cautious of them retrospectively making discoveries or drawing conclusions.
I have my own tactics for game theory, I'd rather not share them in a broadcast medium, but I'm happy to share them face to face.
They have their own names like "The Jedi mind trick".
That one I will share. The lie you tell is so convincing that even when it is plainly obvious to the person it is not true, they believe it.
"These are not the droids you are looking for !"
"These are not the droids we are looking for! He can go about his business. Move along !"
This trick works, but you have to learn the ways of the jedi in order pull it off.
Magicians are very good at it. They tell you something and you believe it.
You know they are not actually sawing the lady in half, but you still believe it and see it as they tell it to you, even though you know it's a lie.
Even when you look at the trick, if you don't know how it's done, it is very hard to see the truth.
If you ever get the chance to play with a straight jacket, you'll find they they are easy to get out of.
The impression you're given is that you are not supposed to escape from them. Reality is that they want you to escape from them.
The straight jacket keeps crazy in and lets sane out.
What's important to me is not who the opponent is. It's about how well I know the rules that matters.
Have you read "The art of war?"
I think it's a great 101 book for Psychopaths and Machiavellians.
Yes I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

No, I haven't. What if it "unleashes" me?
I am also obsessed with the sound of this particular edition of the M3, the 1990's E36 straight-6:

I like for all TV cabinets to be exactly the same distance from the wall measured by a steel ruler, I like for all my bolts to be stopped EXACTLY the same, I like Set Screws that has the slot facing UP and Down for Stainless and mild steel east west, I Like to have all the shoes at the door and inside to be in a straight line starting from mine and the kids the other end, I like a very clean house (well the rest of the family will live in a pig pen If I was dead I Don not like messy people like my kids......Very Disappointing .........Pull my hair out, I like doing a BIG Project and starting o the top of the hour, To many to type and + you would think I was mad
I thought of another one. When populating through hole circuit boards all the resistors must be in the same way. In other words the colours must run in the same direction.

That is certainly not an obsession but a professional application that allow easy reading and checking the correct placement of the resistors for manually populated PCBs in small runs.
Same goes for other components so that the values can be read from the same viewing angle and a good PCB design allowing the placement of polarised capacitors, diodes and ICs (pin 1) pointing in the same direction, which highly reduces the margin of error.

some of you guys sound like absolute sickos!! i like it.
for me , i am obsessed with having sex with nice redheaded women , especially tall ones. my childrens mother was a petite redhead , which i was into a long time ago , but nowadays i only like the tall pelican leg types. Took me a while to find the one i have now so i appreciate it all the time. I do like checking out other women like real blondes and dark haired but redhead fantasies win every time. Luckily there is one i like down the street so i became friends with her hubby and we have regular outings and BBQs , so i can keep on perving on

I like my women young and slightly needy.
I know it can be a daunting task trying to figure out if a woman is the right age for you, but then I heard of this brilliant man who came up with a formula, which I must say, is spot on every time.
Her age should be: (your age/2) + 7, i.e. half of your age plus seven years. I've tested it out, it works every time.
And who can argue with good math?

I have to agree. I'll confess, I found my mind wandering wistfully as I read it.......
The rest of you are just plain nuts....

I also have an obsession with fonts/typefaces. I go to this online forum where people post pictures of lettering they have seen somewhere and then everyone tries to identify what font it is. Sometimes you get one or two that can really stump everyone. Especially when you get to the part where you have fonts that are extremely similar. It then becomes a case of intricate details in certain letters or number characters. Can get pretty interesting sometimes.
I love the sign-writing you used to get. Not the modern computer version, but the guys who used to go with paint and stencils and stuff and do the logo on the side of a building or something.
I also really admire those people who do engraving too, like on trophies and things. One of my favourite moments in the Rugby World Cup final is always watching the guy engrave the winning country onto the Web-Ellis trophy.
