Check this out. This poor Federal employee has got to be the worst case of OCD I've ever seen. Makes you wonder about USPS efficiency.

LOL.
How many times does he have to check that to know it is empty?
Nobody has dropped mail in while he was there.
Maybe it will magically appear?

I guess he has quite the job security. Can you imagine having an employee like that? (We all pay taxes, so I guess he is our employee...)

Short of an assembly line job, I can't see any marketable advantage for a guy like that.

I tried downloading the video, but right at the very end I realized it was in the wrong location so I aborted it and tried again. Then I downloaded the video, but right at the very end I realized I did it kinda wrong somehow so I aborted it and tried again. Then I downloaded the video, but right at the very end I realized it was going to the wrong disk drive so I aborted it and tried again. Then I downloaded the video, but right at the very end I realized I wasn't paying attention while it was downloading so I aborted it and tried again. Then I downloaded the video, but right at the very end I realized I hadn't organized all my other videos so I aborted it and tried again. Then I downloaded the video, but right at the very end I realized I hadn't cleared room for it so I aborted it and tried again. Then I downloaded the video, but right at the very end I realized my room was messy so I aborted it and tried again. Then I downloaded the video, but right at the very end I realized I hadn't locked my door right so I aborted it and tried again. Then I downloaded the video, but right at the very end I realized I hadn't logged on to Free Republic in 5 minutes so I aborted it and tried again.

I have a close personal friend that is OCD. This stuff is very real to them. Some can barely function in society as this video clearly shows. The movie "Aviator" about Howard Hughes is a good example. My friend is brilliant but has trouble in public.

I have been diagnosed with OCD. Not much of a struggle, except I have the cleanest carpet in my apartment building.

That's what makes it so frustrating to deal with them. If you ask them to justify their actions, they'll actually try to do so.

I have this habit where I will see a word, or a license plate, or a series of numbers, and I'll count the pen strokes it takes to write it out. Then, I'll continue to imagine writing it out in sets of three or four, or five, etc. pen strokes, until I get it to end the word with no leftover pen strokes. (It sucks when it's a prime number- you can NEVER get it right!) I'll do this over and over in my mind while driving, or having a conversation, or watching TV, etc.

I started this when I was maybe 12 or 13. I'm now 37. I probably know my times tables and basic division better than anybody.

Needless to say, I'm a real blast at parties.
