You just don't mess with people's routine, I used to be first in so it was simple.

My OCD is off the record, a friend freaked out the other day when she looked in my fridge, her comment "Wow, your fridge is more organised than my life".

I have work socks that are embroidered Monday through Friday.

I noticed one Tuesday morning I had my Thursday socks on. I went home and changed them.

Don't OCD me. :lol:

I came in yesterday and I was on the phone to my daughter when I've come around the corner and gone "oh dear, this isn't good", daughter says "Is someone in your spot?" The answer was yes.

I walked in and seen her manager and said "Gee, someone is messing with my OCD" He knew straight away what had happened and began laughing.

He then said "I'll go let her know, problem is, she parked in my spot yesterday so I had to point that out to her despite me telling her the day before that there's no designated spots".

When I first started a chick told me that it's open slather, I parked in her spot on day two and it was like I shat on her windscreen, I've had the same spot since day 3 and my car was generally the guide for everyone else's spot unitl recently with my later journey to the office.

New girl has the spot next to mine now and everyone is happy.


I'd love to see a documentary-style show about your office

Been there done that, paid a free kick against a dude I was umpiring because he had Thursday dacks on.

I can't buy day socks any more.

I won't put a sock of mine or my son's in the washing unless it has it's friend with it, makes it hard for him as he rarely wears matching socks.

Ask for them to change it, has to be divisible by 5.

It was like a morgue when I started here, and no one liked me because I had worked for the opposition, a couple of work shows and some improper innuendo and it's very happy place now, I call us Temu Seconds. I have the most stressful, constant role here but I love it, I love a challenge and love helping people out when they think there is no hope in achieving the near impossible.

I'm with you, but I must say that getting a new TV and soundbar where it doesn't display the volume at all (just a plus and minus sign when you turn it up or down) has been liberating.
