I take eggs out of the carton from both ends so that the remaining eggs are symmetrical in the center. But I do tolerate an odd number of eggs remaining so I guess not a severe case.

That pile of magazines had better be cleanly stacked and parallel with the edges of the coffee table, am I right?
I have some of it for sure. And my wife has whatever the opposite is. It keeps things...interesting.
I am oppositional and contrary, obsessively. That doesn't help anything.
It's not a big deal if you do that stuff. It's a big deal if you CAN'T NOT do it.
I do the exact same thing with y eggs
^^^ I start at one end, and work toward the other. Any other way is just weird.
All light switches must be in the down/off position as I head to bed.
Recently moved into a new place and had to change 4 switches that the electrician didn't have set to be down/off (is that called a 3-way when you have two switches for the dining light?).
My wife doesn’t have ocd
She just has superior organizational skills
- stereo volume set by 5s
- zero shortcuts or files on my computer desktop
- the egg carton thing
- silverware organized going into the dishwasher (in general dishwasher organization is a big one)

I certainly am not the life of any party, but I always get the invite cause when shit goes sideways, I am the one that keeps his shit together and gets the group outa the soup.
But ya, one old roommate from many moons ago used to call me old straightedge. I suppose that's a step up from blockhead kraut.
These are just personal habits,not OCD
OCD is an anxiety disorder characterized by uncontrollable, unwanted thoughts and ritualized, repetitive behaviors you feel compelled to perform.
