I did the same.


I stepped ON them.

As I remember, the 'reasoning' went something like: If one segment suddenly collapses - and falls into the lava below - I'd still be safe. ( I read lots of books about volcanoes, tornadoes, etc.

)

I blame everything on my dad! Freud would be proud!
Back when I was 7 or so, he stashed some glowing charcoal under a rock, and excitedly called me over. "OMG, there's a VOLCANO coming!" I don't remember much after that, but I apparently spent the next few hours is a state of abject panic. (According to Mom, who wasn't exactly thrilled...)

My definition of OCD (for this discussion) is changing the oil filter 1/2 way thru the oci.

OCD would be removing the filter 12 times until you got it just right in alignment for the markings ..then doing it again just to make sure.

Several months ago, OCD was defined as:
Tossing and turning at 3AM wondering: "Should I dash to the garage and drain the killer M1 5W-30 before it destroys my valve gear?!"

 

[LoneRanger]

OCD me?... nah. I'm just somewhere between perfectionist and extra attention to detail. At least with my cars.
