OCD? ...I Disagree

Hey friends. I know I haven't written in a while, but something has been irking me lately.

I was walking down the street and counting my steps between cracks in the pavement because I inherently prefer them to be an even number when I remembered something: That behavior is obsessive-compulsive.
While I do think that the behavior of people with OCD is fascinating, and to some degree completely mesmerizing, it's got nothing to do with what I want to call to attention here.

A ton of people have obsessive compulsive traits, whether it's hand-washing, putting on clothing in a certain order, or refusing to walk out a different door that you walked in (I think there's a silly sex joke in here somewhere, I'm just not gonna go for it right now), and all these things are fine by me.

But here's what gets me.

Some of you assholes will compulsively do something in front of me and then apologize and say "Ugh, sorry, I'm really OCD."

No you're not.
You are not Obsessive-compulsive Disorder.
You may have tendencies relating to it or have symptoms of the disorder, but you are not a disorder.
Stop being dumb.
Learn to use words.



Of course, maybe this is all a compulsion of mine, but if you take issue with that, kindly shut up.
