Consider this...
* Got in line behind a truck at an auto-carwash today. I haven't washed my vehicle (*cough, cough* loser cruiser *cough cough*) for well over a month. The truck directly in front of me looked like it had been washed, ummm... maybe three MINUTES before. Seriously. Shiny. Clean. And he was in line for the car wash. Did I mention how clean his truck already was???
I, on the other hand, was already semi-late for an 8:00pm appointment, and I just wanted to wash the top layer of grime off my automobile. Instead, I have to wait for this guy with the sparkly, shiny clean truck to go through the wash. No, he did not choose the Basic Wash. No, he did not choose the Premium Wash. No, he did not choose the Super Deluxe Wash. He chose the Ultimate, Super-dee-DUPER Fabo-Wash that only compulsive-freaks-whose-cars-are-already-clean choose. It's a seven-freaking-minute long wash. gah.
I have a neighbor who is kind of like this guy. He washes his truck in his driveway, all summer long, every single day. He mows his lawn, during the summer (yes, the scorching midwest summer heat), every single day.
I can't figure out people like this.
*And then there is the OTHER side of compulsive. Like this lady (thanks to Sarcomical for pointing her out!). Crazy EBay lady is the only person on this planet, except for my sister, who can make me feel like there is yet hope for me in my crusade not to be a complete, utter slob. Holy Hell in a Hand Grenade... this poor woman needs help.
Sadly, I can see how some people can get like that.

I love it when you're unreasonably GGGGrumpy!
Love crazy ebay lady!
That was the most incredible thing I have ever seen.
Wow! That was funny for a little while, then just sad. Badjason needs to get his mother some help, instead of making fun of her on the internet. On the plus side, though, I now realize I'm not doing THAT bad a job suppressing my own packrat gene.
Oh, wow. I'm with Liz - that was funny for a little while, but...yeesh.
rev: then you'd really love me now. I'm beyond GRUMPY today!
goldennib: I just kept shaking my head the whole time I saw it.
liz: I agree. I think she needs to see someone specializing in OCDs!
gg: I wonder what she thinks now that sonny boy has posted it for the world... although, you have to admit that it's a pretty loud cry for help.
If she was nominated for one of those shows like Neat or Clean Sweep, what do you think would happen?
They'd never be able to do it.
What is it about car freaks...they are always lawn freaks too!! My neighbors at our last home were ALWAYS in the yard (they were Yard of the Quarter) and they were perptually washing and waxing their cars.
What do you suppose she went through to make her like that? I'd have to guess alcoholic, abusive parents for her to stockpile such stability.
Sure you can see how someone can get like that... aren't you the one who posted something about having trouble getting rid of things at times?!... hum...
Some keep, some order, some sell!! ;-)
I can't even tell you how many people I sent that link to ... I find it deeply, deeply disturbing. I have the opposite problem - I like to throw stuff away.
