Today, I got a steering wheel cover to stop my obsessive steering wheel picking. After putting it on, I realized it was crooked, causing me to have OCD fits every time I drive. I can still pick at the steering wheel around the cover. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a new set of acrylic nails put on. While driving home, I had an urge to pick my nose. My car then went over a speed-bump. I now feel like my brain is bleeding. FML
Today, my car was broken into. What was stolen? My steering wheel. FML
Today, I found out that my anxiety disorder has escalated to where I now scratch and pick at my face while asleep. Now I get to sleep with oven mitts taped to my hands. FML
Today, the skin-picking disorder that I’ve had under control for a long time came back with a vengeance. I’m ashamed and embarrassed of how I look now, but the worst part was realizing that the time I spent picking was the most I’ve enjoyed anything in years. FML
Today, I found out why everyone stares at my car when I turn a corner. My power steering squeals, and it sounds like a screaming child. I don't have enough money to fix it right now. FML
Today, I realized how bad my OCD is when I accidentally got a paper cut and I was annoyed by the fact that the cut wasn't in a straight line. FML
Today, I finally got my car back after it was in the auto shop for a week. On my way home, I started swerving all over the road. It turns out they didn't tighten the lug nuts on one of my wheels properly. FML
Today, I drove through a drive-through car wash. The steering wheel turned left on it own. I was pretty sure the railing guided the car but my stupid ass turned the wheel to the other side and popped the car off the rails. It crashed into one of the machines and now I have a huge dent to the front of the car. FML
Today, my OCD reached a new high when I used a correction pen to white-out an eyelash which was photocopied onto every single page of my reading material. I did it because the eyelash was too distracting and I couldn't finish reading the article without the urge to rip it into shreds. FML
Today, my enjoyment of popping bubble wrap was yet again ruined by my excessive OCD tendencies. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, can't you return the one you have and exchange it for a different, bigger one?

Super glue it, haha! But seriously, maybe you should talk to someone about how to manage this; I understand it's a serious issue and you want to feel as safe and comfortable as possible while operating a motor vehicle.

what is wheel picking and what does it have to do with your nails ? I understand it's a manifestation of ocd, but I just can't imagine what exactly OP is doing

Digging her nails into the steering wheel and gouging pieces off. Cutting her nails short would make it harder.

Thought someone else might ask but, what exactly is 'steering wheel picking'? Is it like ripping little bits off the steering wheel? Is that a thing? o.O

My steering wheel has a plastic core and a firm foam around the core so its easy and comfortable to handle. It even has a ballooned out part at 9-3 position to keep my hands at the right place. I assume she's ripping the foam off her steering wheel and will eventually get to the hard plastic core.

Ahh those nice little OCD quirks. Be thankful, I pluck my eyelashes make this weird noise with my mouth.

I pluck my eyelashes too! I never met someone who also did that.

As so many other posts: this is not OCD. It's like biting your nails, and that's not worth an FML.

Try and get help for your OCD, it could get pretty dangerous when driving. And exchange the cover for a bigger one.
