Health: Today, I got a steering wheel cover to stop my obsessive steering...

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

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, 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

Cool kid

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

That's nuts

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

Baby don't drive my car

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, I was caught and fined for picking a lock. I have OCD. I was picking the padlock on a toilet paper holder in a public toilet because the roll was the wrong way round. FML

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.

You need to learn some self control and stop making excuses. YDI.

I did the same thing! I don't pick at the steering wheel; it was just to keep from messing it up. The cover was crooked, but that only mildly bothered me. Then my dad tried to fix it, and he ripped it. So now it's straight, but it's ripped in the back. Can't win em all.

Tell you what, pay me what you're paying your psychiatrist and I'll hit you on the head & shout "stop that". Your treatment is obviously not working.

What the heck picking at the steering mean? *so confusing*

Picking at the steering wheel is when you use your nails to rip off pieces of it. It's quite messy, and I'm sure it can be very painful for your nails.

No. I was answering his question. It may not have been worded correctly, but it doesn't mean he shouldn't receive an answer. I don't care for trolls. Go check your eyes.

Whoops, my apologies #80, I misread your comment and I thought that you were directing it at me. It's been a long night and I'm a little out of it. It is I who must check my eyes.
