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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my financial situation is so dire that I tried to steal toilet paper from work. I got caught. FML
Today, I went to take a piss in a public bathroom. Somehow, I managed to completely jam the lock. After minutes of trying to get myself out, I gave up and crawled under the stall, at which point someone walked in and was very surprised to see me on the floor. FML
Today, before leaving my house, I OCD-checked all of my doors 16 times to make sure that they were locked. When I got home, my house had been broken into. Turns out I accidentally unlocked my front door when trying to lock it for the last time. This is why I have OCD. FML
Today, I had no choice but to use a porta potty. I was happy to get a clean one. I wasn't happy when a young child tried opening the door and used enough force to break the lock, showing me sitting on the toilet to the world. FML
Today, thanks to some asshole with a padlock, I got trapped in porta potty for over an hour. FML
Today, I was put in lockup for accidentally scaring the officer by lifting my hand to scratch my head. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my own shop. And I'm a locksmith. FML
Today, I was fed up with things being taken from my room so I installed a key-locking handle on my door. I installed everything but the door knobs, and because I was worried that I would put the two of them on backwards, I closed the door to check. I'm now locked in my room. FML
Today, I decided to use the disabled toilet in work to get a little extra privacy while I did my business. The cleaners who unlocked the door from the outside and barged in on me were nice and waited until I finished to apologize and explain there were complaints the door had been locked for days. FML
Today, I was at the gym. At the end of my workout, I realised I lost the bundle of keys I had in my pocket that contained the key to my locker with all my stuff. I panic and start looking for them. After an hour of desperate searching, I find them thrown in the bottom of the public toilet. Thanks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Who caught you??

It's hard to live with, yes. Hell, it's hard watching someone you love struggle with it. It's not something to be rude about. People who suffer from OCD have a choice: Panic attack, or doing domething about the object of their frustration.. Obviously there is a correct, or at least best, choice. Most of them don't inconvenience strangers at all, and try not to inconvenience people closer to them.

That's just creepy if someone watched you while you were picking on the lock. What the hell is gonna happen next? They are gonna crawl under and in the stall with you and ask you if you need help?

When you said picking on the lock, I imagined OP calling a lock names.

I have CDO. It's the same as OCD, but it is in the proper alphabetical order like it needs to be. And, yes, the toilet paper needs to come off the top of the roll. Why do you think they put that print on the outside, if you were just going to ruin it by unrolling it upside down and looking at the ugly side? Good on you, mate, we need to get the barbarians of the world to learn how to correctly install TP!

Darn janitorial crew

Ugh! I know! I hate it when the paper comes From the bottom. Must be sitting on the top, especially so it doesn't hang when you've pulled it off and you never know who's used their nasty hands to roll it back into place! My bf used to put it on the dispenser from the bottom. :( that had to change

There is no wrong way around. Just different opinions on which way is correct.

From a hygiene point of view there actually IS a right and a wrong way... When you let the paper hang free at the back, so against the wall, it's unhygienic, since people then tend to brush their fingers across the wall right where the paper is hanging. If you think further, you'll realise that you sometimes need to get paper twice or even more. The fingers you then have just used to wipe your behind, will then once again touch the wall....... Disgusting idea, if you ask me.

OCD do you know what that means? ObsessiveCompulsive Disorder(or something like that.) But it means they have to correct everything they see that is wrong. like have you ever seen Monk? He has OCD.

It was a bathroom. Bathrooms have locks. There didn't have to be any risk.

I can completely understand that... if it's not the right way, it just bugs me to no end. Though... I wonder how you got caught doing that... guess you made too much noise, and someone came in to see what was up, perhaps?

Exactly! Were there camera's in that stall? There must be a serious shortage in toilette paper in order to take such grand steps of protecting it where ever OP lives.

Yeah, she was either making too much noise, or left the stall door open because she couldn't "start" until the toilet paper was right. 47-Maybe people stole it often before the locks were put in place. It does cost money to buy and replace.
