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?

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.

I totally get the OCD toilet paper thing. I have a similar thing about bog roll (I don't have OCD, however). My question is: why was there a frikkin' PADLOCK on the toilet roll holder?! Seriously? Are they defending against the Bog Roll Bandit or something?

OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder In many people it can cause panic attacks, extreme irritation etc unless the object they are obsessing about is changed/fixed so it's the way they feel it needs to be Example:toilet paper is hanging from the bottom, someone feels that it needs to be banging from the top, they freak out and attempt to pick the lock on the roll holder to fix it....Or they panic and could panic enough that they have an anxiety attack, which I'm told is a similar feeling to a heart attack You should check out the show 'obsessed' or do some research using the interwebz

I have a hard time believing this. Being that I have OCD and have studied it extensively. Mainly. OCD has nothing to do with vandalism and unless you have the type of OCD where you need to be institutionalized for, you wouldn't go to such great lengths to attempt to flip the roll. Because you can just walk away and do some rituals to calm you down. Whereas if the rituals you perform afterwards are so harsh that you feel the need to avoid them to these lengths, then yes I suggest an institution. But then. If this is real. BAHAHA genius.
