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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 was reading a book, and my severe OCD makes it impossible for me to look up from reading if I haven't finished the page. This includes times like when my mother is frantically calling for help after falling off a ladder. FML
Today, during class, my teacher left a small mark on the whiteboard. When I pointed it out, she simply rolled her eyes and told me to, “let it go.” I have OCD and was completely unable to focus on the rest of the lesson because of the mark. FML

OCD is the worst, I feel like the white out would look worse on a photo copied page though...

"I gotta make things right Make it the way it's supposed to be It's my OCD" Rhett & Link's lyrics seems right up your alley.

You should work on your reading comprehension. The OCD is that she feels the need to rip up fallen eyelashes, not that they need to keep things tidy. Using the whiteout and taking off the "eyelash" has nothing to do with the person's OCD directly: it was to stop the OCD from triggering.

Omg even specks on my papers bother me! I try to brush them off and realize they're photocopied to the paper. I also have that problem when dust gets under screen protectors, idk how people just let it be!

OCD is a serious illness, not a phrase that you can use to explain your cute little quirks and annoyances. -_-

Exactly. I don't have OCD, but people drop that word like its nothing. People with OCD have their whole lives disrupted because of their brain. Being annoyed by an eyelash is not OCD.

I think you would have better off recopying I think the white out would be distracting as well

People throw around the term OCD far to much, this is something that bugs you that's not OCD.
