My peccadillo's are my own
I've seriously thought of seeking professional help for some of these problems, but then I always think that would make me a freak to officially have something wrong, so I just deal with it. So here are my OCDs:
1. When I sit down to eat, the utinsils must be perfectly alligned and spaced. And they must not have been touched by another person. They need to be wrapped up when they get to me, and I have to unwrap them. Not so bad, but kinda weird.
2. This one comes and goes, but I swear that I can see germs. Like if See someone use my phone or touch my keyboard, I can see all the nasty germs and crap they leave behind. Then I have to break out the cleaning supplies and clean everything they touched. But then everything else looks dirty... This dosent happen all the time, but when it gets bad its really bad.
3. I have to lock doors 3 times.
4. There are only a few people whom I can tolerate to touch me. If someone else touches me the feeling of being touched dosent go away until I scratch it or even sometimes have to wash it. I've tried to make myself not scratch it, but it literally puts me into a panic.
Now that I'm reading those 4 things, Im thinking maybe I am kind of a freak...

same here. Never had to wash though - but sometimes I have to go outside and "get some air."
I'm a neat freak too. Though I work really really hard avoiding compulsions. Obsession is another matter ;-) My house is a mess right now and it's always in the back of my head. No matter what I do I always feel it's a mess.
I also rearrange my furniture frequently. to the dismay of the roommate.
My current roommate is a slob though - can't wait till classes resume so my old one will come back and move in
I put my clothes on in the same order. Boxers, socks, shirt.
I HATE throw rugs. Anytime, anywhere, if one has a corner flipped, is wrinkled, isn't evenly placed in its area... I have to fix it.

I am obsessive with my iTunes library. Everything right down to the ID3 tags has to be perfect! If I see anything gramatically incorrect I freak out
