so I've seen MULTIPLE threads of people that have ocd, I want to do a little poll to get a general idea of how many people have it just out of curiosity. because I've seen on here people that have gotten a black iPhone so they can see the smuges to wipe them off instead of not being able to see them and having to wipe constantly... stuff like that:rolleyes:
it seems atleast online that apple appeals to more ocd demographic people :pI guess, because of their clean designs ect maybe not w.e
I don't have ocd and am not bothered by a scratch on my phone but I still understand why some people are
post away...
 
mememememe! with my new white macbook!

only you should make it a poll where peeps can vote ;)


EDIT o wait, u made it one
 
god sign me up for the biggest OCD freak ever. I really hate myself for being obsessed over my iphone, constantly looking at it, picking it up, inspecting it for damage/dust/scratches, wiping it down for fingerprint for that piece of MIND.
 
Just because you care A LOT about something that cost A LOT doesn't really mean you have OCD. Its called being NORMAL. Most of the time when something cost a lot to you, you take better care of it.
 
I used to be a neat freak when I was young, but not anymore. And, I sometimes wish to go back. I hate cleaning nowadays.

kinda the point I was trying to make by saying I understand but some people go farther than taking care of it, but I do understand it's expensive so people like to keep it nice...
 
Anyone who reads forums about their phone has to be somewhat obsessed. That doesn't necessarily make them OCD unless they have multiple browsers open with a different thread on each monitor and compulsively refresh each to make sure they catch all the posts, but who would do that...:rolleyes:
 
I love stuff scattered and disorganized.

I love having everything out in the open where I can see it.

I hate stuff put away neatly because I can't find anything.

Love chaos and randomness..


As for smudges I just use a matter screen protector.
 
I hate when people use OCD so casually. You not liking fingerprints or cleaning your phone a lot does not mean you have OCD. If it starts running your life to the point where you can no longer function every day, then you can start saying you have OCD. Until then, you just like cleanliness. :mad:

Relative to what one considers costing a lot, I consider anything made in China to be cheap. Regardless, I think the iphone is a great gadget/phone and its probably because that it is made in China that I and many others own one.
 
I do, well maybe just slighty :D

*Dangit, what is the first step in recovery again? :rolleyes:

I love my iPhone and MacPro :apple:;)
 
I definitely have OCD. ESPECIALLY about my Apple products. Look up some threads I've started and you'll see.

Anyways... yeah, I have self diagnosed that I have selected OCD. It's only about certain things. I become obsessed to the point where it's ridiculous. I really should stop worrying... it can't be good for me.
 
I feel a need to post a pic of a bunny.

Me wiping my phone every few hours and cleaning it with alcohol daily has nothing to do with OCD. I just like my phone clean. All my other stuffs are basically f'ed up beyond recognition and barely usable.:cool:
