Answers:
Well!. I am OCD, and when I am in a class room I have to tell the teacher to erase Little marks on the board that they may have missed!.
It is kind of embarrassing, but I just learn to laugh it off!. I have to ask them to do it or I like dig up my arms!.!.!.how weird am I!. Ha ha!.
Oe time in the middle of class I just stood up and erased a bit of the bored while my teacher was talking, and just turned around and sat back down!.

What can I say!.
It had to be done!.

Just A Little Side Note:
About the people who are thinking this question is insensative!. I have to disagree, sometimes people have to be able to laugh at the little things that make them different!. Yeah sure OCD can cause people some SERIOUS depression and ruin lives!. But in some cases, people can do things that are pretty outragous, and if us people with OCD can't recognize that and laugh a little about it and take it all too too seriously, then it will simply drive us insane instead!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I don't know if I'd call them funny (as someone with OCD, it's not funny)!. I have this thing about pens being lined up, and I have this thing about socks being even, and bookshelves having the spines lined up!. I have to eat foods in certain orders (oreos: cream then cookie; teddy grahams: ears, arms, legs, head, body; stroganoff: pasta then meat; etc!.), I have things about odd numbers (as in, I hate them), I have bunches of OCD things!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

To be fair to those with the full-blown disorder, I have OCD features!. I ritualize and compulse!.

Funny!.!.!.hmm!.!.!.well I have a funny story that resulted from a compulsion; I was on vacation, and we were staying with some family friends!. At this point, my OCD was going undiagnosed, and I was not doing anything to control it!. Let's just put it this way, it was out of control!. So I was sleeping in my friend's room!. I had to count the steps on the way to her room, but when I got in, I realized I hadn't done enough!. This didn't bother me too much until we were all in bed (her, me and my sister)!. So I claimed I had to use the restroom, so I could take the steps properly!.

You know how some people have mirrors at the end of their hallways to make the house look bigger!? Well they had one of those!. So it's really dark, and I can only vaguely make out images, so I see the mirror, and think it is the hall continuing!. BAM! I slammed right into the mirror!. My nose was pretty bruised, and I woke up everyone in the entire house!. It was pretty funny then too!.

But sure, I think everyone with OCD has some odd rituals!. I, for example, have to take seven toilet paper peices, then another two!. I'm getting better on that one, though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

my mom has it!. she has it about plucking out hairs [like eyebrows bikini and legs] and popping zits!. its really annoying and she can be gross about it, she will pop them in the car at a stop light, or in public!. she doesn't care who sees her! and she always points out peoples hair and zits too like if you get one she will want to pop itWww@Answer-Health@Com

i don't think it is ever funny when a person has a serious mental illness that they have no control over!. it is very sad, and i think the question is a bit on the mean side!. can you imagine how you would feel if it were you that people were laughing at!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
