I have OCD ( Obsessive – Compulsive Disorder ) but not real extreme. At least I don’t think I do. If you ask my friends they might say I go a little overboard which inspired this blog post.
When I buy a new game I want it to last a long time and try to take good care of it. I show the games to friends and family and try to get them to play. While we are playing the game I watch and cringe at how my game gets treated. That is where the OCD kicks in!
If hands aren’t CLEAN and getting cards dirty I get upset. I just bought this game and already its getting messed up! The table we are playing on better be clean and not sticky! It doesn’t have to be real clean just nothing that will mess up the game. Pieces to the game should be treated with some respect to the owner of it. I mean DON”T and I repeat DON”T put the pieces in your mouth or near it. This comes up more than you might think, especially with cards. I just spent my own money on this game so don’t treat it like crap.
I let others know when it is getting bad for me. Most of the time they can tell by the look on my face. I try to keep from screaming when it gets really bad. I do think I’m getting better though. People put up with me and continue to play so all is good.
I know what you mean I have a friend who does not understand that its not good to chew on risk minis and rub his feet with cards in munchkin its gets really annoying.
Is this friend’s name Steven by chance?
Hmmm chicken time
