Obsessive compulsive disorder anyone?

I think you're all very cruel to mock this genius of marketing information. His previous gems include the directions for use of a fabulous 'Veet for Men' product. Here is some feedback direct from the Amazon site, it's well worth a read

What's the opposite of OCD? Whatever it is, that's what I think I've got.

Don't forget to turn the light switch on and off 36 times or a loved one might die!

fluoxetine would help that chap out ​

Never heard of that mouthwash..........is it expensive?

 

[MartinK9]

I recognise that syndrome ~ my stuff usually arrives about midday on Friday and has to be checked and processed before I can leave for the Meet . Hopefully the order I'm expecting tomorrow will arrive in good time .


:thinkerg::thinkerg: You could always order some milk and / or cream online ~ after all, you're waiting in for other deliveries anyway :sad6: :evilangel:

Thanks Phil,

I'll wait until 1800hrs then pop out.

I still have Thurs and' if required; Fri to stay in for them.

Its wonderful. I use a pencil sharpener for the times I have not got my 24" machete on me. (It does not fit in my college bag.)

When I was at school we had those mechanical ones.

You know, insert pencil, turn handled ferociously for a minute.

Voila! No more pencil!

I am pretty sure that was not the right way to do it but it was astheticaly pleasing which is the main thing.

These days I have a pencil stub; I made a pencil extender from rolled up paper; you may buy the metal ones in WHSmiths but they are expensive.

It's serious business Karl. I could spot 3 flaws in the photo of the pencil! lolz

3? I got 4 possibly 5 flaws. The possible 5th one was related to a previous flaw so Cld be discounted as part of the same flaw hence my 4 or 5 flaws.comment.

Btw I've not got ocd but have been accused of having adhd. Personally I think I have both and more besides. You shld see me concentrating on something. Funny I've been told.

I think most men have a degree of ocd. If they didn't we wouldn't have skyscrapers and such. If this guy was that serious about pencil sharpening we all know rule number one would have been to remove the blade and strop it to perfection before a pencil came near it!

That pencil sharpening bloke is quite clearly broken, please don't feed him.

I used to obsess about things. But I now live by Ron Wood a wilderness instructor from America's philosophy of close enough is good enough.

I don't think there's a place for OCD in bushcraft. There is, however, a lot of autism on here I reckon.

wow...this guy is my kind of bloke,...

i have a pencil thing myself,....

i always work in pencil in my day book, so,...

i buy tesco 30 tesco eraser topped HB pencils every week. (99p)

I sharpen them with a UKPK, and stand them in a coffee cup on my desk

i put one next to my pad before the phones get turned over into day mode,...

and begin,...

when its unusable i throw it in the bin, and pull out a new one and continue,...

when they're gone i panic,..but 30 usually see me thru the week.

and i cant use one if the eraser had come off.

yellow is my favoured colour

but i,m running a batch of green ones at the moment and i'm handling it ok...

the wife once bought me 30 red and silver pinstriped ones from ASDA ,..already sharpened,.....and no erasers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it really interferred with my chi and i had to bin them,....

it sounds extravagant and if anyone says "give the old ones to a workmate" dont go there,...

cos then i can see them being used around the building by other people who sharpen them incorrectly and use them with no erasers on and that really bothers me.

if i dont do this the day does not go well,

i also have a cup of filter coffee every hour , black, no sugar, in the grey cup!!! the grey one god damn it woman!!!! dont bring me my coffee in that red cup ever again,!!!

i dont care if Colin from Head office is visiting and youve allocated my grey cup to him,..... give HIM the red one !!!!

oh and i have to staple the order slips to invoices with the staple at 45 degrees,

i even did a power point slide of where the staple must be located on the invoice, and gave my team a copy for reference.

any rouge stapling affects their bonuses and booze allowance at the xmas party,..

aaaand breathe,...


thanks,....

haha i feel like Drew,....but with a slightly better layout and grammar

 

[Bushwhacker]

Whatever you do folks, do not give Raikey pieces of card labelled "A5", "B2", "C1", "D4" and "E3" and ask him to put them in order. His head will explode.
