Being anal, that is, anal retentive. Who here also can't function if everything's not just right?

Depends on the situation, really.Originally Posted by Gillamobster
With most things, I'm surprisingly cool. I have some pretty strong opinions and I can't stand it if people can't even see my point of view in a situation some small way.
I'm really opinionated, but if something bothers me, I usually roll my eyes, give some remark and get on with it.
Only sometimes do I have to really force my way in to get things the way I want them. And why the Hell not? I think everybody needs stuff done their own way sometimes.
I do get really pissed off if something I'm really strongly against is taking place anywhere near me and I'll go into total anti-social mode.
But aye, for the most part, I don't really care enough about things being "just right". It would be nice, sure, but I accept that life isn't like that.

I was the holder of the highest amount of rep that ever lived on TFF. 1788. lolz. I ween.
I'm not really anal retentive or much of a perfectionist. my room is almost always in constant disarray and there is so much crap on my desk that it's slightly embarrassing.
my organizational skills consist of having a plastic 3 drawer Sterilite container next to my desk. top drawer is like office supplies and my checkbook. middle is old receipts and important documents. last it odds and ends. it'd take me a good hour to find a particular receipt.
to be fair though everything does have a place, sort of. the clothes are all in a pile together. my books (before i sold them back) were all on top of my mini fridge and my clean stuff was kind of assorted into piles in my drawers.
other than that, i'm kind of anal about when i play sports, mainly baseball and softball, my two sports of choice. i'll get down on myself if i miss a play or of i strike out or hit a ball poorly. i'll also get upset with my teammates if they miss an easy ball or don't listen to what everyone on the field is telling them to do, like throwing to the wrong base, or not covering properly. i usually get over it pretty quickly with others, but not so much myself. i'm trying to get better about that though.

It might just be the skanks I associate with, but I have never had too much trouble. You just have to tell them you love them.
Hey! Read my movie blog! http://centralfloridafilmcritic.blogspot.com
I need things done my way. If I don't have it my way, I'll go quite the bonkers. I don't particulary mean in tidiness, but in almost everything. I hate being in rooms with doors open, or having a light on whilst I'm in bed. If a person wants to keep a door open whilst I'm in the room, I will make them either go into a different room with a door open, or I will storm into a different room myself. No one in my house can have a light on whilst I'm sleeping, even if it's a light downstairs. I would still see that light, and it would irritate me.
Also, I need things orientated and organised my way. Like "Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, that mirror over there is slanted!!" or, "OH CRAP! THAT PENCIL RESTING ON THE TABLE OVER THERE ISN'T STRAIGHT!!" - That kind of thing. I'm far too dramatic with it, but I can't help it. If something isn't right, I'll become aggitated and uncomfortable, and I'll need to change it. It's the same with music, too. You can't make me not listen to the end of a song or switch off a song whilst I'm in the middle of listening to it, or it will irrate me for the rest of the day. Sometimes, after I'm about to finish up with my laptop and turn everything off, I'll still have a song playing on Windows Media Player. So I close every other window, and then I'll sit there doing nothing whilst I wait for the song to finish, regardless of how much time of the song is left.
So, basically, I'm a control freak..
I'm exactly the same. I can't have lights on, it annoys me so much sleep becomes impossible.
My room is generally organised and neat. I hate clutter and such. My shelves all house a specific type of item, like books on one shelf, keepsakes on one shelf, my games and DVDs on another. I flip if something is on the wrong shelf, and I also flip when someone places an item on the incorrect shelf.
My files on my computer are all organised into very specific folders to make it easier to find them. Some files have duplicates because they belong in two or more folders. They also have names which tell me exactly what they are. So no "101_PARA65.jpg". More like "Landscape of Plantation Beach, QLD 2007.jpg" for every single file. Songs are all properly named, and have the correct album artwork. I get agitated when it's not that way. The minute someone puts a file on my computer for me, and doesn't name it properly or sort it, I force them to do so, or take over. I'm strange like that.

I'm anally pessimistic. I focus on everything that can go wrong, from every aspect, what could happen, what a person could do to me, and all of the consequences there of.
On the positive side, I'm either always right or, pleasantly surprised.
It's pretty self destructive though, because I ALWAYS focus on the bad. I almost have no time to see the upside. Granted, I've had a lot of crap on my plate lately, but still, I can't...just...don't worry...be happy.
Oh. I still have to leave places with my left foot exiting last. I don't even know why.
I used to be a control freak about cleanliness in my apartments...I mean, like everything everywhere was organized, from apples in line to not a speck of dust. Anywhere. Since I haven't had a place of my own for, oh, awhile, I really don't ****ing care anymore. Everything just kind of goes. You can't make much of a mess if you don't have much to make a mess with.
Oh, and on the other aspect....
1) I'm constantly constipated
2) The outhole, is not an inhole. Ever. That's why I have that other part down there. Or it was for stashing illegal things

I remember when you were happy with a RADISH.
What asshole complained about the other anal thread?
You know fiber can take care of that problem. Try some Raisin Bran...or prunes.
And to answer your question from the other thread Gillamobster, condoms are good for 'that' problem.
Oh, and make sure to use lots of lube.
By the way, is there a reason you're asking? Are you looking for some advice on trying 'that'?

It must just be the skanks love. Myself and my friends operate a Never In Through the Out Door policy. A few of them have done it, most of us are too squeamish. It always seems to be either meek or insane women that go for it, the two ends of the mentality scale, with the curious scattered about Maybe you associate with lots of meek/insane wiminz. Or maybe you're just a superb ass-charmer? Who knows.
Nice pun, Gilla.
Wow, has this thread diverged into two totally separate and various discussions.
To the first, to theoretically be the textbook definition of Anal Retentive a situation similar to having had messed myself during potty training and in the midst of my embarrassment, be punished/ridiculed by my parents or siblings, which instilled in me a need for cleanliness due to a fear of embarrassment or inadequacy/being-disgusting.
I assure you that nothing of the kind happened. That being said, I prefer things clean. They make things easier for me to think and contemplate. Ever try to do homework in a messy room? I hate it. My mind relies on normalcy to function well. If I don't have to worry about my surroundings, then I can concentrate.
As to the second discussion. It's really not my thing. Not to be Anal Retentive, but Anal is just a tad bit unsanitary for both participants. I suppose using a condom would take steps towards eliminating that problem...but hmm, still, it isn't the most appealing idea.

There is a certain amount of talking them into it that has to be done. I feel I am pretty good at manipulating people into doing what I want when I really put my mind to it.
Sinister, you have to try it. You will swear off of vanilla sex. And, dare I say it, it is a domination thing too. (Only if they are into it, obviously).
Why was the other thread closed? It makes no sense. We have had threads about vanilla sex and masturbation. The stormtroopers strike again.
I wouldn't be described as anally retentive. As far as going with the flow, I am on top of that. If one looked at the state my my car and my house, one would understand I am not retentive at all.
Hey! Read my movie blog! http://centralfloridafilmcritic.blogspot.com
You know I closed it cause I got 4 requests of people saying they didn't want a thread about it right? I mean not a single person was bothered by wacking off or a regular sex thread but apparently this crossed the line. Personally whatever works, but if the consensus says it's too much then I don't see what's wrong with taking it down.
This is me most of the time when I'm nervous. I'm not usually an anal person, but I do get pretty picky when I'm working in groups. It's probably just because I'm a bossy control freak, but when I'm working with other people (friends of no), I end up getting obsessed with every detail of everything that anyone does unless I'm thoroughly pissed off at the entire group. I tone it down lots with friends, but I'm still careful when I do things alone.
That's only with projects or working type things. I couldn't care less about how or what people do when whatever it is they're doing is anything else. If someone's cooking, cleaning, or just minding their own business around me, I don't do anything to intrude.
I'm only obsessive when it comes to school it seems. I have no motivation to make an effort about anything else.
Hmmm...not the kind of anal I was expecting, but none the less I have an answer for this too, lol. Generally I am a happy person, however, there are some people in this world that piss me off to no end. Bad drivers: people that don't use thier blinkers, pull out infront of you only to slow down even more, people that insist on stopping to make a turn....I could go on an on. An then there is the human population in general: People that had enough money to feed 50 kids, but not enough to get a house big enough for all of them, people who let their kids get away with everything an anything. There are also things that are not so big that I get angry at......people taking too long, laziness, people not getting up until 12 in the afternoon (I can understand if you have a night job or something of that nature).
I think all in all I tend to be very laid back though.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that this was a lewd post about certain things from the bedroom, teehee. But to answer your question, ehh not really I guess. I'm a pretty easygoing person and it doesn't take much to get along with me, and I think that I respect others' ways enough to let them do their own thing. I think that the only time I get really anal about stuff is when something interrupts my life schedule that I do not find very important, but others do and they decide for me to take care of things their way instead of allowing me to take care of the situation in my own way.
For the second situation, I have never tried anal, or any other sex position for that matter, lol. But to me, anal is a pretty big turnoff and I would not ever want to do that, so yeah.

Hmm, yea maybe. But a great share of my enjoyment I get from sex is based upon Olivia's and I just don't think she would enjoy that. Plus, I'm not the dominating type, quite the reverse, actually. I'm more her slave than otherwise. Maybe when Olivia and I finally decide to have a threesome with a friend, I'll try it. ...

That last part was a joke.

Well, that doesn't mean it can't still happen. Think about it. Its called pegging.
I loled today. I checked my rep, and my positive rep in the other anal thread now read N/A. It wasn't enough to close it, it was vaporized. Just like in 1984.
I am going to get three other people with me to complain about the emo thread in Intellectual Discussion, since that is how things work around here. Except, you know, it won't.
My first roommate in college was retentive. That is part of why I broke my lease six months in and became a couch hopper.
However, I do some things this way. My books are organized by authors last name, DVD's organized by director, and CD's organized by artist. My game collection (Which consists of Final Fantasies, Madden, and Grand Theft Auto) is organized alphabetically.
However, my schoolwork is a mess. I have a half inch binder. Just one. I just throw the papers in, not even put in the pockets or anything. It works because the latest stuff is always on top, like a term paper.
Hey! Read my movie blog! http://centralfloridafilmcritic.blogspot.com
I loled at that. I'm going to give you rep for that, if not now, someday. I suppose that IS technically possible, and if she did ask...well...this is not the place to wash linen of that sort or something *blushes*
But either way, duly noted. lol
As far as retention goes, very few people I've met have been that way. I like it, I think it is an interesting trait, although not when taken to the level of OCD(lol, MONK), but it's still a useful and welcome trait in a roommate.

I guess this forum's got a lot of little bitches.
It's clearly a problem when you have 10 year olds viewing this forum, IMO.
Now, answering the topic. I am a bit retentive in some aspects, but not as much as my mom. She is like.. the queen of retentive people. She has to have everything in a particular order. Books, furniture.. everything. She wont even let me help her move things around because she wants it in a particular order. It's really annoying especially when she claims I don't try to help out >_<.
**** ten year-olds. We shouldn't have to baby-proof the internet.
