A new coworker informed me that she had OCD, as she busily arranged the papers, etc. on MY desk. I told her we would call it Compulsive Obsessive Disorder, then I could just call it cod. Made her angry, but I never heard about her personality disorder again.
People used to have character flaws. Now they have medically dismissible “disorders.”
Years ago when I was starting in a new development group, they flew everyone to one city for a bit meetup. I sat down next to one guy at lunch and the table shifted and his knife rotated just a bit. He quickly straightened it. I reached over and made it crooked again, he straightened it, I did changed it one more time.
He looks at me and loudly says WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I smirk and said... seeing if you are OCD.
He loudly says YES!!!!! Then starts laughing.
We actually got along great after that :)
