Is this OCD?

Posted by mrgeek on August 21, 2005, at 20:52:23

My mom has an odd habit, which has been going on for at least 2 years, of not being able to use things until completion. Examples of this:

Replacing the toilet paper/paper towel rolls before they are complete.

The freezer has about a half dozen bags of french fries, each with a small amount left in them.

Likewise for bags of chips in the cupboard and bottles of soda in the refrigerator.

And these are the only things that I'm able to observe, I'm almost sure the habit extends into other areas as well.

My question is, what kind of behavior is this displaying? It certainly doesn't seem normal, but I'm not sure how to classify it.

Thanks a lot
