Your Silly "Pet Peeves"

I see some CL members in need of an intervention 
Before I get in the car, I need to clap twice and hop once.
After I sit down, I twist the mirror, check my hair and blow a kiss to myself and say "shibbbbyyy"
I wiggle my torso to make sure if I need to flatulate or not. If I do, I proceed to remove myself from the car and do my business outside.
Then I turn the car on (not the engine yet) and must find a suitable cruising song on the radio before I can take off.
After that, as I start the ignition, I close my eyes to anticipate the roaring of the engine like something very good is going to happen. Oh yeah.
Hahah I'm only kidding about the first part.

Don't car if my white IS is dirty, but my black one MUST be clean as you can see dirt easier.
1. The Dual AC/Heat being activated.
2. NOTHING in the pockets behind the front seats (This looks very unorganized/sloppy)
3. All trays in the car must be closed.
4. Passenger seat MUST be even with the driver seat. I can't stand it when people move the seat around and when I get in the car the next day it is alllll ****ked up.
5. People put their feet on the dash (my GF)
6. People leave trash in the car
7. People leave the sun visor down.

1. I walk around the car TWICE to visually inspect it for dirt, dust, fingerprints or bird turd. when its dark outside i use an led flashlight.
2.Everthing has to be symmetric and turned off before i turn the car off.
3. All doors must be closed and anyone in the car must be silent when i turn on the engine so i can listen closely to make sure it starts up nice and smooth.
4.I dont have kids so nobody is allowed in my backseat.
5.Inside and out has to be spotless at all times.
6.No eating in the car. Beverages have to be bottled with a cap.
7.8.9.10.........OCD..... FTW... i can go on and on....lol

1.) Just let the door close itself, no need to slam it. Gentle!
2.) Dirty carpets...
3.) Stupid cat likes to warm herself on my hood in the garage. Always wiping off paw prints! Ugghh!
4.) Cup holder closed when not in use.
5.) Don't mess with my stereo - AT ALL! (Ok, chics get a pass - sometimes)

haven't read all these but I hate it when people close the trunk, i always get out and make sure. They just slam it and when i am in the drivers seat i cringe every time. It happened with my GTO too. I also hate it when the cupholder door is open or if the ashtray doors are open when I get out.

-When I park the car, I have to use the parking brake. It didn't bother me when I first got my IS but since I always set the parking brake on other cars I drive, it then bothered me that I wasn't setting the parking brake for my IS.
-The front passenger not putting on the seatbelt even though I waited a longgg time before putting the car in motion and the warning alarm goes off. Yes, I know you can turn it off with some procedure but my passengers need to learn to wear their seatbelts!
-Even though the headlights turn off by themselves after you lock the car, it bothers me when I see them left on since I've had another car where the lights did not turn off by themselves. I make a habit it turn off the headlights before I lock the car.

It's so nice to see I'm not the only one with car OCD!!!
1) You don't know fingerprints unless you have obsidian, dont touch my paint!! Close the door at the corner with your palm!!
2) Door slamming!! It's a Lexus, they close themselves!
3) I must change into clean shoes before stepping into car.
4) Back armrest must never be left down.
5) No eating, most certainly no drinking, unless it's water and you have to prove it first and it must have a cap!
6) Nothing on the floor, and I mean nothing!! Clothes are the only thing allowed on the seats, and they must be folded.
7) Nothing in the trunk (except sub). If I need to carry something big, that's what my truck is for, plus anything heavy in the trunk kills mpgs!
8) All cupholders, side slots, anything that can close and open must be closed when not in use.
9) If your going to backseat drive... You can walk
10) Wheels/rims never can be closer than an inch to the curb, no such thing as curb rash in my world!
11) Car must be cleaned inside and out every other week as well as waxed.
I have so many others but I feel OCD enough already!

I drive my wife and everyone else crazy with my OCD stuff. I don't even know where to start with this thread lol!
Mainly no one can clean or keep things clean like me. So if you try and help I will have to go right behind you and make it look perfect.
Not just my car, it's with everything. Really bad with our remodeled kitchen. The wife can't clean stainless steel or granite to perfection to save her life.
