Today, I was caught and fined for picking a lock. I have OCD. I was picking the padlock on a toilet paper holder in a public toilet because the roll was the wrong way round. FML

It's hard to live with, yes. Hell, it's hard watching someone you love struggle with it. It's not something to be rude about. People who suffer from OCD have a choice: Panic attack, or doing domething about the object of their frustration.. Obviously there is a correct, or at least best, choice. Most of them don't inconvenience strangers at all, and try not to inconvenience people closer to them.

OCD OCD OCD OCD OCD. I have it too. It's not fun. It's annoying. But keeps things tidy and safe.

FFAAAKKEEE!! How could any one see you you were in the toilet

Ok... you can be ocd and i respect that. But you have to respect that other people dont always want everything to be tidy, or the 'right' way. If you want them to accept your disorder (which is what the d stands for in 'ocd' so don't think im being derogatory, thats not my intention) you need to accept other people as well.

HA. Absolutely no excuse. YOU DO NOT GO AROUND PICKING LOCKS! I call YDI. Vandalism is VANDALISM, I don't care WHAT disorder you live with.

Everybody knows toilet paper goes over, not under. OP's job is stupid.

You totally deserve for having "OCD" there's no such thing it's all in your head it's a control thing if you don't have something a certain way then you get pissed off

You're too stupid to describe with words.

brain chemicals brain chemicals

words cannot express how much i hate your comment. First off, OCD is in fact a disease, it is scientifically proven. Second, It IS NOT a "control thing" it is just a problem that some people have.

Are you saying that just because the person knows they have OCD means they have no excuse to engage in obsessive compulsive behavior? OCD is indeed treatable, but it is incredibly difficult to overcome. The urge to perform compulsions can be so strong, the compulsion becomes the priority. The OP is not using their OCD as an excuse for "inappropriate behavior"; the "inappropriate behavior" is a symptom of their OCD. Does they mean they are entitled to break the law? Of course not. The OP did not say, "I didn't deserve to be fined." If anything, they're probably embarrassed, hence the "FML." All that said, for crying out loud, they were picking the lock of a TOILET PAPER HOLDER, not the lock of someone's door.
