No, no raining on my parade at all really, I just should have put more of a disclaimer on my fun. What truly excited me and got my gums a-flappin' was the over-lapping mentalities of participants of golf and climbing.
Realistically, climbing seems like it would one of the LAST activities (if any) that a trully DSM-IV diagnosed individual would get enjoyment from.
Although the OP stated 'clinical' I was shooting the shit from a more benign pop-culture perspective, ie - "Man, I'm so OCD".
I guess instead of "conjecture" I should have stated "bullshit".
I find it very interesting where you stated "I bet half the people on this forum..." because I have a sticky feeling that you are again correct because I could at least name a few irrational compulsions in myself:
-From about third grade until about halfway through middle school I would religiously NOT step on any crack in the pavement. (Father had a bad back, switched it from "momma's") It must have been amusing to watch me tip-toe through the small-tiled mall near my house. My walking stride is still timed out to miss the cracks in a sidewalk and I will find myself still doing it from time to time without noticing.
- I would not wear anything that made any noise while I moved/walked. I would tape zippers down on back packs, distrubute coins between my pockets, stuff Kleenex/cotton into mint boxes.
- I was certain that there were cameras behind the mirrors in my house and that if I left the blind open in front of the window while taking a wizz then I would have a high probability of getting sniped. Admittedly, that was kinda overboard right there.
Anyone else wanna share?
