1. I want to congratulate Mr. Monk.
2. I have never written about a TV program before.
3. I now check expiration dates on co-workers food in the refrigerator at work.
They'll thank me later.

I did not notice some of my own OCD till I started watching Monk! I think a little bit of OCD in personal and professional life can be a good thing.

I totally agree about all of us having some OCD. The trick is to "hide" the really weird stuff or replace it with something less obvious. Keep your hands in your pockets and count the telephone poles on your left side with your left hand and visa-versa. Nobody has to watch you clean your house. Now that there's that hand sanitizer, it's less likely you'll be criticized for using a towelette. So what's the message here? Perhaps that not only does Monk validate us, what do you think his compulsion to do so much in public means, besides, of course, he can't help it! melissa

It's kind of hard to hide some of the really weird stuff, though. I agree that you can hide a lot of the stuff, but I still have yet to figure out how to 'hide' the fact that I pick everything up off of the ground. Or that I straighten store shelves.
On another note, I noticed you're from Michigan, cmbelt! Nice to see a fellow Michigander on here.

I'm not very Monkish but if I do have any little quirks I haven't noticed, or haven't been pointed out to me, I'd just let them all hang out and let others figure out what the heck I'm doing. It's fun to let others guess.
The closest I came to being at all Monkish was when I was working through the agoraphobia, I'd count anything, even my heart beats...then think I was going to have a stroke or heart attack
