Locking issues and other oddities

Does anyone have any weird issues when it comes to locking doors/windows before you leave the house? Or anything else for that matter?

I don't just do the double check on the front door on my way out, I end up doing a drokking sweep of the house every time I leave, sometimes by the time I get to the front door I have the urge to start again (usually end up doing that). Just wondering if any one else does a similar thing or if I'm alone here.

I've been told that before... I don't feel like it's a massively obsessive thing, I just feel quite uncomfortable about it unless I do it or until I get distracted. The only way I can describe it is like when you've driven down the road and forgot if you've locked the door and felt you should go back and check, but I get it before I even leave. I tend to eat in a way that means I always have equal amounts of each thing on the plate, but I don't realise until I get told off by the handbrake for it.

your not alone its very common - you should make the effort once in a while NOT to act on this impulse- so you can prove to yourself that you can control this need - but its not harmful or anything to be worried about - in fact checking your door/window/car locks is not a bad idea imo

I lock my car, walk couple of steps and then walk back to check if it's actually locked. :oops:
