It could still be negative in that it takes time and he probably feels compulsed to go through these repetitive steps. That is not easy on the mind.
Plus, there is wasted gas and pollution and all that.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
he's annoying the neighbors.
Raq didn't mention that, did she?
This (from the quick ref to the dsm IV) is what I was thinking of:
Moreover, the obsessions or compulsions must be time-consuming (taking up more than one hour per day), cause distress, or cause impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning.
Otherwise it's not OCD.

Glad Em's daycare is going well so far, Aimee. Did MM tell you about the five gallons of water he dumped on himself this weekend? Heh. I shouldn't laugh, but it's so something I would do.
Also, is today a particularly Mondayish Monday for anyone else?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Did MM tell you about the five gallons of water he dumped on himself this weekend?
He did indeed. I'm just glad he didn't have anything electrical in his hand at the time.

Now tagless for your comfort.
He's schizophrenic and he's trying to confuse the government agents who are spying on him?
Schizophrenics usually aren't so organized.
I'm calling it OCD. This is just one behavior. There's no telling what other compulsions he's dealing with and how they affect his daily life.
We need to walk down to the elemetary school to sign some forms but this means pulling the stroller out of the back of the van. I really want a sit & stand stroller to replace the huge double we're currently using.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My Monday-o-meter is pretty much pegged, yeah.

Definitely glad he didn't. It's only amusing because it was mostly harmless.
