Enraging The OCD In You

I don't 'officially' have OCD, but I like things in their place.

Plus I'm in Marketing and make promos/flyers for my company.  I've channeled my inner-OCD to make magic happen.

Which is why I have an eye for things that are out of place, or just don't look right...

Prepare to rage.

I noticed this on my can of Rockstar earlier this week.  Yes, the star is covering the 't' so that little chunk could be the base of the 't,' but look at line thickness for the other letters.

Then back to the nub.

Back to the letters...

...then back to the nub.  'Rockstar' uses a thinner font and 'recovery' has the thicker font.  That nub... it's laughing at you...

Good job Rockstar.  I love your lemonade energy+electrolytes, but I CAN'T LOOK AT YOUR CAN.

After that incident, I decided to search the web for other pictures that make the inner-OCD in all of us cringe.  Enjoy:

...but I only took a slice...


DAMN YOU FIG NEWTONS


RAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

Fuck you, Heinz.

Is this right?  Wrong?  No right answer?  OH GOD WHAT DO I DO???
Whether you truly have OCD or not, if you're as pissed as I am, you're not alone.

(now share this post and piss off your friends!

    The pizza and the Heinz ones made me actually have anxiety. haha
    I have borderline OCD anxiety disorder. My house is insanely organized. It actually makes my messy friends nervous to be in MY house 'cause it's too orderly. :)
    This post totally cracked me up. The M&M one struck particularly close to home as I used to have to take them out of the bag and eat them from lightest to darkest.

    If you've ever tried to get Relish out of a squeeze bottle you know that label isn't the only thing wrong with Heinz Relish.

    Love the picture of the Leaning Tower. If I had that picture that's exactly how I'd hang it. And I don't think I have OCD.

    If I saw any of those thinks IRL, I would be fixing it. I can't stand to be in a room, anywhere, where a pictures is hanging crooked without adjusting it. But I don't have a documented case of OCD.
