Do you like things to come out "even"
« on: November 03, 2019, 08:57:04 am »
Ok I don't know why but I go out of my way to make things come out "even" - restaurant bills I will add extra change to make the bill even (has nothing to do with checking balance or credit card balance) I do it with posts on here, and points on other sites where I can.  It is crazy I mean it isn't where I can't leave it odd if I must but I would prefer not to lol.

I also like things even (it seems neater LOL).   I try to round up to the nearest dollar amount when I pick up take out food.

I used to do this. I used to round up on my restaurant bill, but it was too much hassle to do the math. I used to pump additional gas to round up the bill, but now I just let it stop where it stops. I guess I'm growing out of my OCD.

One thing I can't stand is an odd number of leftover pizza slices. If my husband leaves 3 pieces, then I feel obligated to eat all 3, even if I only want 2. But if he leaves only 1 slice, then I get irritated, because I'll still be hungry after only one. LoL!

It depends on what it is, if I am paying a bill for example like $20.98 I will generally round it up; but I don't necessarily do that on restaurant bills because I generally leave a tip if the service was up to par; as I know it is important to tip people in service types industries.

I believe it's called OCD; Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I think everyone has a little of this phenomenon.  :-\

It's the new normal.

I used to round everything up but not anymore.  It's time consuming and as long as I get things paid on time I'm good.

I guess. I like to pay with exact CHANGE when possible. I like to minimize change theft from my change purse, but it seems to still happen anyway. Some people think it is cute I guess. It isn't. Neither is it funny. If not exact, exact change, as much of penny match as I can, to get nicer/bigger coins instead.

I don't mind if a total isn't even or rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

LOL, sounds like we both have the OCD issue of evenness! I have to do just about everything by an even number, including posts! I don't know where this tic comes from, but I guess it's a lot less frustrating than some of my other OCD behaviors, LOL!  :peace:

If not even, something I can remember would be nice. Although, I can't really remember everything, anything, or much!
