# We had a succesion of dodgy house mates
One of them liked closing doors.

If you got up in the middle of the night to use the loo or get a drink, if you left any doors open he would pop out of his room and close them, no matter what time it was.

Another had about 6 mobile phones, all on different networks, so he could chat to his mates on their different phones, on the same network. he used to talk very loudly on the phone outside my room (god knows why he couldn't do it in his own room, seeing as it was a mobile phone) to each of his girlfriends telling her she was special, and how much he loved her, then onto a mate telling them what a stupid cow girlfriend A was, and girlfrined B almost found out about girlfriend C, and what was he going to do. he also seemed incapable of going to the loo in the loo - he just saw the bathroom as one giant loo, and liked to give all parts of the floor a fair share.

Another one was german, and had no pots or pans of his own and ate out of a metal dog bowl. Wer had no problem sharing the saucepans, but it got a bit much when he almost started crying because he couldn't cook his dinner because there were no pans clean. Possibley becasue we we actually using them to cook our own dinner - but that didn't appear to matter.

# Door closers
I'm one of them, I can't help it. Anyone ever notice no-one thinks it's odd if you're a cupboard door closer?

# door/drawer closers
Nah, door closers are all fawking strange. My ex-GF, who had pretty much decided she lived with me, was a compulsive door closer. I could be cooking dinner for her and she'd come up and shut the cupboard door or a drawer or whatever if I left it open even if I was going to put something back right away.

# sounds like
a very mild form of obsessive compulsive disorder to me. It's very common.
