QotD: Can't Help Myself
What's the most obsessive-compulsive thing you do in a normal day?

I can't wash my hands without washing my face.
Maybe wash is a misnomer, it's more like a rinse. I wash my hands with hot soap and water (most times, if I just did it a quick rinse will do) then once the soap is gone I cup my hands so they fill with water and wash, rinse, whatever, my face with the water.
I've tried to break the cycle but I don't feel clean unless I've washed my face; even if I just did it 5 minutes ago.
When I'm unable to, for instance in places so filthy the water seems dirty, no matter how hot it gets, it is a serious distraction and mostly all I can think about is finding a clean place to wash my face.
The worst is after meals. I have an especially oily face to begin and eating anything makes me feel like someone just poured a can of 10W30 over my face.
It could be worse I guess.
