It was always a nightmare trying to find a girlfriend with equal breasts, had to check so many and keep going back to check them again. And again.
p.s. Happy New Year to you Stu and Amanda

Thread titles SHOULD NOT end with a period!

^ the word period should not be used instead of full stop. Period!

That's all well and good but have you checked your front door?

think the door checking thing is "normal" something to do with the brain doing some kind of a short term memory wipe every time we cross a threshold/go through a door

The internet was invented by Al Gore, who's American. On the internet one must use the term "period", not "full-stop" out of respect for the gift that America gave to the world.

Checking doors and gas endlessly. I'll check stuff half a dozen times knowing full well I've checked just 5 minutes before. My mind doesn't trust my eyes or memory. I try to say something to myself that's confirmation and repeat it. Though if it becomes routine I start to distrust myself again.

Going away for a few days / week I take photos of the stuff just to be sure.

Does my head in. Didn't used to be like this.

A technique I learned and use is to say out loud a silly expression when doing the thing. E.g. When locking the door I will say to myself "sausage musical". It seems to work...

Is that where the term the Al Gore Rhythm comes from then?

My moody Mum will ask if we’ve washed our hands after using the loo.

She’s had it since a nasty car crash 30 years ago nearly killed her.

Get therapy once the person knows there is a problem.

Flirted with it as a kid but mostly grew out of it. But I still have to check that the garage door is closed two or three times consecutively when I lock up for the night.
