Needing to order things

[mouse]

I get these graze boxes through the mail that contain four punnets of healthy snacks. They always have slightly different expiry dates on each punnet. Sometimes I have a hard time having any snacks so I end up with multiple boxes of these punnets.

Thing is, I like to make sure the punnets are ordered by expiry date, so I have to move them around. When a new box comes in the mail I have to look at all the dates and swap them out with the older boxes just so they're in the right order.

I didn't think this was too strange until I literally couldn't concentrate on a tv program I was trying to watch until I had reordered the punnets! Does this sound like an OCD behaviour?

can't stand supermarkets that can't order expiry dates properly.

It is an OCD behaviour. Therapy can help if you find that it is really overtaking your life.

Definitely it is OCD behaviour.
Sorting by expire date is one of my OCD things too...
