No, i have not been diagnosed with OCD. I am just curious as to if anyone else has this problem. Whenever someone turns the volume up it MUST be at a multiple of five EX: 5, 10, 15, 20 or i will go insane and cannot stop thinking about it. If im in the car sitting in the backseat where i don't control the volume and someone turns it to like 19 it will bother me the entire carride. I dont want to bother my friends by constantly making them change it all the time either. Is this at all normal?

    It's usually an even number for me, but I don't let it control me though.

    It's a proven fact that 80% of Americans are uncomfortable if it isn't at a multiple of 5. I don't get uncomfortable I just feel like I need to change it to a multiple of 5.

    For me, it's even numbers. It's so that if someone tells me to turn it down, I can easily turn it down by 25% or half. My TV for some reason is stuck at uneven increments and you can't really change it because 1 tap equals 2 notches on the volume. It drives me nuts. I have to close my eyes or I'll flip out.

    It happens to everyone I know. I'm the opposite. If I change the volume it CANNOT be a multiple of five. If someone turns it to a multiple of five I have this kind of itching feeling under my skin and in my brain til I change it to another number. When I do there's this feeling of satisfaction.
