I know this thread is going way off the rails at this point... but apparently 94% of people have unwanted or intrusive thoughts which are the cornerstone of OCD.
What prevents the people from being full blown obsessive compulsive is how they deal with those thoughts.
Obviously these are examples of intrusive thoughts that jump out in my mind in particular. At some point when a thought jumps out enough, it does yourself some good just to voice it, which is all I'm doing. I'm not trying to stop anyone from using it, just saying what it does in my head everytime I hear or read it.
Do We All Have a Little OCD?

Obsessive-compulsive thinking is completely normal, with about 94 percent of the population experiencing some kind of unwanted or intrusive thought at some point, according to an international study co-authored by Adam Radomsky, a professor of psychology at Concordia University in Montréal, Canada.
