social disorders that border on O/C due to the fact thats how most cerial killers start out on their obsession. I have seen such traits in guests and cast alike. And yes... I due have a back ground in Emergency Medicine...

Just a comment about the O/C. Obsession may well be a trademark of a serial killer, but Obsessive Compulsive disorder is not.

People with OCD are too busy being afraid of what might germs might kill them this week, hoarding newspapers, and washing their hands to worry about killing anyone, for Pete's sake!!!

For people with OCD, the obsessions tend to be fear of something that becomes so acute and so terrifying, that they cannot function. This is where the compulsions come in. The compulsions compensate for the fear. For example, a person with OCD develops a fear of flying. They then perform counting rituals before flying....counting everything in their suitcase, touching every seat they pass on the plane before sitting down. In the OCD mind, this "protects" them from the dangers they fear.

I speak from personal experience. I have OCD and never has my obsessiveness focused on a person, unless you count the ax murderer I am sure will come in and kill us all if I don't check the door locks 5 times before bed. :D:

Oh, and a side note, as an official crazy person, I have no problem being referred to as a whackjob, nutjob, crazy, "off", certifiable, etc. In fact, that's how I describe myself. Also, feel free to refer me to the funny farm. Just please send disinfectant wipes. ;)

The benefit of "...being referred to as a whackjob, nutjob, crazy, "off", certifiable, etc." is, nobody bothers you. :D:

Plus if you do say it enough with witnesses, when you do put the smackdown on an SG at WDW, you could get off with a warning!!

Reminds me of the line from Newsradio, when Bill is confined to a mental hospital:

When I was driving boats in circles and telling bad jokes, we had a guy we called "Creepy Halloween Dude." He started comin around during Mickey's Not So Scary and would come around during the days. He'd hop on skippers boats (he like female skippers more, and would wait for a boat with one). His intention was to heckle the skippers to the point they would cry. He'd heckle any skipper. After a few days of this, security was called and his annual pass revoked. He came back next year. He currently, still has no annual pass.

As a guy who likes to do things a lot of other guest don't spend much time on, I try to be aware of how I must seem to cast members. in particualar I like to catch a lot of the live entertainment groups, and when I do there will often try to catch two to three sets of the same perfomer on a day, so instead of following the pattern most guests follow which is either to say "oh isn't that neat" as they pass a musicain by, or to stop and listen to the end of one song before moving along, I will arrive before thier set starts and be waiting when they come out, I KNOW that has to seem odd, but I do that because I like to record full sets, and I think most of them get that pretty quickly. I'm guessing I must seem "odd but harmless" to some of them. i still worry a little sometimes though how I must seem, some of them I hit it right off with and I'm pretty sure are comfortable with me, but occasinally I'm unsure how I'm percieved, still since I can't get down there all that often, there are fairly long times between the times they see me, which probably helps.
