CDO (the correct order)

So I took one of those online OCD tests and it said that it was more than likely that I have OCD, and that I should make an appointment with a professional immediately.  Immediately was bolded.

But I know I don’t have OCD for three reasons.

1.) It doesn’t interfere with my life.  Repeatedly checking to make sure I have my credit card in my wallet at the restaurant only takes a few seconds.

2.) No one notices or comments.  No one hears me counting, no one sees inside my brain, no one witnesses the picking or pulling. 

3.) If I really did have OCD, I woud have taken the test a dozen more times to make sure I got the correct result. 

So, tendencies; maybe.  Disorder; no.

But then I was in class yesterday and I was looking at the flipflopped foot of the person next to me.  All I could think about was licking her foot.  I have no desire to lick her foot.  Feet are possibly the least attractive body part.  And the rest of her isn’t my type anyway.  That still didn’t stop me from thinking about it though.  And anyway, as long as I know one person who is worse than me, I’m OK.  And I think I know two.  So that’s good.  Two is a good strong number.
