Me too but not to the extent of be labeled OCD.

I don't think I know what OCD means...

And I like straight angles when I draw on a paper. :-)
------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Me displaying bad mastering of the English language. :-)
I meant 90 degree angles. "Straight angles" comes from my Swedish. And 
that's a literal translation of an expression, which in Swedish implies 
90 degree angles. Expressions, as well as figures of speech, are 
dangerous, because when translated to another language, might not at all 
mean what you were thinking.

Fair enough.   I thought that it might be an idiom translation issue;
Although, it's a humorous read as an oxymoron.
