What yoyo related stuff gives you OCD? I’d like to know! The prize is, again, the satisfaction of winning! Ends on Christmas Eve. ---

I can’t stand dirty strings, or even the smallest scratches! ---

It really really bothers me when my bearings start to make unnecessary noise. So I take the shields off and clean them. And I also don’t typically play the strings that come with new yo-yos. I much prefer my own strings. ---

I don’t think you should use a hundred strings in 2 months! Make the most out of every string, I don’t think the quality of kitty fat starts deteriorating even after an hour of rigorous practice. ---

I sometimes wish I could have an axle and bearing on each side… also I arrange my yoyos with the same shape and colour on opposite sides and so inwards. ---

When others bring me their yoyo’s to try (especially children) I have to replace the strings before I throw them. I don’t even like touching the string to replace it because they are usually nasty looking and feeling. I also like sanitizing the yoyo too. You never know if people wash their hand or where their hands have been. ---

Haha this one is my favourite!! I just pictured someone trying to hand you a yoyo, and you pulling out some sanitizer and pouring it all on their throw before taking it! :joy: ---

Have you ever given your phone to a child for a brief moment so they can be amused? It gets so dirty that the touch screen doesn’t work until you clean it. ---

Three things I have to do on any new yo-yo: 1. loctite the axle (the non-hex side, of course) 2. lubricate the bearing to my HYPERSPIN™ specifications 3. put a small drop of heavy lube on the axle (the hex side, of course) ---

I honestly dont like to loctite my axles. I dont know why, but i just feels good to be able to unscrew it. And because i never loctite axles. It felt kinda weird using that banshee @codinghorror gave me. I just couldn’t put my finger on it till now ---

> [@E2\_yoyos](#): > > I honestly dont like to loctite my axles. I dont know why, but i just feels good to be able to unscrew it. You’re not hearing me. :wink: I loctite ONE SIDE of the axle, the side that’s NOT SUPPOSED to come out. I lubricate the other side… that _is_ supposed to come out :thinking: ---

Loctite isn’t permanent and isn’t meant to be. It’s more of a “suggestion” that things stay put. (also I should mention that I use blue which is the medium kind of loctite on the scale of stickiness) You can use a hex key tool – which is easy, right, because the hex key side _just happens to be the the side of the axle that came out when you unscrewed it_ :wink: – and unscrew the axle if you want. Nothing precludes you from doing this. ---

Because if you don’t, every time you unscrew the yoyo you _might_ get the hex key side of the axle, or you _might_ get the “wrong” side with a solid metal end. It’s kind of a crapshoot. I prefer it when I unscrew any yoyo if the hex side of the axle always comes out for quick access. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/oh-my-ocd-contest/295962.md?page=2)
