OK, I know this can’t be just an OCP thing, but women’s pants sizes drive me nuts. I currently have a skirt, size 4, that fits perfectly, and a pair of jeans, size 10, that also fit perfectly. (For the men out there with better sizing, that also means I have items size 6 and [...]
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by personality tests. I think it’s some sort of OCP trait that likes to know what makes people tick.
