Chapter 792: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
I said, "Dude, it's not right for you to think so, everyone can have accidents, but you can't happen every day, right?" There's always something unexpected happening to you, is that possible? ”
Zheng Tao was anxious: "Boss Tian, why don't you believe it?" Let's just say today, I'm late for work, I have to deduct 50 yuan, I only get 800 a month, and I will deduct 50 if I am half an hour late, do you think I can still live? "I said that you deliberately took a detour to the door of my store and stood at the door of my store for ten minutes this morning, is this the reason? Zheng Tao said no, I happened to pass by your store at work, so I didn't have to go far at all. I asked what the reason was, and Zheng Tao sighed and said, "Don't mention it." When I was about to arrive at the unit, I found that I forgot to bring something, so I had to go back to pick it up, did you say that I was not late! ”
"Forgot something important, phone or wallet?" I asked.
Zheng Tao said: "No, I forgot to bring an umbrella." "I'm weird. It's a sunny day today, and it's not raining at all, so why bring an umbrella? Zheng Tao said that I am used to it, no matter whether I go to work or go out, there are a few things I must bring: mobile phones. Wallets, umbrellas, wooden combs, watches, notepads. Fountain pens, paper paper, lunch boxes...... He said more than a dozen things in one breath, the same ones I had just seen in his computer bag.
I asked, "Do you usually have to take these things with you when you go out?" Zheng Tao said yes, no matter where he goes. It's running errands, meeting friends, or buying things, even if you go downstairs to the store to buy bags of salt, you have to bring them all.
"Isn't it?" I was surprised, "It's understandable to bring it to work, but you have to bring so many things downstairs to buy a bag of salt?" Zheng Tao said yes, this is a good habit that has been cultivated for several years.
I laughed, "What kind of good habit is this?" You go buy a bag of salt, can you use all these things? ”
Zheng Tao said seriously: "Of course you can, listen to me give you a good analysis." Needless to say, you have to bring money when you go out, right? Mobile phones too, there may be calls or text messages at any time, although my mobile phone can not receive half a call a day, but it is a coincidence that there is no book, and I can often call without a mobile phone. I haven't turned on the caller ID yet, and I don't know who it is when I go home and see a missed call, in case someone has something important to find me, how much delay do you say? ”
I nodded again and again, saying that I also had my phone and wallet, and I had to take it with me wherever I went. But I think I don't even turn on the caller ID, just to save money? Zheng Tao continued: "Umbrellas are also very important, and there are unpredictable circumstances. Although the shop is downstairs, who knows if it will rain suddenly. "I thought it made sense, and asked if you don't need to bring a wooden comb to sell salt.
Zheng Tao said: "My hair is afraid of messiness, and when it is messy, some people will say that you just woke up and are not in a good state." I didn't bring a wooden comb that day, and some comrades in the unit laughed at me and said that you didn't have a comb for your hair, is it because you get up late and are afraid of being late, and since then, I have to bring it whenever I go out. The watch has to look at the time, in case the phone runs out of battery or breaks. Notepads and pens are also useful, so you may need to write down something important. ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but interject: "That handpiece paper and lunch box are too unnecessary, right?" Do you need both when you go downstairs to buy salt? ”
"People have three urgencies!" Zheng Tao said, "If I suddenly have a stomachache, can I still wipe it with my hands without hand paper?" "I was sick to say that, and I couldn't swallow half of the burger before I finished it. Zheng Tao finally said: "I have a habit of eating rice in a lunch box, thinking that this way I can eat enough. In case the unit leader calls me to work overtime, the meal has to be eaten outside, so the lunch box is also essential. ”
No wonder he poured the noodle soup into the lunch box just now and ate it, it turned out that he had this habit. After listening to Zheng Tao's explanation. I felt as if what he said made sense, and I couldn't object to it for a while. But after I finished eating the hamburger, it suddenly occurred to me, no, these examples he said are all small probability events, and the probability of occurrence is very low. Or is it impossible to happen, such as going downstairs to buy salt, the chance of rain is extremely low, and you don't look at the weather forecast beforehand? Buy salt with a wooden comb, and the supermarket owner is interested in looking at your hairstyle? People only care if you have the money to settle the bill. Therefore, the big set of theories that Zheng Tao said just now. It's all about rhetoric.
I asked, "Then why don't your parents look down on you?" ”
Zheng Tao sighed: "It is said that parents love their children, but my parents are an exception." I am an only child, and they always say that I am useless, how can any parents say that their own son is useless? "I asked why you always said that you were useless, and Zheng Tao didn't seem to want to mention it. But it was said anyway.
"I don't like my parents in any way, and when I eat, I drink from a glass of water and adjust a few more positions on the table, and I will be scolded. Sleep at night and make bed sheets. I felt that it was not paved, so I folded it a few more times, and I had to be scolded. My parents asked me to go grocery shopping because I wanted to buy something fresher, so I made a few more trips. When I came back late, I was also scolded...... "I thought to myself that this is not a problem, so I won't be scolded, just say that your parents don't like boys and want a daughter."
Zheng Tao said: "Impossible. They said that I was very rare when I was a child, and that I had been annoyed since I was in junior high school. I suddenly remembered a question, so I asked him how long he had been doing the few things he had been scolding.
"No, not long." Zheng Tao was sneered. Under my questioning. He told the truth, saying that when he put the water cup on the table, he always felt that the position was not suitable, and the strength was either light or heavy, so he picked it up and put it again, probably every time he drank a sip of water, the action of putting the cup had to be repeated dozens of times.
I'm surprised, isn't there something wrong with it? Zheng Tao said again: "I want to lay the sheets well, but I feel that either this corner is not flat, or it is not straight, so I have to lay it sixty or seventy times." "I thought to myself that it would take sixty or seventy times to lay a sheet, and that would be two hours, and it would be strange not to be scolded.
Zheng Tao continued: "Buying vegetables is the same, let me buy fresh cucumbers, how many circles I have turned around in the market, I compare the dozen or so stalls selling cucumbers one by one, I want to choose the freshest, and finally the vegetable market will be closed, and the vegetable vendors will also close their stalls, so I have to choose one to go back." ”
Needless to say, it's definitely just a cucumber with a summer difference. I suddenly felt that this Zheng Tao seemed to have some mental problems, but I am not a doctor, so I can't say what's wrong. People like him. Whether it's life or work, it's no wonder if you don't mess up, who can stand this kind of person.
"Is it wrong to strive for perfection? Is it also a sin to be prepared for everything? Zheng Tao asked me.
I laughed and sarcastically mocked him: "Your girlfriend probably can't stand your habit of pursuing perfection in everything you do, right?" ”
Zheng Tao replied: "Isn't it, I'm a careful person and observant." I am used to taking a closer look at everything I see on the road, and I want to keep it in my mind in case I can use it in the future. As a result, every time I asked my girlfriend out, I ended up breaking up unhappily. There was something I didn't look at on the road, so I wanted to go back and look at it again. Even this she said about me. ”
I asked, "What did you encounter on the road that made you so interested?" Zheng Tao said that this is not necessarily, anyway, there are a lot of things, telephone poles, garbage cans, words written at the door of the store, piles of debris, and clothes worn by pedestrians...... All of them count, I take a few more looks at everything I see. I asked if you have to close your eyes if you are taking a taxi, otherwise you will have to ask the driver to reverse the car if you don't look at anything carefully.
Zheng Tao nodded: "That's right, that's it, I prefer to be more serious, so sometimes I encounter one-way streets." You'll have to make a U-turn at the intersection in front of you and drive this section of the road again. ”
But it freaks me out, isn't this typical obsessive-compulsive disorder? No wonder he was not treated well by the leaders in the unit, and if I was his boss, I had to fire him. Let him drive out on errands. If you don't see anything clearly, you have to reverse the car and look at it again, half an hour's drive, it is estimated that he can drive for half a day, and no matter how big it is, it can be delayed. But. He's not annoying to anyone, at least the taxi driver likes him. As long as he takes a taxi and only pulls him for this job, today's expenses can be earned, so he will rush Zheng Tao's problem. The car can be driven for most of the day.
"When I was in your store, I saw several amulets that could be transferred." Zheng Tao asked me what kind of Buddhist card can make people lucky, and he wanted to buy one.
