(17,175 posts)A few tweaks to the software, and you can have anything as your background. The Grand Canyon, an idyllic forest with Bigfoot walking by, an approaching tornado, scenes from the 2018 office party...
Well, maybe not the office party.

(18,868 posts)I have OCD that can get really bad but mine is checking things. It can get so bad I can't get out of the house. I wish I had more of the staightening up kind.
I don't mean to make fun of OCD people because it can be completely debilitating.

I wonder if somebody dared her to do that...or maybe she's being held against her will and is sending a message for help!

(5,942 posts)I read that in a book somewhere, and started doing it after I noticed my 2-year-old wouldn't leave the house without straightening the rug in front of the door. Even with all my interventions, when her IQ was tested at 4, they diagnosed that as a disability even though she was extremely gifted.

(33,135 posts)I guess, it could be a board she's rigged as a background for remotes.
As evidence I point out the odd looking structure on the lower right to the left of the bookcase. The panel could be leaning against.
Here's how I think it went down. They called her and said, "You're on in 5... 4... 3... 2... "
She put the board in place at a minimum to eliminate the annoying Carlsbad Cavern effect and didn't have time to line everything up.
