Are you Monk? Or did you just elect to be so obsessive-compulsive?
Whatever you did, this is the game:
The person before you will tell you something they would like for you to do, then you tell us why you can't do it, using any reason you think Monk would use. Afterward, you give the scenario for the next person.
I'm having a party, and everyone is dressing up like Adrian Monk. You, as a guest, will be expected to completely act the part. What is your response?

Oh, ya' gotta watch TV once in awhile. Monk is a TV show about a man who was a police detective, but his obsessive-compulsive disorder got him canned. He is a great, although defective, detective, however, so the police department hires him to take care of their toughest cases. However, they don't pay well, and Monk is studiously terrible at paying his poor assistants, who must go with him everywhere, carrying his antibacterial wipes.
Monk is a widower whose wife was murdered. As far as he is concerned, he is still married to her -- in fact, he idolizes her, and "she" will visit him occasionally. He is loving and tender toward her, as "she" is toward him.
All things must be in order, and all things must be meticulously clean. When he vacuums, the lines left in the carpet must be just right, and he will vacuum until they are -- no matter whose house he is in. All things must be lined up correctly. All sharpened pencils in the container, and all roses in the vase, must be the exact same height, and he will make sure they are, no matter where he is. He cannot step on a crack in the sidewalk or the stone walkway. All his clothes are hung more perfectly than in the most exclusive menswear store, and they are all alike. Order! Everything must be in order!

So the answer might be:
I can't come to your party because someone might touch me. Besides, I don't want to be around a bunch of people pretending to be monk, because they are just a bunch of copies. I have to have the real thing. Why should I spend an evening with a bunch of fakes?
Next situation:
I am the manager of a clock store, and we have over 100 clocks of various kinds on display. Some of them chime on the quarter-hour. We need you to come find out who has been stealing our most expensive clocks, worth thousands of dollars.

sorry, can't come since some of the clocks chime on the quarter hour and some don't. Call me when they ALL chime together.
Monk seems to need Paxil or Luvox. Now that you explain, I remember hearing about that show.
Situation: Monk, we need you in England. The queen's residence was trashed and some of her jewels stolen.

England? Is that in Europe? I mean, is it outside of America?
I can't go there. I just don't fly ... all those germs in the airplane. People sneezing and wheezing all over the place. Some have terrible diseases. And the air on the plane ... it's recycled you know. Now I believe in recycling paper, plastic bottles, tin cans and the like ... but recycling germs ??? That's nuts I tell you.
No ... no ... I just will not go to England. Tell the Queen I'm sorry ...
Situation: Monk, there's a deadly virus circulating on the Internet. All computers are at risk. Can you help?

I'm sorry, but I don't do computers anymore. Anything with that many bytes must be exploding with germs. I used to have a computer, but mine got a worm. Or was it a virus? I don't know, but when I boiled water and scrubbed it down with that and Lysol, it just quit working. It must have been sick. Why else would it have died? Find someone else. Sorry.
I think the woman next door murdered her husband. There's just something about the shed in the back yard. His car hasn't moved in so long that there are weeds growing under it. And I haven't seen him in two months. Would you come over?

Weeds ... you say? Weeds? It's a jungle out there !!!
And how do you know the woman next door murdered her husband? He may have died of boredom because the car hasn't moved for so long.
And what's in the shed do you think? Probably hasn't been cleaned for years. I can see from here that shed is not aligned North/South - so there's bad vibes I would say. Can't make it right now.
Monk: The florist has run out of flower and so has the baker; he's got no flour either. There's probably a flower/flour thief about. Can you help?

No! I can't bear the thought of a bare floral shop! I must write that this just doesn't seem right. I'll cite the reasons: our rites and sights would be altered; the church altars would be bare (and that, too, would be hard to bear), the bees would be buzzing around nothing. I can't stand it! It would completely upset all the world, and we would be whirled into the abyss of space! I can't come! I couldn't bear it! I can barely think about it! And I haven't even begun to think of a flourless bakery!
The vault was robbed last night at the First Washington Mutual Fronteir Venture Key Bank. It was an inside job, and they emptied all the safe deposit boxes except for boxes number 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 23, and 30. Come help us, Monk!

2+1=3
3+2=5
5+2=7
7+4=11
11+2=13
13+4=17
17+6=23
23+7=30 no this isn't right.
Let's try something else. The square root of 3 is 1.7320508
This isn't it either. Take the first number 2 and then the last 30.
Ah ... I got it 2:30 time to go see my psychiatrist. Sorry can't help you.
Monk: There's a thread on a website somewhere where two people are debating you in various situations. They need a situation for you to solve. Can you help?
