I went insane over a hair!! I need to know how to stop the insanity!!!!!

I had what I think was the second biggest OCD obsession ever today. Basically, I found a hair on my bookshelf, for some reason this stressed me out so much I couldn't stop thinking about if it could have contaminated my whole bookshelf, or if my hands were dirty from touching it. I started thinking of it for hours after brushing it off. Then I started obsessing over where it might have come from so I started staring at my dogs and then proceeded to get a pair of tweezers and pluck hair from every area on my body to try to find where it came from. I then started measuring distances of how far away I am from my bookshelf during different things I do in my room, started thinking about which way the fan spins and how it could have caused dust and hair to travel, and then I couldn't rationalize anymore and decided to wipe down the shelf and everything on it with dish soap and then I sprayed everywhere I saw hair before with Lysol. This is just insane, how am I supposed to live like this??!?! How on earth do I stop this!!?!?!

How the heck do I purchase from Mercari Japan "Global"

I attempted to order an acrylic keychain from Mercari Japans new "Global" shipping option. After entering my information I was told my card could not be used; later I found out Mercari Japan does not accept American cards?!?!? Why on earth do they have a global shipping option if they only accept Japanese cards?!?!?!? I was told to use a proxy site but I have many more orders I have to pay for later this year and can't waste 50 dollars to get a tiny keychain over to America. This is absolutely absurd! Somebody please explain to me why they have a global option if they can't accept international transactions.

Super weird dream similar to the TV sitcom The Good Place

So, I had a dream I was in the afterlife, there was no heaven or hell, just The Place. It was a gigantic hotel that was miles tall and wide. I was explained to that depending on how many bad or good actions you committed on earth the same amount of inconvenience or convenience would happen to you through out your eternal life. I was told since I was quite a philosophical person that I would have the special job of being a judge for people. I know this dream sounds way too complex and straightforward, but I promise things spin into absolute nonsense. So, I had to hide my identity as a judge and was given an extra body which looked like the girl from White Chicks, all the other judges were super annoying and skinny, and for some reason all wore gigantic hair clips. I was given a partner and roommate that looked like a stereotypical K-pop singer, and another roommate that looked like Billy Sparks from Young Sheldon, he was infuriating and only ate chocolate. All the doors in the building could only be unlocked if you answered super obscure Japanese Denpa visual novel trivia, which luckily I'm good at. There was a gift shop at the bottom floor that was full of anime merchandise, and the bathrooms in the rooms had tons of weird signs with meaningless "puns" on them like: "Pun of the day!: 'If it's your day off, then water should be as well.'" I honestly don't really know how to fully describe this dream?? I mean this is the main premise but it was pretty much just hours of me walking around and talking. It was pretty odd to have a dream this detailed and realistic in the first place since most of my dreams are just aimless walking with impossible architecture.

I heard something absolutely atrocious!!!! What even was it!?!??!!?

Ok! So I don't think I have misophonia, because most sounds don't bug me. I get a bit twitchy and nervous when I hear crying though, thats honestly it. But today I heard something so absolutely horrendous and disgusting it made me feel dizzy, I was in a Wallgreens parking lot skipping around waiting for my mom and brother. I hear an ambulance in the distance, usual occurrence! Nothing out of the norm. But as this ambulance got near the corner and started turning I heard this absolutely awful change in siren noise, it wasn't like the usual WOOOOOOOO siren sound. It was repetitive and wobbly, the sound was extremely loud and almost depressing sounding, something about the noise felt so loud, abrasive, and sad. It was like nothing I never heard before, I just stared of into the distance wondering what the hell that sound even was! It sounded like a siren they would use to signal that somebody in the ambulance died or something, something about that sound just made be feel so uneasy it was like I was in a nightmare! and after that they just turned off the sirens. Something about it left a lingering feeling of dread for a few minutes after. I cant really replay the sound in my head, but I'm kind of glad. Somebody please tell me what it was I heard!!! It sounded like the end of the world compressed into a noise!

EDIT: Ok! I found the siren noise, but it doesn't sound horrific on a computer like it did in real life, I don't know whats wrong with me!!!
