How anal retentive are you?

[RyanH]

For the rest of you who are overly meticulous, what are some extreme examples of your personality trait? Or, if not, what are some extreme examples you've heard of in the anal retentive's never-ending search for order ?

my most pathetic habit is my inability to stop alphabetizing everything....my books, bills, and even cds are all in alphabetical order.

I once had a friend that had to make sure all of the tassles in her dormroom rug had to be straight.

Warik, I'm sure you can top this.

Well.. I do have to make sure my shirts in my closet are hanging perfectly straight, not touching one another with 1/2 inch between each of the coat hangers at the top.


I do this 3-4 times each day.

Each book in my library are arranged perfectly.

i tend to measure things exactly when i'm making things for design classes... down to the mm. once i went through text on a poster and made them all exactly the same distance apart - it took me two days.

A have a phobia of dust. If I see dust I have to stop and clean it. I can't stand dirty stuff in my house..which is odd because the house I rented in college was a pig sty of beer stains and other garbage.

I wish I had that personality trait....I've tried to adopt a more hands off approach to some things in my life, but I fail everytime.

Anal---mentioned in his clothes. I'm pretty anal in that dept too, my clothes are highly categorized by each drawer.
