How anal retentive are you?

[OMEGA]

Re: Re: How anal retentive are you?

You sure as hell better be sure I can.

Here are some examples of my "anal retentiveness."

Closet:
* Sweaters or long-sleeved non-dress shirts must go on the shelf folded nicely.
* Not-wear-so-often clothes goes on the extreme left.
* Ties hung neatly on a hanger next to my suit.
* Then come dress shirts.
* Then short-sleeved collar shirts.
* Then nice shirts.
* Then jeans, black first.
* Blue jeans
* Khakis
* Dress pants, in order of quality.
* Belts hung nicely on a hanger.
* Shoes in their individual anti-dust bags neatly arranged within their original boxes on the bottom of the closet.

Bookcase:
* Miscellaneous products neatly stored on the top shelf.
* Contact lens lotion, shaving gel, hairspray, gel, razor, etc.
* My He-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Macgyver episode tapes sorted in order by series and individual episode volumes along next shelf.

Dresser:
* Colognes and deoderant neatly arranged on glass structure.
* Comb, brush, tissues, watch, wallet, and cellphone spread out (neatly of course) along dresser surface.

Desk - Others' disasters, Warik's castle
* It's neat. It's fucking neat. Absolutely awesome. Not a single thing out of place. My girl comes over and uses my phone, and I immediately return it to the stand... she uses a pen, I put it back on the desk organizer (in its proper slot... nice pens go to the left, whatever pens on the right).

You want more extreme? I ask my mom not to hang my clothes. Just dump it on my bed, mom. I'll take care of it. Don't you know that blue jeans are supposed to go to the right, not within, or to the left, of the black jeans? What about sweaters? How dare you hang a sweater!!! That will stretch the top out and make it look silly.

Also let's talk about my new fish tank. I have all of the cables tied together along the whole lines with one of those garbage bag twisty things, so that they don't get all over the place inside the stand's cabinet. I also have small pieces of old towels rubberbanded to the cables so that water does not drip down and get into the electrical socket.

Shit, back to my room again. Approximately 1ft to my right and 1 1/2 down is my filing drawer, the drawer which contains two file folders - one for Visa, one for American Express - which contain all of the receipts for credit card purchases I have made in the current billing cycle, rubberbanded together in chronological order. What happens to receipts once the bill is paid, you ask? Why, they are placed, in chronological order after having checked off the items on the statement, one by one, into 2 file folders (again, one for Visa, and one for American Express) and stored in the filing box in my closet. A hardcopy record of every purchase I've made in the last, oh, 12-24 months with a credit card is safely tucked away in my closet.

What else...? Hmm... Oh, I've also been downloading episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. They are conveniently stored in:

\My Documents\My Movies\Star Trek - The Next Generation\Season <X>\[Star Trek TNG (S<Y>-E<Z>)] <Title>.avi

Beat that.

Oh... and I squeeze from the back of the toothpaste.

you sir are my post hero of the day

there is a place somewhere for you, but I fear you have only 2 choices.

A) at the helm of a Romulan War Ship....

or

B) the Ceo of a Corporation with an annual profit of 8 billion

you decide

Warik, I just read your list to a friend of mine, and he is still rolling......your anal retentiveness is quite remarkable.

My question for you is how do you ever relinquish control in your life? Do you trust anyone else but yourself? Come on, be honest.

 

[Warik]

Wait wait... before I answer your question, I must present some more retentiveness.

Today I opened the stand underneath my fish tank to get something. Lo and behold, there is shit all over the place. Fish food, boxes, tubing, etc.

What does Warik do? He runs into the garage, brings some nails and a hammer, and I made little hooks to hang stuff from. I now have my net, air tubing, PH control tabs, ammonia control tabs, and some other item whose name I forgot hanging neatly with only my Deluxe Master Chemical Test kit and airpump (carefully wrapped in a towel to reduce noise) sitting on the bottom.

Now I will think about your question while I utilize my PalmPilot to plan tomorrow.

Hey Vixenbabe, I love the carpet lines, that is so cool
I must have the windows spotless at all times, I can't stand when they even have one spec of dirt on them. Thank heavens for tilt-in. Is that anal enough??
