Share a few things noted above.
Volume control - 0/5/8/10 and so forth.
Everything is aligned at right angles on my desk / around my house.
All labels face forward in fridge / cupboard.
Lists / reminders / spreadsheets for everything.
I waste a lot of time in work with layout / formatting and correcting other people’s work when really it doesn’t matter.
In the office I apparently used to come in and unpack my lunch and put each item in the same / place order and in parallel with each other. I went to the toilet once and my team played a trick on me and moved it all around. I came back and in complete auto pilot put everything back in it’s place without really recognising what they’d done. I wouldn’t have known had they not said to me after!

My wife says I notice straight away if something has been moved or used in the house as I always put things back in a particular way. As an example I came home last night and asked my wife what she had used the tumble dryer for yesterday. How did I know? Because the cord and plug was not the way I had left it when I last used it!
I always pack the supermarket shopping as I like everything put on the belt in a particular order and then packed accordingly.
Went on holiday once and left a key with a neighbour, came back opened my tool cupboard and knew someone had taken my electric drill out as the case was back in the cupboard the wrong way round, eventually discovered neighbour had used it.
The more I think about it I realise I am quite obsessive.Last edited by Scouse Hibee; 12-08-2021 at 11:33 AM.

Fwiw, my wife rarely comes supermarket shopping with me, but when she does she leaves me at the checkout and goes and looks at the magazines.There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

I've seen a few people mentioning writing lists on this thread. Is that really odd?
I do it all the time, particularly at work. It's just sensible rather than oddball as far as I'm concerned. It means I actually do the things that I'm supposed to rather than the chancers in my office who stare blankly ahead when you ask if they have done something and they either have, or pretend to have, forgotten all about it.
When it comes to shopping I've started using the Scan and Go so I can pack how I like as I go. It's a system I actually object to on a few levels but for the purposes of being able to pack as I like then it's great.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

Is it not just sensible to put the heavy stuff at the bottom of your bag and stuff that will get squished, leak or bruised on the top? Who wants to pay for a loaf of squished bread or bruised bananas? It's not a man thing or a woman thing its common sense
I have lots of oddball behaviour but no OCD . If I'm wearing socks i like them to be odd. I think someone with OCD would struggle to live with me

I’m particular about packing the shopping too, but more in keeping together stuff that goes away in the same place, so cupboard stuff separate from fridge stuff etc.

What are your wives doing when you're all making sure the bags are neatly packed?

There’s obvious things that don’t go at the bottom of a bag. I’m not going to put a loaf of bread at the bottom and top that with a 12 pack of water but I can’t say I really go that deep into thinking about it. Once things that are ‘fragile’ in some regard are safe then it’s a free for all after that.

I think it says a lot for men. Most of them seem to have dragged themselves into this century ( a lot even managed equality last century too!) and agree that having a home and perhaps a family means all work loads are shared . The days of womans work and mans work are thankfully in the past Also a lot of men live alone these days . The chances are the women are out working - imagine that?Last edited by Jay; 16-08-2021 at 07:13 PM.
