Little things that bother you. OCD or poor design?

It was a roller coaster of emotions.

At first I'm all f*** you thermador and your f****** f***** screw placement....and in a heating element no less.

Then I was like, thank you Leupold for making awesome scopes and sending me an angled torx with every purchase.....I will continue to keep all 27 of them.

I keep all the Allen and torx keys that come with my wife’s cheap throwawa/need-to-assembled-BS-furniture/housewares. When I run into a situation like this, I go through the pile and tape the one that works in there. That way if I ever open it up again, the tool is right there. You’ll thank yourself when/if you ever open it up again.
 
One of many examples for me. My kitchen island. The barstools must be equally spaced and centered within the panels of the lower cabinet, legs all perfectly aligned to the hardwood floor planks, and seat tops rotated such that the seam is facing inwards and not visible. It’s a curse! 🤪

The dog, obviously, thinks I’m crazy.

I do the same thing with the kitchen table and benches.

Small signs of visual disorder have been linked to an increase in antisocial behavior- I don’t need any more of that in my house than there already is.

If that’s “strange” then I don’t want to be normal.
