You can tell it’s intl week, and I created this discussion not to trivialize the topic, but I was just thinking what little things really get you when it comes to disturbing your equilibrium?
For example, I can’t have unclean kitchen surfaces or pools of water. I can see my missus making a cup of coffee, and it’s spilling all over the side and I’m like aaaaah. They have to be wiped down and dry. To be fair, hers is when I leave the dishes all stacked up on the sink and never put them away, and many others I’m sure.
Another one that gets me is any sort of stain I get on my clothes if I’m out and I get a splatter of food after eating. My mind is really thrown if that happens.
I’m just curious to know what other things get under your skins. Are you someone that can’t have a book out of place on a book shelf, do your keys have to be in a certain place etc?

If I see small trollies jammed into bigger ones and vice versa, I feel the need to tidy them up.
Clean worktops - with a clean dishcloth, followed by antibacterial wipes. All dirty plates and cups in dishwasher.
Clean windows and no smear marks - house, cars and even workshop windows.
Nicely stacked firewood.
Only use wetwipes, no toilet paper.
Can't beat opening the dishwasher and getting out a sparkling pint glass for a glass of water
How are your drains?
The wipes get bagged up in small paper bags and either put on log burner I the winter, or in the bin in the summer
Nothing is left in the sink or on the draining board when I go to bed.
I have been in the electrical game all my working life and never, never have I met a sparkie who would tighten his screws and leave them horizontal including myself.
Slots in screws must, and have to be vertical.
No timber in sight nowadays, by the time the second fix takes place and screw direction is being considered its all painted walls.
Handprints on the bi fold doors wind me up
Gloss black doors on cupboards. Get a scratch on one of them and I will order a new door.
I go through mr muscle glass cleaner like nothing else
Cant go out without the beds being made
All cushions puffed back up on the sofa at the end of every day
Any marks or dirt on the alloys and I am out with a bucket of hot water and scrubbing away at all hours.
Hoover it out every couple of days.
When I park on the drive it has to be parked in exactly the right place and angle. If the missus drives it on all skew-whiff I need to move it back.
And like other posters - got a real thing with germs and cleanliness. Will always touch door handles and the like with my coat sleeve instead of my hand.
Bloody hell - reading that back I have issues!
