You might be a little OCD

"The way that people arrange the yoghurt in a haphazard format is such that I must conclude they did not play with Lego enough as a child."
"You're a little bit OCD right?"
"Ha maybe a little."

Where do you draw the line between perfectionism, high standards, and OCD? Surely one person's finnicky details are another person's I couldn't give a shit. So who's to decide?

And the conclusions we can draw from such obscure details? People are amazing and beautiful and messed up all simultaneously.

I've heard it said that people act, think and judge from their values. I guess one could summise that my value here is 'maximising yoghurt pottles on tray', but larger than that, going to the extreme, so hopefully you cut out some work for yourself later.

This can sometimes conflict with other people's value of 'only have enough' or 'make it look pretty'. Obviously aesthetic value is also important to me, but it is of secondary importance to me, practicality trumps.

Maximising yoghurt pottles... this is my version of laziness. Most people just leave things until later, mine is get in, do it once, do it right, do it with all the best knowledge and resources you have so that you (hopefully) don't have to do it again any time soon.

This seems to fly in the face of the hospitality industry in general, or what I have encountered of it.

What interesting conclusions have you drawn recently? Tell me your story in the comments.
