Now you got me started, the nitpicking.

Working in a Surgical ward, giving injections is a regular occurrence and occasionally I would misplace the plastic sheath for the needle and it gets lost in the bed linen somewhere.

I don't have time to search high and low and it is a low priority.

Some nurses would find that plastic sheath and instead of just putting it in a bin they would walk whatever distance it was to find me and go "You left this behind!" I didn't care it was a non-issue for me. Now I realise what they were actually doing.

There are the hyper exaggerations "You left a room in a mess!" when there may have been an empty chips wrapper in a bin. They simply could have taken the wrapper out of the bin and disposed of it in another bin.

This type of behaviour is reflected in households all around the world, she wants him to do more housework, but he is not doing it the way she wants it done. Take folding towels she likes them folded one way and he folds them his way.

The obsessive-compulsiveness I am just starting to realise.
