So I accepted another wierd personal compulsion of mine today. I’m absolutely not a clean freak of a perfectionist(normally), however; wierdly, I just cannot accept a job finished unevenlyin one area.
I was at one of my hangouts today, having several beers. I went to the bathroom several times. They had just redone the stall doors and urinal partitions. Now, They used to be crappy and dirty and grafitoed and that was just fine, never caught my attention. But now they had redone them, and they were sparkly clean and spangely urethaned laminated particleboard with gleaming chrome brackets. But there was one screw not threaded correctly. It just didn’t sit flush. And after my third piss I finally pulled out my Leatherman, unscrewed it, at put it in right.
I have also been known to wet a drying towel and clean a missed spot off an otherwise immaculate mirror or counter. I couldn’t care less if it is generally, dirty, grubby, greasy or spotted, or even totally disgusting as long at it is even.I don’t even care if it was an obvious half-ass job. But it annoys the hell out of me if someone went to the effort to make it perfect looking or new, and missed one singular little detail.
