For me, it’s my clock radio, which I use to wake me up in the mornings. My favorite radio station is sandwiched in between two other very powerful stations, and sometimes I can only get it in clearly if I jiggle the tuning knob just right. Some days, when the signal is especially weak, the simply act of turning the radio off and on again is enough to lose the signal.
So, before going to be each night I hit the “sleep” button to make sure the station is properly tuned in, and then hit the “snooze” button to turn the radio back off. And then I hit the sleep button again just to make sure that turning the radio off didn’t mess up the signal. And then I hit the snooze button to turn the radio off. Followed immediatedly by the sleep button, then the snooze button, then the sleep button, then the snooze button, and so on. Sometimes I do this 10 or more times in succession before being satisfied that the radio will really be on the right station when the alarm goes off in the morning.
So… what are you obsessive about?
