I just find the way I like things and the way things work well, and I stick with them. I figure it keeps me orderly, neat, and efficient. For instance packing my bags and where I put things in the hotel: Some friends will just toss things around, then end up leaving things behind. I put everything in the same place when I pack, and when I'm leaving I only need to look in a few spots in the room to ensure I have everything since I usually will put it in the same spot in each different hotel on a trip. Then there is my flight bag... don't get me started!

What can I say? I like order.

The bigger question is. Is all that OCD or just common sense?
