You're an utter disgrace to the whole OCD community. I saw no point in running round after a bunch of loose cheapo spanners after I got the nice socket wrench/spanner set with it's own box.

The loose spanners got scattered when my son was ****ing around with his bike. Everything else is in individual carry cases and organised appropriately within. They get kept in drawers or on a shelf in the garage.

Just knowing the're out there and not in size order should be enough to make you not sleep at nights. I feel like someone has just dragged their fingernails down a blackboard just thinking about it.

Apart from the fact that they're now scattered around, and you won't know where to look for them if you need them.

You can't seem to communicate with anyone.
Just had a weird long phone conversation trying to find out which of 2 addresses I was given for a doctor's appointment was right. The person kept talking about "The corrected address" but telling me to go to the first address. Eventually I worked out she was saying it was "Not the corrected address" ie not the correct address. I think.
