Pet Peeve
Why can't anyone ever reassemble a newspaper after they're finished reading it? The pages and sections are numbered; just put everything back in order, line up the creases, and fold. Simple.

""In any case, fire burns; that's its nature, and you can't expect to change that. You can use it to cook your meat or to burn down your neighbor's house. And is the fire you use for cooking any different from the one you use for burning? And does that mean you should eat your supper raw?"
Maddy shook her head, still puzzled. "So what you're saying is . . . I shouldn't play with fire," she said at last.
"Of course you should," said One-Eye gently. "But don't be surprised if the fire plays back.""— Joanne Harris

wow. that's a little obsessive, no?
Obsessive if you need to do that at home? Yes.
Obsessive if you have to do it 20 times a day because you've got to clean up after someone at work...no way.
You expect this out of the same people who take a book of the shelves, then immediately set it down on the side instead of sliding it back in where it belongs?
Aren't pet peeves by nature obsessive? It bothers me regardless of the context.
