I do think it's interesting, and it applies to more people than you'd think. My dad and I both have very specific formulae for how to arrange dinner on our plates. We argue about whether the turkey goes at ten or twelve o'clock ~ almost as pointless as my arguments with my mom about what color the number 5 is (BROWN, dammit!). And of course, there will be no mixing of different parts of the meal.
I changed one, where I was afraid to sleep with my door closed because then I wouldn't have an escape route for, you know, anything that requires one. Now I can sleep with it closed. Fortunately, I've never had one as bad as your ablutomania, but I do know what you mean. I'm glad you changed that one.
