A TRUE electrician will ALWAYS align the screws North/South. You can tell if an electrician screws you the right way.

I'll make this quick and easy -

I prefer my screws in, not out. And tight, not loose.

For my beers, they must be tasty (never lite) I don't like them straight up and down - hard to drink that way. I like them constantly being moved to an increasing angle.

You forgot a "just messy" option. That fits me. A regular Oscar Madison.

I threw away or shredded 38 years of every bill I ever received in perfect order before we move here. Now all bills come by email.

I clean the emails out every morning before I get my NOTHING on. Dew, I understand. It's organized.
My house don’t face north and south, some where between NNE to SSW. So my screws slots are all half vertical and half horizontal

The compass download on my iPad says 108 degrees E.so, now I have to make and adjustment LOL

I just made the wife read this thread, so she could see that analism is alive and well outside of our house.
Her only response was that "Your not anal, just a PITA!"

I live with a TRUE electrician and he says it doesn't matter which way the screws are aligned or not, just as long as they FIT.

Just emptied out my "subscriptions" (+600) on ToTV. Now zero. I say organized.

I empty out my Trash Folder every day. I say organized.

I like all light switches down when off. I say organized.



Now where are my car keys???????????
You didn't jump from organized to anal until the light switches. I guess those lights with common switches on 2 different walls drive you nuts. Is it as bad to admit that anything with a digital volume control in my house must be on an even number?

Should not PITA be PIMA? That is my anal side. This would mean pain in my ass. Some people can be a pain in everyone's derriere.

I looked and all the light switch screws in our house go north-south. A straight slash downward in other words.

When Robert and I moved from Canton to Provincetown, anything fragile was packed in shredded statements. Why did I ever save those things for SO many years?
