Just added that " Switch -plate screws East West orientation " to my New Years Resolution List .

I thought I was pretty organized however after reading the above many improvements must be made !

There is a reason that screw slot orientation should always be set up and down. The dust will not collect in the slot that way and it eliminates a lot of dusting effort. So that's puts the anal argument of screw slot orientation to bed. A one time proper orientation eliminates 365 days a year of dusting screw slots. Some times 366 days a year

We always dust on the 366 day years, whether the place needs it or not!

The only problem with your theory is that the dust has to go somewhere.

I thought everyone did this except mine are stored down so the dust won't get in.

So agree with this. I want TV school to offer two short courses for men: Lights, Do They Turn Themselves Off? and The Kitchen Counter is Not Your Home Office.

Toilet paper is rolled outward unless you have a pet or a totally out of control kid who likes to grab the end and run with it. Rolling it inward prevents this catastrophe, but it is not the preferred method. On a related issue, I hate having to pee around that paper strip that hotels put on the toilet seat. Also, I love it when they fold the end of the toilet paper into a point, but I never do it at home.

Please add to that How to close cabinet doors and drawers, also There is a hook for your keys.

I am really anal and he is the complete opposite. I guess opposites do attract.
