Small Scale Neuroticism

Not quite at as serious as Neurotic OCD,
everyone has little quirks that make them that much more unique and lovable
or that much more strange and nonsensical.

Things like
Stationery obsession (guilty as charged)
Shopping by packaging (admittedly, also guilty)
Doing things is sets of threes.
Turning off all electricity at the power-points as soon as they walk into a room.

Or in my case:
compulsively eating icecream
Arranging all my books on a desk so that they are in size order,
and my stationary then has to sit on top,
organised and straight without breaching the borders of the books.

Or a slightly more harmful one:
A thirst for spontaneity.
Doing things just because I'm craving lustrous shiny excitement.
(Note: do not take this out on your hair)

Yet even though we find these to be oddities, there are many people out there who share the same traits.
Is it perhaps a personality thing?
Or are there just a set of people who've been scanned and edited,
then mass produced in our society.
Ahh the wonders of consumerism.
