@phoneboy Sounds nasty. It's a shame there aren't doctors for that sort of thing.

@phoneboy I've been in that situation before. I dare say everyone has. It's annoying. It helps if you can find some other non-negative thing to start obsessing about but that's easier said than done.
@matigo Should be stamped out at school by teachers. Kids should be made to stand in corners until they learn to speak.
@matigo The psychology behind this is fascinating. It's like we're still operating socially like we were thousands of years ago and haven't evolved to be effective at all the modern ways we're organised.
@matigo No mail on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday? What's good about that? Sounds like the seventeenth century.
@hazardwarning I'm glad you have some mental calm. It's a high value thing these days.
