@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 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.
