If you think it is annoying that they move their stuff around imagine
what was like for my brother in law who was an engineer and had that
anal retentive thing going on. He had maps for shopping. He would
check out the flyers for the best deals and then head off to town to
shop at several stores to get what was on sale at the best price at
each. Then he consulted his maps. He had a map of the town with the
store locations marked on them. Then he consulted his store maps. He
actually spent the time and effort to draw floor plan maps and noted
the location for the various categories of foods. Pity the stock boy
or manager that he cornered when something he was looking for in a
specific location had been moved.
