No it's not- Curtis-I do the same, especially if I have an important meeting that I can't be late for..
How about....
Always making my bed perfectly, Sheets turned down, pillows plumped and propped up, duvet (no wrinkles), and toss pillow perfectly arranged before I can leave the house...goes back to when I was younger-If I had a terrible day, I could always come home and crawl into a bed that looks like its from "Beautiful Homes Magazine", would always make me feel better when I was having a **** day...I know that bed is just waiting for me-crazy but it's me
Being the perfect hostess/bartender- Everyone has to have the correct glass, and perhaps the umbrella-whatever the drink calls for, and I have seasonal little napkins, to place the drinks on, again looks like "house beautiful"
Some of mine are the same as others have mentioned- CD's in alpha order (how else can you find what you want to play?-Nails have to be the same length- Money has to be all going in the same direction and in order $20 down to $1-sweep kitchen floor every day (dog hair)- no dishes in the sink.

Basically my house looks like a model home for some development. (I am not bragging, I am just saying that everything has a place, it's always clean, and always looks perfect for surprise company)..It comes from my Mom- Her home was always (and still is) lovely. I like people to feel "at home and comfortable as soon as they walk in the door-So when I walk out the door (even if I am running late,) I have to have everyuthing all set for whoever sees it next -a little OCD don't you think????
but hey
Everyone loves my house and coming over to enjoy dinner/cocktails...

Side note funny quip- When I was a kid both my parents smoked and my Mom was obsessive about making sure the ashtrays were clean...My brother,(also smoked) he would sit in the chair with an ash hanging off his cigarette, and getting ready to tap it into the ashtry and he would ask my Mom if she was ready??? Cuz she would be grabbing the windex to clean it up... Silly but true...Lots of little fires in our trash can from smouldering butts that she cleaned out of the ashtry, before they were cold.
AH memories... Luckily we don't smoke..or I may have another compulsion to add to the list.
Just some of mine to smirk at
