I can only conclude that (a) these people are more detail-oriented than I am, or

(b) they don't have a life.

 

Have you ever seen a movie called "The Accidental Tourist," with William Hurt as the titular (uptight) travel writer, and Geena Davis as the dog-grooming free spirit he falls for?

In one scene she's helping his equally tight-wound siblings (Kethleen Turner and David Odgen Stiers) put away the groceries. They're...alphabetized. She helplessly brandishes a box of pasta and asks, "Does this go under P for Pasta, or M for Macaroni?"

They gaze at her incredulously for a few (interminable, uncomfortable) seconds before Turner says curtly, "E. For elbow macaroni."
