From reading another post about being chastised for going above and beyond one's duties reminded me of this.
About 2 years ago when I was working at the dairy store one morning, I decided to rearrange the glasses so that every peice was next to the same type. Since I cannot drawtype I will explain what I did. The 1 scoop and soda glasses were put on the top shelf, the 2 scoop sundae, large sundae, banana split and plates were put on the second shelf and finally on the lower shelf were the 1 scoop sundae and the ceramic mugs. Everything was perfectly symmetrical.
The next morning I worked and everything was jumbled back up again.
i was not pleased. I go to move things when the manager asks what I was doing. I told him and he replied "So it was you." Emphasis on the "you". Apparently, I didn't take in account of the height of some of my co-workers, who couldn't reach the top shelf at all.
And my manager was the one who had to fix what I did. I didn't get in trouble, he just said stop trying to be overly helpful. 
So has anyone else go OCD at work or am I the lone wolf?
