It must be done as the images show, or else insanity will result.

I have to make a conscious effort NOT to do that when planting flowers and shrubs.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Parallel, STRAIGHT rows in farming are easier to follow with the tractor, so you don't wipe out rows of crop by mistake. Curves or esses are harder as you have to pay more attention.

White-space and spatial relationships are important to me, visually.
Take the things on my coffee table, for instance... I don't so much care where exactly the things are on the table (say, a stack of magazines, a candle, the remotes, etc), but their relative spacing and alignment to each other and the tables edges will bug me if it's off kilter, so I catch myself fixing those sorts of things fairly regularly.
It's like OCD-lite.

Ich bin ein Deutscher. Having things aligned neatly in a grid is in my genes. Preferably alphabetically and by size.
I took a University of Maine Master Gardener course and our instructor about lost her mind trying to break me of the habit.
