I know. I know. I'm a little OCD. Well, ... a lot OCD. I can't help it. I actually find that is works for me, so I just go with it. But, can I tell you how much things like this drive me up the wall.
If you did not feel like painting that day, then work on something else. Go work in the garden or wash the car or do something that does not required detailed work if you are not feeling like messing with the details on this day.
I mean, you didn't have a paper towel or a paint rag or something? Who sees that dripping paint and does nothing? I couldn't let that go. And then all over the bottom of the thermostat. And if the paint job wasn't bad enough, they put a white screw in this buff colored cover plate. That drove me even crazier than the paint job. This was at a local pizza place I stopped at one day to grab a bite while I was running errands. All I did was stare at this the whole time I was eating.
