Anal Retentive

From RationalWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

An Anal Retentive person is someone obsessed over minor or insignificant details. The term originates with Sigmund Freud's ideas about childhood development, particularly through the toilet training period. Some people regard it as psychobabble, but those people probably don't even care that we have hundreds and hundreds of redlinks and people just keep on adding them, and who is going to write all those articles? Them? I don't think so. And what is with those who use "Also See," rather than "See Also"? I know it may not be important to you, but some of us like to do things properly....I didn't just write that all down, did I?
