SOme of it I can see you letting go, some of it is clearly excessive...
My question though is how much research did you do?
Not trying to pick on you, I am just showing you areas where you may have done more than you did... I can certainly understand why you would want to avoid doing the research.
The yogurt containers we do that too... Our recycling system here reccomends that you wash plastic before put it in the bin (keeps raccoons and bacteria from building up... It's one thing to feed the wildlife, another for them to eat yogurt that's got germs all over it)
The lying is passive-aggression.. its part of the OCD actaully...
