When Efficiency Fails - New Less Tangible on MacOpinion

722 In this week's Less Tangible on MacOpinion, Marc Zeedar says:

I've always been an efficient person. When running errands, I plan my route carefully so I make stops in the correct and most efficient order. When walking the mall I study the mall map and figure out which stores I want to visit and compute the most efficient path to take, even taking into account the stores where I'll possibly buy the most stuff and going to them last so I don't have to lug purchases too far (for instance, I'll make the book store my final stop). I hate it when the grocery store rearranges their shelves because it messes up my efficiently planned route which takes me precisely to the items I am shopping for and in the correct order (i.e. frozen things are purchased last so they don't melt).

Now this might sound complicated, but I scarcely have to think about such things: I just do automatically. It's a natural instinct for me. I'm always looking for the most efficient way to do something.
