3. Your spice rack is organized by frequency of use and is within arms-reach of the stove top
4. You enjoy responding to questions with questions
5. You wear a point-of-view camera when you
go to the supermarket
6. You take time to explain signage and labeling shortcomings to store clerks and airport attendants
7. You rage at ambiguously designed traffic signals
8. You actually read the manuals of things you buy, but only to look for errors and mistakes
9. You can’t use any interactive device without analyzing its interface
10. You still cannot explain your job in one sentence to your grandma
11. To you, card sorting is not a poker trick
12. You are immediately tempted to write an expert review whenever confronted with a weird check-out process
