I would not classify one as a wuss for that.
Now it could be classified as perfectionism or even 'Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is a mental health condition that causes an extensive preoccupation with perfectionism, organization and control.'
If one is married and they find themselves organizing there partner, that can be real conflicts.
..
.When I look at your profile, doesn't look like your a wuss or have OCPD either.

Ironic we should be talking about this .. My 02 VTX, old girl, sprung a leak. The chrome radiator cover is funky. Used acetone; nail polish remover, to clean up the shiney part. Havent figured out how to clean the underside. Might as well do it while its off,
Ill probably wash it in the deep sink then see what the acetone will do on the underside. Ill take before and after.
