Default Anxiety...

How bad is your anxiety when waiting on parts for the S? Or any car for that matter? I have ADHD and am extremely impatient already so any time I have a UPS or FedEx order coming, my OCD kicks in enough to watch the tracking status every 12 hours .

Anyone else have this "problem"?

Only if I'm wanting to have something installed before a meet/event. Otherwise, eh.

Not really, sometimes I get parts in and leave it in the box until its ready to install. E.g. new leather for the arm rest

I don't order parts often enough to actually experience this. In general though, whenever I see "out for delivery" on the package status page, I always have the habit of over checking my front doorstep just to see if it showed up early.

oh yeah absolutely, I just love seeing those brown trucks pulling into my work to give me my delivery. I don't care how much they charge me just as long as they get it to me quick. lol.

All of my stuff has to come across the border and go through customs, when you get customs delays and exceptions it drives me nuts, sometimes you see the package sitting in a location for more than 24 hours and it is painful. lol.

Not for me, but then again, I haven't been shopping online lately.

I do get frustrated when the part arrives at my local facility, then leaves arbitrarily to another city all because some moron at the receiving center wasn't paying attention. It eventually arrived, though. #firstworldproblems

Anxiety, OCD, ADHD. You could get help for that. But driving your s2000 is the best therapy.

I absolutely get this way. It's even harder because I have everything sent to me at work, then I have to wait on the mailroom. Everyone always gets a kick out of me having stuff like a stack of tires delivered to my desk at a tech company. I'm working through my problem though, ordered a set of Ohlins with a ~2 month lead time, I've got the shakes.

Hahaha I know right. I don't want therapy, I enjoy the "H" part of ADHD, and being OCD means things are always squeaky clean and neat. My other form of medicine is a totally different subject (note: it's not illegal)
