   Don't play practical jokes too much though. , Also, make a spreadsheet showing your routine, so that other people are aware of it.

   Make sure you and other people put everything back in exactly the same place.
   
   Have your cereals stacked according to fiber content. , Buses carry diseases, as do trains and airplanes.

   He has a Thai night, a Chinese night, and so on.

   Sheldon never misses the chance to throw some fun fact out of his head to the people around him. , You'll have to get the best grades in school and read. , Be awkward in social situations.
   
   Never go to parties unless forced to do so. , If you don't, then look for one. , Be careful with this though, as you don't want to annoy your partner until the point when they don't want to be with you.
