i'm not really a control freak, in fact i'm much more on the lazy bitch end of the spectrum, but it is essential that things are on odd numbers
little things, like the tv volume.

this can get really awkward if you're with someone who has the opposite problem and has to have them on even numbers (more common than you'd think, the weirdos). or if it's someone else's house. it's hard to surreptitiously lean on the remote and raise or lower the volume by just a notch...

Odd numbers? Eugh.

Don't you have the problem where one number is too quiet and the next number up is too loud?

I cannot imagine a television set ever being loud enough to cover MsSwipes conversation level.
This observation is without merit and based on very little.

But if the TV has an even number of speakers then the combined sound of the 2 odd numbers will be an even number

And, moreover
volume 27 on my Hitachi is the same as volume 10 on my Sony. Then if I use the Sony in conjunction with the Humax box, each of which have their own controllers, modifying a Humax volume 17 with a Sony 8 would require a deep understanding of Mathematics to have any idea if the output was "odd" or "even". So like any OCD pursuit of perfection or symmetry, this is futile.

Given that my current and nicest ever car is a 12 year old 120k Picasso
The chances of me owning a BMW of any kind other than Dinky are absolute zero. So obviously your tale of agitation elicits very little sympathy from me.

Jealousy, yes; sympathy, no....

it only bothers me if i see it
otherwise i don't think about it. it's just when the numbers appear on the screen, or if you have the kind of car stereo that shows the number (fortunately mine doesn't). shudder.
