Sounds a little OCD. How does he feel about toilet paper rolls? Everyone knows the roll should roll down from the front and not from the back!
ahem carry on. And Merry Christmas, Penis
You are right on that! The toilet paper thing. I don't understand anyone who thinks different.

Merry Christmas, Lily.  ::)

Is he a young guy? Intergenerational office issues.

Yes. Pre-computer, double. Post-computer, single. Now let's discuss ending sentences with a period. I think it's a waste of time and hard on Mother Earth

Periods are necessary.
    .

Oxford comma?
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Completely irrelevant. I will give you periods. Otherwise it can be confusing. But not placing the ultimate period makes a statement

My wife's sales guy has a serious quirk that has recently emerged.  Seems the poor fella gets extremely agitated when receiving dictates, orders to fill, or any other digital communication with Double Spacing after a sentence.  Drives James nuts and he apparently had a hissy fit this week about it. James is a single spacer after a sentence.  Others in the office are     not.    He gets  >:(  <---

I'm not sure what to think about this. Will he get angry, for real?

The reason we are writing in the first place is to communicate.  To me double spacing after sentences and Oxford commas make things easier to read and understand.  Anyone who doesn't like them are free to skip right past.

What about not mounting the toilet paper roll at all, and just leaving it loose but in reach?  Everyone is happy, no more argument.

Yes. Angry for real.  She had to send him home on Tuesday after his freak-out.  He's 31 and made 270K in commission this (2020) year and this is what he bitches about. Suicide rates at an all time high, lives crashing down all around but double spacing is his thing.  Ahh!

I once worked for a company that was a subsidiary of a foreign parent company.  Quite a few of the other employees were transfers from the parent company's country.  The all kept a roll of TP at their desks, I suppose in lieu of a kleenex box.  At least we hoped so.  Lol. it was a frequent topic of conversation..

So start triple spacing.  For clarity.

It just doesn't seem ok. That does not describe a stable person.

We civilized people know full stops, double spacing, and Oxford commas are correct and necessary.
