So much I would ask him why...but it is a waste of time.
Things like....why would you drive 29mph for ten miles in a 50mph zone.
Why go to bed at 8 PM, then get up at 4AM...turn the heat up to cook those sleeping upstairs.
Why take your salads with oceans of two kinds of salad dressing?
Why pour tons of sugar on spaghetti?
Why make sneezing sound like an elephant trumpeting? Yeah, some people think you sleep better in the heat than in the cold...I'm the exact opposite...but I do have clients that fall asleep as soon as they get on the table now that I have a table warmer. Weird. The driving thing is because he's either in no hurry to get there, or he just likes to frustrate his fellow traveler. Sugar on spaghetti? Yankee. There was a guy that stained the cabinets in the new houses my father plumbed when I was a kid. Dude would sneeze so loud it would echo throughout the subdivision; instead of saying 'Achoo' when he sneezed, he said, "Aww s***!" He has to be dead by now, but he'll live on in my memory because of that. Dude drove an old 1970's model F150, green with rusting out wheel wells.

If it’s just an OCD thing and you want to have some fun, suggest watching The Social Dilemma. After viewing start asking them every morning about their screen time as they are measuring out their milk…
On the other hand, if they are trying to lose or maintain weight don’t be too hard on them for being disciplined. Think of it as being no different than a using a checklist before takeoff or landing.
Over the last year we started to closely monitor our Mini Aussie’s weight and food intake. She was a tad over 31 pounds and started showing some signs of having problems recovering from her daily run. Her ideal weight is closer to 28 pounds. Doesn’t sound like much of an issue but it’s the same problem most of us have if you want to lose 10 percent or so of your body weight…
Most of us will low carb it or morning fast to shed 10-20 pounds but when it comes to a dog on an already healthy diet and proper amount of exercise, portion control really comes into play. Then again, most of us are creatures of habit and choose to eat basically the same things every week so in that case, portion control also works. That way you can eat whatever you want, just in smaller amounts than most are accustom to…
Most of us have dishes that are far too big. We eat off a plate that was designed to have a smaller plate on it. Over time we lost the little portion plate and fill up the bottom plate…Small dishes help make right size portions look correct while big plates and bowls will make you fat.
It only took a few months before our pup got down to her target weight and by closely monitoring her weight and food intake, we found the perfect amount of food to give her each day to help her maintain her weight. Surprisingly, we discovered that it was hard to pour out the perfect amount of food as just one extra layer of nuggets in a bowl was enough for her to add weight so now we always use a measuring cup...

If he's letting you stay in his house for any length of time, I'd overlook whatever quirks he may have.

Just the opposite here. BiL is the good one and my sister is the odd duck. We visited once and she was cooking spaghetti. She said she was making plain spaghetti. Who knew that meant without any sauce. When I asked where the sauce was, she got out a bottle of ketchup. Melted butter (a lot) and parmesan cheese liberally coated makes white spaghetti pretty good. Just for future reference.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

Btw, anyone else know anyone who wears khaki pants every day of the year? He has at least a dozen hanging in his closet.
Short in the summer.
Coffee pot must be pulled all the way out. Folded paper towel...spoon on right side. Mess with it, he puts it back.

Definitely sounds like OCD...he can't help it, just how he is....The sugar on spaghetti thing is still very, very wrong.
