You know you may be Not Ready for Monday if:
At Dunkin Donuts for coffee, you consider getting the Box of Joe. For yourself.

Anybody want to play Psychoanalyze My Neighbor? He's in his mid-to-late 30s, single, white, has a pretty cool dog. As far as I can tell, he has only basic furniture in his house, and no pictures, decorative items, or anything.
Every morning, at 6:30, he comes out of his garage, gets into his SUV (which he never pulls into his garage, even though his garage is empty), backs out of his driveway, drives about 50 feet, backs up, pulls back in his driveway, gets out, goes into the garage, and then repeats the whole thing 5-7 times.
Sometimes he doesn't get out of the car between forays to the 50-foot mark.
On weekdays, he comes out later and walks the dog, then takes the dog somewhere (gets in the car and goes, no out-and-in). Then he comes back, gets into work clothes, and leaves for work around 9.
In the evening (or weekend afternoon), he comes out of the garage and uses the remote to unlock the car, then the back hatch, then lock it, then unlock it. He did this for 12 straight minutes once, which about drove my husband off the deep end - the car chirps "beepbeep" when it locks or unlocks, and R swore it was something in our house that was low on batteries. He refused to believe it was the neighbor until I literally forced him to go look out the window (we can play Psychoanalyze My Husband later).
Neighbor seems nice enough, says hi, is helpful. Could this be a type of OCD? Is there anything I can do to help, or to not trigger?
