Too much perfectionism at work will slowly kill you, but just the right amount of it is...perfect. Especially when it results in a meticulously stacked pile of carrots in a supermarket. You might be wondering if you're in an art gallery!
Bored Panda collected a bunch of satisfying examples of perfectionism at work. These people definitely deserve a raise, or your upvote! Check this post for more symmetry, or this one if your inner perfectionist is feeling naughty. Upload your pics, too!

This Driver Is Suffering From Perfectionism
I think it is actually cross sections of logs arranged artistically on the back panel of the truck. Still very creative and clever!
I Don't think its a perfectionist as much as a driver who #1 won't have his load shift #2 he gets paid for his weight, or he payed per truck load to the top. Pretty neat and pretty clever.
Load More Replies...Not the driver, but the guy who loaded the thing. And facade, schmacade. Still looks awesome!!
It's called: How to fit the most timber possible on to an old lorry; thus reducing the amount of journeys it needs to make on our roads.
Why denigrate this loader by saying he's a perfectionist in a derogatory way? I admire him for his talent and dedication to doing the best job that he can do.
T-shirts Aligned To Show The Characters On Them
Not really, I've done that in a matter of minutes
Load More Replies...I used to fold shirts in a store. This would be destroyed by customers in several hours... why would you bother doing this?!
And some client comes, picks the one in the middle and distroys the whole work!
It's not a priority in H&M Dawid. But, it's funny and OK if we have some time for it
Load More Replies...You know who else aligns t-shirts to show the charachters on them?
Someone would come mess that up in a heartbeat. Glad they got the pic when they did!
These Piles Of Spice At A Market In Marrakesh
I was in Marrakesh in this is a fake. These Piles are solid and when you order some spice you will get from another source. I think when you look on the right side to the red one you will see its not real.

They should have sorted them by size aswell, this is scratching my OCD.
Glad to see I'm not the only one... It's quite disturbing to see them like this.

This Cookie Jar
Lovely, but wouldn't entice me to eat one knowing someone had handled each one :-0

I feel silly, but I wish the green row were closet to the front for the color effect, but this is still very cool.
Actually the front should start with green, then blue then red and then purple.
Someone In Our Office Suffers From Perfection-atis
The bowls should have been placed either side of the spoons (ie bowl - spoon - spoon - spoon - bowl) and then they would have fitted perfectly,! #annoyed :P
It's not perfection-atis Ita actually OCD. ( obsessive compulsive disorder)
Oh the horror of the uneven numbers! 3 of everything, but 4 knives and 2 bowls??
Actually, there are 6 spoons, 3 knives, 4 forks and 2 bowls.

I saw that installation - the boxes had been left out in the open in various places containing nothing but sterlised compost and earth, with no seeds planted in them. Whatever life is in them now blew in on the wind etc. Some of them were very alive, many were still dead - despite having spent months necxt to each other being watered and warmed etc.

The people who did this forget two things: People actually have to buy products ie. take them from shelf and customers are a******s
As a reformed perfectionist; I no longer believe "perfection" exists, I believe that it is a human concept. And as someone who is learning to live life on life's terms. I would say that these are examples of people trying to the best that they can, and also have very high standards.
