The darker side of Virgo
Critical, pedantic and peevish, nothing will ever be good enough in your eyes. You're a firm believer in there being a right and a wrong way to do a thing - and you're the first to point out when it's not been done right.
You're so lost in small detail that you fail to see the bigger picture. Show you a beautiful sunlight forest and you'll complain that the trees aren't quite tall enough, or perhaps too far apart. You're a fusspot of the highest order and can while away hours of your life straightening cushions and ironing creases down the front of your pyjama bottoms.
Dating and relationships
Is there anyone out there good enough for you? You're so picky; you rarely get to the end of a date without escaping out of the bathroom window. You were quick to take up online dating. At least that way you can screen potential candidates with a 100-word questionnaire, and penalise those who return it late.
Once in a relationship, your partner can look forward to a lifetime of being corrected on every small matter imaginable. You believe in tough love, and like to tell it like it is. If only your other half hadn't gone deaf from your nagging years ago, they could have benefited from your superior wisdom.
At work
You got the job due to your attention to detail, impeccable dress sense and punctuality. Since you turned up the stationary cupboard has been an ordered room of calm. Every folder, pen and eraser is colour coded and cross-referenced by size, number and type. The only problem is that no one can be bothered to fill in the 10-page request form.
At first, your workmates love you for taking on all the menial jobs with enthusiasm. The problem starts once you've finished overhauling the company's systems and start picking apart your colleagues.
