I hate looking in an alphabetical phone book for a telephone number. I also hate using a dictionary for more than a few minutes at a time. Another thing I hate is selecting my country in dropdown menus on internet sites. UK is often listed at the top but when it isn't and I have to scroll through looking for U's for United Kingdom and if it isn't there have to scroll back up to look for England or GB, I start feeling sick, like all my senses are overwhelmed. I hate scrolling through long lists to find something that is in a certain place according to the alphabet. Does anyone else have this problem?

| No, they don't make me sick. But other things do, certain words for instance. |

I love alphabetical lists. I don't like looking for my country on dropdown menus though because it annoys me that sometimes it's right at the top instead of under E for England or U for UK.
I would rather scroll down to find it under the appropriate letter. |

| I like alphabetized lists, because then things ( theoretically) should be easier to find. You just scroll down to the proper letter. I hate it when they put certain things ( like countries) up at top, since by the time I realize that I've already scrolled down the page only to find nothing. UK and United States of America should be in the "U"'s, just as Canada is in the "C"'s and Italy is in the "I"'s. I hate inconsistency in this area. |

I feel the opposite. When list isn't quite in alphabetical order it really messes with me.
I made a great page at the library. The shelves were always in good order. Even today when browsing a shelf I can't help but reorder it correctly. |
