Hotel room

She:

Selects fresh hand towel. Folds it in half and lays it beside the sink. Removes toiletries from suitcase, arranging them on the towel by function: nails here, eyes over here, lotions in this place, medicines in that. Rearranges by time of day and order of use. Rearranges with taller items in back, shorter in front. Rearranges by function within time of day. Clears off towel, moves it to the opposite side of the sink; rearranges toiletries on towel. Satisfied, goes to hang up clothes and arrange lingerie neatly in drawers. Places empty suitcase in closet behind shoes.

He:

Drops suitcase on chair. Removes Dopp kit (that’s sponge bag for those of you East of the pond) from suitcase, places beside sink. Thinks deeply about settling in for the length of the stay: finally commits to unzipping kit. Satisfied, turns on ESPN; plans to hang shirt near the shower in the morning in case there are any really bad wrinkles.

— Frenulum (based on a few recent observations)
