I'm surprised--in my very curosry, quick reading of this thread--that nobody's mentioned slothful, n. form sloth.

Interesting to note that "sloth" is one of the seven deadly sincs, but anal-rententiveness is not.

Compulsive behavior is interesting, but there are folks for whom compulsiveness really becomes pitiful behavior. I heard once of such a person who reorganized already completely organized objects late into the night. She would do so until 5:00 a.m., and, finally, fall exhausted into bed. I can't remember all the stories a relative of hers told me, but, upon hearing them, I realized that there's a big difference between being somewhat compulsive in habits about order and going way over the line so that order becomes a tyrant.

Tending myself toward compulsive slothfulness,
