The problem with trying it (at least when planing things) is that you end being called "Nitpicker", "Nerd", "awkward", "you can't leave things in peace"...

Weirdly enough, the biggest successes were in projects where I perseverated to get everything really good cleared and described. But at the end, nobody seemed to remember that it would have gone totally different without my "nitpickerness"

And then they wonder why some workers leave some jobs...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
