3. No, there isn't.
Anal retentive is a concept. Concepts cannot hold things. Therefore, there can't really "be" anything in anal retentive.

5. I'm psycho about......
My kitchen and my bathroom. As long as those rooms are dirty in my house I feel like the whole place is a fricken pig stye. I like to complain about how no body cleans the kitchen but me but when they DO I complain that they do it wrong. Its a sickness really. I have to do dishes in order. Glasses, silverware, bowls, other glass things, plates and then pans. I know. I'm nuts. LOL
