We had a German housemate at University, who we called The Detail Meister after a VW ad at the time* and because he was so.. German. Everything had to be Just So and ordered.
Anyway, it was very easy to pick apart his world - every couple of days we'd turn around all the hangars in his wardrobe or mirror the [very particular] order of the food in his cupboards, logically re-jig the particulars of his finely tuned existence. Things so small and pointless, but constant, that you could feel the puzzlement when he came into the living room each morning - he knew things were changing, but quite how so, he obviously couldn't tell. It took him a long time to work out that it was down to his stupid stoner housemates, feeding his alien continental neuroses and confusion.
Needless to say, he didn't return to Germany filled with a vast amount of respect for his Island Monkeys brothers.
* (funny thing was, he then went back to Dusseldorf to become a Quality Engineer for VW)
