It's more of a quirk than anything. I can't say it has negatively impacted my life (I don't think I've even had food go bad that I bought to make the cart symetrical). The biggest inconvenience is that it affects my ability to enjoy fiction about people with numbers-OCD.
I have no problem hearing about people's actual number fixations or systems, especially people who are more bothered by it than me. I'm like "Yeah, your numbers aren't my numbers," but when it's fiction, I get very frustrated for some reason. Like I can't see why a writer would choose the wrong number. :)
