Just a thread about random little things you do and you wonder if anyone else does

E.g. When I pay my credit card or add to savings it always has to take it to a round number. Either a multiple of 5 or 10. And no pennies on the end.

I do something similar, I pay my credit cards and I'm left with an odd number so I take that odd figure and bung that into savings. For example after paying my cards I've got £2,168, I put the £168 into savings. (Oh and I have 2K in the bank at all times, it's my safety buffer)

I have a triple light switch. I have to ensure they are all the same way when turned off so I go around the room switching lights on and off until they are all the same.

I'm sure 99% of us do the same, but when filling up at a petrol station it always has to be on the pound (£30, £45, £60 etc).

When the petrol pump clock gets to £28.50 I reduce the flow of petrol into the car so that the clock slows to £28.70....£29....£29.85....£29.98...£29.99... £30!!!!)

And I get rather stressed if I go over by a penny!

Crazy ,lol

I do this!
I also cannot STAND to see a plug socket switched on with nothing in it. I have to turn it off, whether it's in my house or not

I also do the money having to be even, no pennies etc left

The TV has to be on an even number, or my eye starts to twitch.
But If I'm decorating or placing knick knacks about I like odd numbers.

Haha I’m like this. I specifically drive to the petrol stations that have the preset buttons on so the machine does it for me and I have no panics

loads of people have to have the volume at an even number but I have to have it a certain level. Doesn't matter the number but one number too high is too loud and one number below is too quiet. I have sensory issues so I think that's why.

When I’m going to sleep I tuck my duvet under my feet at the bottom

Volume at an even number or a multiple of 5
Ahh, I like it loose at the end. I hate it at hotels when they tuck the end of the bedding in. I do however, cocoon myself at the top... I love my face being between duvet and pillow

I have to have it loose but like tucked in around me. I sleep with the duvet in-between my legs. Makes for a difficult sleep in a sleeping bag

Volume has to be even or 5- drives me mad, because 11 is the ideal volume wise on my car and I can’t deal with with

I always round up savings, especially when interest is added.

I can’t stand untidy bits of change!

Switch everything off at the mains at night (always paranoid of a fire breaking out). Also can’t stand to see the switch on and nothing plugged in, I have to switch it off.

Sleep with a pillow between my legs. Have done it since I was pregnant with my first child and had terrible SPD. I get sciatica and lower back aches and pains in general due to the physical aspect of my job over the years, and I find it more comfortable.

I really enjoy Revolut's (banking app) 'spare change' feature. I make most my day-to-day expenses using Revolut, and with spare change function turned on, it rounds off the change from my purchases.. transferring them into a little savings account. I've already accumulated €121.09 (not a nice round number haha) from this feature over the past year that's going towards my holiday fund.
