Do you do this too?

[aimz_yeah]

I sleep with the duvet in-between my legs. Makes for a difficult sleep in a sleeping bag

I also like to do this

 

[Naataaliiee]

All the mugs in the cupboard have to have their handles facing the same exact angle
My car has duel heating and both sides have to be on the exact same temperature... totally defeats the purpose of it
Plug switches all HAVE to be off, unless being used
I switch toilet rolls around constantly at work, at other homes... the loose toilet roll HAS TO fall down at the front of the roll and not the back!
Volumes have to be on a multiple of 5
I can’t have one of anything left over... one tin of beans, one apple. Drives me mad
Similarly, I cannot leave anything on my plate when eating. Everything has to be finished, including sauces or gravy. My husband is the opposite and HAS to leave something on his plate. It drives me NUTS!!!

 

[Summerdaysx]

At a self service or buffet I never take the top plate or tray. Feel other people will have handled it.
Have to tidy the kitchen before bed. Hate getting up to dirty dishes
Never leave the petrol tank go below half, I panic lol! My husband is the opposite he lets his run on fumes.
I’m sure there’s much, much more...

I'm the same with the petrol tank! Cant go under half way. I live in the middle of know where and the roads are really dark at night and I always think ill run out of petrol down one of the dark roads and be stranded on my own

I check the back and front doors are locked about 3 times before I go to bed. And all the windows

The amount of times I have to get myself out of bed because I convince myself I haven’t locked the front door. I always have.

I also have to press my car key 5 times to lock the car. Just in case.

A lot of mine have been said already like the even volume numbers etc.

I have to actually say to myself out loud that I have switched the straighteners/iron/any other hot appliance off before leaving the house, and they must also be off at the mains. If I haven't said it out loud I've been known to go back to the house after leaving just to double check!

The odd time I've not made my bed before leaving the house I've felt a weird incomplete kind of feeling all day its so hard to describe.

I have to start a task at 15, 30, 45 past the hour or on the hour whether it's waking up, starting to clean, cooking etc. And if it happens to go one minute past that time eg. 7.16 I will then have to procrastinate until 7.30 to start said task. I waste a lot of time

 

[ProphecyGirl]

Picture scenes or myself singing to songs when I am on a bus

 

[Chablis1]

I cannot bear two “noises” on at once. If the tv is on and my partner plays music on his phone it gives me serious fear one noise at a bloody time!!!

Same.

 

[Kim Mild]

I always a few leave beans in the can if I’m having beans on toast - I like to feel that some have escaped! If I feel that there isn’t enough left I’ll put a few back from the saucepan!

I'm sure some of them don't come out , there's always a few stragglers stay there.

 

[bolimepipi]

i cry over anything animal related
recently i saw a car slowly driving down a neighbourhood street and a dog running behind it, it made me think what if the owner is inside and the dog is running after him instead of the owner taking him on a nice walk, and just because of thinking this might be true i cried for half an hour
i usually don't cry over anything and am not emotional at all, but animals just get to me

 

[Mulholland Drive]

I have a 4 or 5 plastic tubes that are intentionally used for saving loose change - one for £1 coins, 1 for 50p and so on.

However, every single coin is dropped into the tubes Queen's head face-up

Same with my cash notes - they're all folded in my purse with the Queen's head facing me

 

[birdiefly246]

I do this. I also refuse to listen to adverts if I cannot skip them. YouTube is getting insanely bad for ads that cannot be skipped. I mute my show until the ad is over. I’m so petty

I do this! I used to laugh at my nan and grandad cause they would mute the ads and then unmute when the show came back on. I now do that exact thing. Mostly cause adverts are 3 times louder than the tv show! There's nothing worse than watching something and all of a sudden getting blasted by a tv ad!!

 

[Kim Mild]

I can not stand to be bare foot or in socks, it’s like I can not function at all, I have converse that I wear only in the house even with pyjamas, I can’t wear slippers either

I have house shoes. I hate being barefoot or walking in socks , I tend to trip over my toes and we have hard floors that are too cold. I hate it when I have to take my shoes off at people's houses. ( I was once at a friend's house who had limestone tiles and I had to be barefoot, it took me hours to get my feet warm again).
I can't wear slippers since I fell down the stairs in them .

 

[Gggshh]

I take great pleasure in secretly getting my boyfriend to eat food he says he doesn’t like

E.g. celery - finely chopped in with carrots and onion as a base for bolognese etc
Mustard - stirred into a white sauce
Cucumber - grated into yoghurt for a raita
Says he doesn’t like liver but will eat pâté all day long

I could think of more

Omg my husband claims he doesn’t like pork, made pork burritos and he asked what the meat was so I said mince. He assumed mince beef, I didn’t correct him, did he notice? No!

 

[ClockworkDolly]

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 always round up savings, especially when interest is added.

I can’t stand untidy bits of change!

 

[Libbylulu]

If I’m ill and need to stay in bed, I get up, shower, clean pyjamas, tidy the bed and room and then get back into bed, even if it all kills me. It ‘soothes’ being ill, ha!

 

[AnnaLee]

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 tend to switch things off at the wall too - appliances in the kitchen, Christmas lights, etc. However my husband rips everything out of the wall. Drives me nuts - that’s what the switch is for!

 

[Sparks]

I have to clean my hair brush after brushing my hair. It drives me nuts if there are strands in my brush. I have had my brush for years but you would never be able to tell.

I can't sleep in a bed that has not been made. If I don't have time to make my bed in the morning I will do it at night before I get in. To me it is not comfortable if it is not made.

I have to have the air flow on in the car. If someone turns that off in my head I start to panic thinking I will suffocate.

 

[Chablis1]

Volume must be set to an even number.

Another one here. I’m sure I get a twitchy eye if my daughter leaves it on an odd number.

 

[Meh]

If I take a glass of water from the tap I have to fill and empty the water 3 times before I drink it
I could never just go fill a glass of water from the tap and drink it

Yep! I work in the water industry and still stick by the ‘run the tap and count to 20’ rule.

I also cannot take a glass out the dishwasher or the cupboard and drink straight from it need to rinse it.

Cannot drink juice/water from a mug or cup. Has to be a glass. If I’m ever really thirsty and it’s the only thing available to drink from I will. But I loathe it.

 

[LDNtea]

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’m so jealous, pls teach me ur ways (never been a saver)
