Do you do this too?

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

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.
