Do you do this too?

[Pinkblush]

I can't and won't have plug ins, diffusers, scented candles, febreeze, air fresheners or anything that omits pollutents not even spray deodrants. I'm not a health nut. I drink coke and like a bit of junk food now again but the thought of sitting in a room breathing toxic air makes me shudder. I'm always pleased to get home when after visiting friends. I give scented candles and diffusers that I get as gifts to the charity shop.
Yet I wear perfume

I honestly thought it was just me who did these things. I can’t rest until I do them.

I honestly thought it was just me too. Its nice to know that I'm not the only one. I always think something bad is going to happen if I don't do them.

I always have to shut my bathroom door of a night time but don't care about any other doors though when my kids were small babies I used to have to tap on their cots a certain amount of times before bed

I have to clean my house myself, if my boyfriend does it (or tries to) it’s not clean imo and I have to do it again
I bin pennies because they look weird
All my laundry products have to be matching scents (detergent, fabric conditioner and unstoppables)
I pick at my food and take all the little crunchy bits off.. usually do this with kfc chicken strips
I don’t eat the ends of fries if they’re too pointy
I love chocolate buttons but hate eating the giant ones - only the standard size will do

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...

 

[watermelon sugar]

I hate eating when adverts are on! I'll sit and wait with my food if they are on until the show starts or carries on

 

[Belulah]

I have to make up names based on car registration plates. The letters are the initials. So PXG becomes Paris Xanthe Green. Then I think about what the person is like and what they might do for a job. I do this compulsively and it drives me bananas!

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

This thread is fun I love reading peoples ways.

 

[Giggling Squid]

Me and my other half argue about how the dishwasher should be loaded with plates all the time. It should be from the outside in, he thinks it should be inside out.

 

[Beverley Macker]

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

Oh my god I have to wrench the sheets and duvets out the second I check in, otherwise it’s like a straight jacket for my feet.

My mum used to find me hilarious when I was a child because I would never eat a packet of crisps if they were opened upside down. Nor would I eat a chocolate bar if it was broken before I opened it. I still check crisp packets are the right way up today before I open them I'm good with the chocolate now.

think we might be the same person!

Also my sister is the same with the fumes! She hates putting petrol in and I always get so annoyed with her. My main reason though is that having to call the breakdown company for no petrol is a waste of a call out and also it's just a completely avoidable reason to breakdown! Put petrol in your car. It's hardly a major chore if you're out anyway!

 

[Meangirl815]

Ok in bed i have to pull the quilt completely over me then stick my arms out, stick my legs and feet out and only have the quilt wrapped around my middle.

Can't finish a plate of food, have to leave something on the plate even if it's just a single chip.

TV volume must be on an odd number. I prefer odds to evens.

Spider check. Every room, every time.

 

[Nosymum]

Volume must be set to an even number.

This is just normal civilised behaviour isn’t it!

 

[Tilly3]

I can’t sit down to watch tv in an evening if I haven’t had a shower and put pjs on, if anything is out of place in the lounge before I settle it has to be moved, that includes the kitten too!!

 

[TinyHighlander]

I get my clothes out for morning the night before - I once went to work without a bra on as it was 6am, dark and I was half asleep. I put knickers/bra over the coat hanger of my top/bottoms so I don’t have to faff around in the drawer

Always make my bed on a morning. Although I open my window (whatever the weather), pull the duvet back and air my bed while I go downstairs and have my coffee. Then I come back up and make my bed. Everyday without fail.

I’m really funny about smells and like rooms to smell nice constantly. I’m always spraying air freshener / turning the reed diffuser sticks

This could have been written by me, I do all of the above! I feel I can’t function properly at 5.30 to put clothes together and look semi normal even if it is just to go on the bus and to work

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.

I do the opposite with crisps, always open them upside down!

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
