I am absolutely anal about the way the dishwasher is stacked. My husband just throws stuff in any which way. I ALWAYS have to take it out and rearrange it.
oooh i'm this way about hanging clothes out to dry / on the airer!

Cold drinks MUST be iced- I won’t drink water/juice/coke etc without ice cubes!! No room temp beverages for me 🤮 Also, it doesn’t matter how hot I am, I always have to have my blanket draped over me on the sofa or else I’m not comfy 😂

I won’t drink out of a bottle, can or anything that anyone else has. The thought of it makes me feel sick.

cold drinks have to be ice cold.

Same here. My boyfriend hangs clothes out in a way that makes no sense, he will hang long sleeve tops and bottoms so they are dragging on the floor, pants and socks near the top?! Have to grit my teeth and say thank you every time he decides to be helpful with the laundry....!

Sharing anything in the office is a no no for me, if someone takes my pen I tell them to keep it. Always pisses me off though cause I can't just use any old pen, it has to be steadtler blue ones or the bic ones with the 4 colours, i just find they write really well and I won't use anything else. Pre covid some guy took my pen to sign something and he put it to his mouth, told him just keep it... stinking. :sick:

I am also really fussy about how the clothes horse/dishwasher is done, My partner does them both terribly but I don't complain because atleast he is doing it lol.

When I go to Tesco everything needs stacked neatly in the trolley and then packed neatly into my bags, certain things in different bags.

Bottled water. Never had tap water anywhere, home or abroad, that doesn't have a synthetic/chemical taste to it.

Just drinks/dairy/meat/based stuff in the fridge. No bread, fruit, veg, eggs

Purposely bought a dining room table made old hard wearing salvaged wood just because I can't stand
table cloths, runners, place mats and coasters. I've even been gifted them when people see I don't
have them. Awkward.

My husband tried to use that old trick of stacking the dishwasher incorrectly in the hope I would take over that task but instead he
got training sessions in how to do it ;) .

I have to buy green bananas and eat them when they are green/yellow. I can't stand fully ripened ones.

Toilet seat must be down when flushing.

Dishes must be rinsed / all food wiped off before going in the dishwasher.

I can't wash unpaired socks. Infact I can't deal with unpaired socks. Don't pair them in this house they get binned. My boyfriend only has plain black socks. I pair them and bin the spare.

Have to have clothes hung properly on the horse or on the line. If it is a matching set, it has to be next to eachother. It annoys me that my boyfriend throws them on with no thought. Socks again dried in pairs 🤣

I HATE artifical light and artifical heat! My boyfriend likes a warm house. I can't bare radiators on, it feels like I can't breathe. I would rather wear an extra layer! We have thermostat wars often.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! What about when everything is all bunched up? Or when the underwear is crinkled in a miscellaneous order? I smile and say "thanks" but my boyfriend knows I don't really mean it! ☺

I can’t have ketchup touch any vegetable, makes me want to vom.

I don’t like to eat a yogurt where any of the foil lid has stuck on the rim, will sit and pick it off.

I can’t look at a plug that’s on with nothing plugged into it, will walk across rooms to turn them off.

I am the same with the washing on the line! tops with tops, towels with towels etc... my partner just sticks them on any shape he likes. He actually does it badly so I take over but weirdly I enjoy it so don't mind

If the curtains are drawn I hate even a tiny bit of gap. I’ll sit there and let it bug me until I can be arsed to get up and close them (or I’ll ask someone else to do it).

Fresh air. All my previous boyfriends think I’m insane but like above with radiators, the air doesn’t feel right if it’s not fresh. I must have the windows open, even in winter, and don’t get me started on people who sleep with their nose under the duvet. Can’t cuddle someone to sleep because my breathing feels too warm. I don’t know how to explain it!

I cant stand dirty toilets, first thing in the morning the toilet gets bleach down it and sprayed with Dettol spray all over and wiped down. Also gets bleach thrown down during the day as well.
Also I wont eat buffet food ever as I once had really bad food poisoning from some rice dish at a work's do. I also wont eat frozen crap like a ready meal from Iceland. Just no. I don't like frozen food full stop.
An unusual one, the cats dishes have to be very clean as well. I'm always soaking them.

If I could ❤ this 100 times, I would.
I HATE ripe bananas, the smell, the texture, the taste.
Don't even get me started on banana bread :sick:

Ah yes! I also have my bedroom window wide open in all weather's too. My boyfriend has even accused me of doing it just to get on his bits! I've done it from as early as I can remember.
 
I hate drinks being ice cold out the fridge, I prefer to drink everything room temp.

Cutlery has to be matching. Other half constantly pulls out a knife and fork from different sets. Can't use them. Have to match or it winds me up.
God yes! I hate when I go to a restaurant and they don't match! I feel awkward asking for a matching one I usually find someone else at the table to swap with. 😂
