Big lights!! If my boyfriend goes to bed before me, I'll come in and he's reading with the big light on when the lamp is right next to him. Bizarre.
I’m the same - I hate rooms being warm and stuffy. I had the windows open the other week when it was -5 and snowing! I love fresh, crisp air blowing through the house. Don’t get me started on being warm in bed on a night... hate it!
Also worked with a man like this. I swear, the cure for covid was probably growing in those mugsa guy at my old job never washed his mug, he’d just pour whatever’s left in it out and make himself a new drink in the same mug. He’d been doing it every day for years, the inside of his mug was pure black
I am really particular in that I must make my bed every morning and open up my blinds and curtains.
The thought of my house lying on darkness with unmade beds makes feel sick.
I also never use overhead lighting in my rooms. Lamps, candles and ambient lighting only.
Also do “checks” before going to bed: check both my doors and windows downstairs, check in my wardrobe and behind my curtains (have a divan so don’t need to look under my bed) This is through a fear of intruders. My family have always asked what I’d do if I opened my cupboard and someone was standing there. My answer? Probably piss myself whilst having a heart attack. Sincerely hope this never happens but I can’t sleep without my checks.
When I was a kid and went to my friend's house, her Mum used to do with every single cupboard and drawer in the kitchen. Apparently she was 'airing them'.
Oh gosh, I HATE cupboards left ajar!
My mum also does this incredibly irritating thing of when she’s reading a newspaper, she folds the page back (fine, just about) but when she’s finished instead of taking 2 seconds to flip back to the front page she just folds it in half horizontally on whatever random middle page she ended up on, so for anyone else to read it you basically have to do origami and take it apart to get it back to the front page... it’s been driving my dad nuts for 40 years so I doubt she’ll be stopping anytime soon but it’s INFURIATING!

People who DONT PUT THINGS BACK WHERE THEY FOUND THEM GRRRRRR
Same! My husband always takes the mickey saying I'm worried about "sneaky peekers".
Mine says similar! I’ve told him I’ve seen enough horror films to know that some creep will be lurking at our window if we leave a gap
Crumbs. I hate crumbs on the table, kitchen worktops and floor. Bare feet on crumbs underfoot is torture. Yhanks goodness for the cordless hoover.
Which one have you got? My cordless one was terrible and didn’t suck up the bits (totally defeats the object!!!!!!)
Names beginning with a capital letter. Twice now I have ordered personalised crafty bits from people and they have put the name all lowercase. It annoys me so much that I don't want to buy it and know I won't display or use it but still end up paying because I don't want to offend the friend who made it.
Drives me bonkers. I find it so careless lol.

A dyson...it’s about 18 months old so there’s probably a new version. It’s def not as good as a corded but it’s fab for those quick whip rounds that need to be done so much more often now we r all home. I hoover downstairs every day.
I'd say if the name was spelled wrong but I wouldn't think I'd need to specifically ask for the name to begin with a capital letter. Surely that's a given?
Also is it spelled/spelt? I'm not the grammar police at all and confess I make spelling mistakes. I just think it's pretty basic stuff to know names begin with a capital lol.

I’m a bit like Joey-doesn’t-share-food in that I hate sharing food on my plate - steal a chip and i will curse you as you’ve tainted my plate 
I portion everything fairly so stick to your own plate!

I hoover about 3 times each day... I cannot stand walking with bare feet and feeling bits underfoot
I have to put my little one’s toys away properly, ie all pieces in the correct set, all parts there. It really bugs me when my husband just shoves pieces of random toys in her toy box!!!
All books on a book shelf have to face the correct way, be grouped together and I cannot STAND bent pages or covers.
Don’t even get me started on the kitchen worktop, counters and sink!!

My cup of tea has to be piping hot to drink it
If it’s been sat for about 10mins I will re-heat in the microwave
Cannot stand warm tea
Windows open in my bedroom all year round come rain/wind/snow/freezing outside
Love to be cool and airy not hot and stuffy
I hate summer trying to sleep
The big light I’m seriously considering taking there lightbulbs out!!
Hate hate hate the big light!
Lamps and candles in the evening always!!
Can’t stand people leaving lights on in the house
If one of the children leave it on at night time I can’t settle and have to get up and turn it off or if really comfy text them to turn bathroom light off
I hate going to bed and leaving anyone downstairs
I like to know we are all upstairs and in bed and everything is turned off/shut down and locked up downstairs
Water has to be icy cold
We have lots of bottles in the fridge
Would rather be late to work or wherever I’m going in the morning then not make the beds and open curtains and blinds!
To come home to un-made beds gives me the boak!
Won’t share my drink with anyone else yuck

my space has to be tidy before i start working - i'll go through the entire house before i sit down and crack on with work, and every room has something in particular that i always have to ''fix'', be it straightening a remote control or flushing the toilet because there's a crumb in it
