Crumbs. I hate crumbs on the table, kitchen worktops and floor. Bare feet on crumbs underfoot is torture. Yhanks goodness for the cordless hoover.
Ooh yes!! Counters must always be wiped after eating. And I sweep and run the cordless vacuum twice a day or so over the floor, lol

Tap water, will not drink tap water unless I add a flavouring.

Same goes for bottled water, plain water is vile.

I can't drink cold tea, if it's not burning the roof of my mouth I don't want it. Lukewarm tea is the pits!

I also can't stand the sight of toothbrushes, knowing they've been in someones manky mouth gives me the boke 🤮
My kids & hubby have to put covers on theirs and then they put them in their own drawer in the bathroom cupboard.

Clothes have to be sorted in the wardrobe. When I last saw mum in her care home I spent ages rearranging them properly. The staff thought I'd gone loopy, but that's just me.
 
Everything has an exact place. And I mean everything. I can walk into a room and know if something has been used and not put back correctly - it drives my partner mad and I’m really trying to calm down, but unless I put things back where they live I get a horrible, hot, itchy feeling all over my skin and I can’t settle! As a kid my siblings used to love going into my room and rearranging my bookshelf or moving something a few CMs, to then enjoy my absolutely insane breakdown.

I’m also obsessed with washing my hands. I’ll stroke my dog - instantly wash my hands. Touch the front door - instantly wash my hands. Go in the fridge - instantly wash my hands. Etc. My family (and me) are very confused that I spend my days touching ill people and their bodily fluids, I have no explanation for it.

Annoyingly I'm so particular about my hairdryer, straighteners and brushes! If it isn't a good hairdryer like a parlux or similar then it just makes me hair awful! Same with straighteners. My friend has a pair of Remingtons and they just don't cut the mustard. I gotta have a Kent comb lol. Plastic ones just snap your hair! So every time I go away, I just don't trust the hairdryers lol.

I only like milky tea and no one seems to be able to make it right expect me 😂🙈

I am also particular about white wine or prosecco, champagne or beer. It's GOT to be chilled!

Wires freak me out as well. I can't let wires just dangle they have to be neat and tidy, out of sight.

Throws on the couch is a big one for me - I've had to learn to accept that with a nearly one year the couch isn't always gonna be perfect. Before that if a pillow or throw was skew wiff I'd have to re arrange the whole thing!

Crumbs on a counter gives me the boke

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 thought I was the only one who hates big lights. So glad I’m not alone!

My teenage son has several lamps (which he asked for), two with colour-changing bulbs, and the room looks great when they’re on. Whenever you go in there, he’s got the big light on though!

Wine has to be cold (exc red).
Tea/coffee has to be piping hot and in a clean mug (I have a fave mug at mine and my mums and no one else is allowed to use it!).
Big light is never on and curtains closed fully before I can relax on an evening.
Washing on clothes horse or line in a certain way.
Dishes done and surfaces cleaned in kitchen before bed.
I have to check the house including cupboards before going to bed for intruders/monsters before I can sleep 😂

Being a single parent helps with a lot of these as it’s me doing most of the tidying and cleaning with my son being so young at the moment so it’s all done my way with no argument 😂

Opposite for me. Plain ice cold mineral water is my favourite drink and if I'm in a pub and they add a slice of lemon or lime I ask for another one!

I have to check the house too, mainly the front and back doors to check if they are locked, also making sure the
window in the Bathroom is shut. My Mother does this but I have to do it after she does, she's 90.

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.
The TV programme, This Morning do this. It's so annoying. This morning with holly & phil. Like why?

Another one who loathes wire hangers (and yes, they do remind me of the movie, "Mommy Dearest").

Lights turned up to maximum wattage - I prefer dim light at night; if I'm reading then I'll turn on a reading light, but otherwise I like as little light as possible.

TVs and radios being left on when nobody is in the room watching or listening to them.

I like everything to line up ... in my wardrobe, on my desk ... everything must be neat and tidy.

In the wardrobe, everything must be sorted by colour and type ... e.g., white shirts all together, followed by white jerseys, etc.

Another big light hater here!

my husband has a habit of using used mugs as mini rubbish bins, depositing crisp packets, apple cores, fruit peelings,nail clippings inside them. Whoever does the washing up then has to clear out all the rubbish first - turns my stomach!

My boyfriend does that. Not the nail clippings mind that is gross 😂 but he sticks all his rubbish inside a mug and just plonks it by the sink. Why can't you just put it in the bin!?
