Bed linen! I'll only have white Egyptian cotton. Staying somewhere with polycotton bedding feels like sleeping on a Ryvita. 😂

my biggest issue is toothbrushes. Can’t be in the bathroom, it lives in my bedroom with me as I can’t bear the thought of poo and wee particles being on it!!
I do this too! My bf has started doing it too since he met me. I had to train him to make sure he keeps the seat down when flushing as the thought is just uggghh

I have to iron in a certain order without fail all the time.

- Shirts/blouses first - short sleeve before long sleeve.
- Jumpers next, round necks then v necks
- Casual trousers/jeans next
- Then work trousers last

This is just my clothes btw. My other half isn’t too bothered when he irons and just does it in any old order.

If I iron his stuff and his son’s clothes, I have to arrange their stuff the same way! 😆 My brain won’t compute otherwise!!
 
I cant stand walking round barefoot, I have to be wearing slippers or socks. Never outside shoes in the house though
I hate walking barefoot too. I have a pair of shoes that I only wear in the house as I can't walk in slippers cos I don't find them supportive. ( I have memory foam flat shoes, not wedge mules like middle aged women seem to wear).

My inbox has only the emails i need to action... my desk stop can't have too many files saved.

They all have a folder to be filed too.

My work desk at home has to be clean and tidy

Yes, I'm the same. My inbox has to be tidy otherwise I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.

I have access to my bosses inbox and it drives me insane, he doesn't delete anything (even junk!), he doesn't file anything when it's dealt with and he leaves random messages unread for weeks!

Clothes hung incorrectly on the washing line. It annoys me if my other half does it wrong (in my eyes) the clothes have to be hung upside down but he will hang shirts from the shoulders 😠😂. Yes, I take it off and re hang it 🤷🏻‍♀️

My neighbour hangs her washing all wrong too and it drives me nuts to the point where I can't even look out my kitchen window incase I see it 🤭

This is going to sound odd, but my shower routine!!!

shampoo my hair, soap, then body scrub, shower gel on a sponge, hair conditioner (let that sit while I shave my legs), then shower cream, wash out conditioner, and a final wash and rinse.

then I get out, put on my face serum and a sheet mask, I moisturise my whole body (one hydrating moisturiser and one that smells good), I towel dry my hair and put a leave in conditioner on. Then I make a cup of tea, dry my hair, take off my mask and moisturise my face. Then I put on deodorant and body spray and I’m done

I’m not kidding I do this every day. I leave out the hair stuff if I’m not washing my hair that day.
I get severe anxiety staying over at anyone’s house because I can’t do the full routine 😭 theres no such thing as a “quick” shower in the morning for me 😣

I no longer hang washing out purely because the area I live has now become somewhat undesirable and things have been stolen from others gardens, but my neighbour is probably safe since the colour and state of some of the ratty towels she hangs out lol. We all have those old dis-coloured towels and pyjamas that we refuse to bin, but I wouldn't dare hang them outside. She also hangs underwear outside for everyone to see, that's a big no-no for me.

Definitely a no for underwear, I’m even funny about hanging my children’s underwear on the little swirly underwear holder I put them in the middle and tea towels around so neibours can’t see them. Yes, I understand I sound completely nuts 🤣

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.
Haha I’m the exact same! I don’t care if my weekend bag is heavy, I am bringing my ghd hairdryer and straighteners 😂 I took my hairdryer to the USA and it didn’t work due to the voltage, so I went to a ‘drugstore’ and bought a good American hairdryer 😆

Omg. Me too. I've never met anyone with the same preference. People think I'm mad when I say I don't drink tea/coffee and would have an ice-cold drink after each meal but reject it if they've given it to me at room temp 😂

Taking food out of the fridge to get to room temperature. I hate cold cheese, salad, houmous etc. I even take out yoghurt so it's not too cold. Can't stand cold food.

I very rarely drink tap water, always have bottled and stick with the same brand I’ve been drinking for years. I usually drink around 1.5/2 litres per day. I have to drink this at room temperature.

If I’m using salad dressings, which are usually kept in the fridge, I take them out about an hour or so before eating. Room temperature it is.

Chocolate is the only thing I like straight from the fridge.

This is going to sound really nuts, but, I hate anyone sitting in my favourite chair. It has my cushion on it, my throw and I always feel like I have to give them a good wash if anyone else has plonked their a on my soft furnishings - how dare they?!! 🤣🤣 I am a bit like that with my leather sofa, it is cream leather and sometimes family members have dumped their handbags on the sofa, so I move the ones with sticky-out buckles and things like that, so they don’t scratch my sofa. Plus, I always feel like, “I don’t know where this handbag has been” so I don’t want it tainting my sofa. 🤣🤣

I remember one family member asking once if I had bought a new sofa, “no dear, I just look after my stuff and that is why it is in good condition.” 🤣🤣

I moved house last year, then lockdown, no visitors - thank duck for that! 🤣🤣

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.
Me too with green bananas. Let them ripen at home and away from other fruit.
