your eccentricities/habits

[sconeonamission]

Do you have any "strange" habits?

My eccentricities are :
I have to have the same colour peg on each item of clothing (eg: tshirt = 2 pegs. Both will have to be the same colour).
The dishes are washed in an order. Cups, cutlery, plates/bowls, saucepans/frypans. Or in the dishwasher - the cutlery tray has only one item of cutlery per thing. (eg: spoons in one, forks in another)
We have 4 pillows on our bed, two each. We each have a thick and a thin pillow. I have to have both thick pillows with the same pillow case, and the thins have a different one. (does that make sense?? When I made the bed the other night when this topic came up.. the thicks had a white pillow case and thins a yellow one)

I'm sure there are others. I know my mum does the pillowcase and peg thing too!
Am I weird or are there others out there??

LOL...nope def not on your own!

i have to stir tea, coffee, milo or any drink that requires stirring, 20 times. - if i go over i start again...yes i am strange

I do the peg thing too - you are not alone there! It drives me mad to see other people's washing sometimes! The only other one i can think of is that I can't stand things being squint - like pictures on the wall or cigarrette lighters in cars - they have to be straight.

DH has a stange one about volume controls - they have to be at an even number or if the volume goes up to a high number (our stereo goes up to 90), it has to go up in increments of 5.

What strange creatures we are

oh yeah, def has to be straight!! Also, my dvds and cds and books are in alphabetical order, or if they're a series, in sequence!

Not sure if this really counts but We have our clothes line on our verandah. One outside line that goes aroud the outer edge and an inside line that goes around on the inside of the verandah.

I MUST hang all smalls (bras knickers socks and jocks) on the inside line and all larger items on the outside line so when people (well IL's) come up from the back of the house they don't cop and eye full of underwear.

The only other thing is washing MUST be sorted into the following piles, fluffy (thick socks, towels, tea towels and jumpers) Whites and lights, mixed colours and darks. I get really narky if DH mixes up the piles or uses the wrong detergent yes I have 3 detergents on the go for the various types of washing.
