    Whats your "weird" behaviour?

    When I'm frustrated about something, I just want to clean. Vacuum, clean bathrooms, sweep the floor, dust, and I do it fast!!

    My house is really tidy!!

    I hate bare feet (my own). I hate things sticking to my feet and hate them being dirty. Even in the house I usually wear socks or slippers all the time. Even on hot days. I don't like touching other people's feet if they look dirty or unkept/festy.

    I ALWAYS wash my feet before going to bed. Even if I have had my shower in the evening =P

    I used to have my toilet paper going over the top of the roll. Now as long as its on the holder & not covering the floor I don't care!

    My MIL gave me a peg problem too. Same type & colour for each piece of clothing.

    I hate cupboard doors open. Kids keep leaving my pantry door open & its driving me nuts.

    I also prefer the volume on en even or 5 number. But sometimes I'll purposely put it on an odd number for kicks

    My curtains HAVE to be open through the day. I don't care how hot it is, or how much power I waste when my air con is on, I hate having my curtains closed. Its depressing.

    So I think I'm just following the trends of everyone else

    Except that I hate shoes... I wear thongs outside & nothing inside. I wear thongs all year round unless my toes are about to fall off

    Yup. That. DH thinks it's hilarious and wants to break me of it. I figure a) I do all the laundry, so bugger off, b) it doesn't hurt anyone, so bugger off. Actually most of my oddities are laundry-related. Socks, nappies etc have to be hung by type/colour/labels facing the same way.

    Oh and I'm with Kaytee - finish off the last thing before you start a new one. Even if there's a new tub of icecream and you *feel* like the new flavour, for the love of all that is holy, my DH, finish off the old one, will you?!

    Actually I am less and less incline to buy bulk packs of medications, eg our antihistamines or generic paracetamol, as DH will open the box from either end and take tablets from a new foil strip without finishing the one that has already been started. SO while you think you have most of a pack left, it actually is almost empty.

    My coat handers have to be the same way too.
    I also have to have the toilet paper a certain way, and will change it if it's not my way, where ever I am.
    Sterio/TV volume must be even numbered too.

    Wow! I'm totally germy, messy and filthy compared to you ladies.

    Ummmm I hate the cupboard door thing too, and I have to have the linen cupboard neat. I also like a clean kitchen, but nothing out of the Ordinary.

    You know Ive never even noticed pegs or volume numbers or coffee cup handles or labels...?

    I like things to be in their place though and if I can't find a home for something I bin it/salvo it. I don't like excess stuff.

    Haha I knew I wasnt the only one, with some funny quirks!
    When eating salted peanuts I will only eat the whole ones not the 'broken' halves. Probably a good thing cause it means I wont eat handfuls of them in case the broken ones are in there.

    At my work ( I work with food ) If someone else has stocked the fridge before me, and the rows are uneven, drinks in the wrong spot, i HAVE to move everything about until it is how I was first told it had to be, and the first row usually has the biggest part of the lable/logo facing out, even though the customers cant really see the fridge very well from the counter.. and the boxes, so many boxes! Just thrown everywhere and anywhere or with only a few things in there. I have to empty it, flatten it and take it out the back.

    At home I cant stand curtains open at night, even the tiniest little gap creeps me out! Toilet seat always down, I live with 3 males, My DP, My brother and his DP, they all put the seat down.. Apart from my brother and boy does he know about it when he does it! and cupboard doors too for me. And our fridge at home has to be stocked right too (I blame work for that one!)
    If I am the one putting dishes away, the plates/bowls have to be right, my mum got me a set of black and red ones, and they HAVE to go black red black red!

    I never realised how many things i was a bit anal about before!

    I hate it when the rug is flipped over at the corner or the blinds are up/down unevenly.

    Dishwasher has to be stacked my way (i.e. properly!) or it gets re-stacked.

    At the supermarket check-out I always put groceries on the belt thingie in order of where they go when they get home - all the cold stuff first, pantry stuff, fruit, veg etc. DH knows to go straight to bag and trolley duty when I'm doing this or I get really frustrated with his attempts to 'help'. It's the way my mum did it, it's the way I did it and I bet my daughter does it too!

    I'm another one who memorises number plates...

    Coat hangers all have to be a certain way and all the hanging clothes facing the same direction

    I also like to count things to find the middle (e.g. the middle curtain in vertical blinds)

    I like the dishwasher stacked a certain way - I swear DH purposely puts the bowls where the plates are supposed to go...

    I know there are heaps more but I can't think of them for now.
