OCD or plain bonkers!

I dislike...yes, even HATE it when checkout staff blow their noses then continue to touch my shopping on the belt, even opening the bread bag to see the bread rolls. I now always use the self service tills.
I also used to put the heaviest items on the conveyer first and the lightest last, as that is how I pack them and I too, like the OP, have my own particular way of hanging clothes on the line and folding them when dry. I don't like anyone else doing it for me...thank you very much.

I am fussy where it’s also practical. Separate whites and colours for washing, hang small stuff first, hang from waistband for skirts and trousers, bottom for all else, socks in pairs but really not bothered about peg colour.
Shopping on conveyor belt so that heavy items can be packed first and also fridge and freezer stuff separately so that unpacking at home is easier. Clothes by item but necessarily colour coded.
I think I’m reasonably tidy and practical but not ott. My home is lived in but fairly well organised.
Given the choice of tidying cupboards or a meal out with friends the cupboards can always wait..........but not for too long.

*not necessarily colour coded

When I do a supermarket shop I have different bags for meat, dairy and other chilled items, veg&fruit, bread and dry goods and heavy items . Dh thinks Im incredibly fussy and when he shops he does it all wrong -everything jumbled together. If I point this out he harrumphs that I should do my own shopping next time so I now try not to complain. He also loads the dishwasher wrong and unloads it in the wrong order but gets cross when I say so. He puts mugs away wrong too - I have a set on a mug tree but he puts any old mugs on there. Otherwise I dont think Im fussy at all!

Has anyone else noticed, how people leave their pegs attached to the washing line. All winter in some cases. I recall my Nan wiping the line down before handing the washing out! At least I have a cover on mine.

What happened to being ecologically friendly Glammanana? I wash everything at 30 and my 'whites' are as bright as a button!!!!!

Oh yes order must reign in all things to do with washing, hanging, and folding!

I like hanging my washing my way, and I like to stack the dishwasher my way!

Yes, Silverlinings I still hang out my washing in the same way as you. My grandmothers and great-aunts made quite sure of that when I was a child helping on washing days.

My paternal grandmother was horrified when my mother hung her own underpants on the same clothes-line as my father's. My mother thought she was joking and flippantly replied, "But we are married, so I suppose our underpants are too" Can you imagine what that did to the MIL - DIL relationship?

No washing line or dishwasher now, washer dryer saves a lot of time, clothes that can't be tumble dried go on the airer. Washing up is usually done last thing at night & left to dry unless I've been out all day & there's only a couple of items.

Shopping goes on conveyor belt in order & I like to pack heavy items first, fruit & veg together, any cleaning products & deordorants etc must go in a separate bag away from food

I do like things in the right place, Tea, Coffee & Sugar cannisters must be in the right (logical) order ready for use

Would that I could delight in the niceties of matching colours of clothing to pegs etc. I just have enough energy to survive,making as many short cuts as necessary

Everything in my house has a place and I am a complete clean freak... however my car is an absolute tip. Wonder what a psycologist would make of that!

Yes, I will admit to being a bit fussy about the washing line but not as bad as y 6 year old GD when helping me - each item has to have the coloured plastic pegs matching - no mix of blues and greens etc! And yes DH could drive me mad at the checkout when he puts the bread on when I'm still loading on the heavier items which always go first for me.

So I'm sitting here desperately trying to think of anything I might get a little obsessed about! I can't think of anything. I'm not an overly tidy person but the house is reasonable at most times. Washing is just washing! However, there is just one thing, completely unrelated to any previous posts. I have to listen till the absolute end of any song/theme tune/commercial music etc before I turn it off or change channels. Leaving a song in mid tune makes me feel uncomfortable and strangely unsettled! The nearer the end it is the worse that feeling is. God forbid anyone who cuts it off at the last but one note! Arghhhh. ;-) ;-)

That should say God help! Not God forbid!

I have a wheely gig which I use in good weather and I always put underwear in the innermost parts (don't want the neighbours seeing them!), then t-shirts, blouses etc in the middle and lastly towels and thick-ish stuff on the outside.
My house isn't too tidy but with this I am obviously a bit of a fuss-pot.

Exactly as you do silver. Whites and pales on one wash, darks in another, and work clothes in yet another. Bright colours wash in summer. Also fussy about dishwasher loading.

Thank goodness I am not the only one who has a 'way' for doing everything. My methods are usually based on logic and cut time and effort:- the maximum effect for the minimum output. But I am OCD about everything. I can't bear crumbs on the kitchen side or things to be out of their place, for example.

My dear OH is just as bad as me and we have had to agree that he gets to pack the dishwasher in the evening while I get sole dibs on the morning stacking.

We know how to live! On the plus side, while we may be sad, sorry bores, it is easy to make us happy.

I do separate whites and colours, hot wash and delicates and as my washing can be seen from the road undies are always on the inside so as not to shock the neighbours ?. I wouldn’t dream of changing how a visitor made their bed though as in my experience people differ greatly on how they like their bed clothes when they sleep - some like the covers tucked in and some like them loose

All of the above and more! Except the clothes peg thing which I think I may be doing from now on ...

In a previous life, I think I might have been a laundry maid. I love all aspects of the laundry process including ironing. Sad, eh?

As for pegs, mine are coloured plastic ones and they must be co-ordinated on the line, so that each item has not matching, but contrasting colours. Great satisfaction when pegging out a four cornered item like a bottom sheet. All four colours can be used. Deep joy!

Order of pegging out: of course smalls on the inside of the rotary drier away from nosey parkers. Labels must always be folded out of sight. I have also looked on YouTube for the best way to iron a fitted sheet.....

The OH has learnt none of this. I wonder if it's a ploy....

My house is chaotic but my washing line is Olympic Gold medal winning standard. Sometimes I just stare at my lovely work. I don't peg socks out though, I have one of those oval plastic hanger things (Lakeland Soft Grip Peg Smalls Dryer) where I peg the socks on, then hook it on the line.
Sadly my washing machine door lock is broke yesterday & it's a great drying day today...argh.....

You’ve just described me to a tee, I’ve always done that it’s just easier for the ironing then as I do exactly the same then... sorry if I’m weird.

You and me both. I am sure it takes longer for me to hang out my washing than it takes my machine to wash them . I also have a selection of pegs. One sort for towels another for tea towels etc. How

It's other homes with me. How can they not hang things straight ? And ornaments... oh dear... and flower arrangements... I sit there itching to rearrange them !!

I organise our Remembrance Day Service, and up until recently the village had two colours of chairs... red and black. Often people give me a hand to put them out.... but I always rearrange them afterwards to make sure the colours either side of the pathway match !

Hmmmm.... reading this, even I think I'm weird !!
