The weird things I do…confession time😉.

Open drawers and cupboard doors are a no-no for me …. I’ll even get out of bed in middle of night if I see just one drawer even 1cm open….buts that’s it …nothing else!

I think the vast majority of you are afflicted with OCD.

Personally, I must screw toothpaste cap back on after using.
I’m sure there is more, but don’t want to remind myself of how silly I am.

Me too

Always make sure the washing up cloth and tea towel are clean and spread out to dry so little bacteria builds up.

I always count the letters in the words on the TV screen. IE on Loose Women etc. I get really annoyed it they do not add up to multiples of 5!
I also have to straighten pictures on walls.
I also do not step on the raised paving slabs at traffic lights etc. They really hurt my left foot. I have nerve pain in my foot.
I also do loads of other weird things. I must have OCD (not diagnosed)!!
Glad it’s not just me!

I do most of these these things! Cushions, pictures, clothes pegs, socks on the line, ironing in a certain order (ok so I don’t really do much ironing!), cutlery in the drawer and on it goes. Even the Hail Marys though it’s when a train passes! I like being weird/eccentric!

Nothing in my house can be skew if (sp). Furniture, things on tables, papers and books on the coffee table. Pictures on the wall must be straight, floor mats… When I was still at work, papers on my desk had to be parallel to the edge. I probably overuse commas.

Loose end of the loo roll at the front, otherwise you're scrabbling at the wall to get hold of the end...

How can there be a right and wrong way to hang screen rolls?
I think having the loose end at the back is tidier.

Toilet rolls? Professional cleaners/housekeepers etc will all tell you they're taught to hang them with the loose end hanging to the front.

Thanks to you all, I feel so normal now!

I always put the date on any note (digital or handwritten) I write myself.

I don’t like wooden clothes pegs, they mark the clothes. I’ll carry on colour matching my pretty soft touch pegs, which are also kind to my hands

This one beats all of yours! There's a local waste collection company, here in Northumberland, called Sanders. When I'm driving around and I see one their wagons I have to say, "Under the name of Sanders!", which is where Winnie the Pooh lives. I don't know what will happen if I don't say it out loud, but I'm not risking it!
Ha! Beat that if you can!

I do nearly all of the above! I can't ask Alexa a question without saying thank you!

too many to mention, one i was only talking about with a friend yesterday, why do i still go to church, when i don't believe in most of it?! working on it .......

I have to colour match the clothes pegs when hanging washing out.

That's not odd - it can't be because I do it too.

And me

We’ve only just had a television after twenty five gloriously quiet years. Did I really just get out of the chair and with two fingers to try to expand what was on the screen. I find myself doing it with magazines too. I go cat sitting ( for a hobby and because I LOVE cats) but why do I get so much satisfaction out of cleaning THEIR oven when I can barely do my own at home. Likewise with cleaning the shower. Water is such a luxury I can spend ages in there with a toothbrush and a bottle of THE Pink Stuff. (Not gin and angostura bitters…..) it’s a cleaning product I use in the shower. I also have a boiled egg for breakfast and never eat the white, only the yolk. My husband has eaten so many extra whites over the years.

Me too, I used to color match the clothes pins with the articles of clothing or sheets, pillowcases etcetra.

Now, I use wooden clothespins !

Many of the mentioned !!! I think women around the globe may share some of the same visuals.

To me there is nothing weird about cutlery having to be lined up. This was how I was taught to set a table - you had to be able to stand at the end of a table and see ever piece of culterly, crockery, glass etc in perfectly straight lines. Good restaurants still teach their staff this.

And my great-aunt who taught me to hang out washing would have made me take it down again and hang it up properly if all the articles of the same kind were not hung beside each other, socks paired up, all woollens in the shade and everything that was to be taken down sligthly damp to facilitate ironing hung on the same line. In her day clothes pegs were wooden, but had she lived to see plastic pegs of different colours I am certain she would have paired them up too!

I too can't bear pictures hanging squint, probably because another dear lady of my childhood insisted that a photo of anyone who had died that hung squint meant they were trying to tell you something.

My own weird habits? I reserve a saucepan for boiling milk in, use one washing up bowl for the washing up and another for cleaning vegetables and carry on long conversations with the cats,

I was just about to post the very same thing! Glad it's not just me!

And me! They had also to match the garment if possible. I have, however, recently switched to wooden pegs.
I count the words in a sentence or the letters in a word on my fingers, keeping repeating the exercise until it ends on my thumb.
My late friend had to have the zips on cushions on the bottom, and would get out of bed to check them if she hadn’t done it before retiring. She also had to have the volume on the television on a multiple of five.

I'm another who has to match pegs to pegs and coordinate with the clothes. It got so ridiculous that I now have wooden pegs to avoid the issue. I also hang things together and towels, teatowels etc all round the same way. My rationale is that I'd have to sort them to put them away anyway so I'm saving time at the other end! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

I also every day make a list of things I have to do and cross off as I go along . My Dh if he sees the list will add at the top get up and at the bottom go to bed 🤣🤣

First of all I put all socks together on the line followed by underwear then as the items go along they get longer 🤣🤣 towels at far end, and all have to be stainless steel pegs. There’s nowt as queer as folk !
