Idiosyncrasies, foibles and aversions.

Loo roll that doesn't tear properly along the perforations...if I pull some and it leaves a partial bit I have to level it up, tear the end off, tear another sheet...anything to avoid having anything other than a straight edge left.
Curtains have to be properly closed - if there's chinks of light I get wound up, especially in bed at night. DH sleeps on the window side of the bed and goes mad when I insist he shuts the curtains again to lose a sliver of a crack in them
And if DH washes up I have to really bite my lip to stop telling him off from putting things on the drainer in a different way to the way I would

I'm the opposite to most in that I hate a completely tidy house. Like my worst nightmare is one of those shows where they turn your house into a showhome. I like it to look homely and lived in. Think it's because my parents house had to be pristine when father insisted on it. No sign of happiness or it being a family home.

The squeaky thing the window cleaner uses once he's foamed the window gives me the heebie-jeebies because of the noise it makes sometimes. The squeak makes me want to vomit. I'm the same with car washes - can't do it.

I also hate the feeling of blankets. I love a heavy blanket on top of my duvet because I love that weighed down feeling, but if the blanket touches my skin I hate it.

And I have to wear those verruca sock thingys or jelly shoes if I swim in the sea on holiday as the thought of seaweed touching my feet gives me the shivers.

Oooooooh....people wearing flip-flops who shuffle along flapping their horrid shoes......I hate it!

When you go to the supermarket and buy one item and the assistant says "do you need any help with packing?"...:mad::mad:

I can't stand the tops being left open/off of shampoo bottles, toothpaste, shower gel etc. Just shut the top, it doesn't take any time at all!

And leaving the toilet seat up! :mad::mad::mad:
Why can't men do the ONE thing that will really make a woman happy? Put the bloody seat down when you've finished!

Rant over! (for now )

Oops. If I leave a lid on something people notice. Just one of my quirks. Again, I live on my tod so theres no one to nag me about it.

My home is lived in, tidy enough, but certainly not showhome looking. This living on my own means I can do what I like and I do:rotfl:

Soggy food ( beans, gravy etc ) cannot touch dry food ( chicken/fish fillet etc ) on the plate.
My books must be in alpha order.
My curtains must be closed properly, no little gap at the top.
And for ever I have rubbed seams or edges of material, is worse when stressed.

I dont like polysytrene or the squeak of markers if someone is using a marker on a bit of card and it squeaks.

Yes! I actually dread buying new electronics because I know I'm going to have to remove them from a polystyrene-packed box. The squeak makes me almost feel ill.

Why? I've never understood why women get so bothered about this. If they leave the seat up, at least you know they've put the seat up before peeing and haven't tried to aim through the middle.

The washing has to be hung on the line in order, I've a line for smalls, a line for tops, a line for trousers and a line for towels.

The curtains have to hang just right, so they look the same on either side, pleats all evenly spaced and if they are closed there can be no gap at all.

Cushions should not be sat on they should be moved and when you move please place the cushion back how it was.

If you leave the table please push the chair back in, aligned with all of the other chairs.

Not an exhaustive list

I like it down, the reason I like the seat down is that when whoever has used flushes there is no risk of any pee water splashing out and contaminating anything else.

Lots of refreshingly disturbed people I can identify with here! :beer:

I hear you on the cotton thread notech, though I like to roll my strand into a ball.
