Idiosyncrasies, foibles and aversions.

Foods that are not ordered or not invited into the meal that somehow find their way in. For example Chicken Fried Rice, is fine, but 9 times out of 10 there will be peas in the fried rice. Excuse me... did I ask for Chicken and Pea Fried Rice? No. So why are these little green things in the meal? Spring Onion is another terrible uninvited pollutant because peas can actually be removed one by one but onion makes everything taste of onion.

Coleslaw. What is that? A vile concoction of wrongness.

Another after my own heart lol I pick all the peas out. Yuck. Same with paella. Nearly always with bloomin' peas! My plate at the end of some meals is covered in various bits of food that I've picked out.

Another... on my work computer, I have to have everything open in a set sequence. No idea how people can open things in the wrong order and not have them in the same accessible order at the bottom of the screen.

Yes! I have to open my email first, and if for some reason it crashes during the day I have to close everything else too so it's on the left again.

I cant stand one hand to be wet and the other one dry so if I have to for example pull a plug out of the sink I rub my hands together so that they are both wet.


I also cant stand the light switches to be switched the wrong way eg stairs, I will walk up to stairs in the dark just to put the light on so that when I walk back down the switches are all the same. Am I weird?

Regarding chicken fried rice and peas/onions, you realise it's possible to order it without the vegetables, right?

But depending where you go, some places include the offending items and some don't, if it's a new takeaway to you it can be a minefield... I hate the 'Umm, does you chicken fried rice have peas?' conversation. Knowing me I'd receive it with no peas but with ****ing mushrooms!

What IS wrong, however, is fried rice without spring onion. Pointless.

After following this thread I now realise why it is that the women in our lives are always trying to changes us.

Life is simple and straight forward, no arranging, counting or any other of the strange goings on that have come to light. Life is good. Life is uncomplicated.

Then, the girlfriend arrives, good looking, great legs, fantastic sense of humour etc. and within days they start to rearrange your, up until now, perfect life. :eek:

Things are moved about, where there was once shirts there are now trousers. Gone is the simplicity of keeping your boxers and socks in the same drawer. Even the radio in the shed that was permanently tuned in to the cricket now plays something dreadful called smooth radio and it was so long ago that you tuned it to the cricket you can no longer find it!

Make them a coffee in the wrong mug/cup and you're in trouble. God help you if you wander round the supermarket putting things in the basket at random.

Gone are the days when it was OK to put the occasional alloy wheel in your own dishwasher.

And perhaps worst of all you get an infestation of sofa parasites. :(I've never understood the obsession with cushions, they just take up space and breed. Before you know it the tricksy little blighters have moved into the bedroom. Who the hell wants to move a load sofa parasites off the bed every night before they can get in?

I never know what to do with the damned things when I sit down, throw them across the room, drop them on the floor at the side of the chair?

No wonder girlfriends are like landmines. You never know when you're going to step on the wrong bit and get blown up.

Not everyone is the same you know. And Ive had ex bfs with more than a touch of the OCD's as well, its about whether people are compatible even with their quirks.

Ah Mr_Toad, you really make me laugh! :rotfl: I actually totally agree with you about the Sofa Parasites (that's really tickled me that, I'll never look at my cushions the same again!), and I have a minimum on my sofa, and non at all on the bed.

When I stayed in a hotel once, there was loads of the little bu**ers all over the bed! I had no option but to chuck them onto the floor....I mean! what else are you meant to do with them?

Btw, to those who hate peas and spring onion in their rice, I love it....and mushrooms too! :eek:

Toilet roll hanging from the back, thank you very much.

Can't stand raw olives or tomatoes, but love olive oil and anything tomato flavoured.

Always fiddle with my tape measure when I'm talking on Skype.

Packets stored sideways in the cupboard must be turned round with the front to the left.

Hell, who wants to be normal?

Every time I put my shoes on I pick them up first and turn them upside down to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions inside.


If my nail touches someone elses nail it makes me cringe (literally). I feel weird for a while. Sometimes I just try and avoid that person for a while. It's even worse if the tip of my nail touches the tip of someone elses nail. I actually cringed even writing that.


I don't like dairy products. Why would anyone eat/drink another animals milk? You are stealing from their babies.


I hate it when people take cash out of their wallet and its all mixed up with the heads up on some and down on the other notes. Why would you do that?
