Toilet roll that doesn't line up can be sorted by taking just one ply/layer another rotation round

I cannot stand tiles with more than one colour. Like the black / white ones. If I step on a black tile with my left foot, then my next step has to place my right foot on a black tile to balance it out. Then I get concerned that during the journey across the floor I trod on more of one colour than the other and my feet feel weird.

I can totally relate to that! There is a floor in the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas that gets me everytime! I have to try and keep in the brown bits, and it actually makes my eyes go funny (my husbands the same with it), this is it http://www.123rf.com/photo_12572887_luxury-classic-colonnade-corridor-with-marble-floor-and-curved-arch-ceiling-at-venetian-hotel-in-las.html

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.

It just looks untidy!

I hope Marleyboy knows how lucky he is, Mr B is nagged incessantly about it. (Not that he takes any notice! :mad:)

Oh I couldn't walk on that! I'd have to look up. Those striped barrier mats that they have at shopping centre doorways are the worst though - I go dizzy if I look at them when I'm walking over them. I can't walk on that bobbly paving that's on the kerb edge where there's a crossing either - or stand on anything slippy in socks. Mm bit of a pattern here..

They all make me dizzy too, and sometimes I feel sick. It's a visual disturbance, probably similar to motion sickness or something?

Im also really bad for trying to sneak a look at the end of a book before I read it.

Oh, if I read a newspaper, I read it from the last page first, probably because Id always read the football pages first and work back the way

.

I sometimes skip to the end of the book too, because I want to know what happens....I hate surprises!

Also, when I'm writing in a notebook, I turn it around and start at the back, so the spine is on the right hand side. I truely think that is maybe a leftie thing in my case though, as I have a left handed address book and that is that way around.

I hate it when people visit my house and don't wipe their feet - when I go somewhere I always make sure I wipe my feet. I have an oatmeal carpet which usually looks great but with a few large mucky clodhoppers on it, it is looking grubby in places.

I also hate it when folks bring their kids around who then insist on watching my tv with the volume cranked up - these same kids drop food on the floor all over my nice oatmeal coloured carpet. When I say something, I get 'but they're kids' - I know that when I was a kid and went visiting with my parents I never had food that I could drop on the floor and then tread it into the carpet, nor did I watch tv - it was considered impolite.

When I have to get the bus, I always count out the change before I leave the house and zip it into my pocket because I hate getting my purse out when I am on the bus.

Sometimes I will eat at the dining table and sometimes not - depending on my mood and I will eat breakfast in the middle of the night or have cake for breakfast because I can.:D

Can't flush the toilet after I've gone to bed. Feel sick and shakey just thinking about it. If I need to use it between bedtime and time to get up it stays unflushed til the morning - or hubby does it.

I don't care about anyone else flushing - just can't manage it myself.

When I was 4 or 5 I went for a pee in the middle of the night, and flushed . Toilet backed up and flooded the bathroom. Disgusting!!!
