me- well i am fanatical about haning out washing big stuff on the middle lines (hills hoist) then the small stuff on the outside line all. And all the same persons stuff hung together (it makes it easier for putting away) lol

have heard of one of my friends who would only hang out washing if they hung it up with the same coloured pegs

Answer 1

I'm a hand washer- for various reasons that make perfect sense to me. I've never counted how many times in a day but I won't touch food without washing my hands. That means: Open the fridge, take out bread, open bread bag WASH HANDS take out bread and put into the toaster. Get butter/vegemite/plate/? WASH HANDS take toast out of the toaster open butter/vegemite... WASH HANDS butter toast -I keep the left hand 'clean' by not allowing it to touch anything other than food- but if I touch a food container or anything else, then I WASH HANDS. I'm pretty good if I'm not preparing food or eating. But will not touch my ears, eyes, nose or mouth without WASHING HANDS first.

I nearly throw up every time I see a Mum pick up food a kid has dropped, brush it off and give it back to the kid to eat.

And I haven't had a cold or flu or gastro since I started doing this a few years ago.

Footnote: The best hand moisturiser is COMPLETE CARE (blue bottle not pink). LOL

Answer 2

I have to wash my hands when i've been outside. Always check the doors are locked, the iron's off, the windows are shut, the fire alarm's working, all the plug sockets are off and, sounds stupid because i'm in England, but make sure there are no snakes in the toilet and no spiders in the bed! I do this upto 10times a day... Think i need to get a life!

Answer 3

Whenever Im eating a packet of chips I have to take the biggest one out and put it aside to eat last.

Butter has to go right to the edge of the bread on any sandwich/toast (but I dont eat the crust - I give them to my dogs)

I have to stir my coffee anti clockwise as I pour the milk in, and I leave the spoon in the mug while I drink it.

I put some paper in the toilet before I go for fear of "the splash"

Weird enough for you mate? - My wife thinks I'm a nutcase!

Answer 4

Is the iron off?
(you know it is)
But can you remember turning it off?
(no, but I know I did)
Sh!t, I've left the iron on
(you know you haven't, Beck)
You'd better drive home and check
(you unplugged it, remember)
Did I?

And so it goes on in my head....I do drive home, the iron is OFF (i knew it was). I iron as little as possible.

I also can't eat a Kit Kat normally, I have to gnaw all the chocolate off the sides and ends first and then separate the wafers. It's not worth eating unless it can be done this way

Answer 7

I can't stand it when you are sitting in a classroom and the teacher erases part of the writing to make more room as the lesson continues but they leave a little smudge of dry-erase marker....ugh...that bothers me soooo much!

Answer 8

I am obsessed with shaving my legs...I have to do it everyday or my day would be ruined. Even after I had a c-section with my daughter and had 20 staples across my stomach I had to shave..took me 20 minutes and several nicks and cuts..but i did it.
