1....A Toilet roll 'Must' roll outwards, if it dosent, i change it....:angry:
2.... My shirts (T or otherwise) must hang facing the same way and the hangers 'must' all face...loop inwards...:crazy:

It's the 'correct' way.

It has to roll off the 'top' ie clockwise if looking at it from the left.

Otherwise its going to be rubbing and resting on the wall...


I always remove the little child safety things off lighters...

You can't count the toilet roll thing, cos that is just normal, not quirky in the least.

I know a lot of households where the direction of rotation of toilet rolls is an on-going ummm... point of contention. Be innerssting to see a poll but the "top towards me" proponents seem to be mostly male and vicie vercie.

Hard to see and physiological rationale, unlike the perennial toilet seat down/up dramas.

I was a confirmed down the wall TP hanger until Maha came along so you can imagine the delights we had swapping the roll each time we went to the bog :laugh:

I decided that it was not worth the effort so let the Maha rule the toilet paper thing, will admit to "apple pieing" the roll a few times for fun though, it looked like it hung down the wall, but didn't :killingme

I'm sure I have OCD, I have to fold all my sheets, towels, T Shirts, undies, bras etc the way i like to fold them, same with washing hanging. Toilet roll must roll from the front, all coat hangers facing inwards, sheets must be tucked in properly, pillow cases around some certain way, tidy cupboards etc etc (ask my hubby, it's truely sad!) It's anal i know, but i can't help it, unfortunately I have rubbed off on the kids I look after and the youngest is anal about how she folds her towel to go on the towel rail and how she makes her bed too!

Once upon a time I used to have to iron my bed and iron my socks, dust the insides of my spit-polished shoes and make sure each hanger was two fingers-width apart, buttoned up and hung all the same way in order of colour and type. Clothes in drawers were exactly A4 size in width. The place was dusted twice a day. Even then they found reasons to biff it all out the window.

Nowdays... I have a cleaner, and yes that damn toilet roll faces outwards.

Glad to see i'm not the only one, my CD's are in order by Artist, but also chronological by the album release date if there's more than one artist. Guaranteed i'll spot a wrong order if the missus puts them back funky, and there's 450+ of the buggers.

The Staplers, Hole Punch etc at work must be exactly in their place, the second someone takes it and dumps it back on my desk, I stop whatever i'm doing to put it back right.

If I tap fingers on one hand I have to tap the same finger on the other hand the same amout of times in the same order.

I have to eat symmetrically- one side of toast, other side of toast then the middle.

Always leave a piece of the favourite bit of dinner til last e.g. yorkshire pudding in Sunday roast.

Alway have to walk hand-in-hand with my thumb underneath their thumb. It is just freaky and wrong otherwise.

I got one of Freuds oral fixations, hard.

I chew my nails, I go through 3 or 4 packs of chewing gum a day, every day. I smoke, I eat just for the sake of having something to chew on, I chew the tooth brush bristles, I chew tooth picks. Just.. always have to chew something (and no smut-filled references, please)

Arr geeze, I do those too!
Hubby loves watching me eat hamburgers with the constant turning to eat all the edges first.
And even though it's gone cold by the time you eat it, have to finish dinner with the yummiest bit (hate it when you're full by the time you get there though, grrrr).:laugh:

No, I reasoned that one as, the people who make the chocolate bar decided that it tastes good together, so that's how I eat those, and I like the chocolate, so try to leave as much of the chocolate at the end! (so sad!!)

Are you sure we're not bloody twins?

Toilet paper rolls over the top; coat hangers all with the hook facing in (easier to get off the rail for a start!); pillow case open ends have to face the middle of the bed for the side closest the door; washing must be hung on the line a certain way and dry linen must be folded a certain way (means my husband rarely does it as he gets annoyed when I redo it the 'proper' way!); sheets MUST be tucked in properly (legacy of nursing days, hospital corners!); nibble all around the edge of the hamburger so you end up with the best bits; towels on towel rail have to be folded in half lengthwise first, then placed on towel rail with fold on left side - same for flannels; don't like volume on radio to be set on 6 or 13 (not lucky numbers!); don't like drawers, cupboards or doors left open 'just a little'; I can't stand the tweezers being put back upside down - the long part of the points must be on the top; I make up nicknames for drivers from their number plates (got stuck behind a woman last week - ABD - A Bloody Drongo...); I 'write' things with my finger in shorthand; and I can't stand anyone reading the paper before me and creasing it!

Shit, I'm worse than I thought!

Do you also have to make sure that the writing e.g. band name and title ont eh cd has to be at the bottom of the cd/DVD in the holder? I do and will even go and make sure it is like that with other peoples too!!

I also hate people bending the spines on books and will never lend books to anyone I see doing it. I always make sure that if people have but a book down spine spread that I make sure the page is bookmarked and the book closed.

OCD rocks and makes life so much more orderly.

Yeah, all the CDs face the same direction, thing that pisses me off is that some bands print the labels backwards, so that the Actual CD case is facing the right way, but the writing is back-to-front, Then you get a band like Tool who produce a CD that won't sit in any CD rack known to man comfortably.

What I mean is the actual CD not the case. The writing on the cd itself has to be at the bottow when you open the case. But I know what you mean about the edge of the cd case it really pisses me off if the writing is upside down.

Knives in to the right, forks in the middle and spoons (not tea spoons) to the left, that is the way!...everyone has a cuttlery organiser right?

A Milk Bottle (not carton) handle has to be facing you, not away from you, when you open the fridge door...not difficult is it?

Always fill a jug with fresh cold water....re-boiling is just not an option...apart from being just plain fuckin lazy!

Always reload one or two rounds before I run out,,,if in doubt just reload anyway.

Always carry 3 knives even though two should be plenty.

Always take the old dog for a walk first.

Never leave home in any vehicle without enough tools to do a minor rebuild on the road side.

All vehicles must have their own first aid kit and fire exstinguisher and both must be reachable if your trapped by your feet/legs an can't get out.

Always bail out before the horse runs into what ever the fucking thing is going to run into,,,this guaranties it will stop to watch you bouncing along the ground and thus avoid large vets bills and or repairs to what ever it was going to run into,,,,,,the reason for having that first aid kit in the truck will now become obvious.

Before leaving on a cross/down country trip on an older British bike make sure you have Brittish spares and a few other usefull bike shops phone numbers on your own phone.

Always put your pants on left leg first,tie your left boot laces first an always get on horses motorcycles and kayaks from the left side.

Why put them on a dresser... ??? When there's a perfectly good floor. If I decide they MUST be put away ... they will be rolled up in one of the six drawers I leave available for their storage.

Magazines taped end to end reduces this urge ...

I just carry one SHARP one ...


Always take the old dog for a walk first.

At my age ... he's younger than me, (even in dog years) so he still gets home first ...


Never leave home in any vehicle without enough tools to do a minor rebuild on the road side.

A full magazine and a match ... (quick fix)



All vehicles must have their own first aid kit and fire exstinguisher and both must be reachable if your trapped by your feet/legs an can't get out.

The time to think ... is when the missus re-mounts it/both behind the drivers seat ...

I avoid horses ... saves lots of $$$$$$ on vet bills ...

I refuse to have the last 50ish mls of cans of coke or 100mls of a bottle of coke, flatty has to finish it off for me. I have a certain way that I like the towels to be folded and I get upset with the flatty cause he won't/can't do it my way. Have to fold it in half, then half, slap it against my legs to straighten it out then fold one end to the middle then fold the other end in, lol.

Just thought of another one. I don't think it's abnormal but the flatmate thinks I brush my teeth too often. During the working week it's morning, when I get back from work and before bed. If I eat or drink something after that last brush I'll brush them again. It's worse in the weekend it's morning when I wake, after I eat most meals, definitely after a real sugary drink or food cause my mouth feels yucky. Then bed etc again.

Heh, fun thread (and worth the dredge)

Most of my quirks get pointed out to me at some point, so I'm not sure how many I have... but I know I'm pedantic.

Toilet roll out, yep.
Hangers hook in (would be difficult otherwise)

Something I haven't seen mentioned, I have to shower in the same order, otherwise I get confused and have to start again. It's bloody difficult if you've got some injury that stops the normal process.

Almost everything has a place and provided it's not moved I know where almost anything is... my boss drives me nuts as things in the office keep getting moved.

I guess it's a quirk. I know my drivers licence number, bank account number, IRD number, my bank account number from 7 odd years ago (don't ask why, I don't have a clue). I even knew my old credit card number, but the new one is taking a little time to get used to, even after a year or two... or maybe it's not used as much. I know every bike licence plate I've had since starting to ride in 2005, and two bikes had 2 licence plates. I even know the last licence plates of vehicles my parents had in South Africa end of 1996. I know a few of the ones they've had here.

In company networks we look after I can remember a lot of addresses for random machines, (even my boss gets amused), lots of passwords for users, phone numbers and alarm codes... for some reason I have an affinity for numbers, but could never understand calculus or physics etc. Oh, a volume licence install we had a few years ago for Windows XP, I knew the CD key off by heart... a 25 character sequence of letters and numbers, I can still remember most of it.

I should probably stop...

My flatty has a thing about how the toilet paper has to sit as well, same way as everybody else here. I always make an effort to do it the way that he likes, but sometimes I do it the "wrong" way, just cause it's funny and to see if he'll change it, he does. He reads this forum so now I guess I'm caught out :lol:

Yes - exactly ... I only care that paper is there or not ... there's more important things to fill your mind with than the direction of a toilet roll.

But apart from the obssessive-complusive bunch here ... there is a school of thought that says if the toilet roll unrolls anti-clockwise (the down part is against the wall) then less toilet paper is used because if doesn't roll so easily and therefore money is saved .... if the toilet roll unrolls clockwise (down part away from the wall) then it spin freely, using more paper and wasting money ..

I can't believe how this is important for so many people ...

What do you do if you are in a toilet with a box wall holder of individual sheets? Shit bricks?

I lay my clothes out on the floor in the order that I take them off so that I can put them back on as quickly as possible in exactly the same order as I took them off, without the lights on etc!

I think it's a hangup from when I was a young fella, I lived in some pretty dodgy situations and places back in the day!

When I sit at a table I always check out the condition of the cuttlery without thinking and this has caused embarrasment big time!

The toilet paper must be a gene thing!

Where ever I go I subconciously suss out where all the posible escape routes are, my wife used to think I was mad until it worked in her favour a couple of times!

Otherwise I don't have any quirks worth mentioning, of course the mantle of perfection wieghs heavy upon my shoulders but I cope! :rolleyes:

Heavens above... ya need to chill me matey! :bleh: Although I do agree with the milk one.

I have a whole cooking utensil drawer in my kitchen, and as my son is in charge of dishes' washing and putting away, it drives me insane if he just shoves them in there topsy turvy. They need to be vertical and laid out so I can easily find and grab while in the throes of passionate food making.

Tis simple efficiency really.

Even if at someone else's place I turn the roll of toilet paper around if it's not coming over the top.

Matching clothes pegs on each item hung out and putting the smalls on the inside lines to be hidden by the larger items.

Putting utensils points down in the dishwasher so I don't accidentally stab myuself when unloading it. Reloading the dishwasher after others have helpfully loaded it so it is neater and fits more in. :doh:

1) When having eggs on toast, I cut the corners off and go round and round eating the yolks last.

2) I used to match peg colours on the washing too, but people don't use many pegs here. Hang most things on coathangers or just throw them over the line.

My kids do a lot of things I used to do as a kid, got redressed on and resented it. So I don't let them get away with just any old habits, but I sure pick my battles Lol

Yup. Who wants to touch the wall where someone has rubbed their poo-stained hands. Over-the-top is the correct way to have the roll.

Toilet rolls hang on the outside so that if some grubby visitor gets shit on their fingers, the next place those fingers go isn't against your wall. If in doubt, buy patterned paper; you'll see the pattern works with the over method, indicating that even the manufacturer understands this basic hygiene concept.

What I want to know is why they all use those teflon coated, high-gloss zero traction bog rolls, so's you have to use the curtains.

Why would it be illegal to playfully put food in the dogs' bowls? :blink:


Oooooohhh... Hang on, I'm with ya now.





Yeah naaaahhh... But as far as making it legal, I would say it was just not discussed prior to making it illegal. I say whatever floats one's goat, as long as it's not harmful to said goat.
