    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!

    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?
    you cork it

    Heavens above... ya need to chill me matey! 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.

    The other stuff I get, but not being a coffee drinker... the last one, is that to do with taste? Never heard of that one before!

    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.

    1 and 2 are me, but I boil the jug so often during the day it hardly gets cold.

    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.

    Ohmygawd! i so used to do #1 as a kid (religiously so), and I had completely forgotten about it until now! Lol

    Used to drive my father nuts.

    I also used to beat my ice cream or yoghurt really fast to make it super runny then drink it.

    My 8 y/o stepdaughter does that... drives me mad. So far I've been able to keep trap shut but no promises for the future.

    Hahaha... But it's so nice! Maybe you should try it and join in?

    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.
