This is a question Bizarre habits

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "Until I pointed it out, my other half use to hang out the washing making sure that both pegs were the same colour. Now she goes out of her way to make sure they never match." Tell us about bizarre rituals, habits and OCD-like behaviour.

I've just spent
about an hour and a half reading all ten pages (so far) of this QOTW.

I recognise far too many of them in myself, and while many of them are just habits rather than true disorders, I now feel very sorry for my ex-wife :-(

The only one I can think of that no-one has yet mentioned is this:
Unloading the shopping trolley onto the conveyor belt and loading it into bags at the other end MUST be accompanied by a short rythmic refrain sung softly and repetitively, and the loading/unloading must be done in time to it.

Until the ex or the checkout girl look at you in that "I'm scared" way....

And knives which point down in the dishwasher are Wrong.

See, I can't put knives in blade up
it's a good job we don't live together. There'd be hell to pay.

blade up
Everytime, adds to the danger when unloading

Yeah
my ex-gf tripped and fell as a nipper, straight onto the blade of a knife pointing up in the dishwasher and impaled herself on it

it's just not worth putting them point down and 'elf 'n' saftey can just fuck off

I used to put them point up
then I heard the story of the Scottish woman who was killed by falling onto the knives. So I tried the other way round, and it made no difference to the clean, so point down now since it reduces a small risk of injury and a very, very small risk of killing a scottish woman.
Also, I have one of those cutlery baskets in the dishwasher that you can move about, it now sits at the back of the dishwasher to minimise this very small risk of injury/death.
