Bizarre habitsSandettie 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.

"No you are"My girlfriend and I were having an on-off bickering argument about who was the more anal out of ourselves. As I told her frequently, I'm tidy but not a clean freak, as in, I hate having crap all over my floor that makes my room traversals a problem, but I'll happily have all that same crap chucked hap-hazardly into the bottom of a cupboard or wardrobe.
This continued for some time until one day she was rearranging stuff in her room. She'd removed all her books from a shelf, and I being a helpful chap, I put them all back up, with no further cataloguing than keeping the cookery books together, the story books together, etc.
I came back the following day and all the books had been rearranged.
Not alphabetically.
Not categorically.
Not even by colour.
They were sorted by size, largest to smallest, left to right.
She won the competition that day.

But but but but . . .How can she live with them like that? How can you? In order of size? It makes no sense for when you are trying to find a book! You have to remember the size of every book you own! She is demented!
Oh. That's sort of the point.

Most books have the name on the spineand I'm not too sure its just me; but I can remember what each book looks like - this includes,its size, colour and thickness.
I also remember it's name which is printed on the spine.
Mind you If you only have 100 or so books this system works, May be shite for a library to use.
