Family codes and rituals
Freddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

Bathtime
Leaving the bath water for the next person to use. Well I suppose it was the 70s, and our water was heated by an immersion, so hardly the most efficient method.
Usually there was enough hot left for a top up.
I never seemed to get first go though, I was always bathing in grime, whereas everyone else used to be able to manoeuvre a position to be able to use virgin water.
Perhaps it was because I am the youngest by some margin.
Perhaps it was because I used to regularly piss in it.

Coincidence?
I can't help wondering if this has anything to do with your user name ;)
