Family codes and ritualsFreddy 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?

We were the same.My mother has recently moved into another house and one of the first things she did was remove the lock from the bathroom door.
She claims it was originally done to prevent young versions of my sister and me from locking ourselves in the bathroom and being unable to escape. As we're now 28 and 31, it wouldn't be an issue even if we hadn't moved out several years ago.

Ithink that's the same excuse my mum used...
Earlier this year my retired father decided to 'improve' the bathroom by putting a round door knob on in the bathroom, with a slightly sticky door.
With damp hands it keeps you in the bathroom better than any fucking lock I can tell you!
