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?

cause really why are you announcing it?Anytime, ever, someone says "I'm going to the bathroom..." as they get up to leave the room.
One of my family members will reply, deadpan "I'll alert the media."
Cause everyone should know, right? that's why you told *us*, right?
This has never to my knowledge broken anyone of the habit of announcing their impending travels to loo land, except possibly for me.

It does have it's use.If I'm going to the bathroom from downstairs I usually announce it so I don't get someone trying to get into the bathroom 5mins later thinking I'm in my bedroom or something.
