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?

I was an absolute ear-spacked (deaf), thyroid deficient, seemingly lazy kid at schoolEvery morning my mother would try to wake me up by hitting me, shoving me, shaking me (this was when I was 15/16), shouting at me, none of it really worked, and we didn't really know about my thyroid.
My mum went into my room one morning, and accidentally brushed my feet. Almost simultaneously shitting and pissing myself, I hovered above the bed. My heart beat 20 to the dozen, and I was AWAKE.
That was how they woke me up every morning for school/college/work from then on.
I'm not sure if this should be under 'Family codes and rituals' or 'Child Cruelty'

Have you ever tried?one of those Deaf buzz-buzz alarms? I have one since I'm hard of hearing and I guarantee you will be awakened by that damned thing. The low freq trill is so unpleasant and organ-disturbing you will leap out of bed to get away from it.

Aw, fuckin' hellI'd end up punching someone if they woke me up like that.
Not out of violence, just shock.
But anyway, how'd you wake up now? Got the thyroid thing sorted?
