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?

StaringMy younger sister and I like to irritate our middle sister and younger brother by either reading interesting times on the clock (e.g. 12:34, 14:15, 20:02, 22:22) whilst in the car, or, our real favourite, just by staring at them unwaveringly for up to half an hour. This is best done, silently, on public transport. It did make our brother cry once, but nowadays it just makes him uncomfortable.

HeheI hate speaking to people I am forced to sit by so when I am on an aeroplane and can't escape, I bite the bullet and say to the person next to me that I have an illness where I fall asleep with my eyes open.
I then give it 5 minutes and then slump sideways and stare directly at them for about half an hour. This usually freaks them out enough so that when I 'wake up' to have food, they don't want to speak to me.
God I am miserable.

[insert title]I used to try and do the math before the minute was up:
20:05 = 4
20*05 = 100
20-05 = 15
20+05= 25
22:23 wasn't really my favourite time...
