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 love mileometer stuffI hate it when people reset my trip counter, as I have carefully set it to 000.0 at the exact moment that the main mileometer reached a multiple of 1000. This gives fun things like 03333 (333.3) and 007007 (007.0). Yeah, sad.
However, this habit allowed me, not too long ago, to watch the mileometer in my battered old Ford Puma to go from 99999 (999.9) to 00000 (000.0), half-way up the M11.
I was smugly happy for the rest of the day, and now that I come to think back, I'm still smugly happy now.
