How clean is your house?"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

The other day I was putting away some washingI put the missus's socks in her sock drawer. She asked if there were any odd ones, and I said there were. She immediately became agitated. "They have to go in the odd socks drawer!" she exclaimed. I told her they would be fine, but she got more and more wound up until I went back to the dresser, took out the offending odd sock and put it in her odd socks drawer. Next to its twin. "The other one wasn't in the odd socks drawer, was it?" she asked. I admitted that it was. You would have thought I'd left my coat hanging on the lever that launches our nuclear deterrent by her reaction. She was beside herself at the notion of a PAIR of socks in her odd sock drawer. Seriously, that's OCD.

I am far from having OCDHowever, I used to ensure not loosing socks by having a bag for specifically storing dirty pants and sock, as soon as they came off. The whole bag, and its contents, were washed together and never an single sock was lost. I was never happier.
Since moving in with my girlf*, now wife**, I have more odd socks than pairs. Even my rule of 'they only get washed when you have a pair' seems to gets ignored. Mostly odd socks don't worry me too much, but the odd football socks are a frustration.
Not pairing up socks in the odd sock drawer is a tad slack, though, but nothing to get upset about.
