This is a question Bizarre habits

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "Until I pointed it out, my other half use to hang out the washing making sure that both pegs were the same colour. Now she goes out of her way to make sure they never match." Tell us about bizarre rituals, habits and OCD-like behaviour.

Pointless "Me too!" post
Ordinal linguistic personification, though, which is a form of synaesthesia. Only found out that not everyone gives numbers personalities a couple of years ago.
Five is a solid bricklayer type; flat cap and pipe and that. Seven is a bit 'common', while Eight well-to-do and a bit snobbish. And so on.

Then it becomes interesting* in the multiplication tables.
7 X 8 is Eight reluctantly helping Seven reach 56, which is much better than 49. But 49 is a decent place, as it's Seven working with itself. It's a good solid pyramid, but not as good as the slightly lopsided 56.

Five does really good work, though. Bit plain, but functional and there's nothing like a solid, well built 5 X 6(A cottage for Six, an older woman with a flower in her hat), or 5 X 10(A well-sized fort on the way to the castle that is 10 X 10).


Yeah. You'd think I would have found out sooner.

*Might not be interesting.
