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.

Stop making drinks wrong!!
Ice first, then water, then squash. Only acceptable in that order. If the squash goes in first it's just wrong. Also I like to suck the corners of my moustache and pull beard hairs out to show people how long they are.

Hmm
Squash first on the basis that it seems easier to measure this way rather than judging the rise in the water line caused by squash related displacement.

On this subject, remove the tea bag before adding milk!

ice, squash then water

I like watching the squash do its osmosisy thing in the water between the ice! I never claimed to be rational.

Nope. Dead wrong.
Wrong wrong. So wrong. Wrong, with a capital wrong.

If you do it your way, all the squash sinks to the bottom and you end up with 3/4 of a glass of weak lemon drink* and 1/4 of a glass of syrupy goop.

Squash first, so you can measure it.
Ice next.
Finally water, so that it swirls the ice and squash around and mixes it evenly and helps to cool it down.

Abso-bloomin-lutely
Squash, ice, water. It's the only way.

Well obviously!
Only someone who regularly wears their underpants on their head would do it any other way.

Wrong.
Squash, water (poured in hard to mix) and then, and only then, and then only slowly, ice, to be listened to as it cracks.

You
are sooo right. Come on people, think before you drink.

You're so wrong

J-I-W that order.
it never even crossed my mind that it would be done another way.

For the tea. I swapped around my order to suit the person I lived with.
So I now put the bag, milk and then water.
I think about the 0.0001ml of milk I waste when I throw the bag out; but as I like to have cows killed so I can eat then I'm able to see it doesn't fucking matter.

The milk in first does take away the oily film on the tea(which bothered the house mate) - but I don't give a fuck either way.

glass, beer no ice, drink - re re re peat.

if you make the tea in the cup
bag only before the boiling water
if you add milk first it doesn't 'brew' properly
add sugar and milk after you've removed the bag

No.

(, Tue 6 Jul 2010, 20:25, closed)
Mental
Squash, then water to mix followed by ice. I'd stoop to squash-ice-water but that would not mix as well. Anything else is madness.
