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.

Crisps!
Oh God. If there is one thing I can't stand in the world, it is people who eat things upside down. If someone opens a bag of crisps from the bottom in front of me, I have to tell them how wrong they are and walk away until they've finished eating their abomination. This is how the conversation goes:

Me: AARGH! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Offender: ?
Me: IT'S UPSIDE DOWN! YOU'VE OPENED IT UPSIDE DOWN! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?!?!? *stomps off*
Offender: ?

It has not won me many friends, I will tell you. However, most people know not to do it to me now, apart from my bitch of a sister, who will ONLY open things upside down because "that's where the flavour is". Like I said, bitch.

If I open a bag of crisps upside down through some hellish mistake, I will throw them away. There is nothing that could make me eat them. This all started when I was a very young child, and therefore not in charge of opening my own packets, and I just can't stand it - I'm actually on edge just thinking about it.

The only other slightly wierd thing I can think of is that when Mr. Anodyne and I share a bed, wherever we are, at home, a hotel, or wherever, I am ALWAYS nearest the door, and he is always the furthest away and/or against the wall. The strangest thing about that is that we only realised it happened after we had been together about 4 years and without discussion, we always gravitate towards 'our' side of the bed. We tried swapping once, to see what happened. We were back in our rightful places within two minutes as we both felt so uncomfortable.

It really, really doesn't need to matter to you. It really doesn't.

Rather than throw them away,
Can you not decant them into a bowl or a similar crisp appropriate receptacle?

Gah!
Putting the crisps into a bowl reduces their flavour intensity. It does I tell you!

And eating upside down crisps means the flavour gets less intense as you go through the packet. It's meant to get more intense to compensate for tastebud adaptation.

No it doesn't
Crisps are always nicer when tipped in a bowl. The same goes for cutting sandwiches into triangles.

Nope.
You're sister is quite correct I'm afraid to say.

I, without fail, always open a packet of crisps upside down.

You're all mental
Crisps tastes the same no matter where they are positioned in the packet and I won't have anyone tell me different.

what about all the salt bits that end up at the bottom. Unless you give the pack a shake then your fine.
Have you tried sleeping head to toe? that will fuck up your right side of the bed.

You are both obviously stifling latent gayness...
...because most couples sleep with the man between the door and 'his womaaaaan'. The gentleman will also make sure he has his most vicious club to hand to beat off wild amminals and rival tribes after increasing their gene pool.
