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.

umm... dont have any **really** bizarre habits (I think...)
although there are a few things I've picked up from my mum - I can't put a pair of shoes (new or otherwise) on a table - it's very bad luck to do with new shoes, but I can't do it now at all. Also, when I buy soap, I have to take it out of the packet and leave it on the side for a few weeks first. Why? when my mum was taught domestic science in the fifties, she got told if you did this with new soap first before you used it it would last a lot longer as it dries out first. as a kid, we always had a big glass jar in the bathroom full of unwrapped bars of soap. and I do it to this day.
cold pizza - when I was at sixth form, I had a number of jobs washing up in various restaurants around town - one of them, a pizzeria/trattoria type place, everyone would take a pizza home for supper after work every night. I lived about a half hours walk away, so my pizza would be cold by the time I got in. now if you put it in the microwave, it went all soggy, so I just got used to eating it cold in front of the tv when I got in. even up until just a few years ago, I had to let my pizza go cold before I could eat it.

Shoes on table
I'm the same. Tables and chairs.
Apparently, it's to do with hanging yourself, or summat.

There's a way to microwave pizza without it going soggy, works for any pastries.
It goes gooey because when steam leaves the hot food, then hits the cold plate and condenses, it leaves a pile of water that soaks into the bottom of the food. If you place it on some cardboard (say, a torn piece of pizza box), hey presto hot crispy (well, rubbery) pizza!
