The weird things I do…confession time😉.

CBBL I am really offended by droopy washing on clothes lines. I peg it out nice and straight, which reduces or even avoids ironing. I accept you can't fit as much on the line though.

I like my books in size order, and also try to keep books by the same author together. I also try as far as is practical, to keep same/similar subjects together. I have far too many books (and 5 bookcases).
I too, have a thing about framed pictures on a wall being square and level!
I don't worry about peg colours, but I do have a specific way to hang things on the line outdoors, and also on a dryer when washing is indoors.
Whatever makes you calm and happy is NOT weird in my opinion!

Loo rolls always have a ‘beard’ never a ‘ mullet’

i had a jumping spider living in mmy van four years turquise eyes she would sit in the steering wheel i sang to her

Re the toilet paper. I read somewhere that in Buckingham Palace it has to be hanging over the front as you may get germs if it touches the wall behind.

I too am nuts about matching my pegs and like my tins with the labels facing the front. Beckham is a bit like that with their tins too!

These are hilarious!

They sure are 😂
OCD? I would say so, a way of warding off anxiety, harmless but a waste of time.

I clench my teeth when I use the secateurs. Makes gardening tense.

I count the steps as I go up the stairs, no matter that I know exactly how many steps there are -13 - I always find myself counting them. Today I realised I was counting my steps between the car and the entrance to the supermarket. So I suppose my idiosyncrasy is just that - counting!

I have to colour match the clothes pegs when hanging washing out.

I'm another one!!!

Hmm… I thought all these were normal, no?

I don't think it is possible to put on mascara without pulling a funny face!

I have to make a short phrase out of car number plates that I pass when I'm walking along the pavement - for example, YBD would be young brown dog! No proper names allowed and no repetitions on that particular session. My DD adds up the numbers on number plates and is quite unsettled if it comes to an odd number

I do something similar - but instead of a phrase, I make a word out of the letters on the number plate.

I’d be in heaven Applegran, I’d have a whale of a time re-arranging your pegs

When I hang the washing on the line it’s not enough for all the socks to be hanging in a row. Each one is hung beside its partner .

Haha, me too.
I also make strange faces when I’m putting mascara on. I don’t drink water from an upstairs tap either. I fold my towels and sheets in a particular way and if DH folds them differently, I unfold them and re fold them my way.

On the rare occasion I use the tumble drier I count the items of clothing as I put them in, but I don’t count them as I take them out. 😳

Oh dear! I think I am very odd - I don't do any of these things! Well, I do straighten the odd picture, but only in my own house. By the sound of it, many of you'd be appalled at the clothes pegs on my washing line - all higgledy piggledy ! OK by me so long as they keep the washing safely in place. But if any of you visit me, you are welcome to colour match pegs and clothes.......

How can there be a right and wrong way to hang screen rolls?
I think having the loose end at the back is tidier.

Toilet rolls? Professional cleaners/housekeepers etc will all tell you they're taught to hang them with the loose end hanging to the front.

I agree. It drives me mad.

I have my cushions square on as well Sago
Need to have an extra book on my bedside table in case I finish the original one too quickly
I recently bought an electric toothbrush and now find myself closing my eyes when I clean my teeth- why ?
The dogs have to use the leads which match their collars, I don't like it when my husband doesn't bother.

Going to stop now, I'm sounding odd even to myself.

With you on the collar and lead issue!

I time the housework. I hate doing it, and I use the Pomodoro method to motivate myself, 15 minutes loud music and a timer. However many cycles of this I need, I award myself a reward of some kind (chapter of my book, 10 minutes on Gransnet, coffee, or whatever at the end of every 15 minutes. I can’t bring myself to do it otherwise.
I also count the weeds I pull when I’m gardening. I spend hours outside, but I can’t go back in the house unless I’ve pulled 100 weeds every time.
I’ve never admitted these weirdnesses before.

The counting is not so weird! I do it too - pick up 10 things and put them where they belong. It helps with tidying!!
Ironing done - will go upstairs with a couple of DH's shirts to hang up each time I'm headed up the stairs. Going with more shirts is not an option!!
DH is a messy sod! Will pour himself a beer and leave the bottle and top on the side instead of straight into recycling. Same with dishwasher - I will put straight in ready to wash and he will leave them above the dishwasher. I have to lose them!!

I’m with you winterwhite - but we certainly seem to be out of step with everyone else. 🤷‍♀️

These are hilarious!

Well had a good laugh at this thread. Some of you would have a fit looking at my washing line, every colour of pegs under the sun and just pegged out as it came out of the washing basket. Just another chore to be done and certainly don't have time for colour coding pegs!

I like to make words from from a word I see on an advert or book or use a big word to make as many words as I can. Is that odd? Personally keeps my brain active I think, must go out and get my washing and multi-coloured pegs in!

Crooked pictures - when I lived in Singapore my amah would give a slight tilt to all the picture frames - so that the devils who sat on them would fall off and not bring me bad luck.......

I have to have the same colour clothes pegs on each item of washing, and preferably the colour should also match the article!!!! Cutlery all has to face the same way in the drawer, but apart from those, I’m quite normal - no, honest, I am!
