Society & Culture Things you do/did that you probably think no one else does

This has me the biggest problem.

I can't eat and write at the same time.

Left handed here but right footer.

I operate my phone with my right hand though and do the same with a computer mouse/touchpad.

males (and presumably females ) should use their opposite hand for things like mouse and phone to keep their dominant hand useful.......

For holding your beer?

In our cutlery draw the order of cutlery is Fork, Knife , Spoon. My wife says i'm weird because the norm is Knife, Fork, Spoon. I explained that i like to grab the knife and forks with the hands that I use them in so my order makes sense. We've had this argument for 20 odd years now.

Your wife is right

 

[FRUMPY]

ill blow all your minds - our cutlery is set up as teaspoons, spoons, forks, knives.....

thats how the wife set it up - i couldnt give a shit, you get used to any order. same as toilet paper, i dont care which way it is on, why would it bother anyone?

People give a shit how cutlery is arranged in a freakin draw?
That is some certifiable shit I tell you.
The toilet paper I kind of get, but I really dont give a shit. (see what I did there?)
Cutlery...sweet Jesus people.

you don't live with someone who has ocd do you

 

[mr bagcroft]

No ,thankfully.
OCD can be serious, and I get that.
But dicking around with order in a cutlery draw, in a serious manner...I don't know man, thats a bit out there to me.
Thankfully she dosen't, but finds other ways to annoy me.

my wife doesn't change it around, it's just another quirk in our relationship that we bring up when putting dishes away . i'm easy going so if she wants something done opposite to me i just let it happen, much easier living life without letting small things in a relationship upset you

Couldn't agree more.
If I was faced with it, I would let it go for sure.
Got to save conflict for stuff that actually matters.

the one we always giggle about is pillow cases, my wife puts four pillowcases on our pillows, we have 3 pillows each, she hates sweat and germs and figures this protects the pillow better. I give her so much crap when we hang the washing and put the sheets back on because it takes ages to put all those ****ing covers on. it shits me but if it makes her feel better then who am i to say anything other than a giggle when putting the bed back together.

how about cushions?
Are you clawing your way through cushions on the couch, on the bed...floating through the air ?...

we don't sleep on cushions so it doesn't bother her, it's only what her head lays on

fair enough,
it was just jest, as women (some women) lurvvvvvv to stack cushions on the bed/couch, that then need to chucked aside whenever the bed or couch need to be used. Its mildly amusing, but ridiculous at extremes.
I have seen some doozies.

oh now i get you, yes ****ing cushions, we have like ten extras, if i go to bed earlier than her i push them all on her side as my way of saying how stupid they are

 

[Shell]

I do not understand the cushions either. I have 4 regular pillows on the bed, no cushions.

yeah i don't get it especially when we have guests over my wife always asks for our bedroom door to be shut so there's really no point as no one sees them on the bed

 

[Gralin]

We have two pillows on the bed, one each, because that's how many you need

 

[Pistol Night]

This is the correct answer.

 

[Gralin]

This is the correct answer.

We don't have a tv in the bedroom and don't tend to read in bed so no need for anything more than the sleeping pillows.

I can understand having extras for sitting up if you do that regularly but never bought into the decorate your bed for guests crap

guests don't go in my bedroom and the door is closed by default so they don't see in it either.

 

[mr bagcroft]

All good points, so the paradox is ...why the **** do they do it?
I'm genuinely curious.

Spoon, fork, knife, sharp knives.

And of course, the third drawer down is full of miscellaneous items.
