Hi
Just back into the office from lunch...And I know a lot of people don't agree with sunbeds and that they are bad for you. But I do use them everynow and again. so that when I go on my holidays I don't look like a large white whale lying on the beach.
But what I want to know is there anything you do thats just silly. Like still holding onto the tap when drinking a glass of water? or is that just me ...... :wow1:
I hold onto the tap and check the time while holding the full glass....
Forget it
even if i'm indoors i still cup my hand around the flame when lighting a smoke.............does that count as whacky claire?
tottaly : My Mom ducks down when driving under a bridge ??
If I see an Ambulance I always touch my head and then touch my toes and hope I never go in one of those.
bling1
when walking with my sister - she will not allow anything to come inbetween us : Don't split the post, I get told!!!
Habbit or stupidity ? - I almost always toutch the kettle right after it has boiled to feel if the water is warm. Ja, right - as if it would ever be cold when it has just boiled.
I wave at one magpie
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told.........
AND
I always bless myself when an ambulance passes me.......
Whenever I talk to my folks on the phone and it come time to say goodbye, we always say bye at least 3 times each, bye, bye, bye. It drives Mike nuts - don't know why we do it, just find it hard to put the phone down I guess!
callme
:sorriso2: I always end a phone conversation with 'Bye so bye'........what the hell is that all about? idontknow
Don't you ever dare take the last mouthful of my plate! I warned you! faceinfood image14
Another one - when i'm a passenger (as opposed to driving), and i think the driver isn't going to brake in time i press my feet up against the floor boards (ridiculously thinking it's going to stop the car if necessary)..........how many of your drivers do the same when passengers?
numberone
keep them coming - i'm feeling more and more normal by the minute e154
numberone
I do when driving with Greg, funny thing is, he's not a bad driver....... he now calls me Hyacinths from Keeping Up Appearances

:sorriso2: I do that as well Delia.
and I never drive in a green car.
I always walk on the right of the person I'm walking with otherwise I crabwalk.
I squeeze the toothpaste tube in the middle upwards and continue to do so till it becomes difficult to get toothpaste out .. then frustration makes me come to my senses and do the whole squeeze it from the bottom to move the gunk up to the top .. next time i proceed to squeeze from the new and shorter middle .. and repeat the whole show all over again .. and yes i may be a good and fast driver but I do the pressing of the foot when a passenger .. I,m very aware of stopping distance . some people scare me the way they brake at the last moment .. never know whats going to happen ..

Does he know Mercs run on a LOT of petrol??? :emot19:
If I cut open a roll/brotchen for myself then I always break off the soft inside piece of the top half and eat it before I start putting any filling in the roll.
Don't know why!
:emot112:
toast has to be cut in triangles, not recangles ????? taste better yum yum :buffo9:
Oddballs the lot o' ye!
Me? Do the breaking thing all the time - I hate being a passenger. Also constantly straighten the towels in the bathroom.
Some people I know always make sure the toilet roll paper feeds from the bottom (or top - can't remember!)
We go through so much loo paper at home I couldn't give a damn which way it rolls as long as the empty roll has been replaced!
No, no no Michele! Toilette paper MUST roll from the top, no doubt. And it must always be rolled up.
Did you mean me??

I am not the most tidy person on this planet .. I drop clothing literally as I walk through the house .. expecting it to just be magically picked up .. Mom never got me right on that one.. but yet I cannot stand looking at a picture that is slightly skew on the wall .. And yes you right Claire .. toast in triangles doe strangely so taste better .. what about toast fingers ??
I always put my foot down as if breaking....but I don't even drive!!!
Triangles with (toast) marmite and cheese 'you either luv it or hate it!!'
Always walk on the outside of the lil gran'kids!! bighug
Buttered Toast fingers go well with soft boiled egg chopped up in bowl and mushed gently with butter , white pepper and salt .. then you kind of scoop it up with the buttered toast fingers .. Yummy ...
My husband Frank has to eat all his veg first, where as I have to have a small piece of everything on my plait on the fork at the same time. My son Aaron has to fill his Yorkshire puddings with the peas and potatoes , eatting in our house is a real treat ...... hehehehe :emot19:
I double back or triple back on some things like, switching things off and locking doors..... even though I know I have done it... I just have to go back and check it again...like when I disconnect from the internet...I know I have disconnected ...but I have to go and check again..... I've locked a door...I know it/....... But I just have to go back and check it..... I know I married Michele, but I have to go back and make sure ......... swink
Mike there is a medical term for this, speak to your GP!

Michele make a appointment with his GP first thing in the morning, I'm concerned for his well being. I'll start checking the medical books.
:emot26:
Uh Oh ! this is like peeling an onion .. as the layers go we have recognition .. Locking doors .. On reflection i do that often to the point of turning back even if its gonna cost me a few minutes .. and double check .. but then thats when me distracted mood in the morning. or in a rush .. . i know its dangerous and has consequencs so i sooner double check .. Michael we getting worried about your last utterance .. rolling pin for you !!
SandyB, don't take the P--s out of the inflicted, poor Michele has to live with him. swink
@ Michele dawoman
Our Paula .. Settled down I hope .. good to see you transmogrified into Bugs Bunny .. how you doing?? .. me nowhere near taking piss out of Mike .. I am having dejavu moments of recognition and yes well yes .. aware of our perfectly inflicted imperfection .. its what makes us all so interesting .. Michele seems to be happy with the crazy man she settled with and yes she is indeed the woman ..
Whenever I'm buying a magazine or paper I can never take the top one,
it always has to be a couple behind....the same with all my shopping,I
always have to take from behind the front ones!!! Does any one else do that?? idontknow
Oh yes, I think because I test the front bottles of deodorant,perfume and airfreshners that everybody else does. Then I take one from the back.
@ Pam - I also don't take the top magazine/newspaper, always from the middle of the pile!
And also with regard to shopping - I like to pack the shopping into the bags myself, I hate it when someone else packs it and all the shopping is mixed up!
Mike also always used to laugh at me when I set out the breakfast table at night before going to bed - of course not being the one who has to get the girls sorted and off to school he doesn't realize how of a morning every second counts. Now in all the magazines you read about time-saving they tell you to do that, so :emot172: to you Mike!
e154
Hi Di, how are you??
Yes I think that's most probably why I do it!!
How's that little grandaughter of yours? e154
Hey Michelle,howzit/ Yes I use to do that when we had them all at home too.....
I still make sure I have fresh coffee in the filter before we go to bed.....am
not human 'til I've had my coffee in the morning!!!!! laughpoint
Hell, this is a buzy topic today can't get in here for love nor money :sorriso2:
@ Pam an Di....same here
My mom was the best...when loading the washing machine she would start with smalls then on top of that medium items then the larger things... hanging the washing, all the underwear would be in the middle (so neighbours could'nt see) then she would work her way outwards with jeans being the last to be hung
Shopping.... all the cold stuff together all the tins together, cleaning material ect ect. Paula and I still giggle about it when we go shopping.
Retail Tips.... Never take the front item in an upright fridge, it will be older than the one at the back and not as fresh due to the defrost cycles on the fridge or warm air in a store blowing against it... always take from the back...
When buying a deep frozen item, always take from the bottom, sometimes the packers or a customer leave the item above the red line ... partially defrosts then is repacked into the fridge by mistake by a packer only to refreeze..... so take from the bottom.....
What if I fell into the freezer reaching for the items at the bottom?
You should only shop in a store that caters for leprechauns then....... image201
