Quirky and OCD tendencies..... Anyone else have them?

[Howling]

One of the most serious fights my wife (then in a fairly new marriage) and I had started from the "correct" way to fold towels in "thirds".

I fold them long ways from years in the army and hotels. She folds them wrong on the short side from her past working in B&Bs in order for the towels to fit in a narrow cupboard (or some such nonsense).
All of our towels are folded her way, I gave up.
But when I fold them when she's out of town or I end up doing them, I fold them my way and stick them in the cabinet in order to hear her muttering totally inappropriately words as she refolds them when she finds them!

Sounds like proving your incompetency and getting banished from helping with that task. Early on one shrunken shirt and I was banned from laundry from a decade. I still don't 'know' how to fold towels correctly.

A sandwich is made from adjoining slices of bread opened like a book to prepare and closed to their original orientation. Anything else is inedible

OH, HECK YEAH!!! That's the way!! :thumbsup:

Grilled cheese on a diagonal. Grilled Rueben the other way.

One slice of bread left in the bag? It goes out the window to the bird feeder.

Sandwich matching... Geez.... You have got to be kidding....

Yes, we truly are a sad bunch!

Me too. I clean up as I go. I can't sit down to eat if there's a pot or pan sitting on the stove.

But tell me this does not apply in your shop!

You mean top/left to bottom/right for grilled cheese and top/right to bottom/left for Ruebens? :confused3: :laughing:

When doing a renovation or repair my wife would vacuum after each and every saw cut.
Naturally my way is once after the job is done, even if I need to use a shovel, LOL.

Then it comes to lights, she turns on each one in every room she enters and naturally leaves it on for when she returns.
I just click them off
But then I leave the toilet seat up and she never complains.

Ahhh, but do you cut in half straight down the middle or from corner to corner? :stirthepot:

I cut sandwiches diagonal and I also cut home made hamburgers in half and when at a restaurant if it is not too tall. I like lettuce, pickle, tomato and sauce and that is about it. No cheese, no bacon, no pineapple, none of that stuff.

ahhh...I remember Burger King "Whoppers" in the early 70s when it actually DID take two hands to handle a Whopper! Taste was great too! What has happened to food? Any more, I'd just as soon cut my throat as eat that crap! Home cooked, Real Food!
