She asked why ---- I told her that because her brother's job was to empty the dishwasher ---to think about it. We KNOW he probably didn't wash his hands after the last time he went to the bathroom...............................ROL -- that poor girl paled out!! Grandson overheard and became quite indignant -- said he DOES wash his hands. LOL
Also,...if you leave knives sticking UP...you could slit your wrists!!!

This is an interesting post ... didn't know I was so OCD until I read all the quirky habits here! I too am a collector/hoarder of sewing and craft stuff. People laugh until they need something ... and I have it and, better yet, can locate it.

And since I have a horrible memory, I usually can't post then cause as I was reading I thought of things to say, but by the time I am done I can't think of any of them. LOL The only dishwasher I have is my DH. And he does the cooking and cleaning. I cannot convince him not to wash my delicates and Light/Bright tops in with his jeans, so now I keep that stuff separate and when I have enough for a load, I throw them in myself. My DGD doesn't want any of her food touching and uses no condiments on anything.And I won't eat anything slimey. Mushrooms, onions greenpeppers, cooked tomatoes.............. And I think the right brain thing is absolutely dead on. But I think it causes me to be a slob!! That's my story and I am sticking to it!! LOL I hope everyone keeps this thread going for a bit, it is fun to read.
10-Q! 10-Q! 10-Q!about the right brain! I love to learn about the brain and what makes ppl tick.
I also want my t.p. coming from the bottom, otherwise I have to turn, turn, turn the darn thing to get the paper to flap in the breeze so I can see where the end is!
Dh is an over the top guy, so he leaves a roll on the counter for himself and leaves the paper on the roller for me.
LOL,...then I use "his" paper to keep from changing mine so often.
We know us gals are more paper inclined/hygenic than men bc they are shakers

Ah! but it is also responsible for the o-c-d cleaners too. Let's face it...left brain is a cat and right brain is whatever it wants to be

psychologists call it cognitive-dissonance...I just call it: me

Always open public restroom door with a paper towel! Do you know how many people have touched that door handle and not washed their hands and do you know where their hands have been. Also hate the blow hand dryers.

A barking dog. Funny how the owner can't hear them.

Screaming kids.

I guess I could go on and on.
gum doesn't bother me, but I don't really know anyone that does that...ohhh, except me...once in a blue moon, but not in public!
I keep the old food in the fridge cleaned out and everything has it's place or I'd never find it again!
I am not overly observant, especially when I'm eating, so I am not aware if there are pigs around, LOL!
I'd rather use paper towels for hand drying than the blowers. I don't know why...maybe bc I have to look for paper to get out of the bathroom anyway.
Barking dogs can be a nuisance. Glad I don't have to deal with that!
Screaming kids...I always blame the parents. I could really elaborate on why too, but just bc I am one of the best parents in the world and raised great kids, I won't gloat, LOL

I also search the back of the shelf, for the freshest date. The stock clerks probably hate me.
Gonna start getting the second can, Lol...now greeting cards? I never touch the one in front! horrors!
I always get milk and produce from the back and we all poke bread for the softest one don't we????

OK... time to really 'fess up... how many of you "talk" for your dog? Y'know what I mean? DH comes home from work & Leo (via my voice) says "Hi, Dad! How was work today?". Admitting to this will get me put in a rubber room, won't it?
Before my Bitsy went over the Rainbow Bridge I talked to her constantly and she basically understood.
I say basically, bc dh says I can say a lot.
What does he know anyway? He's not listening!

see? see what I mean...I think it is absolutely the most normal-usual thing that I do NOT wash my clothes with my husbands.
We don't use the same wash cloths or towels, why would I put my clothes in the washer with his?
I mean just bc we swap slobber sometimes....LOL
