I started keeping a list of some of my quirks because I find them amusing so I thought I'd share some of mine, you can add your own ones to the thread below if you feel like it:
- I can't touch hangers - they freak me out.
- certain kinds of pasta are WRONG.
- particular bowls in my kitchen are for specific things (pasta, cereal) and cannot be mixed up.
- I haven't worn underwear since the pandemic.
This thread is so interesting ^^
* When I walk my feet point and go to the left
Not sure why lol but I've had that quirk all my life so far
* I only drink from plastic cups
* I horde things
I open Pringle-Cans buy squeezing the top of the tube..
What.....you know I'm like Lionel Stander ? I don't think so !! Coz I'm not.
I know..
The one I feel most keenly is coffee weights. Started at 200g and have gone to 190 - 180 - 165 and yet the cost of the "item" has increased a quid or more. I don't think many people notice that a "rebranding" on the shape of a container ALWAYS means - just a little bit less product for us all. God - I'm old - and grumpy.....I'll start moaning about "youngsters" in a moment.
I must go do some skateboard parkour.........see ya l8trs, tatrs! I'm young at heart.
(but more honestly, and for my peers, perhaps I'm more akin to Max from Hart to Hart)
Yeah, some of them are like, 12g now? About half of what they used to be..
That's great idea smelling it. Look and smell and then I'll be satisfied it's ok ^^
A huge part of my anxiety is making sure food is ok
That's like packets of crisps too. There is a small amount at the bottom quarter of the bag.
And too lazy to change their packaging (packaging that, by the way, is ENTIRELY impossible to recycle by current means. They ALL go to landfill.
An unintended consequence of shrinkflation?
I guess this opening technique is only really viable these days because the tube is only 60% full these days! In the good old days, if you did that, you would have smashed up the top Pringles......and that is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE !!
Yeah, none of that faffing to unseal it, if the shape changes the seal breaks easily..
So the lid jumps off?
SMELL - is the "best before" date of choice for me.
If it smells 'wrong' - then into the recycling bin it goes.
If it looks 'wrong' - I'll take it out and smell it all over - then decide. [Dogtooth - If you see this.....LEAVE IT!]
If I eat something and it tastes strange or I'm told it tastes strange or looks it then I put it in the bin straight away
I'm told it's wasteful but I think it's just sensible ^^
