Things you do in a particular way

Homebird

Hoping I am starting a light hearted discussion. I used to have various coloured socks and always matched my socks to my outfits. When I needed new ones I decided to buy navy and black as I already had various shades of brown. I thought this might make things simpler. Now if I want navy or black I can spend ages trying to work out which is which as I still match the most suitable colour. I wish I had stuck to different colours that are easily distinguishable.

Do others have things they do in a particular way?

  • 1. All my socks have animals on them. I despise other socks..

    2. I eat the same breakfast every day, it's very specific. It has to be prepared in the same way. I never deviate, it upsets me. 

    3. I have a fixed  {and quite complicated!) order to do things in when I go to bed, which has to be done in order. I don't deviate if I can help it. It's one of the reasons I hate staying away from home. And also the possibility of an unusual breakfast...

    4. I buy only two brands of clothes. 

    5. I have the same mug all the time. I have done this since childhood. Although there are many other mugs in the cupboard, I only use one.

    There are more, but those are the ones I thought of first..

  • I never eat a bowl of one kind of cereal. Always at least 2 or sometimes 3, with the plainest on the bottom (shreddies or weetabix) and the least plain on top. 

    When I listen to an album I kinda like for the first time I add it to a note on my phone of numbered music, then use a random number generator to pick what to listen to. And when something's been listened to 5 times it leaves the list. 

  • I buy the same brand of black socks, all identical and same cotton mix. No decision to be made and if one sock wears out they are not part of a unique pair.

  • I don't do it quite so much now, but I used to be rather particular about ensuring the socks I wore were colour coordinated with my clothing. As an example, if I had been wearing a red top and navy trousers, then my socks would need to be predominantly red or navy too, or feature both colours (i.e. red and navy striped socks).
