Probably because people always pick up things from the front, have a look and then put them back if it's not wanted. So if its something like bread it'll be squished, or an item of clothing may be dirty from people mauling it. That's why I do it anyway!!

Nah it's because of stock rotation

When the shops are re-stocking a section, they put stuff with further out dates (i.e. fresher) at the back and move the rest to the front because the majority of people would take the front one

This reduces stock wasteage

When going to bed I've a routine,
Brush my teeth, mouthwash, retainer, go into room, turn on light (I close the blinds earlier) check window, close curtain, check window, straighten curtains (no gaps, must be someway symmetrical!)
Turn off light, Plug in phone get into bed.
The routine is so automatic I did it when I was drunk and everyone thought I couldn't find my bed with all the walking about I was doing!

I also have to make sure that if I'm the last person in the room that I turn off extension leads etc.

I don't think t-shirts go out of date but yeah, that'd be it for items with best before dates

I'm quite conservative and fussy when it comes to table manners. No elbows on the dinner table, no slouching, no mouth open chewing, TV should be off, no phones/tablets/devices to hand; must-be-late divas should be given a kick up the hole.

Only when the manager is looking at them it takes ages to take off all the items, put two or three in the back and then restock

Even when I was a kid, and to this day, if I went into a house and saw someone/the family eating a meal anywhere other than at the dining table I'd always think thereafter that they had no breeding or sense of occasion.

If I had to make an occasion of getting fuel into my body on a daily basis I think I'd long since have been sent to a padded cell where I'd spend my time rocking gently back and fourth, drooling myself dry. At least there they'd just shove the food under the door and let me stuff it into my face-hole.

I just said a little prayer that someday you will refuse a tradesman the much needed use of the toilet , I then prayed that he will sh1t into a bag and hide it behind a stud wall or piss into your water tank in the attic .

In fact, I am definitely overly fussy when it comes to time-keeping. If I was told we were leaving at 2PM, and we left a minute late, I would be fretting that we are running late, and everything is going to be knocked off kilter.

This is incredibly stressful and so many people just don't understand. I'd also rather not go somewhere than be late, even if time isn't important. I also frequently check to make sure we're still running on time through out the journey.

Same, but I eat my potatoes last because they're harder to eat and I don't like leaving meat behind if I'm full. It's veg, meat, spuds. Except mince, mince gets mashed into spuds but that's the only time it's acceptable.

I also organise coloured sweets before eating them.
Also, when I accept something to be the way it is, it has to stay that way. It stresses me out if plans suddenly change, especially small things. If, for example, it was arranged that we were going in a certain car but it changed last minute to another car, it would automatically stress me enough to ruin the rest of the day. Or if I slept on one side of a bed, I'd have to stay on that side of the bed. I'd get quite panicked if I had to sleep on the other side. If I'm given time to adapt and to accept a changed situation, I'm usually fine though. That adaptation period can vary though.

I'm more alluding to when someone prepares a meal for you or you've prepared one for someone else rather than throwing findus crispy pancakes at the wall and licking them off.

Yep.

I agree with you though on a number of those things - the lateness and elbows and talking while mouth full especially.
I don't mind the TV being on though, and checking a device now and then if necessary is grand, but not to be on the damn thing non stop. Hates that.

Best before dates on food.

Duiske

Time. People not being on time. I know people can get delayed for a few minutes, **** happens, but its people who couldn't really give a toss how late they are. They drive me nuts. Especially the ones who walk in and when its pointed out they are late will say "Oh, is that the time ?" Like they couldn't be arsed to look at a clock all morning to make sure they were not late. Then they look at you like you've got some kind on time OCD. :mad: Anyway, 21:59, gotta put the cat out.

Hope. The last bastion of the futile

And be careful what you hope for. If your wish were to come true then I stand to benefit enormously from it. Whereas you would only end with worse than mere hope. Regret. Regret that you werent more careful about what you wished for

I do the opposite to this. I mix everything up. Each fork has to have at least 2 things on it, the more the better.

stampydmonkey

Have to have everything in order in the wardrobe...suits, work shirts, work trousers, work jackets, fleece jackets, light jackets, hoodies, jumpers, long sleeve light tops, long sleeve casual shirts, short sleeve casual shirts, t-shirts, tracky bottoms, outdoor pants, jeans, spare hangers.

Everything facing forward and hangers all the same way. If my girlfriend wants to fcuk with me she'll put something back to front with the hanger the wrong way......AHHH OCD.

Everything has a place....shes thinks Im a bit mad however watch me find **** in a rush...military precision and never forget anything...packed and ready to go while everyone else is pulling their hair out trying to find stuff...mwhahaha

Closing press doors. I close press doors in the canteen in work, friends houses, my house, everywhere. I was even driven mad in B&Q one day when I was looking for one of those little jokes that hold a shelf up. I had to go into the kitchen section and walk around closing all the display kitchens doors.

Also, the emersion. It must be checked every night that it's off.

I blame my mother for these things.

If my girlfriend serves me food that goes with tea (sandwich, fryup, beans on toast) and doesn't bring the tea at the same time, I explode*. Especially if the food is hot food and I have to wait for the tea and so the food starts going cold.

And before you suggest that I could just start eating the food I reply "NO NO NO"

You can't start eating "tea" food without tea. The first bite HAS to be taken with the first swig of tea. I can tolerate her saying "tea's on it's way" as she serves the grub and the tea is on the counter and she obviously brought the food and the utensils so her hands were full....that I can handle. But if she serves the food and says "tea's on it's way" and then I hear her clicking on the kettle....there's FUCKING WAR!!!






(*) I don't really explode, I just whine like a bitch and she says "ah shut the fuck up, it's coming!"

Damn right too. Tell her that.... in the event of not being able to deliver both together (an ambomination in it's own right), the ettiquette is:

Tea first, to allow it to brew. Then serve accompaniment.

Actually, to avoid the disgraceful situation of not being able to serve both simulataneously, I would highly reccomend you consider acquiring a 2nd server. I believe the windsors are letting some go,maybe give a call.







Alternatively, I suggest you get up off yer ****ing lardy ass and get it yourself, you lazy milk fed gimp excuse for a mouth breathing arsehole

Better condition as well. People have a habit of touching and squeezing things before finally deciding not to buy them.
