What "strange" habit do you have?

I also filled that rectangular hole in the front of my house with a piece of wood that had hinges and also a latching mechanism that opens only to select keys.

Thanks to this "door", as I like to call it, I have been able to save on heating costs and have not had a problem with theft since.

Such a waste! Press it into a long tube constructed around a piece of string. Presto, you have a candle!

My friend Bing wanted to collect that stuff. We don't know why. He kept muttering "earwax golem".

Same here. I claim it's for insulating the hand, not for keeping the beer warm.

Chestnuts roasting, on an open fire...

Hah we used to call him Cherryman.

Partially because of his name (Bing "cherries") but also because he didn't lose his virginity until he was 26.

Hard to imagine, with his earwax obsessions, I'm sure you'll agree.

I straighten out curled cords. Phone cords, radio mic cords (mine only, I leave my co-workers alone), keyboard cords, etc. Not sure why, but it drives me nuts to see a kinked cord.

Ditto. I control the urge when visiting. I know others don't appreciate the value of a straightened phone or power cord.

All my paper money has to be all facing the same way without it being upside down and ordered by dollar denomination.

Anything else is madness.

I had to do that when I worked in a supermarket decades ago. If we didn't present our money to the bank in that fashion, the bank wouldn't take it.

I still do it today.

My strange habit is using Winnie the Pooh's explicative "Oh bother!" It's great! Even if it pops out at the wrong time, no one can complain about it.

I do that too with my paper bills.

There has to be a rebel here that doesn't line up and order his money. Probably che.

he lines his up upside down and backwards, then burns it

hmm, if he does that to all of his bills, then they're really in order, (not counting the burning part of course)

[DirtyMartini]

that's just how he sticks it to the capitalist pigs
