What’s the quirkiest / most eccentric thing you do ?

[Tinks2014]

Have to colour match bleach, soap etc
to bathroom colours. Yellow in grey and yellow cloakroom etc . My husband has been known to ask what colour bleach when it’s on the list even though they are in a cupboard .
Have to fluff up cushions when I get up off the sofa . My son use to think he was being funny when he would pile them along the sofa or mix them up when I got in from work .
Things have to be central . Daughter doesn’t like switches to be one up and one down.
Always eat choc first on crunchies etc.

I love this thread because it clarifies that I'm not "eccentric" like the rest of you lot. Some of these habits are a bit bizarre.

I do often eat pizza with a knife and fork though. Not always I might add.

My sister and I have always eaten pizza with a fork and knife - even though we never had it as children and only when we left home we never eat with our fingers (isn’t that odd) plus we say fork and knife and not knife and fork

I love that some things I thought off as being odd dont seem that strange after reading this thread

I don't eat other meals with my fingers so I'm not sure why it's odd to eat pizza as a meal with a fork and knife.

If the pizza is cut up and eaten as finger food, such as part of a buffet or similar, then sure I'll eat it without implements.

We once saw an older child at Disney eating mashed potatoes using her fingers. Which was, erm, "interesting".

Just a tradition really! For as long as I can remember (50 years) on or around my birthday in July I have slept under the stars (not often in Lancs ! ) in the back garden.
Started when I was a little one and dad would come home from the pub and drag me and my brothers out and tell us his Burma WW2 stories.
So every year I drag a couple of cushions out on the lawn with acouple of blankets, get my head down and sleep in the fresh air (usually with the dog.)
If it rains I usually just hitch up a tarpaulin on a couple of cricket stumps.

Crackers? Yes
Great fun? Yes
Alchohol assisted? Always.

That actually sounds fantastic and something I would love to do. I just fear that DH and the kids would think I had finally lost the plot!

My dear daughter holds her knife and fork in the ‘ wrong ‘ hands.
She is 22.
I noticed about 2 years ago 😂😂
