Mustard on the CHEESE?: Idiosyncracies!

[Deborah*]

When I was a little girl, I would have chicken noodle soup with crackers crumbled in it on top every morning for breakfast. I'd sit down with the rest of the family, who would have a proper, wholesome breakfast & I'd have my chicken noodle soup with lots of crackers I'd put on top of it.

After each season, my dress shirts must be taken to the cleaners then left in the plastic bags until it's time to wear them again next year!

I've always done this.
Clothes, in the closet (when I've had enough clothes to do this, and thankfully I do again)
Go in this order, from Left to Right (I'm left handed):
short sleeve tops
long sleeve tops
sweaters
drapes/shrugs/boleros/cardigans (light over wear)
shapewear/corsets
skirts
trousers
dresses

then they must go from Left to Right
Dark colours to Light.

My books must be arranged by non-fiction education genera that flows into other subjects as naturally as possible
eg: biology> chem> physics> flowing into philosophy of science> epistemology> philosophy 101> philosophy of ethics> of politics> political history> history> archeology> anthropology> feminist anthropology> feminist theory> etc etc etc...

I shelve like I think: tangentially

Non-fiction? who keeps non-fiction??
I only have a small amount of it and so it all goes on one shelf together.

Hotdogs:
because of IBS - no mustard no onions
Not because I don't love them but because they hurt, a lot.

RMT school gave me this one*:
If my sheets and towels are folded WRONG I will refold them. Even at home.

At school, when you are doing clinic duty, if you are on Hydrotherapy duty you also are on Laundry Duty. Which means you wash literally hundreds of sheets/towels and you are taught the PROPER way to fold sheets and towels so that they all sit aligned, curved, and stackable, and viewable and without being messy. You can count them easy, take them without making a mess, and people see only neat, clean, even piles with NO FOLDS SHOWING.

So, if you fuck up, you are made to do the whooooooole shelves aaaaallll over again. All of them.

And if you are naughty, don't wear they right uniform trousers, are late for shift, or bugger about or whatever, you are put on laundry duty.

I didn't give a flying FUCK about folding sheets as laundry is my nemesis.

Guess who was made to refold hundreds of sheets at the age of 45 until I cared?

now I'm neurotic about it. Thanks, Rick.

edit to add further admission: also, at work, if I'm the one sorting sheets onto the shelves, I also make sure they are in stacks according to fabric. All are white and cotton. But they are bought at different times from different companies so the thickness and thread count can vary. It bugs me if the piles are mixed.

I'm the only one at work who does this

Someone else posted an idiosyncrasy that I have...ketchup has to be on top of the burger, not the pickle or onion.

Also, I have a dishwasher but never use it...and I wash my dishes every evening and they have to be put away before I go to bed or it will make my brain hurt.

Oh, my clothes are ordered similarly!

I love Beaver's Sweet Hot Mustard, but I only use it squirted on my plate never on an actual sandwich or burger.

I never read two books at a time!

I must finish one before going on to another....
