inspired by san's wonky placemat...
do you suffer from OCDs or have any strange little quirks? i always find things like that fascinating. to get us started, mine are:
1) i only eat off plain plates and with plain cutlery
2) i can't stand being touched on the top of my head
3) i like beans, but i can't have them touching any other food stuffs

Do you clean your teeth in set movements with a specific number of those movements HW?
I wish,
I have a real problem with colgate as I cant understand why they have like 15+ different toothpastes (obviously they have to create products because they have such a large monopoly), because I feel that there is not 1 single paste you can buy that would give the "best" overall clean for the mouth.
So I buy colgate total and colgate max white.
I have an electric toothbrush with a quadrant feature so it is easy to time the brushing to each quadrant of the mouth, so i do the entire cleaning process twice, once with total then with max white.
Then I give it a quick brush over with a manual brush (13p basic from sainsbury), 10 circles per quadrant on the front only
then the tongue is cleaned with another manual brush
then I use colgate whitening mouth wash to finish it off.
takes like 10 minutes, anyone who has seen me doing this or knows im doing it (was bad on holiday) thinks im nuts.
if i cant clean like this (cant remember any time in the last 2 years when i haven't done it) my mouth feels disgusting.
I also shower in the exact same sequence of operations every time.
Basically I cant understand how people just "do" things, when I do things, I do them in precise optimised methods refined by doing them hundreds of times, from individual tasks to overall process (eg entire morning routine)
So every morning I do each task in the same way, in the exact same order, starting at the same time, with tasks paralleled and mixed together etc.
When I stop going out and getting fucked up and having fun/shagging birds, I get more and more anal each day. Start to worry about miniscule issues and getting het up about cleaniness and the like. My advice to you is party more, you only live once.
Also colgate is shit in the scheme of things, a brand called lacer or various others make betters toothpastes.

My job makes it far worse, coding, electronic design and solving insane abstract concepts to reality means everything is analysed in precise, logical, methodical manner.
I design products that are out in the field running industry, mistakes cannot be made, things have to be correct first time. Things like that rub off on daily processes unfortunately.

I do! I'm worse with pies, sweet ones - bite around the edge then lift the top off, save, eat the filling with my finger eat the top pastry then the empty bottom. Can only eat savoury pies upside down though.

You put a twix in the fridge first so it's cold enough to eat the biscuit on it's own so you're left with just the caramel and chocolate

I hope you enjoy what you do, or are making lots of money, or a mixture of the two!

I do indeed, kitkat's too, four finger's are best, kitkat chunky is way too easy.

I get proper upset when I see a savoury pie upside down. I always think people are lazy and just empty it out the the pie case, just turn back the right way!

The positives outweigh the negatives, I greatly enjoyed my 20's whilst still setting up my career, cant say fairer than that.

It's not out of laziness for me, genuinely just into upside down pie's, the top pastry is my fav bit, save it to last innit. I won't go into the finer details, I eat pies weird.

I know some people that still do. One of my girlfriends mates is a 'section-eater'. Eats one thing at a time. It's usually what kids do. I used to do it until i was about 14, then realised it's 100x better if you mix it all together.

i eat one thing at a time, it's nicer having the taste of different things rather than a jumble of slop

i do that with mcdonalds etc, eat the chips first then the burger, but only because its easier that way, and you dont have to keep putting the burger back down with your messy hands etc

I do it with McDonalds as well. Mainly cos the fries go cold so fast. Always eat the yorkshire puddings last in a sunday roast as well. But that's as far as it goes

bite the birger, then wolf a handful of chips in when you are still chewing.
1) does anyone else eat a big mac chips and drink whilst driving?
2) bet theres a massive amount of fuks who dont eat vegatables as well. (mum has to do them christmas dinner with roast pots/chips and beans and tomato sauce etc, but she doesnt mind whatsoever cos she made him this way by spoiling him from birth and not telling him off for eating like a mong or crying at a carrot)
3) bet theres a massive amount of fuks who have tomato sauce with every meal as well.

The only thing I do is to eat the boring veg in a roast (broccoli etc), which doesn't contribute to mixed forkfuls, first to get it out the way early, this does not apply to roast onions/garlic, carrots, parsnips etc.
