If you have a stainless steel sink, there may be a point to it after all. At least a couple of times, I’ve triggered a loud bang from rapid expansion of the metal sink when pouring hot pasta water into it. Seems like there could be enough of a shift to potentially result in a leak at the drain.
Maybe not high potential, I’ll grant you, but I run cold water like some other posters, as a precaution.
When I take anything off the shelve at the grocery store, I always move the same item that was behind it up to the front so people can see it.
Milk, corn, ice cream … makes no difference what it us.
I take walks. Just leave the house and walk around, no destination in mind, don’t go into any buildings, and walk home when I feel like it. I sometimes get off the bus three or four stops away and walk or walk back. I’m the only person I know who takes walks.
I can’t just walk away from a TV. Even if I’m turning it off, I find something that I would actually want to watch, and then I walk away or turn it off or whatever. It makes no sense, but there you go.
I won’t eat a dessert (or other empty calories) unless it’s something I really, really like. For example, my wife brought home a piece of pineapple cake for me early this week. I haven’t touched it. She said, “Well, I know you eat pineapple.” I told her that I do, but I’m not crazy about it and the few hundred calories in the cake aren’t worth the enjoyment. The same applies to ice cream…I’ll only eat chocolate chip or chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. It just seems silly to consume the calories if you don’t think the taste will offset the burden of working them off.
Well, yeah, otherwise the ones at the bottom never get used. I bought x plates and I’m going to use x plates. Otherwise I bought plates that never get used, which would never get to fulfil the role they were created for and would probably feel left out and break out of spite when the big special event came round and they did get used.
I don’t do it consistently though, I like to keep my crockery guessing.
Oh yeah and I shamelessly anthropomorphise everything. That counts as a quirk, right?
After the local evening news I rush to switch the channel lest I hear the Music to 'Wheel of Fortune". I really hate that show. It tickles Mr.Wrekker to see me jump up really fast grabbing for the remote.
