Odd habits

Just wondered if anyone was like me, in reading a newspaper from back to front. I know the sports pages are on the back, and its not as though I'm that obsessed with football etc., but its someting I've always done. Anyone else equally as nuts?

Re: Odd habits

I read my newsmagazines back to front, also sort the paper into sections in order: Metro, Style, daily extra (Food, Local News, Weekend, Health) ) Main section, discard the classified and Sports. I also peel fruit, I don't think that's odd, but have had people tell me it is ....

Re: Odd habits

I also read a newspaper from back to front John. I also absent-mindedly re-arrange things on shop shelves if I think they might look better. When I have a meal, I also feel compelled to eat the things like potatoes and veg. before the meat - saving the meat until last. I also feel the need to have a clean floor - other things maybe messy but I am obsessive about a clean floor.

Re: Odd habits

If I eat a bar of whole nut chocolate, I nibble off all the chocolate first thus saving a pile of scrumptious nuts until last ....... does that make me 'nutty'?

Another one with odd habits here I don't have newspapers or magazines though.
I am obsessed about being clean and tidy. I have been know to get out of bed to check the linen cupboard is tidy and the towels neatly piled in case I die in the night and someone sees my untidy piles
Milk bottles must be clean before being allowed to enter the fridge (I still have a milkman delivery).

I like very hot tea and coffee and warm my cup with hot water before making drinks,I and worry when in other peoples houses that the drinks will be cold because they haven't done this.

One of the joys of living alone is it is possible to have these little obsessions without annoying anyone
