Did all my ironing, put the iron and ironing board away then realised that I had missed a t shirt that had fallen out of the basket....  |

A quarter past five on a dark, cold morning, I'm cycling down the hill from home and the wind is making my eyes water. I suddenly realise I've forgotten my glasses which are essential for work. Back up the hill, unlock the door, a search reveals nothing. Where are they? A chance glance in the mirror and there they are. I'm wearing them! Not raised on my head like jennywren's ex-OH but perfectly in place. I'm so used to them, I didn't know they were there. Must have been the wind making my eyes water, I think, but I did feel like an idiot. Had to pedal hard to get to work on time! ;D |

Oh Rony! Do you all get the 'odd sock' syndrome? I can't be the only one that sorts out the washing to get it put away and what do I find? Yes, an odd sock - again!  |

Nope - they're counted into the machine, and counted out again how's that for OCD ? ;D |

Yes - not rolled together or anything I just don't put one into the machine until I've found his friend in the washing basket ;D They don't like being separated you know ;D ;D P.S. I do have a touch of OCD and I'm an inveterate counter of things - I compulsively count the bricks along the path every time I sit down on the patio etc |

Hmmm...it stems from learning your tables at school, I think! ;D ;D It still doesn't explain how two socks go into the machine, but only one comes out...maybe I have a sock-eating machine!  |

I am exactly the same Barbara and have been ever since I was a child. Sometimes I "will" myself not to do it, but to no avail.......my family think I need certifying |

I count the number of letters in a word on my fingers and can't stop until I get to an even number  |

Post by Auricula on Jan 20, 2011 18:48:06 GMT
 I do that too and the white lines in the middle of the road ( when I'm a passenger) in batches of 10 and I fidget until they start again, if they've stopped not on a multiple of 10

And...I can't stop posting on here unless my personal tally is an even number ( everything has to have a friend)

Bet the men in white coats are wearing odd socks. ;D Auricula, if you lose a sock don't try counting them...  Have you ever had that feeling that you can see something strange from the corner of your eye, but when you turn to look there is nothing there? Or that slight feeling of dread that there is something behind you, and you just don't want to look, but you know that you must. Then there's that noise at night from downstairs that keeps you awake listening in case the stairs begin to creak. You never see anything, but the next day you discover a sock missing... |
