My friend has a special comb located just inside the dinning room door so he can straighten the fringes on the rug.

I have SEVEN of those!!! :D


OK, admittedly, we call them cats, but they do deal with rug fringes, possibly not the way your friend would be happy with ;)

What, no fuel bingo?
Where's the fun in that? :LOL:

The fun bit is the people watching while you fill up, not having to worry about putting too much in. We get all sorts at our local tesco filling station :cautious:
 
Funnily enough he was a cat person too - they had, at last count, 16 - 14 of which were Bengals but lived in a cat house (not the US term) which was larger than my terrace and had better central heating

Which reminds me, there is a filling station near us that has a saucer on the counter with about 50ps worth of 1, 2 and 5p's which they invite you to use compliment os them when you go over by a pence or two. It's something or nothing but I always think its a nice touch.

There is a garage local to me, that 9 / 10 times always jumps 1p when you put the nozzle back in :(

No matter how much you argue, they claim that I had "used" that 1p's worth.
I did however find a solution though.
I started telling them I would pay the penny but would report them to "weights and measures"
Or what ever its called these days.
Its not the "price" its the "principle" :D

Don't you flush it away when it gets messy? Looks very untidy on the window sill!

Not allowed to flush it here! Bin provided instead.

Don't you bloody start :p

Another bonus of living on your own, no one to mess with the bog roll (y)

I'll guess the roll simply doesn't get changed then!

I can't possibly be the only "V" member....and there must be a member starting VA or VE first :) :p

In reverse alphabetical order, Vi would come before them...

Phewwwwww for once I'm way down the list :D
But then it's female mods that ban me ;)

:whistle:

...I on the otherhand are far closer to the front of the list than I care to be...

Your safe, the only mod I ever tried to ban was me, and I failed at that too :D
(Hence my earlier pratt tag, but I never knew if that was because I tried, or because I failed :D )
 
My OCD is checking the doors are locked. Sometimes I just cannot walk away from the door then others I can. It makes me so p****d off with myself when I keep going back.
 
I had a neighbour with OCD. In his case it was Obnoxious C (see you next tueday) Disorder.

Loo Roll.
Absolutely HAS to unravel over the roll, not from underneath.

I do that. I was pulling the paper from underneath one time, and the big hairy spider that'd decided to hide in the tube, leaped out in a panic and landed on my wrist. If the paper had been over, he'd have just fallen on the floor.

:oops: :$

Just reminded me that I get out of the bath and then pull the plug out.

Ages ago I washed a spider down the plughole,had my bath and pulled the plug while I was still in it and it must have been holding onto the plug! :eek:

The bathroom got soaked as I leaped out, I am SO not good with spiders!


...and I do the "over the top" loo roll too! :D
 
The big ones will not go down plug holes. It's the legs.

They've been known to disappear, then pop out of the overflow. :(
 
This is a must read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_paper_orientation
I'm an 'under'.

I also have to have my tie ends (not that I wear one very often now a days) at exactly the right lengths. The little end must never, NEVER be longer than the big end the big end must ALWAYS be just above the belt. It might take 20 tries to get it right, but right it MUST be.

Oh, and the knot has to be a double Windsor Knot, none of those simple wrap over loose knots. And the knot must also be perfectly in the middle of the collar and straight as a die.

I could go on....

Neither!

Our loo roll holder fell off the wall years ago and we never bothered to replace it. We have a wicker 'tower' that holds 3 spare rolls, the one in-use sits on top of it.

Who in their right mind puts the toilet paper under? :LOL:

Have to say that this isn't on my list of niggles, mainly because I'm the only one in our house who ever puts the toilet roll on the holder.
Darren is happy to just plonk it on the back of the loo or even on the floor (which is a whole other annoyance in itself!)

So as I said, it's not something that ever really bothers me that much - and of course I always put it on the way that all sane people do, which is over :p

In that case, do you prefer clockwise, or anti-clockwise?

now you see, I think that comes down to 2 factors, which side of the loo it's on and whether you are left or right handed :D

Or....is the roll lifted off each time? :cautious:
 
Conversation still seems centred around the loo roll thing. Are you sure that JS isnt having an influence on this thread? :cautious:

For those of you truly wondering what happens to spiders when you wash them away......

The Spider Song

Now I've got a sink where I always wash my cup,And I've got a sink where I throw up,
There I wash my hair and there I brush my teeth,And there a little spider came to grief.
You may think I am rotten and say that I'm a ponce,But I ran the water really hot, and burned him on the bonce,
He got his little legs and wrapped them round his head,To all intents and purposes, I thought that he was dead
,So I splashed him with listermint, flushed him down the drain,
Half an hour later, he was sitting there again!

Where did he go you have a right to ask, Did he sit beneath the plughole with a snorkel and a mask,
When I turned the tap on, sensing death, Did the little spider hold his breath.
Did he have an aqualung, and flippers on his feet,Someone must have noticed when he fell out in the street,
Did he wrap his legs round the bottom of the plug ,And sit there as the water went "glug glug glug.."
Here's two questions, home come he never drowned,And can you tell me how the little b'stards still around,

Yes I've got a sink where I always wash my cup,And I've got a sink where I throw up,
And in that sink I see him every day,A creepy crawly spider who won't go away
.I covered him with aftershave he didn't mind at all,In fact he says it helps him when he goes out on the pull
,I sprayed him with deodorant he didn't even cough,No matter what I do to him the spider won't shove off

.I'm feeling ill, I've had too much to drink...I hope for the little spiders sake, he's not sitting in my sink..

RIGHT mind? Who on earth is in that weird place? It was my right mind that got repaired a couple of years ago and I'm still only venturing back in there occasionally!
 
A loo roll orientation to keep everyone unhappy! :troll:

Ah, it's a case of picking it up, turning it so it's horizontal, 2 fingers through the tube then pulling down so....................over! :D

Unless of course you stick your fingers up the bottom (of the tube of course)
And then point it forward, then its an "under"

No need to Moose Google that one
Its there in plain sight (y)

All pumps automatically shut off, so how can you put too much in?

So why do the petrol stations remove the pin in the handle so you can't clean the screen while letting it fill up?

Im not sure why thats difficult to understand. ..

You squeeze trigger, tank fills up, when fuel reaches nozzle it shuts off. You can't put in too much. Simple. Only way is try trickle feeding it then it over flows, hence too much.
