GTKY: Things that make you go hmmmmm

[momtex]

Does the toilet paper go over or under in your house?

When you buy bananas, do you put them in a bag or just put the bunch in your shopping cart?

What is something you do that others might think is weird?

[momtex]

Does the toilet paper go over or under in your house? Over. It drives me nuts when it's under.

When you buy bananas, do you put them in a bag or just put the bunch in your shopping cart? I just throw them in the cart.

What is something you do that others might think is weird? I spell words in my head. Like I picture a keyboard and "type" out the words in my head.

[lickwed]

Our toilet paper is over and bananas go in bags to prevent bruising.

I use lots and lots of ketchup. Think 7 packages worth for fast food burger and fries.

[Divefrog]

Toilet paper is under in our house. DH likes it this way, and I don't have a preference. Bananas are not generally bagged, but sometimes are.

We don't heat our bedroom and sleep with at least 2-3fans running and our windows at least cracked open no matter the time of year or temperature outside. We also sleep with separate top sheets, blankets & comforters.

Does the toilet paper go over or under in your house? - Over

When you buy bananas, do you put them in a bag or just put the bunch in your shopping cart? - In the shopping cart

What is something you do that others might think is weird? - I hate olives but I love olive oil.

[wannabmama]

Over
Usually bags but not always...I'm wild like that.
I have to drink things out of the "right" glass/cup, putting something like orange juice in a mug would make me insane.

[agpjt413]

Over

Oh in bags...definitely!

And some of the ladies that are on this board that crossover with CAL know this about me: I create grocery lists based on the layout of which store I'm going to. This eliminates walking up or down an aisle more than once. Also, when appliance shopping (so far for ovens and refrigerators), I bring props LOL! Its difficult to gauge if what I have at home will fit into something that's on the floor. So I brought a couple of cookie sheets with me when I was oven shopping and brought empty cartons of 1/2 & 1/2, jug of milk, bottle of soda and some empty condiment containers (mayo, mustard). Some shelves are made to fit a 1 liter bottle and not 2 or it's too narrow to fit a big bottle of mayo, etc.

[agpjt413]

luvmyponies - I'm with you on olives - yuck! But LOVE olive oil!!

lickwed - I LOOOOOOVE ketchup!!!

wannabmama - Yes!! I'm not a 19 y.o. college kid so I can't stand drinking beverages not in their appropriate "housing."

[Divefrog]

I totally agree wannabmama & agpjt413, regarding appropriate beverage vessels. Mugs are only for hot beverages! I detest drinking beverages out of cans or bottles, unless at the beach/camping/picnic/in the car. Otherwise they should go into a glass and preferably always with ice. Even if it's already cold and came out of the fridge, unless it is alcoholic it should be served on ice.

[zombiesquad]

agpjt413, I make my grocery lists like that, too. It makes shopping more efficient for me.

Over.
I usually don't bag my bananas.
I eat the edges of round waffles first, creating a square. Then I cut and eat in rows. No idea why. And why don't I just buy square waffles? Eggo doesn't make square waffles.

[scorpioscuba]

Oh boy - all you overs might reject me. Sometimes its over, sometimes its under. The TP is whatever way it ends up when I put it on the holder!

I just throw the bananas in the cart.

I divide numbers up in my head until I can't go any further. Usually the clock in the car when I'm bored. If it says 8:24 I'll keep dividing, 4:12, 2:06, 1:03.....

lickwed, me too! My husband always asks me, "Do you want fries with your ketchup?"

[agpjt413]

Yes, zombiesquad!! Get in, get out right?! I can do a solo Costco run in about 20 min flat! Well, on a weekday, anyway! MH has to walk down every single aisle!

This is how my mom is.  I always change it to over when I'm at her house.  I don't think she even notices.

That's a good idea!  We have the tiniest oven.  It's really pretty and placed in a brick wall in our kitchen but it's tiny.  I didn't consider this when registering for wedding gifts.  Half of my cookie sheets don't fit it in.  And don't get me started on the "Thanksgiving that almost didn't happen" because I wasn't sure if the turkey was going to fit in the oven.

"Appropriate beverage vessels" made me laugh!  

[agpjt413]

It totally helps, momtex!! We had our eye on this oven and we were so scared our trays, casserole dishes, etc wouldn't fit. Turns out that not only does it fit but there's actually more room!! Your kitchen sounds so cute!! Our house is older and buying new appliances become challenging b/c of limited space as well. We haven't gotten a new fridge yet (current one is from 1989!! but still working great, only the ice maker is busted), but there's never one "our" size that's a floor model. Luckily they have them online but I want to see in person what it looks like in the size we need!

Soooo...how'd you guys end up cooking the turkey? We've been deep frying it for years - so much tastier and don't have to worry about the oven!

Our house was built in 1960 so most of the kitchen is still original.  I love the older style!  I don't think the oven is original  but it was there when we bought the house.  The turkey did end up going in the oven but just barely.   It was the night before and my SIL was like "are you sure that's going to fit?"  We had to go buy a roasting pan but it worked.  That was the one and only Thanksgiving we hosted.  It was so stressful and there were way too many opinions going on in my house about the food.

Toilet paper: under. Under! The resistance from pulling it up from under the hanging roll is what breaks it off at the length you need. Sheesh, people.
Bananas: Bag. Which is weird since we're always in a hurry to get them out of the bag once we get home so they don't stew in their own ethylene and turn brown.
Weird behavior: I'm superstitious, and a lot of them are weird superstitions normal people haven't heard of (e.g. "if you sing before breakfast, you'll cry before dinner.")

zombiesquad, I wish I could get my shopping organized like that. That's awesome!

Try it. It will change your life

[lickwed]

scorpioscuba That is what everyone asks me as well.

[rnmommy]

Under.

Bananas aren't bagged unless we buy them from Costco where they come in a bag, but they're removed immediately when we get home.

Something weird about me? I don't eat beef. I haven't since I was 13 or 14. Just the smell of it cooking gags me - especially when I'm pregnant.

[wirt2cute]

Does the toilet paper go over or under in your house? One is over and one is under. We have two holders in my bathroom. I can't reach the one in front of the toilet so I bought on that stands up right beside the toilet and has the extra toilet tissue bottom thing.

When you buy bananas, do you put them in a bag or just put the bunch in your shopping cart? I just put the bunch in my cart.

What is something you do that others might think is weird? I used to eat mayo and ketchup on my french fries, and that would weird people out.

tiresiastheblond, I'm pretty superstitious as well. I don't split the pole while walking with people, if you sweep my feet I have to spit at the broom, I won't put my purse on the floor, and there are more but people might think in weird.

scorpioscuba, math is not my strong suit so I was really having to think about your division problem.

zombiesquad, are you and my youngest friends, his waffle has to be cut a certain way or he will bite it into a shape.

lickwed, you and my H are friends. We go through so much ketchup I have to buy and extra one and hide it in the pantry. If he knew it was there it would be gone in 2 days.

[zombiesquad]

Is it a guy thing? My H hates tomatoes, but literally gets a full bowl of ketchup for dipping.

[muscari]

Toilet paper goes over in our house, I just can't stand it any other way LOL. Sometimes the hubs changes a new roll and does it 'under' and I just have to change it

Usually unbagged, unless we get our groceries home delivered, then they come packaged in a plastic bag.

As for something weird.. I was reading all of your thingies and kept thinking "I do that" or "I'm like that, too" etc so either we're all weird or things aren't as weird as we think they are?!

If it is, then, I'm totally a dude!! MH barely uses any ketchup but he teases me saying I "suck it from the teet!"

I used to suck the ketchup from leftover packets (SMH).

Soulmates...

[URMySunshine77]

I have to put the toilet paper over. If DH places it under, I automatically turn it around.

I put the bunch of bananas in the shopping cart, but I still feel unsettled by all of the germs on it.

wirt2cute, My mom used to make that ketchup and mayo dip for us when we ate broccoli!

I like honey in my cottage cheese and peanut butter in my oatmeal. Those aren't too weird. 

[wannabmama]

URMySunshine77 peanut butter in oatmeal is the best!
