Everybody’s a little bit OCD
Have you ever noticed how everyone is just a little bit OCD? I think it is so amusing to see how many people have “their own way” of doing things! I think that this is one of the reasons why so many married couples bicker! From how to load the dishwasher right to how to sort and wash and fold the laundry, to how the toilet tissue is supposed to be put on the roller, everyone has their very own way of doing things. And it is impossible to find someone who has the exact same “way” of doing those things!
Case in point – my mother always would rinse off dirty dishes and put them in the dish strainer – with the intent to wash them later! So I got in the habit of putting my dirty dishes in the dish strainer. Well, my wife only puts clean dishes in the dish strainer! Needless to say that there have been many discussions about how she doesn’t appreciate my putting dirty dishes on top of her clean ones! What’s a poor fella to do? My wife tells me to just leave the dirty dishes on the counter beside the sink, or inside the half of the sink that doesn’t have the strainer in it. But, I have to tell you, it is a hard habit to break!
