I'm not allowed to bring the bins from the curb because I don't put them back properly (but I get 'in trouble' when I don't ). I always used to put them back crooked or not aligned.<br /><br />I also don't stack the dishes 'correctly'. And I put the milk back in the fridge 'wrong' (the spout needs to be facing the front..I just put it in however I was holding it). And he has bought the same brand things since as long as I can remember - a few weeks ago our neighbour was going to the shops so kindly stopped by to see if there was anything we wanted her to pick up. Dad took up the offer and asked if she could get bread and milk. She brought back completely different brands and Dad had a complete freak out.<br /><br />The other thing that really annoys me is his obsession with light switches. In some rooms we have the switches at both doors...eg the hallway, there is a switch at each end so you can turn it on/off at both. Dad likes them to be 'correct'. i.e if the light is off, the switch is up, and if the light is on, the switch is down. (He chooses which one he sees as the "main" switch to reflect the light). In Mum and Dads room there is a light switch at the door and one above the bed...so you turn the light on as you go in, and off once you're in bed.... so he will set up in advance so that the switches will go back to how he wants them once in bed.<br /><br />At one point or another they are going to be not how he wants them...so whats the freakin difference when that is!?!<br /><br />*sigh*Krystlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07052432656301876018noreply@blogger.com
