Really weird stuff people do that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

ive never washed meat and also never washed any fruit or vegetable or salad item ever. Cannot see the point. Will knock soil off if there is a bit in there but to be honest supermarket stuff doesn’t tend to have much on. Also eat raw carrots without peeling them.

also find having a washing up bowl very weird. They are really small and the actual sink is perfectly adequate and designed for washing up.

I think it’s ok to do odd things like put a remote in a bag as long as you realise it’s a bit odd (does sleeping in the hotel bed not bother her?) it’s when people do odd things but don’t realise it, like a friend of mine won’t let you dry your hands on a tea towel, apparently they’re only for dishes, so you’re supposed to walk from the kitchen to the loo to wash your hands if you’re cooking 🙄

Me too. I have read that it's safer to do this, especially overnight.

See a practical reason like that I can understand, but there’s no reason like that for it.

Three. I do it too. I turn the microwave and oven off at the wall so that there are no red lights winking away in the kitchen at night. It's not OCD, it's just habit.

Oh god - you two need to form an OCD support group with my mother 😂

I do this I thought everyone does

I do this every evening

I must admit that I used to do this too. I had a dog that would turn a bin over and go through the rubbish, but couldn't reach the bag I had suspended on a cupboard handle.

My mum switches the oven off at the wall - the big red switch that switches the electric supply to the oven.

In her defence, it relates to something from decades ago and she knows it’s superfluous, but she still does it.

My sil doesn’t have a kitchen bin!!

Instead she has a carrier bag hooked over a cupboard handle, fills it and then takes it to the bin, why that’s preferable to having even a small bin is beyond me.

This has never entered my head but I bet people do! I've got to stay in a travelodge next month, I'm now going to take my own kettle.

A family member came into a very substantial amount of money, a long time ago yet he chooses to live in absolute squalor.
Will not spend a penny, rather like Ebenezeer Scrooge type of person.
His money of course, but if it it makes you so miserable, why not donate it or something?

My SIL sprays every hard service & handles with antibacterial cleaner.

As for hotel remotes - does nobody wash their hands?

Too many people don't.

I used to pre-dilute squash and leave it in the fridge because my kids thought 50/50 squash to water ratios were reasonable and would go through a bottle in two days left to their own devices. They'd drink it made up all right though.

Sometimes I think people are so obsessed with germs that it must restrict their lives. Do they wear plastic gloves on public transport to avoid touching rails that might have been touched by someone who'd recently had a wank - or do they do the sensible thing of just washing their hands?
But then, I flush the loo with the seat up and have yet to catch anything (or even be ill as a result). I do wonder about people who complain about how 'rank' it is and how they always put the seat down. I don't go for a shit every time I sit on the loo, and refuse to worry about 'shit particles' flying around my bathroom!

I'm not a hygeine freak but I have put the remote in a bag before. It was a holiday apartment in Cardiff and the place was filthy. The remote was really grimey and I just couldn't bring myself to use it. I also cleaned the large balcony windows as they were filthy too and covered in greasy marks. I didn't want to spend a whole week thinking "yuck" every time I looked out of the window so it was well worth 20 mins of my time. I also washed the sheets as they were stained - and yes the stains came out in the wash

I wrote to the owner telling him I'd cleaned the windows and washed the sheets, hoping for at least an apology, he just thanked me 😄

Yep, I use them without a second thought but went away on a break with a friend once who remarked ‘’Eurgh, you don’t want to use the kettle, do you? Have you heard what people do in them?’’ 🤣

That stems from people living in countries where you buy the meat from an open market. My husband used to do this all the time because that's how he was brought up.

My inlaws have no kitchen bin. Any rubbish, recycling or food waste has to be taken to the outside bin after every meal. This is out through a back boot room, across a patch of grass, and into one of the garages. At least 3 times a day every day.

What's the problem with pre diluting squash?

I have to open and close door 7 times before I leave the house otherwise everyone I know will die

This. I think it's a good idea!

Even if they did wouldn't boiling water take care of that ? Still gross though

I saw a little girl with a big piece of snot on her nose today, her mum used her fingers to wipe it/pick it off THEN got a wipe from her bag to wipe her hands and the nose.
