What's the most trivial thing you've been told you're doing "wrong"

[BruceAndNosh]

Apparently not using the entire individual hotel mini tub of marmalade to cover 2 slices of toast is "weird".
I like toast with a SMALL amount of marmalade - this makes me odd it seems

Walking about in bare feet is wrong.

Despite being a 50 year old grown up who can presumably make her own mind up about what she wears, I apparently still need to be told by strangers, invariably men, that I will hurt my feet.

My neighbour who lives opposite, a middle aged loud man, proceeded to tell my husband that I apparently cleaned our windows incorrectly…..

First time I was giving a Hand Job I was told I was doing it all wrong . I asked him to show me how, and the full demo. Watching that was a bigger turn on for me than doing it myself ... a good few other times I'd ask ... show me what to do

@Mrsjayy

I cut sandwiches wrong i cut horizontally Dd has to lie down after watching me, surely its square bread it makes no difference?

Urgh- DH cuts sliced bread sandwiches vertically, so you get two long skinny sandwiches- this is just wrong!

I also blow my nose wrong.

And wear my watch on the wrong wrist

My dad used to say I shopped wrong. Rather than start at the front at the fruit and veg I go to the last aisle and work my way back. That way the fruit and veg don't get squished at the bottom of the trolley. Makes perfect sense to me.
Wrong apparently

I can see your logic although I think most supermarkets are set out so you visit the frozen food/chilled section last, so they don't start defrosting while you continue shopping!

"Urgh- DH cuts sliced bread sandwiches vertically, so you get two long skinny sandwiches- this is just wrong!*

Oh I fear this a "thing"

Agh all you odd sandwich cutters that is most definitely something you are actually doing wrong! Plus most bread is rectangular not square!

Many years ago in a maths class. Apparently my "working out" was wrong....even though the answer was correct.

Turning the light on. DP told me I was too stabby with the rocker switch and it needs to be gently stroked into position.

How I didn't stab him, I don't know!

I was told, by one of those sport club organiser type women that are utter martyrs, how to cling film a bowl of salad and later how to rinse a plate I was washing up.

I was 48 years old at the time.

You know when you're so flabbergasted that you actually fail to react? It was like that.

Left handed? My dh is the same

Putting tin foil wrong side up whilst grilling bacon! Who knew?!

Same dh once told me I was pushing a supermarket trolley wrong.

This is despite me managing to complete the task weekly.

Unfortunately the ice in my glare stopped him explaining how to do it correctly so I fear my error continues to this day

Doesn't the shiny side reflect the heat better and so reduce cooking time?

Maybe you could get him to come over @ show you how it shows e done😉

I never zip up or close my handbags. Have never had any problems because of it in my 58 years on this planet. And yet I get older women pointing it out to me and warning of dire consequences.
I smile sweetly and say thank you despite wanting to tell them to F off and mind their own business.

My MIL explained to my Dh how to change a nappy. Dd was 1 at the time and Dh changed her first nappy!

A long ago ex told me I was embroidering wrong, and sewing on ready made edging was lazy(even though at the time I didn’t crochet). Yeah he couldn’t even thread a needle, but his dm didn’t do it like that.

I put the trolly the wrong way round at the Aldi checkout! I still panic now that I'm doing it wrong!

I quarter an orange wrong.

Yes I don’t blow my nose correctly either apparently, I’m too noisy and not efficient!

What happens to your bread? I always put the bread on top after everything else then do the freezer aisle. Sainsburys, Tesco and Morrisons are brilliant for this as they're in the correct order. Asda has the veg then the bread, then everything else before you get to the freezers, so your bread may or may not be a bit squished by the time you get to a checkout.🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh, and I walk wrong.
One foot in front of the other isn't good enough..?

This was on QI a while ago. There is no wrong side. They run 2 sheets of foil through at the same time to get them to the right thickness - I think dull sides together can't remember BUT it's identical on both sides, just one is polished.
