I'm one of those saddos who gets irrationally annoyed if someone punches my elephant work mug!

suckingonchillidogs · 11/08/2021 17:41

Pinches it even - they're dead if they punch it!!

Another one with a favourite mug. It's a metal mug that's now nearly 20 years old. Dented and scratched to bits. My kids call it my prison mug lol. Can't drink my coffee out of anything else!

HotHointheavo · 11/08/2021 17:46

Favourite mug, knife and possibly most random of all Service Station!

Foods on certain days of the week (not all foods, but something like pizza or takeaway is best on a Friday or Saturday)

MummyInTheNecropolis · 11/08/2021 18:01

I have a favourite seat on the bus and get annoyed if it’s already taken. I also have a favourite spoon and a favourite glass to drink water from.

CrazyOldBagLady · 11/08/2021 18:02

I have some very nice tongs.

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 11/08/2021 18:11

So glad it's not just me. I have a favourite:

Mug (when I broke it I spent more time and money than I care to admit on the internet to find a duplicate)

Sofa (rest of family move from 'my' space on that sofa if I come in and they're sitting on it)

Duvet cover

Bra

The list could go on...

Oh god yes, a takeaway on any other evening feels very wrong! 😁

I have a favourite spot on the sofa so the kids call me Sheldon after the character in Big Bang Theory as he also has a favourite sofa spot. I also have a favourite hob ring and mug.

MouseholeCat · 11/08/2021 18:45

My husband randomly fashioned me a mini elephant out of blu tack when we were dating. I kept it and it's still in my jewelry box 10 years later.

I'm always happier on the days where my good mug is available in the cupboard for my morning coffee.

I also love my huge insulated water bottle, it's my constant companion.

samlovesdilys · 11/08/2021 18:50

I have favourite everything!! Spoon, mug, knickers, blanket...but especially toilet cubicle at work!!! They are all the same but the one on the left is just the best one!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

VioletCharlotte · 11/08/2021 18:51

Yes, so many! Knickers, socks, mug, duvet cover, glass, towel...

A tall, narrow glass tumbler that is exactly the right size and shape, and feels perfect in the hand. They are common in Spain, have not been able to find their like anywhere else. I have one, forgot how I got it, dread breaking it as I shall not be able to replace it. Unless I go to Spain.
