And then they…eat a Cornish pasty with a knife and fork.
25 years I’ve known them. Or thought I knew them.

Anyone discovered anything as dramatic as this about someone they thought was rock-solid 😂?

Like when someone with whom you've been getting on perfectly fine pronounces mischievous with an extra 'ee' sound before the 'ous' and you suddenly realise you hate them?

Visited long-married friends recently and discovered that HE slept on the left (when looking at headboard from foot) side of the bed, and HER on the right ....am considering ghosting them

Oh my god, we sleep the 'correct' way (me left, husband right) but I had no idea this was a thing!

My DH eats pizza with a knife and fork. Is that grounds for divorce?

Same here. I sleep nearest the window whenever we are. He gets the doorway.

TogetherInEclecticDreams · 11/08/2023 22:49

I'm a monster, sleeping soundly each night on the right...

Justleaveitblankthen · 11/08/2023 22:50

Eating with a knife and fork makes the bliss of eating last longer.

I eat Pizza with a knife and fork and desserts with a teaspoon 😁

UncleHerbie · 11/08/2023 22:54

I sleep on the right as I’m deaf in my right ear, and my husband sleeps on the left. That’s the correct way for us. I’m also closer to the door 😱

Bogeyes · 12/08/2023 04:57

An ex friend used to lick the butter knife after each slice of bread was buttered......that meant I hade eaten many sandwiches with their saliva on...yuk...

LimeDrizzled · 12/08/2023 05:02

What? This is a thing, husband sleeps on right, wife on left. Says who? Why? How did this come about?

I never get the having sides of the bed thing.

C1N1C · 12/08/2023 05:46

Is the bed thing like the road thing, where men are 'supposed' to walk on the pavement on the side closest to the traffic to protect the woman? In the bed, it's closest to the door for protection?... no idea, I'm just thinking out loud.

I mean, it's gross but don't you wash cutlery?

bladebladebla1 · 12/08/2023 06:18

I'm closest to door, I have to face it and not the window. So we sleep on wrong side but it's right to me

Im afraid we do this too, BUT its because many moons ago , when we had a boob fed infant the along side cot could only go on that side. After 10 months it sort of stuck.

UpsidedownCakes · 12/08/2023 06:38

went out for lunch and a few of us ordered a toasted sandwich, a friend offered me a knife and fork and I pointed to my plate and laughed and said it was a toastie! and they then went on to eat theirs with a knife and fork, never seen that before I thought it was very odd 😂
