My husband shopped around to buy toilet treatments in the same colour!

[WellVersedInEtiquette]

Today we had to go out to buy some bits. I needed to go into one of the budget stores and suggested to my husband that we get the cleaning products in the same place. He's never been in but spent ages wandering the aisles! He picked up some branded toilet cleaner but wouldn't by the toilet discs that go in the cistern because they were a different colour to the toilet duck! He went into a further two stores before finding the same colour.
I wasn't arsed and would have bought the first pack in a different colour.
What weirdness have you seen done in a similar vein or is he all alone in his oddness

You wouldn't even see the discs, they are in the bloody cistern!

Yeah but it changes the colour of the water in the toilet so you will see it!

I'm jealous the top of my toilet is too fiddly to keep taking off so I have to have plain water 😩

I can't believe the matching pegs...
I dont even wear matching socks most of the time! Would it upset people to know I dont even separate knives,forks and spoons into their gender slot in the drawer thingy? Just chuck them all in*

I have realised, over the years, whilst I really like you, there’s no fucking way I could live with you one of us would be murdered by nightfall!

Miss matched socks is fine as long as they’re the same type of socks. Mine are generally intentionally mid matched as a throwback to my youth!

I am very fussy about pegs, dishwashing liquid, etc. But I cannot stand matching ornaments (ornaments in general to be fair) or matching ‘stuff’ like a friend has in her kitchen matching blind, apron, tea towel, tea cosy etc. To ME that’s just too teee but I can peg out clothes with mismatched offs...go figure 🤯

Twee not tee and whatever else the bloody iPhone has changed!

@angelasashes, have you tried a red car?

There is a belief among old farmers over the pond that red pick ups last longer (may be true as there are some truly ancient ones still going around)

I'm not convinced my dh has ever picked up the toilet cleaner bottle even let alone get concerned about matching cleaning products.

I couldn't care less what colour the stuff is as long as it works. I buy the cruelty-free stuff, so as long as I can find that, I'm quit happy.

I'm the weird one obviously because I don't like cleaning products to have any colour

To me those garish colours and smells shout chemical shit storm and I'm almost peak Gwyneth purity

My very weird neighbours directly across from me, change the colour of their front door to match their car, every time they change it.
Wow! That's just beyond!

Love reading all these but feel like I might be a bit crap! I just buy whatever is on offer! I may make more of an effort now. (Probably not!)

You can only buy white toilet roll nowadays!

Reportedly, Simon Cowell uses black toilet paper. You can only buy white stuff in supermarkets and ordinary shops that we common folk shop in, but it seems that, if very rich folk want something, they can still get it!

Having said that, I think that if I had so much money that it caused me to even think to to seek out special exclusive VIP bog roll, I'd probably want to re-evaluate my life in general and give a shedload of my money to people who could spend it on more worthwhile things than I clearly could.

Is it just me, or does anybody else irrationally seethe if you use a staffed checkout and the assistant doesn't put things through in groups?

If I'm buying, say, 4 tins of beans, 4 separate pots of yoghurt and 4 bottles of fizzy water, I expect: beans, beans, beans, beans, yoghurt, yoghurt, yoghurt, yoghurt, water, water, water, water.

I will gladly accept a different order of the groups, but water, beans, yoghurt, beans, yoghurt, water, water, beans, yoghurt, yoghurt, water, beans just spoils it all. How am I meant to live with such conditions?! What am I meant to do with that?!

To anybody who claims that it's irrelevant and forgotten as soon as the shopping is bagged and taken away, the receipt will bear testament to the wrongness of it all and serve as a semi-permanent indictment of the guilty

I do the peg thing each item of clothing has to have the same colour of pegs and if it's girl clothing I must must must use the pink and purple pegs and if it's boy clothing I must must must use the green and blue pegs. I recon this adds at least 5 mins to the hanging out washing process

A lot of you need help!
I want to find glitter and rainbow accessories for my kitchen now because it would annoy loads of people and it would demonstrate my inability to adult.

I try to coordinate my shoes to match the colour of my top, obviously it doesn’t always work but I try!

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll I worked on checkouts in Safeway when I was a student and we used to deliberately put things through the till and muddle them up when the customer had obviously put them into some kind of orde (showing age here as it was pre-scanning!)

8 hours on a checkout was a long day, we had to amuse ourselves somehow 😂
