to eat a pea because I feel sorry for it.

[SlightlyJaded]

I have just eaten a cherry tomato that I didn't really want (last one, bit bruised and squishy) because I 'felt sorry for it' and thought it would be sad if it didn't get eaten like it's friends...

I often do this with peas as well.

And other small pieces of food

I try to tell myself that it's ridiculous "Jaded it's just food, it doesn't have feelings FFS"

But still I find myself adding the manky mushroom to the risotto so it doesn't feel left out.

Anyone?

cutlery in the drawer. if one item is the wrong way up it will lonely. i can either put a new one in the same way to keep it company or turn it round. turning is kinder but adding extra is braver.

I am well known amongst my friends to personify pretty well anything. And I am nice to them all.

Rescuing worms off the pavement after it rains? It can be quite time consuming....

I rescue worms from the path, and snails. I've crossed the road to move a snail spotted on the opposite pavement.

But at least they are 'living creatures' tatty and Coumarin

I have just baked a banana loaf when it was the last thing I wanted to do, not because the bananas were going mushy and black even though they were, not to be frugal, but so the bananas could fulfil their destiny of being eaten.

They managed to survive the growing bit, shine during the selection process, not get lost en route etc, they made it to the supermarket, were personally selected in time to avoid losing out to 'best before' and sat quietly on the kitchen table not making a fuss, even though they were broadly ignored in favour of biscuits.

Only to live in fear of being binned because they had grown old and lost their looks.

So damn it, they deserve to be eaten and now they will. I told them that being used as a bakery ingredient was superior to boring old 'peel and eat' as well.

You see that makes perfect sense to me. You are my people.

And now want banana bread.

Respect Slightly.

And I thought it was just me
As you were

I had to give the cooker a couple of secret consoling strokes after DP had stood right in front of it saying it was a rubbish cooker.

He uses the same cup all the time. I have to keep using different ones so none of them feel rejected or left out.

I part-exed a very old car I'd owned for abut 10 years at a garage for a replacement car. It was a pile of shit by then to be honest, I knew what was going to happen to it, but god I felt like a murderer when I drove off in new car and saw poor little old car all sad behind a chainlink fence with all the other old cars that would be going for scrap. It was AWFUL. It looked so sad. Such a betrayal. I could feel it watching me drive off. To add insult to injury, replacement car was the same type of car. Traded in for a younger model...and abandoned at the car knackers yard.

DP thinks I'm nuts.

...the cooker was last night.

I do stuff like this all the time.

I have my very old (failed MOT) car on the drive and can't quite bear to part with it, because it has served me well and I feel disloyal
