Druzba Oddities

I told Alisa I would follow along with the meme she borrowed from Erika so here is my list of 5 Weird Things I Do:

1. I check that the stove is off at random times.
I do this especially after using the stove but often randomly when I walk by it, even though I know I’ve already checked it before. When I’m leaving the house for an extended period, I will check it several times before. Needless to say, a stove fire caused by a burner that was left on is probably not in my future.

2. I don’t like the thought of plugs that are less that fully inserted into sockets.
Sometimes plugs can become loose in a socket. I am not comfortable leaving them like that and will go out of my way to make sure they are in. It is because of this that I unplug certain things when I go away on vacation.

3. When I come home from somewhere, I have a routine I like to follow.
I come home, take my wallet, keys, and watch out. I pick up the mail. I put stuff away that I brought into the house and take off my shoes. Sometimes I come home and have to go to the bathroom. Unless my bladder is at DEFCON 1, I’ll follow my routine regardless. Somehow, I find it rewarding if I am able to do so.

4. I fear losing my wallet and keys.
Because of this, I always check that I have my wallet and keys, by pressing my hand over where they go, when I get in the car from anywhere. I have never lost my wallet or keys.

5. I don’t trust the auto-shutoff feature of appliances.
Because of this, I always unplug things like irons, curling irons, griddles, etc.
