I always rinse out a cup I take from out of the cupboard or off the shelf; even if I know it’s clean.  I always get weird looks when I do this, whether at my own house or somebody else’s.  If it’s at my own house, people will ask “what those dishes aren’t clean” or “why didn’t you do that for my glass?”  If I’m at somebody else’s house, they’ll say something like “you know those dishes are clean, right?” or “what, you don’t think I know how to properly clean a dish?” 

It’s not so much about the dish not having been properly cleaned, it’s about dust (and to a lesser extent bugs).  I just feel like dust can be floating through the cabinets still and get in the cups (even if the glass is stored upside down).  Some dishes sit in the cabinet for a long time.  And no matter how clean the house is, eventually I’ll see a bug in the kitchen, and who knows where that thing has crawled, it could have crawled in the cabinets and on the shelves.

So I always rinse out my cups/glasses before I use it, yet I don’t do this with other dishes/utensils though, (but if possible I never take from the top plate or bowl on the shelf (when they’re stacked) if I can avoid it, because of the dust thing.

Normal or weird?  (I know this is weird, but am I alone?).

This one is about my girlfriend, and I thought it was extremely weird when I saw her do it.

When she eats regular cereal (like cheerios or frosted flakes).  She takes the milk out of the fridge and then proceeds to warm up the milk in the microwave (and not just a little bit, she makes it hot) and then eats her cereal with warm milk.  While she’s not a big milk drinker, it’s not like she drinks warm milk, she just warms it up for her cereal.  I thought this was so strange and disgusting.  

So is this normal or weird?

That's how I like my cereal too. With hot milk.

Also, I can't drink milk without adding some sugar. It has to be a little sweet and hot.

First of all, I want it known that I absolutely, positively, 100% normal!

However, my family thinks it is weird that I won't eat pie.  I will eat pie crust, and I will eat the filling separately, but put the filling into the crust and I won't eat it.  That goes for dessert pies and meat pies both.  I have no idea where this infantile action came from...it just is.

I've been living in my current home for 7 years.  There are two bathrooms (one upstairs and one downstairs).  For whatever reason I have never used the upstairs bathroom to poop.  Peeing upstairs:  NO PROBLEMO!  But I've never felt right pooping up there. 

After a couple of years w/o pooping up there I became superstitious of having never pooped up there, and not wanting to break the "streak". 

Once, during an emergency situation when the downstairs toilet was being used already, I tried pooping up there but could not. 

Mind over matter?
