And the ordering of knives, forks, spoons in the drawer. I mean that is it. Knives, forks, spoons. That is how you say it, that is how they are 'supposed' to go.
I often move them into the 'correct' order when I help people put away. I have never had anyone change it back. Sometimes I tell them after a few weeks I did that. Sometimes they didn't notice or care, but other times they say it is a much more logical order :-)
And the situation with the toilet paper is that if you buy printed toilet paper (which I don't like much) then it has to go that way up for the print to be on the right side. Maybe the rule is that printed toilet paper goes that way up, but no I think a generalisation is permitted.
This is carefully explained to people if they keep turning it up the other way. Some people don't buy it.
Maybe I am a bit OC...
But then the question is: if these things bug me, then why do I squeeze the toothpaste from the top? I have no idea...
