Bizarre habitsSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "Until I pointed it out, my other half use to hang out the washing making sure that both pegs were the same colour. Now she goes out of her way to make sure they never match." Tell us about bizarre rituals, habits and OCD-like behaviour.

My family collects geological souvenirs.My dad has shelves and shelves of little jars of sand, labelled according to area and date collected. People - family members from further afield, mostly - send him little sand samples from all over the world for his collection.
We also have mantelpieces full of rocks, crystals and shells, as well as boxes of stone eggs and other carvings. There's a certain subset of these rocks that my dad is particularly proud of.
They're normal rocks, or they were at one point, but they're all flaky and crumbly. This because they've been swallowed at one time or another by various animals. The chemical transformations leave them softer and more delicate than they were. I know they're treasured, but I can't resist picking them to pieces. My dad detests this, but he collects and keeps the pieces anyway, so as a result we have a large number of Bezoar Bits in this household.
