I'd seek professional help there Estreeter.

On another note Seany 65 said.

David Cameron thinks you can have sex and bacon at the same time...

I wonder if he has ever met any Boro lasses?

But

I'm just being the VEF community spirited Mod, I enjoy spreading a positive attitude

Besides, I'd only seek help from Max

He'd just end up telling me I'm either beyond help or don't need help at all

Santee needs help

Worse than ES? I cut glazed doughnoughts through their thickness and eat them inside out/upside down so the good stuff is in the middle. I love them but they love me even more, turning to concrete in my guts.
On a similar note, my friend worked in a bakers responsible for cooking round donuts. There is a time to let them prove or rise before cooking and he would delay this so the bastards got as big as grapefruits. The jam filler girl played along and pumped about half a pound of jam into them. One bite means a clean shirt.

1. Despite being right-handed, I have always eaten with my fork in my right hand, not the left as is usual. I have a right-handed nephew who also does this.

2. I always wear two pairs of socks - two thin pairs in summer and a thin inner/thick outer sock in winter. Goes back to having broken several toes in a childhood accident and needing a bit more cushioning and warmth.

Once a year I will go to the supermarket get the Nestle chocolate chips bag and go and get all the ingredients on the back to make chocolate chip cookies. I go home make the cookies and never bake one, ever never! In fact I have never have any intention of baking them.

I eat the cookie dough raw and without the damn chocolate chips I bought in the first place. I don't eat it at once, putting it in the fridge with foil over it and snack on it over days; though I never eat the entire thing. When I have had enough I fill the bowl with hot water
and basically dissolve what I didn't eat and wash it down the drain.

Reminds me of what comedian Steven Wright said in a routine about socks

-My girlfriend said "You're wearing 2 different socks"

- I don't go by colour, I go by thickness

Actually, that's an old rambler's trick (an old trick that is, not always an old rambler like me). The extra layer reduces friction & the chance of blisters.

As for my own unusual habits, pretty mild really compared to some of you weirdos:

1 - I add salt to coffee - just a pinch to counteract the bitterness but I get some strange looks if I tell anyone. Try it sometime, you'll be surprised at the difference.

2 - I like sprouts. There, I've said it. only 11 more steps to go.

1 - Is that a US Navy thing? It's mentioned in a couple of Tom Clancy books.

2 - Sprouts are delicous.

Years ago my boss added two spoonfuls of salt instead of sugar to his coffee; I just had to try it. Don't.

1 - It could very well be but I'm British so I wouldn't know

2 - Absolutely, I can't understand why they get such a bad reputation. I can't stand carrots & people say that's weird.

OK, that is weird - literally just a pinch is all that's needed. Just one or two quick shakes from a standard salt shaker smooths the flavour wonderfully. And, of course, don't use boiling water, anything above about 97 degrees & the alkaloids start brewing out & that's what makes coffee bitter.

As you might have guessed, I take my coffee very seriously.
