It dawned on me this morning that I always put my right sock on before my left, but bizarrely put my left shoe on before my right. It's not an OCD thing, but if I deliberately try to put my right shoe on first it feels odd. Bit weird.
Similarly, I put both socks on, but to put a sock and then a shoe on, leaving a foot with no sock or shoe would be totally wrong. Do people/can people really do that? Having a sock and shoe on leaving one foot bare? Wrong 'uns if they do.

Haha, I'm exactly the same, you're right it does feel weird.I'm now starting to do things with the other hand, foot, whatever, just to get that weird feeling.
I'm running out of things to try!
I had a few hours to kill this evening and I ended up watching WWE wrestling as it was on TV.
I realised I've really outgrown the genre (is it technically a sport?) when I was watching two men slapping the furniture, an announcer saying they were the best athletes in the world, culminating in dropping someone on their back through a cardboard table saying "OH MY GOD A SAMOAN DROP THROUGH A TABLE HE MAY BE KNOCKED OUT!"
Edit: as I wrote this the crowd started shouting "USA USA USA" and another cardboard table went pop, to "OH MY GOD A SAMOAN DROP THROUGH ANOTHER TABLE!"
I assume the days of Stone Cold and the Undertaker are long gone and this stuff is now for kids?
Edit 2: Now there are some random blokes entering the match throwing fake punches at each other. "THIS IS JUST CHAOS. THIS IS A STREET FIGHT"
I can understand why kids are so angry these days if this rubbish is what they have to grow up with.

I realised today that a 'provider' is pulling my chain...and to never pay anything in advance.
In October, I asked a local lad to returf and reseed two balding/slipped areas on the grassy bank behind my house.
He replied (in awfully spelt English) that he'd get the turf and this and his time would be £62 so I fronted it up.
This was over 3 months ago and he's done nothing but for sending excuses, 'Trouble with his appendices' [sic]
and not replying. So I've given him a choice: refund in full in the next two weeks or the whole tale goes on Facebook,
with pictures, dates and quoted messages,for his customer base to enjoy.

I watched a few Youtube videos recently of the Ultimate Warrior in WWF days, particularly one of his bouts with Hulk Hogan at an old Wrestlemania. The crowd was insane, nearly brought the place down when they faced off. Don't see that level of excitement these days in WWE
