Hubby cares much more about those things than I do, so I do it his way. And he leaves my books and desk alone, though he will hint about what he perceives as terrible organization. Only took ten years to convince him that Her Desk Is Off Limits.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My BFF and I had the Which Way Does the Toilet Paper Come Off the Roll? conversation, and to my surprise we did not agree.
Of all the things I'm incredibly anal about (c.f., The Sheets Should Be TIGHT), I have zero opinion about which way the toilet paper should hang, so I'm sure I've always just put the new roll on whichever way I grabbed it.
After 4 years of living with Tim, I asked him which way he preferred, and I -- hand to god -- made a Word file on my computer in my Important Files folder named "Tim's Toilet Paper Preference." (Over, for the record.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"Over" is of course correct.
I have no opinion on how the bed should be made. Left up to me, it generally isn't. Don't see the point.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Over" is of course correct.
Exactly so. And I accused JZ of trying to gaslight me by going under.

I know one of my potentially annoying habits is that I leave kitchen cabinets open a lot. I didn't even know I did it until it was (kindly) pointed out to me. I am just really, really unobservant about many things.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My only opinion regarding the toilet paper is if you use up the roll, you put on a new one, but I don't care which way you do it.

Potentially deadly! My face is the same height as my upper cabinets. I slammed my head into a cabinet door I left open once, and boy, that lesson stuck.

I am Burrell in this. I also don't share a bathroom with anyone, so it is all on me.

I vote TP over, cabinets closed, and glasses whichever way you want them (I usually do them right side up, but understand the turned over way...)
Oh, and if you make the bed, sweet. But don't tuck all the sheets tightly in, because that's where my feet go, and it's uncomfortable when you have to fight the sheets to not be squishing your feet. Also, I often like to stick my feet out from the sheets, so...
