Coffee is made cream last, instead of intelligently putting in creamer before I pour the coffee. Which basically means I dirty more spoons.
Sugar first, then coffee, then cream. I use raw sugar, the heat of the coffee makes it dissolve better. Cream last.

I annoy my cat (and, by proxy, my wife) by singing to it. 95% of the time it's popular songs with just many words substituted with "meow" or "kitty."
I not only do this to my cats, I did it to my child. I had entire songs written. You know the Depeche Mode song 'Somebody'? My son's lullaby was that, only it was "I want this baby to sleep" instead of "I want somebody to share"

When I get hungry, I get cranky. Yeah, everyone thinks they get this way. No, this is something that is genetic in that when my blood sugar gets low my irritability levels skyrocket. I am normally a very laid-back and passive guy but if I feel like I am being kept from food, it's like Mr. Hyde comes out. I do a lot to contain it, but my brother lets it lash out a lot more.
My family calls it 'food fade', we all have blood sugar issues. And 'cranky' doesn't begin to cover it, 'irrationally confrontational' is a little more accurate. I've learned (and taught Shel) to avoid emotional discussions before meals.

I remember this! Made me crazy, I can't sit with my back to a door. And Shel can't sit with his back to a room. Seating arrangements will be fun when you visit (which is when?).
