    Gosh! Reading through this thread I realise I'm more fussy than I thought! I agree with loads on here.

    See, I wouldn’t get away with being fussy. I would be called irritating, awkward, difficult. I am already moaned at needlessly by family and strangers alike for just the mere fact of existing so if I started complaining about the wrong sort of texture cream on my cake or vociferously telling waiters that they should be using free trade coffee I’d be finished. Some of us don’t have the luxury of being even allowed to be fussy.

    Slippers. No mules. Must have thick soles.
    Pyjamas. No cartoon characters or writing on the front. No buttons. No vest tops. No silky material. Nothing that needs ironed.
    Beans. Heinz only.

    Toilet rolls - there must be a straight break along perforations. If someone uses our loo and leaves a ragged edge on the roll, I fume silently.

    I'm fussy about women, i.e. I would like my preferred women to be intelligent. I have no time for stupid people in general. Age gap within reason isn't a problem, nor is race, creed, colour etc.

    When out shopping l make a point of looking at the ingredients and nutritional information on food labels. I'm really fussy about anything artificial such as colouring and flavouring in the food I consume and avoid it, and also the amount of fat contained therein.

    I'm really fussy about keeping crumbs out of the tub.
    The OH insists the correct way is to begin at one end and slowly work your way across, so it stays nice and tidy.

    Oh yes! I can relate to this one, but living alone I only have myself to blame. I have to keep pulling more sheets off until I get it right.

    Jeans, must be the right length [ obviously ] , traditional design, non-stretchy, 100 % cotton, metal rivets, zip fly, none of your high or low waisters, but more importantly, MUST be a tapered fit to a 14 inch hem.

    I'm not what to say to that in all honestly, but you appear to be a decent poster.

    Yep, I do this, but if I get some surplus on my knife, it ruins everything. Do you scrape it off on the lip of the tub to reuse next time round, and when it comes to next time round you dont really want a crumb filled clump of marg on your toast/bread. And its a waste to put it in the bin

    I'm an intolerant cow: if people do things in a way other than the way that I would do them, then it's wrong.

    You'd like me then, as I tend to go against the flow in just about everything in life.

    My tea (cup of).

    My food - it has to be free range meat, and free range, organic dairy.

    Audio speakers.

    Clean shoes and boots. I hate seeing dirty, scuffed footwear.

    Me too! I never, ever accept an offer of a cup of tea, anywhere. It has to be made properly in a pot and brewed for at least 8 minutes.

    Food, I always buy organic- never buy processed- make my own bread, sausage etc

    Clean shoes- I was brought up being told 'that you really can judge a person by their shoes'.

    Speakers- they have to be exactly centered.

    Crockery. I have a slight 'thing' for needing to use my own plate / mug etc ... I have my own mug at work and I couldn't use the plates or cutlery there as I haven't cleaned them, therefore I don't know if they are clean enough.

    Also - if I go to my parents for dinner and have a second helping of something like pudding, I need a clean plate, spoon etc ...

    Colours matching. I can't wear more than 3 colours in an outfit and that includes shoes/bags. Started when I was a kid like an OCD thing (my mum is the same) and it gets really bad around times of anxiety.

    The only benefit is that I don't spend much on clothes as I have a capsule wardrobe of mainly black, red, blue and grey!

    I'm like this with my children though which is bad but at least their clothes match!!

    I am getting more fussy on wine. Shame because there was a time I was happy to drink the really cheap stuff. Now I cant stomach it.

    I am also really fussy with weighing myself every morning and evening. It drives me mad to not have working scales.

    The only thing that I'm fussy about is making sure DVDs and CDs go back into their cases. I hate it when people just dump them on top of the DVD/CD player or next to the TV.

    When my lodger doesn't bother to shut the kitchen door and switch the extractor fan on when cooking. Especially like the other night, eleven forty five and the whole house stinks of garlic chicken.

    Shopping and the way it's packed. And what goes into what bag (as I always bring my own bags). When I'm with my mum I have to hold myself back. Why would you put cereal boxes in a massive heavy duty bags. Makes no sense to me.

    Use the surplus. I also have to have an even layer of butter. Have even stopped him from buttering bread so I know the tub is tidy.
