For the ultimate PB&J, which is on purpose a sticky, gooey mess.

Make your favorite PBJ sandwich, scramble an egg in a bowl, drop sandwich into bowl of egg and flip, then fry sandwich in a skillet ala french toast. Don't bother with syrup. Eat. The heat makes the fixin's gooey and runny, so you've got to eat it with a fork, but man is it yummy that way.

You guys are all kind of OCD. I may brush my teeth, make my sandwichs, and shave in a certain order (that has been determined over 51 years to be the most efficient), but I certainly don't obsess over it.

I know alot of you line your wall socket screws so they are all horizontal, and only eat like colored M&Ms...of course after sorting them into equal piles. Do any of you have to knock 3 separate times on the door like Sheldon Cooper does, or switch your light switches on/off several times before leaving the house ?

I'm worse. I orient my bread to maintain the loaf slices symmetry. BUT don't like PBJ. Peanut butter and bologna yes, PBJ no.

Also always try to keep hamburger buns oriented top and bottom correctly. However, put the burger on the top of the bun, put the bottom on top and squeeze so all the juice from the burger soaks into the top bun, then disassemble and start with bottom bun mayo, meat, cheese, toppings, then top bun.

WTH are you guys talking about. I've never done any of this. Drives my wife crazy, since she's one of those people who won't let the food on her plate touch each other. When I was in the Army decades ago and go through the chow line, I'd tell them to "pile it on top" and then mix it up when I got to the table. That drove the other guys crazy too.

Been some goofy-ass threads on this forum over the years ...

But now that I think of it, I gots me some issues, too.

This is to ensure that when reassembled the resulting sandwich will retain symmetry.

When I make PBJ's I always put the peanut butter on the right hand slice, never the left. I don't know why, I just do.

I noticed it today when I nearly used the left hand slice and it just felt wrong.

Interesting - I make the PBnJ sandwich by spreading PB on 1/2 of a piece of bread, then the jelly on top and then fold it. The result is a sandwich that you don't have to cut, fits in sandwich bags if needed and doesn't get messy if packed. I make all sandwiches like this. Reduces the cutting step, allows for multiple sandwiches to be made. Say your hungry but not 2 full sandwich hungry then this is a perfect application.

I once ate my burger holding it upside down. Felt so wrong

Yep OCD...

Of course I have right and left socks kept in seperate drawers.

I don't obsess over it and some of mine that I've never touched are caddywhompus, but yes, if I screw then in, they are verticle....horrizontal is just nuts

Not cutting the sandwich in half eliminates the cutting step AND the folding step.

Plus, who knows how hungry you're gonna be when you pack a lunch?

I think you're trolling just to make trouble.

Plus, the jelly-ooze can be greatly reduced by eating all around the edge of a sandwich in small bites first, gently pressing the carapace and plastron together to form a seal.

Really like the PBJ's, but the ultimate in gooey mess and taste sensation is PBFT.

That's right French toast with peanut butter and maple syrup. Oh Yeah!

In HS we'd mix everything from the slop line left over in a pile, and dare the others to eat it.
Throw in a buck per on the table when it became too odd of a mixture.
Someone did it. Myself included.

all of these behaviors are governed by deterministic chaos theory... google it...... its randomness influenced by very slight perturbations of the system .........

Me too. But I'm in the magazine business so it comes with the territory.

Every week I go to the same pizza place once a week, order the same order of 2 pepperoni slices and a soda, pay the same $8.61 with a $10 bill and leave the coins as a tip, sit at the same table if possible, while separating my newspaper to read and setting out 2 napkins. When the plate arrives I cut the tips off the two slices, then enough more to make 4 more small pieces. I then eat said pieces with a fork while reading the newspaper. Then, I read the rest while eating the remaining slice-parts with my hands.


I like pizza from there. I don't go on the same day of the week, and sometimes I don't go at all. I often have a $10 in my pocket, and I like to pay for lunch with cash to keep track of it. I pick that table because it's the smallest one so I'm not taking valuable 4-top tables from other customers, AND it affords a view of the parking lot which seems important since that same parking lot was the site of a murder once while I say facing *away* from the parking lot, and I don't want my back to any future murders...
I cut 6 pieces off and eat with a fork because I know that the pizza takes about that long to cool to "hand hold" temps, and I read the local paper because I like to learn about local stuff. Oh, 2 napkins is normally enough to finish the meal, might as well have them both handy right away.

All of that makes perfect normal sense, unless you only knew me from seeing me do this whole OCD ordeal for lunch. If you only knew me from the pizza place, you'd think I was Rain Man, but in fact I'm just a pragmatist.
