I have issues
 
When I make sandwiches I take two pieces of bread and place them on the counter in a stack, then I flip the top slice left like opening a book.

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.

I like the orientation of the slices to stay the same too. If you were eating something like Wonderbread that's perfectly uniform throughout, it wouldn't much matter, but with many modern breads that have more variation of shape, it's nice to have the orientation stay the same. I don't go so far as always placing the toppings on one side or the other.

Here's a question for you. When you put on socks and shoes, do you always put the same foot on first? If you start to pay attention to how your doing it, will that affect how you do it?

Steve - you're a dick.
Now I can't put on my frickin' shoes tomorrow without thinking about it. :mad:

You're obviously correct, but when you reassemble do you flip the jelly slice right, or the PB slice left?

I flip PB over to jelly because then there's less chance of jelly on the counter.

Then, flip the assembled sandwich upside down. PB layer on the bottom slice of the assembled sandwich gives less likelihood of a soggy bottom slice.

You are risk-adverse and doing it right.
Don't let anyone tell ya otherwise.

Remember back when you once made a nice fat sandwich using big and small pieces of bread?
Then you turned it over to take a bite and...all the contents dropped on the floor.
What a mess.

Yeah that thing.

Naw, I don't have a first foot preference, but it's always sock, shoe, sock shoe.

Sock, sock, shoe, shoe is just soooo eff'ing wrong :(

And yes, a growed azz man eatin' PBJs has issues :)

....but a 'nanner sammich is OK....NO PB!!!

Use squeeze jelly.

That way you can create berms on the PB side and fill it with jelly to limit leakage.

You guys are doing it all wrong. Scoop some pb into a bowl, add some jelly and stir. Then apply to bread, just like buttering toast. This way, the taste is uniform.

Here's some things to ponder:
You probably shave in a certain pattern.
You probably brush your teeth in a certain pattern.

We are creatures of habit.

Always the right side slice for PB. I do put the strawberry preserves on top of the PB on the right slice then drop naked slice on top. Can't do jelly, FWIW.

Braunschweiger/liverwurst right side.

However, I always set the source material to the right of the plate or counter space so it may be a function of where the PB jar is placed?

Socks, right foot first.

Imagine pivoting the top slice 180. That would mess me up.

Crunchy PB provides a man's meal. Smooth if no one is looking.
