I have this thing about being clean before I go to bed...before we go to bed. It's not just about me being clean, Hubby has to abide by the people cooties rule, too. He says there's no such thing. Ha! I'm here to put in print.
The people cooties rule - You MUST take a shower (or bath, whatever floats your...boat) before going to bed and getting between the sheets. No exceptions. It doesn't matter that you just took a shower 10 minutes ago and only stepped outside to check the wind, you still have to take another shower. It doesn't matter that you got in the vehicle in the garage and drove through the McDonald's drive through, you still left the house and must take another shower.
Obsessive? Irrational? Controlling? Yes. Yes. Yes. Still a rule? YES. There are people cooties that exist outside the walls of this house that must be washed off before getting in bed. Otherwise, your options are the floor, the couch, or laying on top of the duvet and not touching me (I happen to be clean). I have made poor Hubby's eyes bug out because of being so adamant about this rule. He still loves me....even when he's muttering in the shower.
And just so it's known...I never called it the people cooties rule before we got married. I just knew it creeped me out not to be absolutely clean before getting in bed. When Hubster learned of this fascinating aspect of my personality, he declared that I was afraid of people cooties. (only when it's bed time)
Do you have any strange quirky rules?

Gosh, I know I use to have rules and somehow abandoned them all. I use to require that the bed be shaken/brushed off before we got in.
I have one that drives my husband bonkers. I will not leave the house or go to bed without going to the bathroom first. I may have gone 5 minutes ago and be completely dehydrated, and I must go again.
You know, if you sleep in pajamas, and you don't steam them before you climb into bed, you might as well not even have this rule. You know, being that there are little tiny micro bugs crawling all over them.
Not to creep you out or anything.

Melissa: That's not a bad idea! I know with Kelton, I'm never quite sure what's on our bed since he "swiffers" the floors with his clothes now.
Joanna: I totally agree on using the bathroom before leaving the house. There is nothing worse that a FULL bladder and a dirty public restroom. ick ick ick!!
Chris: ACK!!! Bed bugs!! In my twisted little world, there are no bugs in my pj's!!
