Every time I butter a piece of bread I think/sing to myself “I’m in the streets, I’m in the gutter, it’s years since I’ve had bread and butter”. This happens literally every time.. I think it’s from a long forgotten sitcom from the nineties… is there something like this that you do? I also sing Radiohead’s “everything… in its right place” when tidying up.. every time…

I think of that scene from Arachnophobia every time I reach up into a lamp to turn it on. I much prefer ones with the switch on the cord XD
