Family codes and rituals
Freddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

Christ, I kind of do that
but only the avoiding the threes bit. And only on the big grey concrete covers, not metal ones.
I think it's largely because I have a friend who not only used to avoid them, but would push me to one side if I was going to walk across one so that I wouldn't.
So it's not entirely irrational of me, it just became easier to avoid them myself rather than constantly being pushed around.
Well, that and three's are more likely to collapse and plummet me to my doom than twos.
