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?

Monopoly
It's not a game it's like a religion. No conversation just long long hours of playing the game with no mercy. Any other game... just normal.. but Monopoly, oh that was a different matter. I can't play it nowdays, because no one understand why I am sooo intense when I do.

I can't!
Play monopoly with my ex-bloke. We're now friends but I just can't bring myself to play it with him after the board going over and too much shouting all those years ago. I also refuse to play with safety glasses and a hard hat. I just can't

Erm...
I blame my brother, but now everything in monopoly is followed by the word "motherfucker"
e.g
"That's £100 please...motherfucker!"
"Unlucky, straight to jail motherfucker!"
The problem being, we'll then carry on.
"Do you want a drink?"
"Can I have a beer please...MOTHERFUCKER!"
We're now banned from playing at christmas.

We have a similar tradition to this,
but using "bitch" instead of motherfucker.

Nobody will play me anymore
I don't think I've played Monopoly properly since I was about 10.
My ruthlessness meant no family member would play me anymore.
I once played the ex-wife about 6 years ago, we didn't even finish the game as she got that pissed off with my "hostile attitude".
Got a new girlfriend but not sure if it's worth the risk to get the game out of the cupboard....
