Ooh, you've given me some new ideas lol
When I lived at home and had cats, I loved to pick the fleas off them and pop them
I love taking splinters out etc too!

I scratch dirt off the mouse/keyboard. It really bugs me I'm not a huge remote person, the only one we have is for the stereo and I'd rather just get up and change it. I remember doing that to my grandparent's tv remotes though.

I can't say I have done that to the remotes here at home but then I probably could! Hmmm... what to do tonight after work?
I do have some others though (odd habits), like how I arrange the cutlery holder in our dishwasher at home - forks with forks, teaspoons with teaspoons, knives with knives etc.
I also can't brush my teeth without peeing first, hmmm... that sounds wrong! I just mean that I have to sit on the toilet in the morning or evening before I go to clean my teeth LOL
Anyway, I will stop there...

I do that, and I also do it to my hair brush as well to give it a good clean.

every so often DH lets me get his blackheads on his butt and thighs. i usually have to BEG him to lie on the bed and let me "investigate" to see if there are any latest developments. I love finding really big ones! he thinks im crazy! (GO FIGURE!)
i only get to do it if ive been really good though

Me too! Except Willie gets them on his bald head. It is just so satisfying popping them and squeezing all the gunk out!

DF ALWAYS ALWAYS asks me to do this for him... But I can't stand picking/squeezing anything on my own face, let alone his back! Yuck!

Oh Serenity, but it's so satisfying knowing that the gunk is all gone and there's no more horrible black pus (DP gets dirt from when he's working in his open pores and they turn into HUGE blackheads) or dirt, and it's kinda like....clean!!!

I'd rather pay for him to have a 'backcial' haha - A facial for the back.

When in university I used to loooovveee using the computers in the library as the mouse would always have gunk to clean in where the ball is.
Damn these new fangled optical mouse contraptions.

Guilty. I love getting into DH's blackheads on his back. He hardly has any, but if I can see them, I HAVE to get them! Sadly, he hates me squeezing them, so don't ever to get to it now .
