when I started eating, I kept noticing this 'cockroach like smell'. I checked the plate, the tray, my mind didn't even go to the spoon.
Then I smelt the spoon and I threw up immediately, it was the damn spoon. It destabilized my system for days (I kept throwing up)

Sophyrocks:
Smell cutleries? seriously? Kinda gross to me. What i do is rinse a cutlery first before use.

Kachisbarbie, do you have OCD?

Kachisbarbie:


hmmm...I think so, but I don't wanna believe it has gotten to that.
If it's in a wedding, you know i can easily rinse the spoon, but majority of times these weddings take place inside halls, i think it would be nastier for me to rinse the spoon there or start walking out to rinse the spoon.

Sometimes I damn the 'eyes' on me and walk out to rinse the spoon, but my obsession would still tell me to reconfirm - that the water sef might be bad...hahaha.

Kachisbarbie:
This happened today and I decided to share it with my e-buddies. I got pretty hungry within the day and had to go for lunch with friends (not in a fast food though) - when we got there, immediately they served us, I picked up my spoon and smelt it (stylishly) : now this is a habit that I formed over the years - it's now reflex - I must smell my spoon before eating.

I do it everywhere, @weddings, child dedications...I have lost count of how many times my husband/family/friends have told me to stop it - but I can't . Let me take us back to how I formed this habit.

I think it should be about 6yrs ago, when we relegated my kid sis (the smallest sis) into the kitchen dept., she was about 10/11yrs then. She had the weirdest way of washing dishes. One day she served my food - the spoon was already inside the rice...when I started eating, I kept noticing this 'cockroach like smell'. I checked the plate, the tray, my mind didn't even go to the spoon.

Then bang...I smelt the spoon and I threw up immediately, it was the damn spoon - I felt like beating that lil-witch that day. It destabilized my system for days (I kept throwing up)...so since then, I don't care where/when/how...I smell my spoon/cup before using to eat, except I washed it myself.

The question is
:- Is this habit of mine that bad, my friends couldn't stop talking about it today.
:-Does anyone else do this? I don't want to believe I'm alone.

Sammyblaq:
smelling spoon...arrhhhhhhhhhh! out for me!
To tell of a bad spoon I make use of my hand(finger) to check if it slips...if so I take another or wash.
Op u have a backedup story...but I wont give the act a thumb-up.
KB I wont advice u to continue but if u insist do it on CODE.
Ndewo

Sleekyshuga:
Same here... I use my hand to slide the whole spoon, esp the part I eat with.. Any oily feeling, I clean with a serviette (that's if I'm outside) or quickly re-wash (if I'm indoor)..

I can't detect smell of cockroach by 'sliding' na

Hmmmm... Depends on where you store your cutleries... Also, as a student, my cutleries ain't much.. I tend to wash them daily cos by the time friends and friends-friends chop , the cutleries don finish be that.. No matter what, I slide and re-wash, save in public when water is far from me..

How's hussy coping with it ... Trying to imagine both of u eating.. You cooked a delicious meal, and you dished it out for both of you.. Time to eat!! You pick up your cutlery and straight to your nose . Chai!!

lol. I don't do it in my house. I do it in public, the only time I may do it @home is if someone else served me - but that's a long time ago/very rare. They know better than serving me without re-washing my spoon/cup.

Sleekyshuga:
No ooo... No 2nd chance for that leprosy causing insect ... Wish I can be that brave, sha .. She kills while I do the mopping (with a scented water) to reduce the foul smell...

KingTom:

Man those things disturbed our lives while in Uni ehn! at a point even the rats were afraid of them

iceberylin:

You cant kill a cockroach
AJEBO
Hope you'll get brave someday

Sleekyshuga:
