Some predictable things.... she always washes the dishes SUPER late. drinks water SUPER slow, im talking about like quarter sips. Takes maybe an hour for one glass of water. She also always feellls super guilty without fail whenever she feels like she should do something.
In relation to sleeping...I HAVE to have the bed facing the door...but I don't want to be the side of the bed closer to the door (which I am now). My husband doesn't really understand why and doesn't think it's a big deal, but we are going to be rearranging our bedroom to add a TV on the wall and I can tell you I will sleep a lot sounder in my new position.
That's only in the Western version of feng shui - doesn't apply in the real Eastern practice. They don't even mention lopan directions or the existence of sha qi on that site (or on the plethora of copycat ones - Google "command position" and I bet you'll find a few hundred sites that all say the same thing).
Mien will always talk about cars, without fail. He will show any willing participant his collection of cars and will start up the stinkiest one too. If we are at an event like a party or something that MY friends invited us to, he will want to leave early feining illness - every single time but with his friends it's party all night long.
I had a new surprise last night though that absolutely mortified me. We don't eat out very often, I had just gotten back from California after a cross crountry trip then flew home... I was tired and ready for bed but he suggested we grab a bite - something cheap and simple so we agreed on Applebees. They have a promotion, 2 for $20 so you get an appetizer and two entrees for that price. Cheap right? Then he's looking at the happy hour prices, which would have made the entire meal $15 for the same menu items... so he made the waitress explain why he couldn't have the menu prices for the happy hour vs the promotional special then went further and had the Manager change the receipt which saved him a whopping $5. It was embarrassing... I told him if he ever pulled that crap again, to let me know and I'd buy dinner... The thing was it was only $5 and then he ended up tipping the girl $6 - so it would have been a wash anyway..

Even so, every human I know prefers this position.
He'd choose a time when I am at home, and would pretend to threaten the kids, "If you don't go to bed, I'll call the mosshorn." The kids would be gullible and say, "She is already home." - Gives him good half an hour of happiness. Then I would start educating the kids, who the real mosshorn is in the house, and the word is just flying about the house, making him happier and happier.
(What's mosshorn, anyways, - I think something old and covered with moss.)
