No problems with wrist watches here. I've worn one since I was about fourteen. The only problem I've had with a wrist watch (and it was my fault) was once when working for a radio station, I was in the production room taping a commercial. I had it all done on the open-reel tape recorder and I needed a clean cartridge to dub it to. I took one with a bunch of discontinued commercials, flopped it on the magnetic eraser, pressed the "ON' button and swished the cart around. While doing this, I felt a brief electric shock in my left hand. Surprised me, but I couldn't figure out what did it, and wondered if the magnetic eraser was on the fritz. Later, I noticed that my battery-powered digital watch (complete with stop-watch, alarms, and other bells and whistles) had stopped. The magnetic field had sucked the charge out of the battery and generally screwed up the watch. Most upsetting, because this was when digital watches first came out and they were very pricy!

With me, pens and pencils proliferate, as if somehow related to clothes hangers. Their all over the top of my desk and my bedside table and almost every flat surface in my apartment. Except, of course, when I need one in a hurry.

With peanut butter and Concord grape jelly sandwiches (from another thread), I invariably get a big dollop of grape jelly on my shirt front, especially if I've just put a clean shirt on, and especially if the shirt is a light color.

As far as clothes rotating is concerned, I have the same problem with my Jockey shorts that Fred has with his belt. It's most uncomfortable when your Jockey shorts wind up at a 45° angle from where they should be. It took years of research and study, but I think I have a viable theory. Check it out HERE.
