We have an electrical goods black hole. iPods, phones, remote controls etc. They disappear for sometimes weeks and then turn up exactly where they belong.

If our fussy cat decides she likes a particular brand of cat food and we buy several tins of it, she'll never eat it again.

when using the sticky wax strips on my legs, I would leave the other half on the table, and as soon as the kitteh sees it, it wants to sit on it!

Out electrical goods are fine, it's the chargers that pop in and out of this dimension. We have 7 blackberry chargers could I find one this morning? But I did find the camera cable, which is unique and has been missing for months

Whenever you walk through the house you will discover the light fairy has switched on every light in every room in the house despite them being unoccupied. After turning off the lights, a short while later, you will find they've all been left switched on again by the naughty light fairy.
I have a 3 bedroom house, I counted 9 lights left on on one occasion. "It's like Blackpool illuminations" I yell, just like my dad

the gas bottle always runs out in the middle of cooking a roast.
the water always runs out when the stand pipes are frozen and we can't get anymore
the toilet is always full in the morning when you need a crap and all the spare cassettes are full too

There is always a teaspoon in the washing up bowl when you empty the water after washing up.
In my parents' house when I was a small goat there was always trouble over scissors. They had two pairs of them (or so they claimed) but one pair was always missing and the remaining pair would not work. My mother would need them to cut the rind off bacon and would accuse my father of having used them to cut wire. My father when he needed them would complain that they were greasy from being used to cut bacon rind. As I grew older I realised that the scissors had been a cheap pair that worked loose and needed to be tightened up. My father did this by bashing the end of the central screw to make the end spread out like a rivet. When I left home I remained for a few weeks of the opinion that scissors would be dangerous emotion-loaded objects until I bought a pair that worked and were not in demand by someone else. The one piece of wisdom that I pass on to the younger generation is: never buy cheap scissors.
I currently have no socks missing. This blessed state is the first time for several years.

Luckily I'm the owner of my house and I rent a room to another chap who always has mates round. There are some unwritten rules.
1. I always get a sofa seat, its my house and my sofa.
2. The cat will bite you if you are a visitor. Dont complain to me, I couldnt give a flying fuck, its clearly your fault and not hers anyway.
3. Take your shoes off (although I know my housemate doesnt bother when im not there and neither do his mates).
4. Dont flick your ash in the sitting room bin, there are 3 ashtrays, use them.
5. Never ever ever ever go into my room or study without asking me first.

Disappearing teaspoons - even when we buy new ones they're gone before we can wash them up before use - I think our house has a teaspoon attracting black hole, now if I can find a corresponding white hole
No idea, but I once found a table fork jabbed at chest height into a tree beside a main road.
