one time i came home and discovered i left my curling iron plugged in from then on i had to go up and downstairs exactly three times to ensure any and all heating tools were unplugged before leaving the house i would go upstairs check go back downstairs go back upstairs check again you get the picture now i just touch my hand over the plug three times to ensure its unplugged my therapist told me that i created a shortcut ritual so i wouldnt have to keep going up and downstairs
