Came across one of my OCD nuances today.

I can’t have single songs on my phone. I have to have full albums even if it’s only 1 or 2 songs I like on it.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

That's not really OCD though.....otherwise the NEXT person that picked up that bag would spill the crisps all over the place.

It's just a good forward-thinking strategy on your part.
Congrats, and treat yourself to an ice cream.

It's bad luck to open it the wrong way around. Have been doing it the correct way since I was a little kid!

No.. there's an old saying - "Once you've opened a bag of crisps, of ANY size, finish them"

That’s the deal here, we buy large bags of Doritos and paprika crisps ( :P ) and don’t really want a whole bag, mind you I always clean out a regular pack in one hit. :D

Chip-Clip is your friend.

OR!------Stick them in a cooler and close the lid over bag-end. Keeps them fresh for ages.

We just use an ordinary common or garden clothes peg, which seems to work ok. Hadn’t thought about the fridge though. 8-|

Just fold the end 3 times leaving a quarter of the flap to roll the bag over and leave it upside down - half a bag of crisps is enough to keep that shit sealed for 3 weeks - trust me I know

I don't have any crisps in the house.

Imagine splitting the end flap into 4 equal parts, fold it 3 times (you could peg it at this point) but instead, roll it a 4th time then flip the whole thing upside down (folds at the bottom) and put it down. With enough weight in the bag it won't unfold

Nope...not seeing it. I'll just wait until you buy some more. Make sure you buy a flavor that has a bright wrapper otherwise it won't show up on this phone.
