When you adjust the volume on a television, or something, do you find that you have to turn it to an even number (or possibly a multiple of five) because otherwise you feel a bit weird about it?
Further, if a volume bar doesn't have numbers on it, does it really bother you that you can't be sure the volume is set to a "right" number?
Whenever I mention this there are always loads of people that say "me too," and I wonder how common it is, is it actually normal, and where does it even come from? How can so many people that have never encountered one another have devised the same strange quirk?
Once, I was watching TV with my mum and she turned it up to 17 or something and then left it there. I just wanted to shout "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
