Why did you even bother? Fancy a laugh?

[WatchOutLurkerAbout]

Do you have those moments when you think "why did I even bother?"

Case and point.

Husband going out to walk the dogs I say - I'm going to put the toilet tabs in the downstairs loo to soak tonight. Don't use it. I put the tabs in. Close the lid. Cover the lid in four full bottles of lemonade and a flattened cardboard box for dramatic amusing effect. Obviously you'd see that and think ok! I remember not to use this toilet tonight.

Nope.

Crash. Bang. Whallop. Flush.

What are your "why did I even bother?" moments?

(Ps this is obviously lighthearted and purely for entertainment as I am unwell and not sleeping).

I spent about 3 hours gently boiling chicken bones and bits of veg to make a good stock for soup I planed to make the following day ,
I strained the bones in a big colander with the stock going straight down the plug hole .
I wouldn't mind but I have done this at least 3 times over the past few months .
I will stick to buying tins of soup I think

Oh god. That's painful. I made gravy from scratch for the first time this Christmas and got to say I did keep chanting to myself not to accidentally pour it away.

watchout, sorry to break it to you but I think we’re married to the same man.

It's a special talent for a particular type of idiocy they have isn't it

My preferred toilet barrier is pile of towels, couple of bottles of bleach and some loo rolls. Never works.

We use cloth nappies and the dirty nappy bucket is in the bathroom. I might just put the bucket on the toilet next time since he claims to not know where it is or how to use that.

It's like his ass gravitates to that toilet. It's right next to the kitchen and he knows I hate him using it. But still. Every night like clockwork.

Why do I even bother?!

@AlCalavicci I usually pull out the bits with tongs, less mess that way and maybe a way of breaking your habit?

@ReginaBambina I hope this tip is for stock, not toilet cleaning! 😬

My dh has a habit of reusing towels too much... like the same one for two showers a day every day for a week. Chucked on the bed or on the floor so it doesn’t even dry properly. They start to smell after three days. He dries his arse and face with the chosen towel. Then after so many days he hangs it on the Towel rack and uses a new one. But doesn’t put the old one in the wash just lets it ‘dry out’ my ‘why do I bother’ is when I collect all these damp dog smelling towels and put them in the wash basket and he GETS THEM OUT AGAIN.
