Tell me what irritating shit your DH/DC/housemates do that boil your piss

DH will do the dishes, but only the easy ones. If DD's sippy cups, deep glasses or fancy utensils are in there, he will literally drain the water and walk away leaving them there.

Tell me what your cohabitants do that pisses you off!

@Gin4thewin

Walks PAST the dishwasher to put his cups/plates on the draining board, DS started doing the same thing too. Drives me knuts

You might want to google "She Divorced Me Because I Left Dishes By The Sink"!!

My husband on the whole is pretty good, but, my pet peeve is him filling the dishwasher so it's full apart from a single cup. Then he puts it on a rinse and leaves it.

I come home and unload the dishwasher wondering why it's wet and not so clean.
I have now forbidden him to use the rinse setting which is 25 mins compared with a quick wash which is 30 mins.

YouJustDoYou · 24/08/2020 17:22

Dh helps himself to my breasts. Just shoves his hands in there, says "he needs this". If i say no, he says he "cant take my rejection, its too upsetting". also likes to just put his hands down my trousers to touch the top of my clit whenever i have my back turned - I absolutely fucking hate it. I also can't be on my side when he wakes otherwise he takes this as carte blanche to wrap his arms over me and start twitching his fucking hardon against my backside.

Wannabegreenfingers · 24/08/2020 17:23

well my stbexh - breath.....

YouJustDoYou · 24/08/2020 17:23

Dh also never ever, wraps something up he's opened before putting it back in the fridge, so if I don't find it it goes hard/manky where he's just left it open.

Wannabegreenfingers · 24/08/2020 17:26

*YouJustDoYou - you know that this isn't right don't you and you don't have to live with this awful behaviour?

BlackberrySky · 24/08/2020 17:29

Puts things for the dishwasher next to it, but not in it!

YouJustDoYou · 24/08/2020 17:35

YouJustDoYou - you know that this isn't right don't you

Yup. I know...I'm working on it :(

DidSheReallySayThat20 · 24/08/2020 17:49

Dh.. Puts lights on in broad day light in every room.
Teen. plonks washing on the floor next to the basket.
Dsd pulls her underwear, trousers and socks off in one big bundle so I have to pull apart.

I could list many more. But they're the ones that daily grate me.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 24/08/2020 18:26

Relentless ordering of junk food deliveries when I am trying to lose weight.

Plus it stinks the house out.

hungrywalrus · 24/08/2020 18:55

Instead of putting leftovers into a box, he puts the whole pot into the fridge. This means that I a) can’t see what’s in so it might end up rottenit b) uses up far too much space in the fridge and c) means that I don’t have enough pots to cook with afterwards and then have to decant the leftovers and clean the pot before using it.

Yes, I’ve told him on numerous occasions to stop doing this.

Akindelle · 24/08/2020 19:00

DH “helps” by putting the washer on. Except he isn’t selective about what he throws in or what cycle he chooses. He’ll put handwash only items in the washer, put items labelled max 30c in a 40c wash, and they all get ruined. He’ll choose a cotton cycle for a mixed load because it’s a longer cycle therefore it must be better. And the most annoying thing, he’ll put stuff in a 60c wash because “40c won’t kill the germs” (neither will 60c, you’re just ruining the clothes).

LadyCatStark · 24/08/2020 19:24

DH: folds his chocolate wrappers up all neatly and puts them into his mug with the last dregs of his tea.
Puts all his pots on top of the dishwasher. The other day I found a McDonalds cup on there, like he was expecting it to go in the dishwasher 🤨.
Goes for a poo in the en-suite right before I need to brush my teeth 😡
Opens one door of the double doors into the dining room and leaves the other one shut.

DS: slams the door every time he leaves the house.
Noisy eating 🙉

Both: have ‘man looks’ for anything they can’t find.

motorcyclenumptiness · 24/08/2020 19:31

Leaving the bathroom looking like a crime scene. Opening packets absolutely any way other than the obvious one so that the packaging is rendered useless and everything looks like it's been ripped open by bears - what is going on in the mind of a person who looks at the big perforated panel on top of a box of tissues and decides to open it at the side ...
I'll leave it there.

roarfeckingroarr · 24/08/2020 20:04

I can't complain about DP. He isn't quite as anal as I am and so will leave a plate on the side for a couple of hours before washing it up or putting it in the dishwasher, but it always gets done.

DS is still quite literally living with me, as in he has another couple of weeks to cook. I could do without being booted constantly in the ribs.

EdwardCullensBiteOnTheSide · 24/08/2020 20:20

Dh ; has a shave and leaves the drips of stubble, shave gel and water all over the sink.
Puts his plate in the sink and doesn't wash it. Eats the last of the biscuits and leaves the wrapper on the side or even in the cupboard.
Has a shit and leaves the toilet with it stuck to the sides.
Goes to bed and leaves his glass/cup where he was sitting on the sofa.
Leaves clothes on the floor when the washing basket it throwing distance away.
Gets things out of a drawer and leaves the drawer open.
More but it's pissing me off writing them down!

Happynow001 · 25/08/2020 02:48

@BetterEatCheese

Wow the leaving things in to soak thing is common! I have found my people! Dh does this too and I don't get it. He does it just before he goes out so then I have either do it (when I wasn't planning on doing it yet) or waste the water, or I discover it later if I'm out too. Absolutely enrages me.

He also tumble dries his hoodie for 2 minutes every day to freshen it up. Not an issue. What is an issue is that he doesn't turn the drier off, just shuts the door back up. Cue drier after half an hour flashing and beeping. Every. Bloody. Time I think 'oh, what have I left in there?...' Go over, open it up.... it's empty! I have raised this and he can't understand why it's annoying

Go over, open it up.... it's empty! I have raised this and he can't understand why it's annoying
Tell him how much JUST doing that costs each month/year - from taxed income.. that might sink in...

HerRoyalNotness · 25/08/2020 02:58

He’s sitting next to me in the couch having bit his fingernail off and is crunching on it a mouthing it. 🤮 he’s in his 40s FGS

Also gets bored doing the dishes and leaves the pots, doesn’t wipe the bench down and doesn’t empty the strainer of food from the sink.

Walks around with his eyes high so never sees anything on the floor to pick up until he gets in one of his rants every other month and does an angry tidy/clean.

WineGetsMeThroughIt · 25/08/2020 03:25

Comes out from the bathroom or any other room where he's been 30 seconds before and into the room where I am and then farts! It's like he's saving them for me. They're fucking deadly too. It infuriates me. 🤢😷

Leaves the dirty dishes on the kitchen island next to the empty sink and above the empty dishwasher.

Points out all the things he's done during the day and expect a standing ovation when they're normal day to day tasks everyone is expected to do

rayoflightboy · 25/08/2020 06:05

Loads the dishwasher but doesn't put the tablet in and turn it on.

Moves everything and then denies all knowledge.

Doesn't separate the clothes going in to the dryer,so towels,socks,tee shirts all go in together.

DriftGames · 25/08/2020 06:21

There's so many 'good' ones here!!

I'll add a few more -

  • Puts things on top of the washing basket, not in it.
  • Leaves any drinking receptacle wherever he took the last sip and that's the end of that. The bookcase behind the sofa is his favourite.
  • Wears regular socks at night after a shower, takes them off and leaves them on the dresser and puts 'work' socks on in the morning, leaving the regular ones on the dresser.
  • Moans when I park on the front of the drive. It fits 4 cars but he doesn't like the other 4 spaces because sometimes birds poo on the car around there, however my car is too low to get on the drive in any other way so I would otherwise have to park on the road.

When OH does the washing up it's never done completely so always something left to soak (even though it's not needed), food left in the plug or leftovers left out of the fridge

This. Bloody fucking this.
