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

[DriftGames]

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!

TrickyD

Maybe it's time to get alexa or similar or light bulbs you can control from your phone.

DH takes his socks off and leaves them where they are - usually the lounge. DC have started doing it now. It drives me to distraction!

@TrickyD have you tried changing to led lights? They should be cheaper to run.

sash and Coffeecake3, thanks for the suggestions. We do have Alexa dealing with sitting room lights, four lamps though not the wall lights, plus conservatory lights and virtually all bulbs are LEDs. I don’t think Alexa would be helpful in the kitchen, where we are in and out a lot. I go in, turn on lights, go out, turn them off. DH will have got something from the utility, the boiler/drying room and pantry and all lights will be left on until I next go in.But otherwise he is pretty good. I have to say that as I am here in bed awaiting a cup of coffee having already been served with a Marmite pikelet and a cup of tea. He’s not all bad.

The worst culprit is probably the big conservatory floor which has electric underfloor heating. We use the room a lot, so in winter the heating stays on.

DD is left handed and puts everything back backwards!!!

Dh will do the washing up and not finish washing pots and pans. Yes to food floating in the sink, whatever happened to wiping food off plates, bowls and other dishes before washing?
A coffee mug is left on the kitchen work surface/dining room table every single fucking day.
Dd1 (11) is really loud. She has no volume control. She’s doesn’t have hearing problems as she’s had tests, she’s just annoying. She’s also recently been saying ‘I’m bored’, we’re on holiday 🤦🏼‍♀️

DH does a great many of the above. Actually one of the worst that annoys me out of proportion to the others, is leaving his shoes about. He has size 13 feet & favours massive heavy walking /army boots. So when they are left against the door they make a very effective door jamb, or I trip over them in the dark, they don't move & I usually fall over. He still thinks it's funny, the massive toad. I swear one day I'll do something drastic.

Huffing and sighing. He has just come out of the shower and has huffed and sighed the whole time he has been drying himself.

When asked what is wrong, he says nothing and genuinely nothing is. He's not being a passive aggressive twat, he just huffs and sighs a lot.

When I say, he immediately asks what is wrong, but when I ask him, he complains that I always ask when clearly nothing is wrong.

It drives me crazy.

Puts lights on in rooms automatically, irrespective of how much daylight. Especially bathrooms. Then when it’s bright, doesn’t notice they are on, so leaves them on.

DD wiping her mouth on her clothes.

DH leaving gas rings on low because he can’t see the low gas.

Emptying the dishwasher but only placing the crockery on top of the cupboard where it lives - not in it.

Putting clothes in the wash when they aren’t dirty. Leaving wet towels on the (wooden) bannister rather than the hot towel rail.

DH disapproving of using the bathroom underfloor heating in winter. Him switching it off at the wall and hiding the switch with the linen basket. Like that fools me.

@YouJustDoYou there is nothing to work on, that is abuse, there is only staying or leaving.

@YouJustDoYou- perhaps start your own thread in Relationships? It really sounds like you could do with some proper support, and a jokey thread about minor irritations won't really help. I'm so sorry for what you are going through- it's definitely abusive .

@kerkyra my son does this, I’ve even got him a splatter guard and he still fecking gets a oil splatters everywhere

Loveee this thread, can’t even start on my OH as I have to be in work in 2 hours and I’ll end up being late

Teens, they are my rant!!!

Peeing on the bathroom floor, just why?? ok I've done it a couple of times when I've been really pissed (not been like that for years), but Jesus Christ it's every day. I had a go once and the eldest said "it must have been mum." Ehhh? I asked him how that works and he just looked at me confused. Its biology son, think about it!!!

Last one. Pubes!!!! Pubes as far as the eye can see. It's not the youngest as he's not at the gorilla stage yet. I clean out the shower after being in there, It's the 18 year old again, you could stuff a duvet with it all!! I'll die laughing if he blames his mum for that one. If I try to explain how it couldn't be, the confusion will be too much and his head will explode!

@VesperLynne is that actually a stealth brag? ;-) He sounds rather wonderful!

God I’m glad I live alone.

Daughter age 4 gets flapjack or poppadom crumbs everywhere, it's like they stick to her and she sheds them.

Hangs his coats by the hood over any coat peg. That means that his coat has to be rehung by the loop every time I try to put a new coat in.

Putting his keys over mine. It's like some kind of subliminal territory marking. It doesn't matter which hook I use.

Happy to live in a twiglight world of closed curtains.

Over sensitive to windows open in hot weather, although DS is worse and hates any window open ever.

My dp knocks off all the lights when hes going to bed.Which is fine but im still up.

I dont notice cause im on my laptop.I only notice when im going to bed.And then have to knock on lights so i dont kill myself falling over things.

DD (23) borrows my stuff because it's always in the right place and doesn't put it back so when I want to use my own stuff I can't find it. She can't find her stuff,eg straighteners, cos she never puts them away. She also leaves the kitchen like a bombsite after she's cooked dinner (often for all of us). OTOH she's really loving and hasn't had the easiest time in her life and is gradually recovering so that's good

He’s a window opener. I can’t sleep with windows open but somehow, even though Ive closed them before bed, I wake up and they’re open! (I realise no one is right or wrong here)

Always a pair of pants or something down his side of the bed! Just... walk 5 steps to the laundry basket!

Amongst most, if not all of the things listed, DH leaves used tissues or kitchen roll everywhere. Even in the bed. Yuck! I just leave them now, as sick and tired of throwing them away. They're at the side of the bed as we speak. Boak! But I refuse to clean them up anymore.

Does the shopping - brilliant! and unpacks it all over the kitchen counter! Like cave man who s just been out hunting! Me man, bought food! You woman- put away!! Aghhh

Oh god, YES.

Also with anything foraged or picked from the garden.

“I know you’ve got a busy week on but here’s a carrier bag of squashy plums that need dealing with NOW before the kitchen is crawling with flies. I’m going to wash them and then spread them out on every available work surface so you can’t do any other cooking until you’ve dealt with this lot. No, I haven’t checked whether we’ve got empty jars. Or sugar.”
