Completely unreasonable and irrational conclusions you’ve made

[UhtredRagnarson]

Inspired by the topic of another thread I have been reminded that for reasons I can’t fathom I believe that houses that have the big light on in the living room of an evening must be chaotic homes. I hate the big light on and I hate seeing it in other homes if I’m out for a walk. No idea why. It doesn’t affect me at all.

What’s yours?

My door is in the middle of my house with the sitting room to the left and kitchen to the right. Cannot win.

If it were the other way round yours be fine but living room to the left is all wrong. Wrong wrong wrong!

@DrMadelineMaxwell

We are big light people. I appreciate the ambiance at others houses with their lamps but find it a bit gloomy.

We also very rarely close the curtains, upstairs or down.

Only just spotted this after I posted! My gran would have loved a peer in your window!

Blinds. Just wrong. You know they're dusty as hell and what are they hiding exactly....?!
Net curtains grim. And yes to tumble dried washing being far inferior to line dried....

People who say 'of an evening' are usually geriatric and weird. People who have their curtains closed all day are smelly and dirty, especially if there is condensation and faded, old takeaway leaflets visible through the window.

We have the ikea smart lights system linked into Alexa. Dimmable and warm / cool light options. Absolutely love it.

I also agree that clean car people are Hard Work. The best people are the people whom, as you apologise for the mankyness of your car when they get in for a lift, immediately interrupt you to tell you how much more disgusting theirs is.

I make a LOT of assumptions about people based on their spelling and grammar.

If your gran looked over the hedge on the front garden and past the weeping cherry tree that mostly obscures the direct view into the window then she'd be welcome to look. She would see the aquarium, dining room table and piano as the living room is in the back of our house. And no chance of anyone looking in from the back as we arent overlooked.

The people we bought our house from were obsessed with recessed spotlights.

We have eight in our living room ceiling.

The kitchen has twenty (yes, really, 20) - we have actually had the circuit for most of them disconnected as it made the room like a fucking football stadium on Champions League night, not to mention the amount of heat they chucked out.

My bathroom has 12

Apart from the fact that this is absolutely ridiculous in the first place, changing them involves removing a devious little curl of metal which has a habit of springing out and ending up god knows where. If you do manage to find the bastard thing, it is almost impossible to get back in again.

We have a lot of lamps.

Er, doesn't it depend where you are standing? If I come into the house, the living room is on the left, making me a wrong un. But as I leave the house it's on the right, so I am a saint.

now there’s a spanner in my works!

I often leave the downstairs curtains open all the time but I do have complete privacy due to high hedges front and back. I like to see the gardens at night.

I conclude that all ladies with short and neat hair are super organised and efficient in every area of their life

People who have bottles (shampoo, etc) visible on their bathroom-windowsills live in chaotic near-slums. (Annoyingly, DH keeps putting his Lynx on our windowsill, giving the game away.)

Any man sitting in a parked car on his phone is sexting an OW.

Any woman who says, "Oh my Brian would never cheat, he doesn't have the energy!" will discover their Brian had secret 50 families and millions of offspring after his death.

Men who scoot back from the school run on their DC's scooters feel superior to other people in almost every way.

I had washing out early this week but only because I’ve got a new dog and she gets up at stupid o’clock in the morning and looks really cute snuffling around the garden. I’m training her on appropriate wake up times.

Picture please!

Hate lights on during the day.

@sueelleker

People who leave wardrobe doors open are wrong'uns in my rather big book. Don't they know that's how monsters get into your bedroom?

And well, people who eat celery? Just why?

Any man walking along carrying flowers has fucked up big time. And is trying to apologise. Rather than just being nice.

@HunterHearstHelmsley

I have to remove spiders etc from my car before travelling anywhere as otherwise their family will be looking for them. I can't drive them elsewhere.

Hanging washing outside to dry makes your clothes a bit dirty again.

I have a similar feeling when I see a wild animal (fox, badger etc) that has been run over. I told DH that I picture their family waiting patiently in their burrow or wherever for them to come home with supper....and they can’t.

@UhtredRagnarson

If your living room/kitchen is to the left of your front door you’re a wrong’un.

My living room is- we're in a terrace, and the houses alternate floor plans. The houses each side of us have them on the right. But God forbid you actually say that someone died or is dead, because everyone looks at you like you're the most insensitive prick going. I wonder of this is trait of people who've experienced a lot of bereavement? Like you, I've seen a lot of very close family die over the years and it just doesn't hold any taboo for me anymore. We took my Mum to see some assisted living flats (over 60's only), and the person showing us around kept talking about the turnover of tenants "people err move out" and we're thinking "or die". We could hardly keep straight faces.

#ShoesOnFirstThenCar it makes life unnecessarily difficult 😭 I can't not do it though!

We would definitely get on.

Open curtains when the sun has gone down make me feel uncomfortable.
People who use Alexa are lazy and obsessed with consuming new goods (wasteful). They are not, but that's my ridiculous assumption.
I think because I grew up with miserly parents who would never replace or update anything and I am similar.

My parents were exactly the same. Just went against the grain with everything, nothing hi-tech, never branded food. They weren't short of cash too.

My mother was obsessed with closing the curtains when it got slightly dark as 'people can see in!!'. I am now the same.
