When I go to my children's houses when they're grown up I'm going to

[Dustingdemon]

Put a nearly empty milk bottle back in the fridge.
Turn on all the lights in the house and leave.
Tell them at 10pm that I need something desperately for the next day that they have absolutely no way of getting in time.

Your turn.

I’ll take a couple of bags of the balls from ball pits and stash them everywhere, under furniture, behind sofa cushions, in coat pockets, in shoes etc, so just when they think they’ve got them all, they find another one. They’re as bad as glitter.

I see the loom bands and raise you those little bands that goe on dental braces . DD kept throwing them near the bin but not in

I don't wear braces so I'll replicate with those little wipes for my glasses .

I will sit silently in the room with them for aeons. Then I will feel the need to talk at them as a matter of urgency the very second they leave the room, with their hands full and in the middle of an urgent task.

Oh, and I won’t bother to waste exercising the muscles in my eyes and actually swivel my eyes towards them to see if they are free to talk or engage. I will simply feel their presence in the room or nearby and bark an order or request at them.

I will yell their name. And again. And again. Even though they reply "What!" Then when they stop what they're doing in order to come closer to me and ask what I want, I'll say "Nevermind".

I will ask if we can do something 'after dinner' and when they say yes I will eat two bites of my food, declare dinner finished and stand next to them watching every bite going into their mouth asking 'are you finished yet' so that I can then force them to do said thing immediatley as it is now 'after dinner'.

I will leave light sabres placed at strategic points on the stairs and spray nerf bullets everywhere.

I will casually knock over my drink and not even stop what I am doing to tell them that it has spilled, extra points if it is right next to their brand new work laptop.

I will use their couch like a trampoline and helpfully 'clean' their bathroom while I am in the shower, by spraying the shower all around the room obvs. Their ceiling will especially need cleaned just like mine always apparently does.

Oh yes, the denials! I hope I will live long enough to go to my granddaughter's house, I will commandeer chargers, deny doing so then they will magically reappear on the kitchen table next day. I will do something with wax on the hearth, leaving the knife on the carpet, and deny doing it.

Small pieces of Lego especially on the way to the loo/ bathroom. Under the edge of sofa. Check up on next visit now thorough the cleaning is. Painful for bare feet!!. Eat all the biscuits, but leave the empty packet in the tin/ cupboard.

Adding because it happened (again) today:

I will make a full pot of coffee and then drink 2 cups. And not dump the grounds, clean the filter basket, nor clean the pot.

I actually do this to myself most days! I love fresh coffee but I hate clearing out the cafetière.

Oh the shame of it!! But seriously, if one is doing it to oneself, that's a different kettle of fish.

I hate cleaning a cafetière, too, so I don't use one. Ours is a drip machine so very easy to clean. Pull out the filter & grounds & dump in the bin, swish a little water around and you're done. But the wasting of 2/3 of a pot of coffee grinds my gears, too.

Leave crockery and cutlery dirty in my room
Mix up clean and dirty towels on bathroom floor
Leave empty carto s I fridge and cupboard
Make a sudden demand to be dressed as an Egyptian/ Victorian maid/ sheep / policeman just as I'm fully dressed and about to leave the house
Lose my shoes
Leave my coat and bag on the floor

Give them huge hugs and tell them I love them
Make themsurprise cups of tea
give them lovingly chose gifts and handmade cards for their birthdays
Compliment them a lot

@AcrossthePond55 I used a piece of kitchen roll and line a sieve with it. Pour everything onto kitchen roll let it drain wrap out grounds in kitchen roll give them.a squeeze and chuck in bin. Saves a lot of fiddling about and quite a tidy way of doing things

Drop crumbs everywhere.
Not seal food back up after opening it.
Leave greasy fingermarks all over windows.
Splatter toothpaste onto mirrors.
Not wash up properly.
Leave puddles of water, milk, tea and coffee all over the kitchen benches.
Leave lights on.
Eat all the nice food.
Ask for lifts everywhere, including at midnight.

Have a long shower, create a puddle on the floor and leave the window shut.

'Forget' to close windows when leaving their house when no one is at home.

Find their hidden chocolate stash and eat it

Ask them to cook me a meal then don't eat it, tell them to put it in the fridge and I'll eat it the next day. Never eat said meal.

Ask for lifts at extremely short notice and make them feel guilty they can't do it as they're working.

Drink straight out of the milk carton and put it back in the fridge empty.

Come in at stupid o clock, turn on all the lights and have my phone on loudspeaker mode playing TikTok when I come up the stairs.

Take over the bathroom for a really long poo then leave the loo dirty 🤢

Stay overnight and play on the Xbox shouting and swearing in the middle of the night.

Can you tell I've got a 21yo DS?

Love all these!!! They just crack you up! I am a teacher and love these things that teenagers do that are simultaneously infuriating and c endearing.

Drink straight out of the milk carton and put it back in the fridge empty.

The most frustrating is when they put it back with just a few ounces and when you call them on it say "But it wasn't EMPTY!!!". Ditto for saying "Please don't eat the last of the <insert food>, it's for leftovers/Dad's taking it for lunch tomorrow" and they leave 2 spoonfuls in the bottom of the dish.

Leave a banana in a bag hanging on the end of a bed.

Walk in, sit down, glue self to phone and not speak until it's time to leave.

Offer to wash the car, soap half of it, then fuck off on my bike to play football.
