What stupid little inconsequential things do people you live with do that enrage you?!

[Fraca]

I live with adult Ds. By the kettle, I have a spoon rest with, unsurprisingly perhaps, a spoon on it. I leave the spoon there all day because I use it to stir my tea. In the evening it goes in the dishwasher. Adult ds knows this.

And yet, Every Time I go to stir my tea, my spoon has gone! Every. Time. I mean, tbf, I've probably only mentioned it a million times so I expect I should say it a bit more often. This morning, the absent spoon has catapulted me into a seething raging murderous mood.

Like I said, it's the little things ...

Leave their shoes right behind the front door so that I either can't open the door when I come in, or I fall over them and have to move them.

You might need to buy more teaspoons?!

DD2 uses a tablespoon to stir her tea and leaves it next to the kettle. It’s not the spoon ‘leaving’ that annoys me….it’s the fact she uses a tablespoon!!!!

DH never pushes his chair back under the table…that bugs me.

Yes! I do the same thing with a spoon and someone always lobs it in the sink.

We have a bit of a shortage of teaspoons (where do they all disappear to?) so I leave one out on the spoon holder. It’s always gone, and some fucker has usually left a soggy teabag in its place.

Putting virtually empty bottles of milk/ketchup/orange squash/etc back in the cupboard/fridge. Why? Theres tiny drop left, not enough for anyone to do anything with. Stop it, it does my head in.

We have a bit of a shortage of teaspoons (where do they all disappear to?)

We also have a shortage of tea spoons. Then we discovered that the parrot was picking them up off the draining board and chucking them in the bin next to it.
The reason this happened was because dh and the dc never shut the lid of the bin which is my annoying, inconsequential irritation.

DH is a poodle kind of human.....he'll step over things rather than pick them up. Usually left on the floor by himself.

There are just some things that don't occur to him.

When my DH finishes washing up, he doesn't squeeze the water out of the sponge, so it sits there stinking of stale water.

Leaving loo seat up
Always leaves few grains of rice in bag ,same pasta,half mushroom, slither of ham/ cheese etc and all gets put back in fridge/ cupboard,drives me insane! What is that all about?

We have Nice Cutlery that lives in a canteen (wedding present) and is used at weekends. DH will remove the cutlery when emptying the dishwasher but then leaves it on top of the canteen when it would take literally 10 seconds to open the lid, insert the cutlery into the slots, and close the lid again.

Wait silently just outside the bathroom door if someone is using it. As in, inches away from the door. Just staring at you as you open the door.

I had to laugh this morning when 12yo jumped at 10yo doing it... they find it fraky when the other does it, but do it themselves...

My mother used to leave the grooming brushes lying around all over the yard when we had horses. It was my job to look after them (this was my late teens) and the yard was consistently spotless, everything had its place, then I’d get up for a competition and be rummaging around in the virtual dark at 4am trying to find where the bloody plaiting bands were or why my favourite body brush wasn’t in my tray. Very first world problem! Now the horses are gone my mother just steals shit (clothing she can’t fit into mostly), which is slightly less of a minor irritation.

DH black sock fluff! Probably can't be helped but jeez I am so fed up of picking the damn stuff up off the carpets in the bedroom!

He leaves an empty loo roll on the holder.

Also leaves water around the taps when he's home from work and washed his hands in the sink - they're wood worktops and ideally should be kept dry.

Puts his dirty pots on the worktop ABOVE THE DISHWASHER !!

I'm going to stop now.... work to do and I could easily be here a lot longer.

Omg this makes my blood boil.

DH:

• either can't or won't learn which recyclable plastics go where. It's simple - hard plastics in our recycling bin, soft in a bag taken to the supermarket each week.
• either can't or won't understand how the Amazon Firestick remote works, but refuses to check with me, so I sit there for ages with him squinting at it and cursing.

🤬

DP always requests receipts from shops (even just a loaf of bread from co-op) then leaves them on the mantel piece. He never does anything with them, then I have to ask him if I can throw them away. I've suggested he puts them somewhere else if he needs to keep them safe, but nope the fireplace is the place for them.

I was NOT happy to open the drawer to this. None of the dishwasher-emptying people in the house have owned up. But it hasn’t happened again since the Great Telling Off

Fry eggs 5 minutes after I’ve cleaned the hob. Almost every bloody time.

Oh, I could write a thesis 🤣

• DP cleans up the kitchen after dinner, we have a mat under the high chair, when I go to lay it out the next morning and the floor gets scattered with crumbs and bits of food he has folded into the mat from the night before.

• when he gets home from work and leaves his shoes next to the front door then when I get in I can't open it properly carrying the baby and 10000000000 other things.

• never picks up the shower mat after his shower.

• bleaches the toilet after a poo and just expects it to completely dissolve the skid marks and when it doesn't just leaves them there for days.

Oh the list could go on...

Husband won't put pots away when they're obviously dry on the draining board, he washes up and puts the wet pots on top of the dry pots 😡

Councils that refuse to jet wash underneath bridges or busy walkways so things just look filthy and unkempt when a yearly jet wash would make grim places look a hundred times better.

Wrong thread 😖

Normal behaviour on a teenager, unacceptable in a grown up.

I’d come home (through the side door into the kitchen) and the first thing I’d see would be a tub of margarine on the worktop with the lid off, a knife resting in a deep gouge in the margarine and toast crumbs surrounding the tub.

When I pulled my then boyfriend up on this, he’d mutter “bastard!” sarcastically, as in, only a bastard would do such a thing. But for goodness sake, how long would it have taken to put the lid back on the margarine and put it back in the fridge?

Tea slurping and big horrible food or drink enjoyment noises. Sip of tea gets a horrible exaggerated "Aaaaaaahhh!" Every single time, food gets a "hMMMhhhMmmhh" or "uuuuhhhhhh". Inconsequential but it just gives me the rage.

DD one of her jobs is to empty the bins from all the rooms. She never, never puts an empty bag in them afterwards.
dh half washes the dishes. He will wash them but they’re still dirty…
Nobody in the house can see clutter. At all. It just stays there unless I move it

I'm afraid I haven't got all day to list all the annoying things the 3 other adults do in our home.
