Stupidest thing you've lost your shit over? Mine is spoons.

[IncompleteSenten]

Just now gone to get breakfast (I know it's quarter past 2, I was busy) and the ice cream sundae spoons and the serving spoons are in the same section of the cutlery tray as the table spoons. I had a mini tantrum to myself because this happens every. single. bloody. time. I put the spoons away properly - teaspoons in one section, tablespoons in one section, ice cream spoons in one section, serving spoons in ... you get the picture.
Yet whenever anyone else unloads the dishwasher, what do I later open the kitchen drawer to see?
Huge pile of assorted spoons in the tablespoon section.
If you can out trivial-shit me, I'll be surprised.

To save you all some time :D :D
Is this all I have to worry about?
No. I'm also deeply concerned about the beans being in the peas row of my tin cupboard and the loo roll getting hung 'over' instead of the right way, which is under.

Why don't I just do it myself if it bothers me so much?
Fuck off. :D there are 4 adults in this house and 3 of them are doing shit WRONG and I'm not rewarding them by turning into the housework fairy.

Me and DP had a massive argument a few years back which resulted in me storming out of the house into town where I spent about £500 on new clothes to cheer myself up. All because the following happened:
DP was having a wee and I said I needed one as well so don't flush the loo when you're finished.
DP then decided he needed a poo and didn't let me do my wee before he dumped out.
So I had to hold me wee for another five minutes even though my brain had told my bladder that release was imminent. And I had to do my wee in the middle of DP's vile poo stink cloud.

Every. Single. Time. dh uses a tea towel or oven gloves he leaves them dumped on the side scrunched up rather than hanging them back up, or putting them in the wash if needed, or hell - draping them over the back of a chair.

SOMEONE (dh) is putting random plastic packets into the recycling bag. Our shit council will only recycle plastic bottles, cardboard, cans from the blue bins. I drop it into conversation at dinner time, "oh someone forgot that we can only have plastic bottles, cardboards and cans in the blue bin and shoved a Hula Hoops multipack packet in the recycling bag". and I want to kill them

As Take That wisely said, Everything Changes But You (dh).

Last time DH and I had an argument it was because he unplugged my phone from its charger and plugged in his instead. It's possible that I overreacted.

Towel covered in toothpaste marks after being told my partner to use a different towel to wash my toddlers teeth to protect his clothes. Like 0-100!

Probably when my boyfriend (now husband although why he married me after this is just beyond reason) gave me a can of Pepsi to drink and he didn't face the hole towards me meaning I had to turn the can around to drink out of it. I'm not usually such a diva.

OP at least you can find spoons. I think mine get thrown out with the remains of the cereal bowls or something.

I got really irrationally angry at the self service clothes tills in M&S.

DH lost it after 22 years together that I never throw away the empty toothpaste tube.

I don't think I helped matters by calmly picking up the offending tube and squeezing another brush worth.

I lost it with the school uniform website - but I'm not ready to talk about it.

The spoons! The cutlery drawer full stop! It's all organised and tidy, come dishwasher emptying all havoc breaks loose and all the cutlery goes everywhere and leaps into all of the wrong, carefully organised, sections.

Drives me insane!

I live alone btw...

Life is too short to get this het up over spoons!

We found a potato peeler in the compost about two years after we lost it.

I'm fortunate - DC have both been kept away from the dishwasher as toddlers and they think now being allowed to help empty it is some sort of privilege 😂.

DC1 is very earnest at ensuring all spoons and forks match up with their same size friends. Long may it last!

(BTW, the loo roll does go over the top)

DH and I share a bed but have separate, single duvets. Sometimes he only makes
his side of the bed.

This has made me furious. So angry I considered divorce. I screamed about how selfish he was.

I started HRT a few weeks later.

I got diagnosed with heart failure 2 years ago. About half the people dx with heart failure die within 5 years of dx apparently.

I remain committed to being insanely pissed off about spoons. 😂Which I think is impressive under the circumstances.

Oh this kind of stuff drives me insane.

One of the main things that really annoys me is both dh and Ds (aged 11) leave their dirty plates on the opposite worktop to the dishwasher when it’s full / running whereas dd (20) and I put ours on the worktop directly on top of it so it’s easy to load and to see what needs to go in. It’s not fucking hard!!! Told them sooooo many times and they both still bloody do it. Makes me want to throw their plates out the window.

Crumbs in the cutlery drawer. Close the fucking thing if you're buttering toast or making a sandwich and can't manage to keep the ingredients on the huge chopping board. I may or may not have taken this morning"s offending particles and placed them on top of DH's incredibly expensive Mitchell Transcriptor turn table ..he was warned.

I feel your pain. Everyone of those things are things I have been upset about (read lost my shit) in the past, and will probably continue to do so.
Something else is the things on the stairs. They are on the stairs because they need to go up next time someone goes. How can DH walk past his own clean laundry on the stairs?? I can understand (although feel it's unacceptable) not taking DDs or my laundry up, but his own pants? I know we have a top notch laundry fairy but FML

Please don't leave a sopping wet sponge in the sink.

Give it a squeeze and put it on the side to dry.
Because IT GETS STINKY. I am not being bossy-just right.

I am looking at you DH

I lost it at ubereats for delivering the wrong cat litter and not actually saying before delivery. If it had come up they couldn't find it I would not have requested the shit (and cheaper) replacement they gave me but a refund.

But no, they said they found all my items in my order, delivered said order including shit cat litter (that the cat won't use and which kicks off my asthma)

So I put in a dispute and they refunded only the price of the shit litter. I then had to reorder the correct litter but pay extra delivery fee etc so ended up paying more than I should have because of their fuck up and you can't even speak to a human on the phone. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I'd already had a shit day and emptied the litter tray completely when the driver was nearby, so needed fresh fairly urgently.

I'm irrationally cross just even thinking about it now

We all live with annoying people, don't we?
I also drive my lot up the wall in oh so many ways.

Anyone seen the 'mum' series on fb by richard franks? Bloody brilliant. Particularly the finding stuff one and the stuff on the stairs one.

Recycling. We have a plastic box next to the sink to deposit recyclables in until it’s full and goes in the recycling bin.

Aside from the non recyclables that are in there, things are tossed in without being rinsed and the space is not used effectively. I also call it The Leaning Tower of Shite because only one of the adults in this abode (me) EVER transfers it to the outdoor bin. If I happen to go to work or go out for a few hours, I return home to find a precarious tower of assorted tins, cardboard and cartons resembling Mount Bastard Fuji that require stomping and sorting and several trips to the big bin.

I’m quite relaxed about a lot of things. Not this.

My ex once took a mega step to go upstairs because there were things on the steps to go up. (His things) he then informed me he didn't know where they were to go.

So I showed him their new home.

Inside the bin. He said that I couldn't throw his things in the bin, I retorted that as he didn't know where they should be, someone had to decide and I'd done that.

Have teens so list is long.

Leaving house without keys (repeatedly) meaning I have to schlepp from attic office to open front door

Leaving lights on when leaving a room often multiple lights

Not clearing up kitchen after snack making session

Leaving coats and shoes scattered round kitchen instead of hung up / put away.

I could go on.

I also get irrationally cross when whenever my mum or dad come to visit, they will kindly take their cup out to the kitchen, and then proceed to put it on the CLEAN side of the sink.

I can't even moan at them because they were only trying to help but why is it so difficult to put their used cups next to the other dishes to washed and not next to the clean drying rack? (I live alone, I do one set of dishes a day because that is all that is needed so there is always a plate and a cup/glass from breakfast on the dirty side of the sink)

Aaaarrgghhh!
