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.

Cake. I can't remember the exact circumstances, but me wanting cake whilst pregnant, ExH being ungracious so I said nm, then he tried to pull the martyr routine and I lost my crap....
I blame the pregnancy.

Tbf, that was also the pregnancy that set the scene for my only other almighty loss of self control which was when I screamed and shoited at some cunt in Waitrose who stepped into the queue in front of me and toddler DS. Fuck me I made a scene. In hondsight I'm half embarrassed, half proud of myself... he definitely deserved it, but I made such a tit of myself.

9 times out of 10 if you open the end which doesn't have the use by date on, and is usually white and without the logo of the medication, you will open the packet and not be met with the leaflet. Doesn't always work, but most of the time it does

If you buy Waitrose own paracetamol they open on the top rather than the side and the leaflet is always on the bottom. Worth the extra money IMO

I've just tonight, lost my shit big time! Resulting in not so DH storming off upstairs! I came down after a lie down, horrible migraine, to find him watching Big Bang Theory... Now don't ask me, because I really don't know why, but it totally enrages me when it's on the TV and I cannot understand why he watches it! It's not funny at all and every single character is irritating! (When it very first started, my friend raved on about it so much, I thought I'd give it a watch. I managed 20 minutes, then turned it off! Didn't get it at all!) 🤷🏻‍♀️
So I came in, saw it on yet again, said oh ffs, not again... Which resulted in him turning the tv off, slamming the remote on my table and saying, I'll go watch it upstairs! I said good, as I can't stand it, he said and I can't stand you moaning about it!!! And off he went... Peace reigns supreme!!!
The thing is, if he comes in and I know I'm watching something he doesn't like, I'll at least say, I'll have a look and see if there's something else on we can both watch. He never pays me the same courtesy, so I won't bother in future! Rant over, thank you for listening! 😁😁😁

Well you're obviously completely UR @MoonWoman69 because TBBT is brilliant!

Not sure if you're being lighthearted or not, I hope for your DH's sake that you are - but if not, that was a complete overreaction!

So, obviously we have a lot of spoon experts on this thread, so can anyone tell me what either of these spoons are for? Found while clearing MIL’s house, but never saw her using either of them. The tip of the one on the left bends backwards slightly, but I don’t know if that’s by design or it just got bent.

The never ending odd sock pile

When my mum was a nurse just after the war, someone gave the children’s ward some lovely counterpanes with pictures of animals on. Mum got in trouble with the ward sister because she used to put the counterpanes on the beds so that the pictures were the right way up for the children in bed to see them. The sister thought they ought to have the top of the picture at the pillow end, so they looked right for visitors.

I think the one with the is it mother of pearl handle is a preserve spoon and the other one might be a berry spoon. Or maybe just a serving spoon with a nice pattern.
I'm probably wrong though.

We know this. It’s a thread about irrational and light hearted

The other week I bought some bananas for making some banana loaf. The small one dropped one in the snow when we were putting the shopping in the car, so it got a little bit bruised. Cue my husband asking asking at least a dozen times over the next 3 days when I was going to make the banana bread. It had been a busy weekend and so I hadn’t had time to making the godforsaken banana bread and I was tired of his asking. Was he going to google it and figure out how to make it himself? Was he heck. It was like the pin had got stuck on his record and I lost it. Threatened to smear the bananas on his side of the bed and followed that by binning the lot. Before anyone jumps on this, I have never thrown out perfectly good food before.

No banana bread was made that week.

Hmm sun on the side of my bed so the pillow is top. Bought a duvet cover with Wisteria on it. They hang down - always feels a bit wrong

@RustyBear - as a student nurse, back in the 1980s, I remember being told, by the sister in charge of the Children’s ward, that your mum’s way of doing it was the right one - the pictures on the bedcovers should be for the children’s benefit, not the visitors’.

I'm thinking of laying a new patio or rearranging the compost heap. My husband insists on squidging the washing up sponge and washing up gloves behind the tap instead of draping them neatlyover the side of the sink....

@TwigTheWonderKid Next time you see that heartless oncologist, give him a thank you card and the message inside should be "Would you want your wife, daughter or mother to be given that news in that way in a b....corridor?"
I rarely swear, but I'm so angry on your behalf....

Would you believe it..

I've just gone to open a box of new medicine and I actually want to open the end with the leaflet in this time so I can read it.

Only bloody open the end without the leaflet don't I?

ABSOLUTELY RAGING you couldn't make it up 😂

Something just now - partner wanted to use 3 tins of tuna in his pasta for dinner. I told him that was extortionate amounts for one dinner and it wound me up beyond belief.

Taking something out of the box and it doesn't go back in the way it came out

Reminds me of the time years ago when my son’s year 3 primary teacher decided to inform me of his ‘misbehaviour’ in the middle of a corridor with a class of children in the open-plan library. Not on the same level of callous as this example, admittedly, but definitely something to lose it over.

(DS is at university now, which gives me some satisfaction).

The above has just reminded me of something also not so trivial. DD's 16th birthday I had promised her some highlights and booked an appointment at a local salon. The hairdresser sat her down for the initial chat, was looking at her hair and said, IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE SALON, Sorry I can't do this because she's got nits. They could have taken us quietly aside but no. DD burst into tears and ran out, I spent the rest of the day helping her with the nit treatment trying to cheer her up. Fuckers. Needless to say we have never darkened their door again and I give them the side eye every time I walk past 😡

#cheesegate
Christmas Eve 2019. DH came home from work at about 6ish which I didn’t like because Christmas Eve, but wasn’t his fault. What was his fault was that he proceeded to turn the TV up over the sound of my Christmas music and then ate most of a block of the fancy cheese. I told him that was selfish as there wouldn’t be enough for me to have a bit. He pointed out the second block of identical fancy cheese. I may have lost it at this point and shouted that the second block was GUEST CHEESE for guests. Then the dog got at the mince pies I’d been making peacefully before he swanned in and ate all the cheese, I shut my finger in the door and I decided all this was enough to warrant divorce.
I have never been allowed to forget #cheesegate. We are still, somehow, married.

@IncompleteSenten....love your user name!!

I'm now overly invested in your toilet roll comment.....the only way to have your toilet roll is so that the toilet rolls comes from the top of the roll and is in front of the rest of the roll.....please tell me you mean this??
