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.

I CAN NOT be in the se room as DH when he's eating breakfast as:

• Breakfast is for wimps
• mornings should be spent running round shouting "where are your shoes"
• he cuts his toast in to twee triangles
• he goes back to the butter dish I'm not joking about 10 tones with a "clink clink" noise
• he wants to lose weight so shouldn't even be having that for breakfast.
• literally sits there while there's a nuclear war around him, munching NOISILY

I have to time all morning activities so as to not be near him otherwise I...I ...just can't be held responsible for my actions

that's a A DAGGER in your heart for ever

well, now I need to buy even more spoons.
I didn't even know a boiled egg spoon was different to a teaspoon.

I do have a sugar spoon somewhere for the poster that mentioned it. and a christening spoon whatever the hell they are. I wasn't even christened. It belonged to my grandma.

I did have cake forks but they got lost when we moved.
Also misplaced a rocking chair during that move. Gutted doesn't even cover it.

My sister asked me how the hell I managed to lose a rocking chair. I don't know what to tell her.

Table spoons are what you use to measure a tablespoon of ingredients when you are baking. You can use them as serving spoons, but your proper serving spoon is a smidge bigger still.

I am so pleased I'm not the only one with a teaspoon hierarchy.

Loo roll definitely goes under - not only does it look neater and give you a minimum of 3cm cubed extra useable space in the room (virtually doubling the size of my bathroom), but I once went to grab some 'over' roll and my knuckles lightly brushed something tickly and cold...it was giant spider hanging out behind the over bit of the roll like it was luxuriating in a paper bedouin tent.

Beware what lurks behind the roll.

@Luluem it’s heartening and poignant and awful all at once that life goes on in all its pettiness. Hugs. 💐

I have special spoons that I bought that I use for breakfast/treats. DH and MIL keep taking them out and using them for cups of tea. I complained about it and husband said 'well they should be kept separate then'. Pointed out they are kept f*king separate to all the other spoons. So moved them around as apparently where they were was too easy for them to be grabbed and they still get used.

Also putting my special cake forks in the dishwasher when I've pointed out they shouldn't go in dishwasher and need hand washing. I've given up now as no one pays attention but me and one is now silver instead of gold and another was going that way so might as well all be the same colour.

Also I need to stop now as I can feel this becoming a huuuuge rant 😂

We have blankets in the front room, dh and kids use them, then just leave them either on the sofa or they end up on the floor.

JUST FOLD THEM AND PUT THEM BACKKKKKKKK!

Honestly I fold blankets more often than I care to admit

"You're not supposed to put a soup spoon in your mouth. You're meant to scoop the soup into it pushing it away from you then shrink it from the side. Yeah, I don't know how that works for chunky soups."

Mate, I'm not aristocracy

Sorry OP but the correct way to hang the loo roll IS 'over', not under. lol

My mum has 2 magic spoons with the single corner. I asked for one when I left home, she refused

I have many annoying habits however DH has more. One where I may have lost my shit hormonally was when I asked him to buy me some uncle Ben's chicken rice, because the 2 mins required to heat it up was the maximum length baby DS could manage without screaming, so I could pick him back up and actually eat something resembling lunch one handed. DH bought plain boiled own brand rice. Because it was cheaper. Cheapskate. Never forgiven

Putting books on the shelf incorrectly, ie: spines should all be facing out and so the pages open to the right. My family have a habit of chucking them on the shelf any old way

You need to get him one of these squeezy thingies!

Obviously, the toilet roll goes over! Sheesh.

I am locked in a secret battle with an unknown colleague at work. They, for reasons that will forever escape me, hang the toilet roll 'under' and I will always switch it to the correct way. This happens daily. Quite frankly, it's the only reason I go to work.

Many years ago I left the house at 0630 for work. DH was on leave and decorating the front of the house. He took baby DS to the childminder. I had a long, stressful and busy day ( police custody sgt)
I collected DS at around 1700 and arrived home. I went upstairs to the nursery ( box room!) to change DS's nappy to find that DH had sanded down the paintwork on the outside and inside of the room without clearing it out, or covering up anything first. The cot was covered in thick dust, as was everything else including baby clothes in an open wardrobe.
I was somewhat cross and asked him why he had not cleared out the room. He answered that it would have been more work for him.
The red mist descended even more and I genuinely thought I was going to kill him and end up back in the custody suite I had just left. I was incandescent with rage.
Several years later this incident came up when we were recanting stories of the rage with friends. I flew into another furious strop when DH stated that he didn't remember this incident at all.

Leaving laundry on the stairs for the next person to take up. I put a pile of folded towels on the stairs. DH steps over them and goes upstairs.

I hear the shower running.

He's comes back down - takes ONE towel and leaves the rest.

In the section next to the jam spoons

This is why I don't have a bread board and we just use chopping boards which go in the dishwasher.

Table spoons are what you use to measure a tablespoon of ingredients when you are baking. You can use them as serving spoons, but your proper serving spoon is a smidge bigger still.

They're literally the 'table spoons' intended for serving at the table, and aren't necessarily 'tablespoon' sized. For measuring accurately you need proper measuring spoons. These of course are kept in the drawer below the cutlery drawer with other small gadgets and utensils.

Hi mum, I didn't realise you'd moved house 👋

This is a reason to bring back hanging.

I cannot abide when people make the beds with the duvet the wrong way up. Many of our duvet covers have plants on them and since the pillow is effectively the sun, the plants have to grow towards the sun. And for those that dont have flowers, the buttons are scratchy and shouldnt be by the sleepers head. My family just cant get it and toss their duvets back on the bed willy nilly. ITS JUST WRONG

Oh - I want to meet your mum, maybe she'd like to join my spoon discussion group.

I distinctly and embarrassingly lost my cool with DH and DS1(9) over the fact that they opened up yet another box of cereal when there were possibly already 3 opened. I had bought this extra big box to take on our self catering holiday and they had already been munching their way through other things set aside. It's like DH becomes Jamie bloody Oliver when the fridge and store cupboard are full, forgetting that the holiday home requires a map and patience to get to the supermarket.

But me yelling in the kitchen about cereal whilst in my dressing gown with a hair mask on isn't a good look. Give me strength!
