to be so angry about something so totally trivial that my heart is pounding with rage?

[HecateGoddessOfTheNight]

and despite the fact I had logged off, I have logged back on again just to rant about it?

AND I have quite possibly ranted about it before anyway?

AND in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter?

putting pans and mixing bowls in the wrong place.

Yes. That's what it is. I have just gone into the cupboard to get a pan for the veg. All the pans are piled up inside each other. About 3 pots up - the plastic mixing bowl.

Every. Bloody. Time.

I have to take everything out and put the plastics on one side, put the pan set in order and the big pans on the other side.

and Every. Bloody. Time.

Himself just makes the one huge pile on one side, of everything. Open cupboard - sling it in.

I feel the red mist right now. I could ruddy swing for him.

Every time, I tell him PLEASE don't do that. PLEASE put them in their proper place. Look - THIS is how they go. Can you see?

And every time he says yes, ok, fair enough you freak

AND THEN HE PILES EVERYTHING IN THE ONE BLOODY SODDING FRIGGING ROTTEN DAMNED BLOODY SPOT

Yabu, at least he tries to put them away!

I do this ,open cupboard ,sling pans in
open cupboard to get pan ,pans all fall out

YANBU. Help has to be helpful or it is irritating. We have similar issues over folding the wasing and it does indeed make me foam at the mouth too!

YABVVVVU.

Get a grip

At the risk of getting typed to death by an angry OP

Why is your way the right way and his way the wrong way?

I do that too. Then get angry with myself when I need something out of the cupboard!

Leave the Bastard! Or hit him with all the pans that are above the plastic bowl to teach him not to do it
DH does this (reduces me to apoplectic incoherent snarling spitting fury) by reading the paper and then putting it on the sideboard and leaving it there so I feel your pain Hecate.

Hecate - do you put clothes away in drawers for him or is this something he does? Perhaps you could apply the same approach to that?

I told you it was trivial and really doesn't matter at all. I did tell you!

worra the very idea.

My way is the right way because his way you have to wrestle about 20 pans and bowls out of the cupboard, prise them apart to get to the one thing you need. My way, you are only dealing with maybe 3 or 4.

And NEVER plastic jammed inside pan. Never.

I do this to DH, are you him?

If you are, darling, as I have often said and will reiterate "Do the feckin dishes yourself then you anal control-freak"

ah, mistle, it wouldn't work. He wouldn't care. He's annoyingly laid back about stuff that really doesn't matter at all

at plastic mixing bowl.

Honestly. Priorities, woman

Walks slowly backwards out of thread...maintaining eye contact all the way

This is precisely why frying pan related crime is on the rise. Never used to be a problem in the olden days when the menz came home from work and were given their pipe and slippers while wifey did all the cooking and cleaning!

Deep breath... One... Two... Three... And have a

YANBU. I TOTALLY know what you're saying. I get annoyed if anything is not in its proper place. Because my way is the right way. Why? Because I do most of the cooking and frankly, I don't like having to hunt for things for ages in my own kitchen

HA! Jane have I outed meself as common as muck

Sorry, but I can't talk to you unless you've got one Mason Cash product.

you need to have a proper melt down about it in front of him, cry, sob, tears down your face, snotty nose, the works. In between sobs make it clear that you think he's doing it to make you upset, why would he do something no knows upsets you???

He'll be horrified (esp if you aren't normally a 'crier'), he's never do it again.

He's gone for a bath now.

It's carnage in me cupboards. oh, the humanity.

I can nip up and throw my hairdryer in there, right?

not without plugging it in.

oi jane - I've got a plastic measuring jug too.

mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha

I'm grinning at the thought of breaking down hysterically about the pots in the wrong place. I may do it for funsies

Now, if you'd been all mental about putting plates away in correct piles/cupboards I would have been with you all the way..

Plate fits snugly over previous plate with no overlap = good

Plate dangles or is stranded in porcelain island = bad

But pans? ffs
