To want DW to split her own T-bags

98 replies

JimNastik · 03/08/2012 20:52

Me and DW drink different tea, she has Earl Grey which comes in packs with the T-bags joined together in pairs and it pisses me off that she does not split them so when I come to make a cup of tea I usually have to split them

When I get T-bags joined together I split them all and put them neatly in my little tea caddy

AIBU to want her to split them?

Its the little things that make me cross
She does not fold the end of the toilet paper into a neat triangle after a shit
If she gets the milk off the doorstep she does not wipe its bottom when she puts it in the fridge
She never pulls the bedroom curtains on when she gets up last
When she sets the table she always puts my knife and fork on the wrong way round
She has never emptied the crumbs out of the toaster(I am not going to empty it and see what she says when it catches fire)
She never rinses out the bath after using it
I could go on

Am I being taken for granted?

Neither. But we draw or close them. Like everybody else. That terminology is south Yorks working class though.

Are you from Barnsley? Do you have newspaper covering your window?

Pahahahahaha

Scarredbutnotbroken · 03/08/2012 21:27

Bet he's the type who doesn't clean the loo though. Exp used to claim that shit stains below the water line don't count, whilst berating me for not splitting the tea bags equivalent

AbsolutelyNotHoneyDragon · 03/08/2012 21:28

Aaaaaw, I love it when an op lists all the little things that make a marriage work.
Dh's existence would be meaningless if I actually put lids on stuff properly and used the tooth paste properly.

Having a good night Olivia?

DumSpiroSpero · 03/08/2012 21:32

Here you go OP - problem solved Grin!

AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/08/2012 21:32

I hate it when my DH leaves his running trainers on the utility room floor.
I also hate the way he shucks his boxers off at night and then wipes his bollocks with them before he puts them in the laundry basket.
I never use his hair gel but it really grates on me that he always leaves the lid off.

There's probably a million more.

TiaMariaandDietCoke · 03/08/2012 21:33

Wine - for Olivia!

FeakAndWeeble · 03/08/2012 21:35

Ah I quite like him! Can we keep him Olivia?

AbsolutelyNotHoneyDragon · 03/08/2012 21:37

Uh oh Olivia

That makes me feel a bit sick

AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/08/2012 21:40

A prize at raffle eh?

Cherry lambrini going down well then I take it? Grin

AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/08/2012 21:42

It's not sickening California, just annoying, I forgot to mention he sort of pulls them down and then flicks them up into the air with his foot and then catches them.

He's a keeper. Grin

FeakAndWeeble · 03/08/2012 21:43

I won a vegetable steamer at a raffle last month Confused cherry lambrini would have gotten a far more enthusisastic reception...

Debeez · 03/08/2012 21:46

"Ah I quite like him! Can we keep him Olivia?"

Careful, it is this tone of voice from my DC that results in yet another pet.
Be strong Olivia.
