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?

You are a bit of a tart arent you?

Tart and tea.

Sounds like the name of a tea shop.

We do need a yawn emotion

That's the second 'my wife is rubbish' troll we've had today. There was the other troll who thought his wife was a lazy good-for-nothing sitting at home all day with nothing to do except care for a 3-week old baby.

Must be a slow Friday night out there for the divorced men sitting in their bedsits studio apartments, mulling over their hatred for their exes...

AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/08/2012 22:02

NapaCab tbf that thread was a lot different in tone to this one.

There's been lots of moaning about the silly little things your partner does on mumsnet, doesnt necessarily say it's a troll.

But then again we do seem to be being invaded this evening so who knows, if you try reporting to mnhq your concerns they'll be able to see if there's a link between this and other trolly threads.

"

I especially liked this one, is it a code? Triangle = ive just had a shit square - it was just a wee?

Lucyellensmum99 · 03/08/2012 22:08

a really good fuck makes me feel like custard

OlympiaMumsnet · 03/08/2012 22:08

Oh, no lambrini
Lovely bumper pack of smellies, toys and books.
Q pleased actually.
We left the party early as had to get smalls in bed and come and look after you lot and apparently won another prize which someone kindly put back on my behalf. (gutted)

INDEED

ObviouslyItsTheOlympics · 03/08/2012 22:12

Well is it really so bad to have a thread about tea bagging? It's Friday after all....

AbsolutelyNotHoneyDragon · 03/08/2012 22:12

Good haul Olivia.

I still have a ginormous bottle of Bailys from the school raffle in the cupboard. Buggered if I know what to do with it all though.

Debeez · 03/08/2012 22:14

"£300 house for a lizard?"

Yeah, they need loads of space, lights and heaters, golden logs to scratch on etc. Lovely little things though, he'll grow to about a foot maybe a bit more. Very social, like cats, just massively expensive.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/08/2012 22:14

DRINK IT WOMAN! are you insane?

TeamGBIWI · 03/08/2012 22:18

I had the worst hangover ever from Baileys after this New Year. I was doing the 'last time I can drink this before I start my diet' and managed to way, way, way over do it.

Never again.

Pour it down the sink.

AbsolutelyNotHoneyDragon · 03/08/2012 22:19

ABF
In regards to your first sentence I do not imbibe alcohol
In answer to your second query, I couldn't possibly comment Wink

MoonlightandRoses · 03/08/2012 22:21

Or, if not drinking it, either

  1. Pour it over ice-cream - chocolate or vanilla is best
  2. Send it to me!
AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/08/2012 22:23

I'll pm you my address send it to me. Wink

AbsolutelyNotHoneyDragon · 03/08/2012 22:24

Dh won't let me send it away. He states it
Might be useful Hmm

MsVestibule · 03/08/2012 22:27

Ferret - my DH does exactly the same! Kicks them off, catches them, wipes his nads and throws them on the washing pile! Even worse, DC(3) has started kicking his off too (he was well chuffed when his soaking wet pyjama pants landed in the bookcase) even though he has never seen DH do this Confused.

OP, I totally get where you're coming from - but TBF, we could all start a thread about our OH's annoying habits and then we'd have no room for all of the essential MIL, wedding, car parking and table hogging moans.

FeakAndWeeble · 03/08/2012 22:29

Honey I'll swap you for a vegetable steamer if you like

Krumbum · 03/08/2012 23:05

Is this a joke? Those are the most petty complaints I've ever heard! Me and my partner both don't do those things. they aren't things that need doing.

Debeez · 03/08/2012 23:19

My DP is amazed at the boxers off, flick and wipe action your partners seem to have going on. If he adopts this style I will be back to play merry hell with you.

In the meantime I'm going to get him a Mumsnet account as he is more obsessed with AIBU than me. Hmm

UterusUterusGhali · 04/08/2012 10:44

"Are you telling them I'm a Sex God".

Chortle Grin
My DH says that while I'm MNing!

gothicangel · 04/08/2012 10:49

leave the bitch, how dare she!
