People who are doing it WRONG

[GloGirl]

My Dad loves to talk about how he enjoys a good barbecue in this weather, once he even invited a lot of family round for one.

His version of a BBQ is a George Formby grill (natch), and in nice weather he plugs it in outside to cook a burger or sausage on. He is quite evangelical about how clever it is to barbecue that way.

It gives me the gritted teeth rage.

Just though of my dm again she hates me saying sit in. As in dinner is on the table will you please sit in.

She also doesn't like thanking you.

She hoped when dad passed that would be the end of those phrases but I was 13 and well skilled in dadisms.

I also have nothing against double carbing, lasagne and chips, pie and chips, bolognese and chips, noodles and chips, Chinese takeaway and chips, gnocchi in sauce on a jacket potato, curry with rice, bread and chips, kebabs with chips and noodles and jacket potato with chip curry sauce and gravy but I am rather northern.

Also from my dad bacon on crackers, double cream and banana on cornflakes and salt and vinegar ridged crips with sardines in tomato sauce.

She describes my eating like a scrawny student who has no idea where there next meal will come from. She also worries about me putting butter on everything before spread and putting butter in coffee and on plain biscuits not ginger nuts or cookies though that's extra thick cream.

So does dh but he likes sandwich spread and toast toppers that is a far more worrying wrongness.

Oh and I'm under 9 stone so no worries to the NHS, I'm not doing any harm.

What about chip butties that's double carbing heaven

My husband also points with his middle finger. AND he eats any bits left in the Teflon frying pan with a METAL spoon. But what is ALL WRONG with loads of people is that they put the food on your plate instead of letting u take as much or as little as you want.

Using firelighters to start a barbecue. The burning fuel smell of next doors barbecue is wafting through the house - surely no-one wants that taint in their food.

I would always have chips with a Chinese takeaway, but never with an Indian takeaway. I love carbs but you don't need chips with naan bread and poppadoms.

Double carbing is bliss at times.

Special fried rice with chips and sweet & sour sauce.

I think a lot of people have taken no. 8 to heart www.weetabix.co.uk/downloads/Great%20ways%20to%20enjoy%20Weetabix.pdf

Anyone who points with anything other than the pointer finger should have the offending finger bitten off by a velociraptor.

I am still feeling queasy at the thought of a mashed potato sandwich. It sounds like a choking hazard. GOOD!

My DH insists on putting the pasta into the pan of cold water then heating it up when we all know the water should be boiling first. He is banned from kitchen because of this.

How can you use the offending sentence starter with such a benevolent name MrsGently?

My dh had one of those Nokia's for years and years. We saw it on display in a museum and our dc fell about laughing. He even carried on using it when the number 1 stopped working so he struggled to dial any phone numbers. But that didn't matter because apparently it had a superior battery life.

Another thing that I find very wrong is anyone else wanting possession of the remote control. No - it is MINE back off.

Omg have you seen the thread where a "fresh scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and pot of tea" was served with squirty cream, those plastic pots of orange marmalade, a cup of hot water, a teabag and UHT milk"?

The righteous indignation. What utter, utter bastards.

So I guess not to many here eat baked bean sandwich (white bread buttered, add beans. Vinegar optional...yum yum).
I also drink tea with nearly everything I eat (except curries-tea tastes a bit weird) ????

???? was meant to be a smiley face ?? :-)

Obi did you really type butter in coffee? Really? Oh god I feel faint.

Sit in? never heard that before. Dinner is ready, sit down or sit at our sit up to the table.

Depends how long your arms are , or how wide your back is! Not to mention how small the hooks and eyes are!!! Doing your bra up......that is!

Mmmmm just realised that conversation has been and gone! Sorry folks.....one step behind as usual !

I've only ever put my bra on by putting my arm in the holes and reaching beck to fasten. This swivelling malarky is a whole 'nother universe. And I'm a bit jealous at people's need to rearrange their norks, as being the proud owner of two fried eggs, mine need no arrangement whatsoever.

DP puts butter on his croissants, WRONG!!

Partner likes to dip his toast in his tea

WRONG

I know the conversation has moved on, but I love my gas barbecue. There is no better way to cook pizza.

Pointing with a middle finger? No No No!!

I like a bit of double carbing but only with pasta - lasagne and chips is my most favourite "I'm starving" food.

My biggest gripe ever is going for a meal to someone's house and they serve a delicious hot meal on a cold plate. This is a hanging offence. My dear old Mum used to have her plates warmed in the oven until red hot and I'm going forward with this.

Every time that mobile advert comes on that says it can TWO WHOLE DAYS without needing a charge, I think of my dads old Nokia 6210 that needed charging about once a fortnight. It had a personalised name plate at the bottom.
Sigh. And I remember spending ages typing in my own ringtones!
My mum refuses to upgrade to a smartphone, despite me telling her she can get one with the same OS as her tablet.
Except she only uses the tablet to play card games.
Doing it wrong? Very much so.

I went to a BBQ last summer. The dad out a tin foil on the BBQ, folded the sides up and put oil in it. He then fried the sausages in the oil. Then the oil caught fire.... Just grill them on the BBQ?!

May already have been said but people who bunch up a wet wipe before using it, you're wasting half the wipe!

Using firelighters to start a barbecue. The burning fuel smell of next doors barbecue is wafting through the house - surely no-one wants that taint in their food.
Initial smell is indeed very unappetizing but surely by the time the coals are white/red and ready to cook on the smell for the firelighters is distant memory.
Saw a tip on using pringles to light your bbq instead, now that is a good use of a fake crisp.

Just watched dh cook s fry up all wrong.
He does the eggs first then just leaves them on the side. They go cold! Just yuck.
He fries the bread. Imho thats wrong, fried bread is nasty, but he likes it so he has it.
Only then does he cook the bacon. By the time he brings it all to the table, most of it is cold and rubbery.
He is also utterly incapable of filtering out any distraction from the dcs. My 4 year old will want to talk to him, he will get distracted and then instead of fried bread he has two squares of carbon. This is then my 4 year olds fault.
And he wonders why I just have cereal.
