To ask what things do people do in your home that annoy you?

[Penguinonesie]

I'll start; we do not wear shoes in our house, that means they get taken off at the door, none of this "can I just pop to the toilet?" Business, no bloody take them off!!
Please do not let drop horrendous gut farts in the bloody hallway so that every time I move from one room to the other I want to vomit.
And please stop touching stuff when you haven't washed your hands!!
Please note I am OCD diagnosed.
Oh, and talking to me when I am in another room to you, I cannot hear you!
I wish people would respect the way that our home is, if you don't like it then don't come over.

Family members who drop by unannounced then say "oh your house is a bit messy isn't it". No shit I'd have tidied up if you gave me the decency of telling me you were coming plus it's a tiny little place and the baby drags his toys out all over so of course it's messy

When SIL and DCs visiting, I will be just getting dinner out of the oven/mashing potatoes; DC says they are hungry, I reply with something like 'dinner will be ready in 5 minutes', SIL appears, DC says I'm hungry, by this time I am putting food on plates; SIL opens fridge/pantry and grabs something to give to DC! When I repeat I am just dishing up, SIL just sort of shrugs. Then spends the whole of meal time trying to get DC to eat what's on the plate!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

The shoes, the older dscs have yet to learn to take their shoes off, the younger 2 always take shoes off. Most people take their shoes off but I let the engineer keep his on as he was working inside and outside every 2 mimutes :-)

People who arrive and look in my fridge to see what I have in there they can eat and then say it's like Mother Hubbard's cupboard in there. Yes Dsis I mean you and there is a good reason for that, I go shopping after you have been so you can't eat an entire week's food in one sitting!

Oh and people who sit and pick their ears, nose or both and then flick the contents on the carpet.

Taking when I am in the other room drives me demented, I am partially deaf and have trouble when I'm next to someone let alone through a wall!

I have a particular family member who comes round goes to the garden and stomps his fags out on the floor and leaves tbem, I complain every time. I have pit out ashtrays and I make them go out and pick them up before he goes and he still bloody does it

People taking their shoes off when they come to my house! I have not got carpets downstairs, I don't want their sweaty smelly feet on my floor. It's bad enough in the winter, but in summer when women are wearing sandals... keep you damn shoes on as I am telling you to!

People touching my things, or nosing around. That very rarely happens to be fair, but who would look into somebody's bedroom if they have the most basic manners?

I love people just turning up, and visitors that clean 😂 I've had a shitty few months and my friends often just turn up and make me a cuppa and crack on with any washing up or laundry folding.

Just do what I did @Lionroar and make your home a completely smoke free zone. No more fag ends or stinky people transferring their stench onto your soft furnishings!

DCs friends...
Close the door
Stop trying to hang out with me
Stop leaving your school bag in the middle of the lounge floor
Stop going into my (very messy) room
Dont just help yourself to our food
Stop being cheeky
Stop crashing around (the poor neighbours hearing all the noise)
Just go away...

Don't get me started! Visitors who invite themselves to stay at short notice and then complain about everything. They treat our house like a second home, taking over the tv, phone, DDs bedroom, parking space etc and won't listen to anything they are asked to do like take off shoes and put medication out of sight/reach....ok it's ILs and they are getting on a bit so we put up with it but a bit of consideration wouldn't go amiss!

Some of you have very weird friends and families

It must be very draining to be so full of angst all the time.

Everyone is welcome in my home (as long as they don't bring animals) minor irritations can be ignored because they aren't staying, and bad behaviour from adults or children is dealt with swiftly with no ambiguity.

We never wear shoes inside our house. FIL will never take his off and DH 'doesn't notice' and won't say anything making me look like the picky one. People who take off shoes on arrival but then bring shoes into my lounge to put them on when leaving.

DF immediately making himself sandwich and tea on arrival without asking or offering anyone else food or drink and not using a plate.

Taking my neatly folded hand towel off the rack and putting it back unfolded...why? Why would you do that? OCD tendencies here too.

Taking my neatly folded hand towel off the bathroom radiator, using it and then bunching it up and sticking it back on the radiator.... Aaaaargh just why?

Stroking one of our cats even when I warn them that she is unpredictable and will lash out if you stroke in a manner unacceptable to her.

Not taking shoes off. Surely, everyone does this in their own house so why not in others '?! And yes to people letting their unruly kids jump on furniture and run around upstairs so they're in all the bedrooms etc. Just rude.

No, many people do not remove their shoes at home, unless they are covered in mud or really filthy. Plenty houses do not have carpets,but perfectly washable floors. It sounds like such a fuss, if your kids go in and out constantly, they have to take their shoes off every single time?

I can't imagine having friends for diner and asking them to remove their shoes. I hate taking mine off, I am freezing.

my father in law lights up a cigerette everytime he is in my house and when challanged about it he says he doesnt give a shit and that passive smoking never did anyone any harm in his day.

I'm very laid back cos I have a messy house and I smoke, but not indoors and this would really annoy even me. I'd be spraying air freshener all round him the minute he put the cigarette out, and if he complained Id said I don't give a shit.

Wow! I'm guessing most people on here don't really like visitors in general?!
I love it when people come round, whether unexpected or not.
My house is generally a tip, but very welcoming.

How can peoplw avoid touching your sofa?
How can you get worked up over how people shower?
What if you make really shit cups of tea and visitor was being polite?

The only thing that has annoyed me recently is when mil came to visit, she dryed my dishes and put them away. It took me 3 days to find the cheese grater!

seeyamonday can't decide if u are taking the piss out of me or u are a soul mate!

When I say please don't stroke the cat she bites and they go straight for the cat like they are the cat whisperer and complain when she bites them.

Oh god, if people wear shoes in my house they generally do not get an invite again.
My father inlaw visits, but he isn't allowed upstairs to the living room, he doesn't have the good grace to remove his shoes and got an oil stain on my carpet a few months after I moved here.

Oh and, I did think that the ultimate sin was the shoes, but people who believe that because I have an ensuite that they can use it, because they don't want to go downstairs to the loo. That seems like the rudest thing anyone could do in my home, as if prancing through my bedroom is acceptable!!

If anybody lit a cigarette in my house they'd be doused in water in short order, regardless of who they were.

I have anxiety, I do not like drop-in visits. I can barely handle planned ones to be fair, so unexpected visits are hated very much.

Wearing shoes in the house.

Picking bits off cakes that have not been served yet. Just wait a minute, you'll get a slice!

FIL. Washes up by hand and clutters up the draining board with said items.

WE HAVE A FUCKING DISHWASHER WHICH WE FILL THROUGHOUT THE DAY!!!!!!
