I know I am. Stupid little 'jobs'

[WinkyisbackontheButterBeer]

I've just gone to make a cup of tea and realised that it means opening a new 4 pinter of milk.
I was unreasonably pissed off at this.

The cap hurts my hand and I hate pulling of the stupid, silver seal then having to throw it away.

I have no idea why this upsets me so much but it made me realise that I although I will do it. I am stupidly annoyed every time I have to and if that if I can find a way to get dh to do it, without actually telling him about my unreasonable dislike of the task, I will.

It made me wonder... is anyone else pissed off by anything as ridiculously small and insignificant, or am I alone in my unreasonableness?

Maireadplastic I've got one. I still struggle. Bastard ice

Filling the steam iron with water.

Shodan I agree with you I HATE HATE HATE IT

Covering leftovers and putting them in the fridge. I can't tell you why, I just bloody hate it. I usually ask dh to do it.

I am glad some posters mentioned Weetabix packaging. Why or why is it so difficult to design an easy mess free way of releasing a Weetabix.

Has anyone, ever, in the history of supposed convenience food, managed to unwrap a Dairylea cheese triangle without leaving half of it behind in the foil?

Dairlylea not sure but I can do the laughing cow ones.

I need a wee but the trousers I’m wearing have a double button, one inside the waistband, which I can’t be bothered to undo.

I don't fasten the inside button on mine. Problem solved

or you could try to grow a penis or get a shewee? :o

I love cooking and baking, but hate washing up.. Which often leads to an internal struggle as to which will win out!!
Although I did today switch with ds his share of the dishes for emptying the litter trays (nasty smelly job!!)

I shouldn't of read this! Now I am nodding my head and crying with laughter. The children looking at me oddly. Me saying 'just you wait' Dark Arts indeed!

Emptying dishwasher; opening the milk; packets that are meant to reseal; reorganising the fridge so I can put something in it as the children/husband have used halve of something then shoved it in fridge.... the list goes on.

Wrestling & wrangling DC’s car seat. I live in a hot country where it can reach 40degrees + in the summer. Contorting myself in the back of a blistering hot car while trying to sort the frickin thing out gives me the rage 👿

Going to the shop packing the shopping scrubbing out the water filter

I hate cleaning or washing something and finding a hair, which will always wrap itself round your fingers. Also cleaning hair from the plughole.

Thought of another one..

We were gifted a gas range cooker with an 8 burner hob from my parents. The hob has a kind of ledge around it.. So the burners are in a kind of dip. I honestly wished we had never accepted it and just thrown it on the skip. I HATE HATE HATE cleaning it! Firstly you have to take out three cast iron grates and put them on the side. Then you have to try and wipe around the circular metal round things on the burners without them falling and clattering off. It's also so difficult scooping out crumbs or spillages due to the ledge it gives me the rage to the point that whenever anyone goes near the hob, it sets me off screaming "DONT GO NEAR THE HOB!"

The other day DH made fried eggs on toast and dripped egg white trails on the hob. He couldn't be arsed cleaning it or being on the receiving end of my wrath so he just draped a tea towel over it.

And breath....

guestofclanmackenzie I used to have a hob like that too. All the grid bits to remove, then then mental disc things that rattle and fall off.

I replaced it with this thing of beauty

I buy Cravendale milk, the 2 pint ones as I live on my own. They don’t have the silver foil inside, just the plastic cap.

You need this! Or just use kitchen foil.
Makes cleaning gas hobs easier.

Ah yes ArDali. But personally I find wiping round the hob part the easy bit. Now, cleaning the racks...

Now how about cleaning the cooker hood for a lovely job? Or, come to think of it, getting any of that sticky greasy gunk off imitation wood finish cupboards? You know the stuff - the remains of the grease that didn't come off last time you scrubbed it with steel wool and God knows what corrosive chemical that destroyed your gloves and probably your lungs and skin as well but left bits of this stuff stuck like glue in little balls on the cupboards around the hob. It's enough to make you want to set fire to the lot and claim on the insurance...

Not that I would. No, no.

HaH Winky, me too😡

Emptying the food waste bin and grating cheese for my daughters sandwiches. Hate them both!

I can relate to so many of these . Can't believe no one has said this already - and apologies if I've missed it - but I can't stand hand-washing any item of clothing. Worse. Job. Ever. It surely can't just be me, can it? Can it..?

I hear ya Babooshska, which is why I’ve now given up on actual hand washing and only use the hand washing cycle on my washing machine, with a splash of delicates detergent.

Oh yes, GallicosCats it really is the racks that are a pain.
Although oven pride rack cleaner thing is my best friend, makes your racks look brand new after using it!!!
Then I just try to keep on top of it.
