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?

I absolutely hate having to slice or grate cheese, to the point I won't ever buy it in blocks and I don't like ready grated cheese much as I always probably irrationally feel like it tastes strange.
This means I hardly ever get to eat cheese in toast even though I love it.

I can't explain why I hate it either doing it either.

Babooshska I had exactly the same thought about hand washing today as I was angrily wringing out dd's fury teddy bear coat. I mean who designs baby clothes that are hand was only? Clearly someone who has never met a baby, never mind changed one into its third outfit of the day.

The grated stuff does taste different Summer. I believe it's coated in potato starch or something to stop it sticking together.

I never hand wash. Hand wash/silk/wool machine settings have always done the trick. I even have a 'fashion' setting.

LOVE this thread.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned those bloody pump press down thingy's. Such as on hand wash plastic bottles.

How the fuck are you supposed to open them??!! Seriously! There must be a secret that I've not been told. I use soap now. The last one I had was launched at the bathroom wall. Yes, of course it bloody opened then, and took hours to clean up.

When I'm doing the washing and I find DH has left a pair of trousers with one leg inside out. ONE LEG. I don't know why it gives me the rage but it does. I wouldn't even mind if he left both legs inside out. That would be acceptable behaviour. And the pants are always attached to the stupid wrong leg.

I've thought of another one - trying to work out how to fold my breastfeeding tops. My youngest is 2, so I have been wearing a variety of tops with hidden boob flaps for a long time, but still, when the bloody things come out of the wash, I am incapable of working out which bit is flap, which is the rest of the top and how the two go together to resemble a wearable item of clothing. I have learned not to try and 'throw' one on from the laundry basket in a rush - it took me three goes and I somehow managed to have it inside out each time no matter how much I wrangled it in between.

Duvets/covers..... AAARGH

Food bits at the bottom of the sink and very in another room cleaning around the base of the loo, around the floor, and on the back of the loo itself - where no one touches but it always gets mucky, dusty etc. No idea why I don't like the base of the loo.

Finding tissues that have gone through the washer or dryer and having to pick bits out 😩

Also I hate the gunk on electric tooth brushes so I try and teach my lot to rinse and dry these brushes after using. Does anyone listen? Nope.

I hate ‘cleaning’ things that never look clean and new. Case in point, the oven 😜💨 We rent to it has never been sparkling but I hate it, I hate it. It WILL NOT SPARKLE!!

Also the hall and kitchen floors. We have a dog and even after hoovering (with clumsy Henry) and steam cleaning with zoflora it NEVER feels clean.

Folding clean washing. Bore-fest and the angle makes my back ache.

Drives me potty. First world issues and all. I don’t have to wash my clothes in a river or anything so should just be grateful etc etc!!!

There are so many more but these are my 😦😳 jobs!

Awesome thread btw.

Someone mentioned going for a pee in button trousers, what about a Jitesh mosquito/playsuit.
Sure it's in all the magazines but to take the bastard off for a quick wee

I hate dusty and dirty skirting boards. But I also hate cleaning them.. With a vengeance.

What are they there for anyway? Who the fuck invented them?? What's their purpose other than to gather dust... ?? to inflict even more pain on the already painful task of keeping a family home plus dog clean??

Honestly keeping my home clean (to how I'd like it to be) is like rearranging the chairs on the Titanic.

Trying to clean my expensive & totally shite Specsavers glasses lenses. I swear the coating, which I forked out tons for, is specially designed attract all and every passing molecule of grease, dirt & crap that’s floating past my eyes. I wipe them at least 10 times a day. They need more attention than my 5 year old, who can make them smeary just by looking in my direction. And can I lose this pair of really expensive glasses? No I cannot. They’ve been giving me the rage since 2015! Specsavers NEVER AGAIN 😡

Going to get a tin of tomatoes and realising it is a value tin and you need to use the tin opener.

Corned beef tins with the little fucking key

Not being able to fit the potato masher in the drawer

Ready meals that say peel film and it won't peel so you have to go round it with a knife

Cutting toenails and they ping all over the place

...and probably many more! Unlike a pp though I LOVE putting shopping away. I like arranging it neatly, moving bits around to make room and folding up the shopping bags into rectangles.

Cakeforks, I was infuriated by that too. They so often refuse to open and dispense soap.

I gave up and forked out for proper soap dispensers for my bathroom and downstairs toilet. So now I just open the whole bottle of handwash up and pour some into those. They work. I might have gone insane otherwise.

I also get irrationally annoyed knowing that the clean laundry needs folded (why can't it do itself?), or the bathroom bin needs carried downstairs and emptied.

Grrrrrrr.

Picking up bits of packet, food and wrappers off the floor. The whole bending effort. It really fucks me off
For a second

Someone posted earlier about hoovering and the cord not being long enough to get to the last bit of the room... I would rather just not hoover that bit of the room and generate a small mountain worth of dust than have to unplug the hoover and plug it in closer to the offending area.

Also hate hate HATE doing multiple trips. If I can't physically carry everything I need through to where I need it, it stays where it is.

Putting things (particularly washing) away. My washing stays in the tumble drier until I need it.

I'm very lazy

I also really hate the texture and feel of cheese. I really enjoy eating it, but I just can't bring myself to touch it! My mum actually bought me a 'cheese gripper' one year so that she didn't have to grate it for me anymore
