Tiny things that make YBVVVVVU

[Crapuccino]

Guest came over at the weekend. Tipped out the last of the cup of tea she’d made for herself into the sink as we were saying our goodbyes, aong with the teabag. Left the teabag sat there in the plug hole.

Right. There. In the plug hole.

I know, I know, who cares, just fish it out and throw it away when she’s gone, but I momentarily had visions of stuffing said teabag up one of her nostrils in revenge.

Help reassure me that I am not alone in my insanity. What tiny, ridiculous, non-things give you the murdrous rage?

Work surfaces not wiped down.

Minging soggy dish cloth left sitting in the sink.

Bikes in kitchen.

Yeah… way too many of these are resonating for me.

Insanity confirmed.

OMG don't get me started....

1. walking past stuff on the stairs...it is yours and it needs going up fucking stairs!!!!!!!!! TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!
2. Pen clickers, stop it, just stop it now.
3. Noisy food eaters....nothing else to be said
4. Door slammers...the door has a fucking handle, turn it and close it quietly please!
5. Loo roll - when it is empty replace it
6. At work - put your dirty crockery in the dishwasher people - don't dump it all in the fucking sink half full because someone else has to fucking move it to use the fucking sink!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. When the dishwasher is finished empty it - don't then put your newly dirty dishes on top of the clean dishes (at work again)
8. People who don't turn off their indicators.
9. People who sigh loudly but when asked what is wrong reply 'nothing, it's fine' - stop sighing then!

10. When DH washes up at home (we don't actually own a dishwasher at home) he puts the spoons facing UPWARDS - so all the water pools in the spoons and leaves a mark! I mean really.....

I am sure I can think of more

People who put on their rear fog lights at night when there is NO FOG.

Also with the poster about people putting dishes into the washing up bowl. NO NO NO set them on the side and let me organise them the way I want to.

DH holding food item ( in box in hand) and asking how do you cook it. The instructions are on the box but I cannot read them from 5 feet away!!!!!!.

And the classic DH opening cupboard asking where is a certain item and you go over and it is directly on front of his eyes

People who write on fb "omg can things get worse" "really mad right now" "I can't believe this is happening to me" then bugger off without filling in the rest of the picture! Drives me mad! Either tell people what's going on or don't, don't just attention seek!

I use rubber gloves to wash up, DP does not. But I have to store them well out of the way when not in use otherwise I find them screwed up and wet in the sink!

I take back my previous contributions to the thread, this is the one that really gives me the rage!

Hair in the basins of the ladies toilets at work. The design is that the only mirror is behind the basins, so people brush their hair over the basins. But they don't check for any 'fall-out' which means the next person to wash their hands, is faced with individual hairs scattered in and on the basin. Horrible. As toilet matters go, it's probably one of the more hygienic annoyances, but still drives me mad!

Oh and chair scrapers.

Op, this would drive me nuts.

When FIL comes to stay, which is rare thank god, he makes a design on the top of the peanut butter with his knife - like a twirly pattern. Every freakin time.

This makes me want to repeatedly stab and destroy the twirly pattern. It's irrational how angry it makes me.

People who feel the need to push the stop button on the bus after it's already been done. When I am Queen all second and subsequent pushers will receive an electric shock.

I'll just leave this here (I hope the link works). It's brilliant:

Chewing gum. People chewing it with their mouth open or even visibly chewing it with their mouth closed - it's drives me INSANE. I hate the smell of the warm artificial mint permeating from their gaping maws

the fact that I am the only member of my family who puts their socks in the washing machine. So not only do I have to do it if they are put places I dont see them I often end up with odd socks at washing day.

Also how on earth do they wander around with no socks on in the cold!

DH who asks me every night what's on TV tonight?? What am I the bloody walking Radio Times !

Dried toothpaste on the tap where the water comes out. Only me and DH at home now and I know it’s not me, so he’s either putting his mouth round the tap for water to rinse the toothpaste out , or cleaning his brush by rubbing it against the tap in the flow of water. Apart from how gross it is and me having to clean it off, drives me nuts that he keeps denying it.

My partner takes off his socks after work when he sits on the sofa, he puts them in a pile on the carpet if I don’t tell them to move them a bigger and bigger sock pile will appear over the week! It’s weird, he’s pretty tidy and good at housework in all other areas but the sock pile is his blind spot!!

Also can’t stand..

Noisy eaters

People who comment on your food (usually dieters telling you how much fat is in it etc, just because you’re climbing the walls on the keto diet Sandra doesn’t mean I’m going to stop enjoying my baguette)

People who have no sense of personal space and stand too close

Oh lord, Amonk3ysButler, I had a chronic one of those on FB and her own sister one day replied with the attached pic. I nearly snorted my breakfast into my lungs when I saw it. (I’ve since unfriended. She was emotionally exhausting.)

DP goes out to the kitchen to make toast.
Looks like 25 people have been out there

When people leave the used washing up water in the bowl and it goes cold and there are bits of grease and food floating in it and then the bowl needs cleaning.

She drank the tea with the tea bag in it? —misses the point—

Everyone dumping their plates, cups etc, on the worktop above the dishwasher- when the dishwasher is empty!

Had enough this weekend, I refused to put anything in the dishwasher. Just let it build up. By Sunday afternoon 'mum there's no clean plates!'- wash one up then. 'Mum there's no bowls or spoons!'- wash one up then. 'Mum there's no glasses left!'- wash one up then. 'Mum when are are you doing the washing up?!'- I'm not, I'm just doing what you all do, and am waiting for the faries to do it

Sunday evening, it took three of them an hour, to load the dishwasher, and wash up everything that could not fit in.

Wet towels. In heaps. On carpets. On MY SODD(ING)EN BED. Why does on teenage girl need to use 24 towels per bath??? I swear she tips all the bathwater out and then attempts to dry the floor with them. I feel stabby just thinking about it.

Americanisms becoming the norm here:

• pissed instead of pissed off
• take out
• stroller
• day care
• play date
• date night

And another. People who use my rubber gloves and get water inside them. Just no.
