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?

DP leaves toothpaste spit all over the bloody sink. Its like he has blindness towards it.
He also leaves whiskers in the sink after shaving, and the protests that he cleaned up

Women who do everything and pick up for everyone, and cook and clean and work full time, but still stay calm and sane.

How do they do that?

I would love to know how they haven't killed their OH by now. On the premise that he is one of the recipients of the woman's householding skills and sits back.

Nope

1 - When Dh has finished drying the pots he puts the damp t-towel over his shoulder and wanders off with it, I've found it in the bathroom, our bedroom even on the sofa. Why??
2 - Dh only washes the pots near the sink, doesn't wipe the work top, hob etc.
3 - Ds is incapable of emptying the bath water, clearly taking the plug out is a skill only I have.
4 - People who walk so slowly while shopping because they are focused on their phones.
5 - Predictive text.
6 - Socks left in "balls" around the house but never in the wash bin.

I'm feeling very twitchy now 😁

My list is endless
Not putting things straight in the dishwasher leaving in on the counter top.
Leaving a drip of shower gel in the bottle because your too lazy to put it in the bin
Skid marks down the toilet
Not changing the loo roll
Walking past stuff on The stairs
Looking in a cupboard then asking me when the item is before even looking
Shoes at the bottom of the stairs
Coats left on chairs in kitchen
Letting the dogs in without drying there paws
Toothpaste balls in the sink
Pee drops all over the toilet. I'm a woman so I don't know but if a man has peed all over the loo surly you'd know??
Leaving the toilet seat fucking up then I go in during the light put no light on and sit on the freezing cold pot
Fucking pisses me off
That is all

This is great. ^^

People who don't take shoes off Jim the house.

Putting dirty stuff on the drainer side of the sink - IT'S FOR CLEAN STUFF!

DH putting dirty work clothes on the bed.

People who press the door button on the train before the light is on. Sometimes repeatedly. It won't make it work any quicker!

And DH when he leaves the foil bit from the top of a new milk bottle out on the side.

-Toast crumbs in the butter
-Bits of butter in the jam
-Coffee granules in the sugar. Makes me stabby
-Empty toilet roll tube on top of the bathroom bin
-Dirty clothes next to the washing basket
-Bowls of milk left in the sink after eating cereal
-The pigeons outside my office that dive bomb my head. Hateful little fuckers
-The woman in my office who uses my tissues and doesn't ever buy a box herself
-DP being quicker at falling asleep (she snores )
-Audi drivers who don't know how to indicate
-My ex sending me a spreadsheet of the month with what nights we will have the DCs. I know when I'm having my children you controlling arse.

• People with a stinking cold who sniff rather than blow, so it makes that thick wet schlurp noise. Boark

-When people find out I'm gay "oh. My cousins friends brothers girlfriend's neighbour is a lesbian too. Do you know them?" -films on Netflix that look ace in the blurb but don't say they are in japanese/spanish/French with no option to change the language

Visitors- usually FIL- leaving a cup next to where they've sat in the living room, despite going THROUGH the kitchen to leave!

Mine are mostly tea and sock -related!

On the few occasions DH's socks make it INTO the washing machine, they are always in a ball so don't wash properly.

When making tea, he takes the tea bag container out of the cupboard, leaves the door open, leaves the caddy on the side, leaves the wet teaspoon on the counter top and the lid from new milk in the sink. The empty milk carton is left on the side! He also slurps his tea when it is red hot!

If there is any tea left in his mug, he chucks it in the sink and doesn't rinse it away, so staining the shiny plughole which I have just spent time cleaning!

How can we change them??

This.

The ONE thing that I can never, ever cope with, (and I am genuinely a very patient and understanding person) BUT might one day REALLY push me over the edge, is the BRAIN - DEAD MORONS - behind you in a long queue at a supermarket check-out, who PUSH their fucking trolley up your arse, in the moronically mistaken belief, that that will !"SOMEHOW" magically make the queue go faster, even though there are still four people in front of you! I have fantasized on many occassions how to deal with this.... the extremely violent outburst keeps coming tops!

I hate that too user Or people who are so close, you can almost feel them breathing down your neck. Usually I step a bit forward and look behind me. Very passive aggressive I know, but it's totally unnecessary. Really gets on my nerves.

When adults push and shove children.

Last week a mum of a child in my DSs class was late picking up her kid so went charging through the playground like a fucking tank barging into several little kids. My son is only little and she knocked him whizzing. Then she had the nerve to tut at him instead of apologise.

It happens frequently at his school with late parents and it really p's me off. If it wasn't for being surrounded by impressionable children I wouldn't hold back from exploding

I swear I am going to bin DH shoes. We have a box for muddy shoes in the porch. Every time I open the door his shoes are on the carpet. Or worse he wears them Inside the house, then stands them on a sheet of newspaper on our wooden floor at the bottom of the stairs. Eventually the shoes are moved or worn, but the newspaper can stay there for days.

When DH leave his underwear on the floor drives me mad; said washing basket only feet away. Also when dh leaves glasses and cups around house believing we have a domesticated magical fairy that collects them. Dh leaving crumbs on the bench. Gives me the major rage...

Oh and DH leaving shoes at bottom of stairs right out in middle where people can trip over them...

Dh trimming his beard over the sink drives me insane. Little shaggy hairs everywhere.

I'm going to buy him a cone of shame (the thing dogs wear to stop them licking after the vets) to do it one of these days...

I know one PP at least has said this. I hate it when my DH just plates or cups things in the sink and doesn't put them in the dishwasher. I also don't get why he wouldn't put them straight into the dishwasher, it doesn't take much more effort actually, and it makes the kitchen so much tidier.

People starting every sentence with "So" (grrrr)
Not pronouncing 'sixth' properly - it's now become 'sickth'
Teens saying 'like' every other word
4x4's with stupid bull bars
4x4's generally unless you are a farmer or have 6 kids

Dog shit on the school run. I hate having to watch out for it on the pavement as I walk to school with my DDs. We also get horse shit at times.

Sniffers. Someone mentioned it upthread. Why? why? WHY? can’t you just USE A HANDKERCHIEF AND BLOW YOUR NOSE FFS?

It's usually young blokes who do this as apparently hankies are for sad losers like me but I was on the train coming home last week and a normal, 40-something woman came and sat right next to me and sniffed and snorted and snuffled ceaselessly until I almost screamed in her face.

JUST CARRY A PACK OF TISSUES

I could agree with many of these,, especially laundry and DW irritations, I live with three males.

My current pet hate is not using the last of something before starting a new box or packet. What is wrong with the last squeeze of toothpaste or last handful of pasta in the bag? Makes me so annoyed.

Stuff that winds you up, how long have you got? And just to take this to a whole new level, I have actually got a Word document on my PC called "very annoying things", which I add to whenever a new one comes up, which is frequently. So here's a brief selection:

-“Slather”. A meaningless word made up by beauty editors.
-The dazzlingly bright, relentlessly flashing headlight of the cyclist coming towards you at night.
-Trying to find a sales assistant in a large DIY store.
-The car in front of you travelling at 23 mph when you’re in a hurry to get to work.
-People who say they have no regrets.
-Monitoring forms, questionnaires and surveys which ask you for your religion and sexual preference because ‘one of our operatives’ has come out to fix your boiler.
-When someone shows a huge interest in you over a long period of time, so that you eventually agree to go out for a drink with them. You drink too much and in a weak moment you have sex with them. Afterwards they disappear and never contact you again.
-The use of the word “hit” in the context of birthdays, ie, “when I hit 40” (usually used as a prefix to the sad confession that, “… I put on eight stone”).

-People who say “Pacific” as in the ocean, instead of “specific” as in the correct word.
-When you’re juicing an orange and the skin splits.
-‘Men’ who spit on the pavement.
-When the shop assistant says, “If it’s not out on the shelf then we haven’t got it”.
-People who showcase their illiteracy by putting an apostrophe in a plural, ie “orange’s” “MOT’s” etc.
-Spending over the odds on a fake tan product, only to wake up the next day looking as though a drunken geologist has painted orange isobars all down your legs.
-Alexa Chung.
-At the swimming pool, people who leave their clothes in a cubicle so that no-one else can use it.

-Tramps sitting next to cashpoints.
-The phrase “our prices are changing” when this always means “our prices are increasing”.
-The chewy, inedible bit at one end of a pineapple chunk.
-Those looped bits of thin ribbon attached to the shoulders of tops, which wrap around your armpits when you try things on.
-Adults who refer to their parents as “mummy” and “daddy”.
-The way Americans pronounce the word “mirror” to rhyme with “near”.
-Opening a box of matches upside-down.
-“Playsuits” - items of clothing which demote grown women with a living to earn to the status of toddlers in a sandpit. Can you imagine men wearing playsuits? No.

OK I'll stop there but I have literally hundreds more. And by the way, I drink my tea with the teabag in.

always the pessimist I can add another - people who loudly drum their fingernails on hard surfaces. It really pisses me off to the extent that I want to tear their fingernails off. Yeah irrational, I know...
