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?

This. DH washes up then tips the water into the sink and just. walks. off. Plughole full of chunks of food, greasy water won't drain, washing up bowl full of some kind of gritty shite and swimming in greasy cold water so is all slimy. Just foul and unnecessary.

Also any kind of mouth noise, chewing, slurping, lip smacking, weird dry clicking while talking. Any of it.

Man-looking is fucking annoying! Both DH and DS are guilty of this. Looks for something for about ten seconds, moan that they’ve looked for it for ages, and it takes me 0.00001 seconds to find the bastarding thing.

People who leave toast crumbs in the butter (My DS!)

Wet towels left everywhere. Stuff left next to an EMPTY laundry basket. I mean, 2 seconds to open a bloody lid!

Coming into the kitchen just after I’ve finished doing all the prep for a big meal and asking can they help with anything.

I obviously do not have the men in my life trained well enough...

Dp will start arguing with me over something we agree on i have actually screamed at him that i agree with him so why is he trying to make out im wrong and he's right wtf

(Sigh) the kids are guilty of at least half of all the things mentioned in this thread, and I have been training them, with electric cattle prods and promises of visits to Eurodisney, since they could crawl. I just hope that when they live with someone their training will somehow kick in...
Sometimes amusing though: DS aged 11 asks on a school morning where his pullover is. He is standing on it, as I left it on the floor where he left it, in the middle of the room, and when told looks bemused, looks down and round several times, and then says 'Where?'

On dishwashers, I recall a few years ago ROSPA reported that 5 people a year are killed by dishwashers. No details, but possibly folks slipping on wet floors and knives in vertical trays, blade pointing up ...?

Also if i ask him what he fancys for dinner he will say "food"
Whats the time? "Time big ben had babies so we all had watches"
How long will that be? "How long is a piece of strig"
How he is still alive i dont know

I have found my spiritual home

1. not taking the empty loo roll cardboard thingy from the bathroom to the recycling. They know it doesn't go in bathroom bin but chuck it on the floor behind the loo and leave it there.

2. not putting the bloody recycling out before it starts overflowing

3. splashing the window behind ghe kitchen sink while washing up and not wiping window with special window cloth. Limescale marks on windows are impossible to get off

4. not rinsing / wiping round the kitchen sink after use

Oh I could go on. Also

Sniffing
Nibbling nails

It's a wonder my DH is still alive

That's my sink!!!!

Ha!
Dantdmistedious
That's also my sink.

I also LOVE your name. Dantdm does my fucking head in

DP leaving teabags and wrappers on the kitchen counters instead of PUTTING THEM IN THE KITCHEN BIN.
No excuse either, considering the bin is directly beneath the counter he often leaves things on.

He claims he can't bend down because "he has a bad back"
I claim he's just an inconsiderate lazy tosser who really will end up with a bad back one of these days.

Not meant to be a biscuit, but DP is a bit of a troll, so perhaps appropriate.

'Date night and actually anything around the word dating. Creepy.

Scrapers- especially of the yoghurt pot variety. Stop it.

Putting dirty dishes and mugs on the side DIRECTLY ABOVE THE DISHWASHER. Just open it and put the bloody things in, you lazy sod.

Walking in and saying 'what's for dinner?'. I don't know, why don't you look in the fridge or the cupboards?!

Saying 'I've emptied the dishwasher FOR YOU'. Whaaat?! Why on earth has that become my responsibility? Last time I checked, we both created dirty dishes and mugs.

People that don't queue but just push in at the front like they're royalty.
Cars doing the same in queuing traffic.
Cars following emergency vehicles so they can get somewhere faster. Do you have no morals at all?!

Other people's rude kids. No, you can't just walk up to my child and snatch a toy out of their hand or push them over and think I won't say anything. Ditto throwing balls at my head or being rude to me. Try me.

This is wonderfully cathartic!

People (namely my MIL) putting used tea bags in a clean mug next to the sink instead of in the bin!!

Yep, she gets a clean mug out of the cupboard, puts it next to the sink, takes the tea bag she's taken out of the cup of tea she's going to drink and puts it in there. Why? What is she saving it for? I have no idea and I'm pretty sure she doesn't either. Just put it in the bin!!!!

She also leaves the spoon she's used on the side instead of putting it in the sink.

Infuriating!!

My dh scraping his pudding bowl,ffs there's nothing left!
My dh leaving the toilet wipes open so they bloody dry up
My dh whacking on the heater while leaving all the doors and windows open up stairs
........beginning to see a pattern here....

DH not rinsing the shaving foam off his face before drying it all over my lovely black towels. Makes them look like sh*t.
People scoffing cereal at great speed, slurping and crunching and talking with a mouthful of cornflakes. Makes me feel sick. Some people even used to do this in the office where I worked, and it was ever so distracting as I tried to go about my phone calls haha x

I agree with so many of these!!
One of mine is getting my cardigan pockets stuck on door knobs or kitchen door handles as I walk past - gives me the rage!!!

People pushing the kitchen bin contents down and putting more rubbish in it. So when I finally give in and empty it, I get showered with fucking uncle Ben's Mexican rice

We have a washing up bowl but HE often tips it out and does not wipe around the sink or clear the plughole so in the morning I discover a vom making plug hole full of vom making bits surrounded by a greasy sink ...

Shower is over the bath, he prefers showers, I love baths but always find it full of pubes and have to clean it before running a bath...

When I ask dd to close the curtains and she pulls one all the way across and the other a quarter across leaving a 10cm gap off centre. Makes us look like we live in a drug den

Customers at work who do that snot filled sniff where you can hear it all being sucked back up - one of the guards has also started doing this but I tell him off each time and offer him a tissue :)

Apostrophes in the wrong place.

Another 'at work' thing (although noticed in other places) is the excessive and incorrect use of myself/yourself etc. No I will not send an email to yourself if I need clarification, only you can send it to yourself! I think they're trying to sound intelligent, but...

And the people who get on the bus and throw their tickets away immediately, although at least they put them in the 'ticket bin'. I don't know why this winds me up but it makes me irrationally angry. I long for the day when a ticket inspector comes on the bus and fines them all.

Cooked the dinner for everyone. I had to leave to go to activities. Leave one job for my partner. Wash 2 pans. Come back assuming they’re done (he also has the annoying habit of taking them off the drainer, doesn’t put them away in the cupboard, but puts them back on the cooker) but even worse, I find them still on the cooker dirty

Bluelady what do you mean shoes upstairs? That has many layers of wrong to it.

People that park in the space next to me when there’s a half empty car park.

Those powerful Dyson hand driers that you put your hands into and move up and down. All they seem to do is spray water up my wrists, under my watch strap and give me soggy sleeves.

Lack of lane discipline on the roads as well as people that don’t indicate on roundabouts.

People that drive at 40mph everywhere...in a 30 limit, 50 limit and NSL.

People that allow their kids to run round restaurants/pubs, ride scooters in shops and generally have no control over them.
