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?

People saying "There's nothing worse than ...". It's always something trivial, like warm champagne. I want to shout, "I bet a nuclear war would be worse!"

I mean he takes his shoes off and leaves them where they drop. We end up with about five pairs strewn around, I get sick of falling over them and end up taking them upstairs and putting them away.

My DHs "clicking" joints. Every time he gets up his bloody knee clicks, sometimes even his shoulder. I hate it in a huge irrational way, also the way he sneezes, it's so loud, he does like a big roar before the sneeze that makes me jump out of my skin. He has a lot of annoying habits, too many to mention.

People who leave teabags on the side rather than putting them in the bin.
People who think leftover food on plates doesn’t needn’t to be scraped into the bin, and just plonk the whole plate, manky food and all, into the washing up bowl.
Dirty clothes left on bedroom floor.

Turning the TV on and the hen not watching it.

It probably sounds a bit unimportant, but people who say Hache in stead of ache (as in the letter H) - it makes me cringe and want to bring out the dictionary.

And of course not changing the toilet roll - that's very inconsiderate. Don't family members remember there are others in the house that use the toilet too?

Oh one more, putting the rubbish at the front door to be taken out and everyone walks over the top of it, instead of taking it to the bin. Sometimes I feel like I'm the maid!

People who write on bank notes! Why just why??? If you must count mountains of cash use a rubber band, put in piles or just post it or paper. Why does everyone else who handles this note for YEARS want to see you have written a 200 on it. Gives me the mega rage.

When people try pull doors into flat before I’ve pressed the door open button. It makes a loud noise when I’ve pressed it but no some people just start pulling it straight away. (I admit I then make them wait extra 10 seconds) you know the door can’t open until it’s pressed, why are you pulling it.

People who can’t fold an a4 paper in 3 to fit in an envelope, so you have an extra crease about 5mm across the top. Why make more work for yourself?

OutyMcOutface, well there isn't much on TV for hens ...

Typo for "then", I presume, and I entirely agree with you!

People who leave cupboard doors open in the kitchen. FFS, you managed to open it when you were looking for something, can you not close it again afterwards? And don’t expect an sympathy if you then bump your head on the open cupboard door...

Empty toilet rolls! 4 people in my house & yet I seem to be the only one capable of putting those cardboard cylinders in the damned recycling!

You need toilet roll under lock and key. You will only dispense one if someone brings you an empty one.

People who check in on Facebook at hospital and then don’t tell people they’re just having a check up or pre op and everyone they know thinks something serious has happened. If you feel the need to tell us you’re at hospital then at least say why! Attention seekers! For that reason, when I check in at hospital (usually because I’m bored rotten) I go into way too much detail about why I’m there! I overshare because it’s good for people’s mental health! 😂

Catching oh drinking straight from the milk carton and then putting it back in the fridge I’m sure the judge will understand won’t they?

This!
If I catch any of them doing this I wait until the item, Cola, milk, whatever, is placed back in the fridge. Then I open the fridge in front of them and pour the entire contents down the sink.

They hate it as then then have to walk to the shop to buy more if they want it.

The thought of unwittingly drinking someone else's back wash make me feel sick.

It makes me irrationally mad aaaagghhh.

The other thing I have started doing is locking the door when they 'just pop outside' for x amount of time.

Which is usually not a quick pop, its sorting bins, washing the car, rummaging in the shed. Just going outside for fresh air.

They leave the front door wide open.

Not a crack, WIDE open.

Even at 7 in the morning when it's frosty. We also have a porch door, left wide open.

I've given up saying anything as all the central heated air rushes out leaving me freezing. I've started to lock them out or call them back to shut the door whist I'm stood next to it.

I once got up the turn the heating up after my partner had left the house half an hour previously, only to find we were heating the street again.

Wide open.

I think my gran called it ;
Born in a barn.

That's it, other minor irritations but nothing compared to those.

That was quite a rant, sorry.

How have I read this entire thread without reading hairs on public toilets! I can't say I'm always tidy down there but I'm damn sure to make sure if any fall out on loo it's cleaned up. It really puts me in a bad mood for a good while seeing other people's pubes!

Ppl buying impractical clothes for babies/toddlers: sleepsuits for newborns that don't open all the way down the front, fussy outfits, and dungarees for potty-training toddlers...

Or even worse - black toilet seats and pube dandruff!

My partner waits until I have cleaned the sink and then shaves his beard all over it. Little hairs cling to the top of the tap-🤔

Dp's total failure to store leftovers correctly. I do 90% of the cooking in our house-fine I've no issues with that. But when there's half a pan of curry left clearly it needs to be put in the fridge or the freezer. He just leaves it sitting out. Every bloody time.

DH filling the dishwasher but not turning it on.
DH taking out the bin but not putting a new bag in.
DH not covering food properly.

I have a few!
DH trimming his beard over the bathroom sink and not cleaning up.
He also goes into the kitchen and rearranges the dishwasher after I have loaded it cos apparently I "do it wrong"
DH leaving kitchen cupboard doors open?? I mean WTF? Who even does that?
Kids arguing in the back of the car "muuuuuuum he looked at me" "muuuuuum she flicked me"
DS has just learnt how to crack his fingers and toes (this makes me incredibly stabby)
The fact that I am the only person in the house who knows how to rinse the bath after using.
DH or DS leaving toilet seat up then when DD goes to use it I hear "muuuuuuum..... I've fallen down the toilet" (actually this one can be funny sometimes)
Incorrect use of there/their/they're and should of instead of should have
people eating crisps
The noises from all xbox games particularly gunshot and car noises. DS last week was playing a shooting game and eating crisps at the same time... I had to pour a gin.

Look up 'beard buddy' - got dh one for Xmas although he's shoved it in a cupboard and trimmed his beard several times without it

Kids or DH asking what’s for dinner as I put it on the table. Gives me the rage

DH and DDs complaining that one of the cats has tried to steal their food. Why don't you just make sure the cats are shut out before you put food on the dining table? It's not exactly rocket science!

Oh yes, that, @rachyrah DH and DDs both do that. Or if DH does the tea, he asks me what I've planned for it? Why don't you blooming well look in the fridge and freezer and decide for yourself?

And DDs saying, 'I don't like it,' that really annoys me, especially when they liked it previously.

People in supermarkets & shops who have no courtesy about space - I need to browse this shelf so I will leave my trolley blocking the aisle diagonally and make it as hard as possible for you to get round me! Makes my blood boil!!
