Anyone else's husband play washing up buckaroo?

[avocuddl]

He stacks the draining rack so high aibu to be annoyed by this?!

He also has the inability to actually wash everything, there is always a spoon or something left unwashed in the bowl. Grrr!!

Nope. We had an agreement at the start of living together than whoever cooks does wash up.

In fact after living together and him doing most of the washing up for 13 years, with me only doing some when he cooked [and usually he only cooked when I was late from a day travelling with work] so he would do the washing up as well] - we redid the kitchen last year and he now does all the dishwasher loading and emptying.

DP doesn't but I do. Actually drives me mad that he doesn't as then he just leaves random things which i then have to wash up myself!

I do it! My DP says I'm playing washing up puzzles!

I stack high, dh cant complain because he hardly do any washing.

My drying up most closely resembles the game 'Diplomacy'. As I dry, it spreads itself gradually beyond the draining board, gaining control of exciting new territories such as by the kettle and on top of the microwave.

Mine does it with the dishwasher so nothing actually gets clean. It gives me red rage because it then all needs washed again. I'm losing patience with his martyred 'I do housework' pish when he's really just wasting his own time and mine.

He likes a very thick tangy tomato drink but doesn't realise that dipping a glass into water doesn't constitute washing it.
He also doesn't realise that plates etc have an underside that also need washing.

HaHa what a funny thread,yes washing up Jenga
Had a flat mate at uni did that,all piled up,bits hanging precariously
I am black belt at packing a dishwasher efficiently,moving stuff about like a Rubik cube. All efficiently packed to utilise space and load
Meanwhile..dp will heaf in a pot and few items in like an object d’art. All space out and switch on

My DH doesn't clean the sink out after washing dishes. Drives me mad seeing peas, bits of onion etc in the plug hole 😡 It's my biggest pet hate!

We have fridge jenga! I never ask captain diagonal to put the shopping away as I know nothing will be laid flat and if I open the door it’s a full on weapons assault with bottles, vegetables and containers being fired out at me!

Mine does dishwasher tetris, he hates turning it on if there's still room for even the smallest item.

My biggest pet peeve about my husband is the way he stack the dishes! He stacks the draining rack ‘backwards’ so that instead of everything sitting up nicely nicely it collapses on top of each other.

But then he is the domesticated one out of us two so I keep my complaining to a minimum.

YES! Mine. It's like Jenga.

Yes (although stuff is properly washed).

My nice French serving dish slid off the buckaroo pile recently and made contact with the unforgiving ceramic tiled floor. Shattered.

I play recycling bin Jenga. It's one of dh's chores to empty the bins, if he doesn't do it I pile it up. It bugs him as it's harder to take everything out to the outside bin, but of me kept on top of it it wouldn't be a problem. Mind you I think it's even as he leaves dirty laundry all over the house so I have to play laundry hide and seek. Fair's fair!

Yes! Or he used to before we moved and have a dishwasher now.

Dishes Tetris was how he described it

Priceless thread,packed with funnies
I never ask captain diagonal to put the shopping away as I know nothing will be laid flat

dishwasher tetris, he hates turning it on if there's still room for even the smallest item I’m afraid that’s me that is. I can’t stand the acres of space and items placed like object d’art

Hahah plastic container kerplunk! That also happens here!

Oh and he's also banned from packing the car now since the last time I opened the boot and it all fell out cause it was ridiculously packed. We didn't even have much stuff he's just shit at Tetris clearly

Mine does all of these things!

The dipping of glasses without actually washing them makes me want to smash them into his face.
Draining board Jenga
The dishes are never clean. I can forgive a little bit here and there but if I can tell what was eaten off the plate, or see lip marks on the cup, IT ISN'T CLEAN!! I'm vegetarian, I don't want to be eating off plates with bacon grease on them
Fridge Tetris (inevitably pushing something, usually the lettuce or something equally as delicate, right to the back and it freezes)

And my favourite....
There's always something that "needs to soak" (aka never gets washed up!)

DP just doesn’t do it

Ah yes, laundry hide and seek - or 'hunt the tissue left in the pocket' as it is known round here. It used to be 'hunt the tenner in the pocket' but he got wise to that one

I do. I stack them high. Drives DH bonkers.

Omg. BIN JENGA. That's what we have in our house, mostly with the recycling bag, it drives me fucking insane.

No. Mine just covers the entire countertop in water instead. His attempt to wash the dishes are the reason we have a dishwasher.
