It’s another chester draws thread...

[OccasionalNachos]

I have just discovered that my DP of 11 years - so far always seemed like a fairly decent adult man - says ‘Chester drawers’. Specifically, I was asking him where some paperwork was and he said ‘in the top Chester drawers in the spare room’

This has never happened before.

AIBU to leave?

is ur chester draws in your bed room with your on sweet with the toy let and bee day

I keep seeing posters using none instead of non, it's a new thing,I've only noticed it happening the last few months or so.

My OH always says words wrong differently and it's drives me mad!
But recently the worst was when he said 'proNOUNciate' instead of 'pronunciate'.

Oh the irony 🤦‍♀️

It's rediculous.

It's not that whacky really and it's perfectly obvious why people translate the sounds they hear into this particular phrase.

After all, if you can have an Axminster carpet, a Panama hat, a Venetian blind, and a Bakewell tart then why on earth not Chester drawers?

I’ll bet you brought them in a lovely shop, too.

It's a close call between Chester draws, a chimbley and my absolute pet hate, "his" for "he is".

My DH can't spell. He once sent me a text telling me I was his sweatest love. I nearly LTB.

During an office move, I once had a colleague refer to her drawer unit as a "pedal stall". It was scrawled on a post-it note and took me a few seconds to work out.

Colourfulest

There was once a guest on This Morning who kept saying "pronounciation". She was on there giving tips on how to speak correctly!

My DH says 'nitch'... it took me a while to understand he meant 'niche.' We had a conversation not long after where we agreed that I speak English to our children, and he speaks Arabic. Simply wouldn't do for them to pick up such things.

It drives me fucking insane.

SIL says Mataland for Matalan and Car Booty for Car Boot Sale.
Grrrr.

Are you defiantly sure he said Chester Draws?

I may have to go for a rest bite after reading these

Seeing my own username irritates me a bit.

My (lovely) ex husband used to say “redchester” for “register”
Drove me mad!!
My pet hate is people who say “we was” instead of “we were”

My DH pronounces epitome wrong despite me correcting him several times. I gave up years ago and leave him to it now!

@BiffNChips hahaha oh dear 🤦‍♀️

My personal pet hate is, I aren’t

It makes me want to scratch my skin off.

Remove all his drawer space privileges until he learns how to address them properly.

And Walla, here is the finished result!

Friend asked me a while back if I'd been watching Killyneeve on iPlayer, saying it was brilliant and she hoped there would be another series. I remember wondering if it was some sort of Irish crime drama or something, until I realised she was saying Killing Eve. I was actually watching it too and still hadn't a clue what she was banging on about! Not her fault obviously, just my lack of understanding.

His been discusting. He needs gone.

I once saw something on eBay I liked but the seller had written “all payments must be made in Stirling”. That’s too far for me to go just to hand over some cash so she lost my sale.

That’s too far for me to go
