Inspired by the fact that once again I've gone to make myself a much needed cuppa, already poured the water in only to find some asshole (DH) has put the milk back in the fridge with about 10mm worth of milk left. Why not just drink the tiny bit??? Why put it back??

Obviously a light-hearted thread or shall I leave the monster? Grin

LTB. And put laxative in the milk. That'll teach him.
I hate empty loo rolls left on the holder.

Crumpetsforthequeen · 18/02/2020 18:54

😂 great suggestion although I'd probably forget I've done it and drink it myself.

Oh I hate that too, my DD does it all the time, there's a bin right next to the toilet, I live with heathens.

I hate it when people don't use a butter knife and there are serrated knife marks in the butter.

ShiveringCoyote · 18/02/2020 18:58

Dh leaves the cupboard door ever so slightly open. I'm starting to think hes afraid of closing it.

HalfSizeMe · 18/02/2020 18:58

@ohtherewearethen my partner once used a fork in the butter!

The many laminated signs a lazy coworker spends her time putting up in the shared kitchen about tidiness/use of bins

thenightsky · 18/02/2020 19:00

DH always leaves the wardrobe doors open and then wonders why our wool jumpers are full of moth holes. Cause and effect.

Ponoka7 · 18/02/2020 19:01

When my DD (22) walks past the bin to put her empty crisp packet down with her used plate. Or ignores the recycle bin and leaves an empty bottle on the side.

iklboo · 18/02/2020 19:01

DH uses a cutlery item, chucks it in the sink, gets another of the same item out, uses it, chucks it in the sink.....

Puts things in 'to soak'. Including a jug that had only had water in it.

hidinginthenightgarden · 18/02/2020 19:02

People tagging me in those pointless fucking "don't let me down girls" posts...Sorry, I cannot be arsed with that sort of shit. It means nothing!

Taswama · 18/02/2020 19:03

People sat in their cars with the engine running.

Delbelleber · 18/02/2020 19:03

Piss on the toilet seat

Taswama · 18/02/2020 19:04

Also people crossing a road five metres away from a pedestrian crossing, especially with kids.

I find my walk to school very stressful!

Chickydoo · 18/02/2020 19:06

People who takes weeks to respond to a text or email. FGS just reply!

Leaving sandwich debris on the chopping board.
Oh... and butter in the marmite and toast crumbs on the butter.

Bubblemonkey · 18/02/2020 19:08

A fork, @HalfSizeMe? The way I’ve been with this period of mine, I’d have forked him 😂😤

Bubblemonkey · 18/02/2020 19:10

Itchy bastard stoma bag drives me potty. My skin is absolutely spot on, but ohhh the itch. I’ve drawn blood a few times itching at the edge of it & it doesn’t stop the cunt thing from itching

thenightsky · 18/02/2020 19:11

'I know which of my friends will repost this'.

EssentialHummus · 18/02/2020 19:13

I live in a small block of flats. My downstairs neighbours slam the door like they’re being paid for it.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 18/02/2020 19:19

Whichever person it is on my house who keeps leaving the living room door open. It leads to our little hall and downstairs loo. However the hall has no insulation whatsoever and if you leave the door open you get a horrible cold draft. I'm fed up of yelling "CLOSE THE DOOR" at people.
Ds2 will sometimes forget to close the toilet door which means you can't open the front door.
Stupid doors.

Shodan · 18/02/2020 19:25

DS1 not refilling the water filter jug, meaning I have no filtered water to make my morning tea.

And worse- piling all his dirty crockery in the sink so I can't get at the tap to refill the bloody water jug (which is why he hasn't refilled it, obvs).

And Certain People (DP and DFriend, I'm glaring looking at you) filling the kettle to the brim to make tea for 2 people.

I clearly have Kettle Issues Grin

BreatheAndFocus · 18/02/2020 19:25

People who stop with their trollies right in the door of the supermarket to look at their list/look in their purse/stand vacantly so no-one else can get through.

There’s a bloody great supermarket ahead of them to stop in, but they insist on stopping in the narrowest place to faff about!

BlythesEyes · 18/02/2020 19:27

Oh god....there are soooooo many....(I work in a coffee shop)
Not putting your seat back under the table upon leaving
Letting your children play with the sugar cubes and tongs
Letting your children play with the salt and pepper shakers I.e. tipping them up over the tablecloth
At home
Not taking the shopping up that's been left on the stairs for the bathroom cupboard and just walking past it
If it doesn't fit in the bin...the bin needs emptying...just do it and don't leave your crap next to the bin
And relax....Hmm

thebear1 · 18/02/2020 19:29

When cups etc are put on top of the dishwasher rather than inside it. Toys made of tiny pieces that are impossible to keep track of.

Ohtherewearethen · 18/02/2020 19:29

@HalfSizeMe my husband did that once too! Just the once though as I think I scared him a little bit 😆
