To ask what little everyday things irritate the hell out of you?

[Crumpetsforthequeen]

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?

DP putting the shower gel on the window sill instead of the basket RIGHT NEXT TO IT!

The bags of pasta and rice that have the sticky resealable label that you can pull over after folding the top down. Except when you open the bag it splits down the side, rendering the sticky tab useless 😡

Catching your sleeve on a door handle.
Getting your sleeves wet doing the washing up.
Gathering up a big pile of washing and then repeatedly dropping items, picking them up and dropping more items.
DH’s habit of removing the bag full of food waste from the kitchen food caddy bin to carry it outside to the kerbside food waste bin. Why can’t he carry the whole bin outside??! One day it’s going to split and deposit the manky contents everywhere and guess who’ll end up clearing it up??
(Hasn’t happened yet but mark my words it’s only a matter of time)

I make the bed and then DH comes and sits on it and wriggles up all the duvet sheets 😤😡
Sit on the chair!!
So irrational I know!

Dropping things on the floor makes me swear like a sailor. Also trying to put dirty cutlery into the little holes in the holder for the dishwasher is a bastard.

And another one - why does every bottle of oil I open immediately feel oily on the outside?

Leaving the used tea bag on a plate on the counter, leaving dirty plates in the sink, toothpaste scum in the sink, door slamming! Everything my FIL does when he visits, argh!!

Used cereal bowls in every room and knives covered in peanut butter just left out on the bread board. Also half finished glasses of water left by the sink. We have a dishwasher FFS.

People who stop and stand in the middle of the pavement blocking everybody to have a chat and ditto in supermarket isles. Of course nobody else exists.

Kids stuff. Every time I step out there is a bag to carry. Sports kit/backpack etc depending on the days activities.

Being served tea in a mug I hate

My DH piling up used tea bags on the tea bag holder. Literally until they topple over. Just put them in the food waste caddy when cold ffs!

This really shouldn't rattle me as much as it does as he's awesome around the house generally. Poor guy

People who say/ write “Way to ...” e.g. “ Way to upset your friend “....see it so much on here and it makes me want to,scream.

DH taking the toilet roll off the holder every time he uses it and placing it either on top of the cistern or perching on the adjacent radiator.

The fact that DH seems to be incapable of using the toilet brush.

SIL always pulls the toaster out from under the cabinets to use it and never pushes it back when done. (I get that this is a rule in some workplaces but do people do it in their own or other peoples homes?)

The timing of the traffic lights in my village.

People who double park to pop to shops etc and put their hazards on- like They are excused from causing an obstruction because they put on some flashing lights.

People not washing their hands after the loo at work

Noisy eaters

faffers

When DH does the washing up, he doesn't rinse the soap suds off stuff before he puts it on the draining board, so he ends up with piles of bubbles all over everything. It makes me irrationally angry

My DH is seemingly unable to finish off a loo roll & put the cardboard middle in the recyc basket in the bathroom. When the loo roll has one & a half sheets stuck to it, he gets out a new roll, starts it & carefully leaves the old one next to it, for ME to finish off & deal with. Why???? (Yes, I have mentioned it to him, to no effect.)

Every Wednesday DH puts his contact lenses in for hockey and leaves the packaging on the stairs for at least a day before he puts it in the bin.

I get my revenge by not putting my coffee grounds in his compost pot.

People tapping their nails on surfaces for no good reason.

People sitting behind me eating crisps/rustling sweet bags/breathing loudly. I once went to the cinema and someone sat behind me and ate a whole bag of cheese and onion Kettle Chips. I was murderous by the end of it.

I'm due on and everything my DH is doing is giving me the rage

People making a snack in the kitchen and not clearing up afterwards

I came on to say permanently red traffic lights too @Lucked. Not in your village, but every-freakin'-place I drive grrr

And agree about the wet sleeves when using sinks

I have sign on my letterbox which clearly says no junk mail or menus, but almost every single day I get sent crap I'm not even going to open or look at. Virgin media - you in particular.

People who put wet coffee spoons in the sugar so that tiny grains of coffee are mixed in with it. When you want a cup of tea you have to be wary with the sugar.
Teabags in the sink.
Crumbs in the butter. Marmite in the butter.
I work with zoo animals 🤣

“Show me the tit on an almond” fuck off
