to be annoyed? Person offers to do one job but instead does something completely different?

AIBU to be annoyed?

The kitchen of an elderly relative needed a quick clean. The washing up needed doing, the surfaces wiped, the microwave wiped down, the bins put out and the floor brushed and mopped.

The elderly relative doesn't cook. They don't use the oven. They warm meals up in the microwave.

A person was supposed to clean the kitchen and instead spent all day just cleaning the oven. The oven was hardly used and looks no different from before. It's been pulled out and the floor underneath it and the sides have been cleaned. The kitchen stinks of oven cleaner.

Guess the sex of the person?

just remember it's all deliberate he knows exactly what he's doing and he does not deserve to have any benefit of the doubt
Keep all that in mind and proceed accordingly!

If we are having a cleaning session, DH always tidies the garage, the shed or the cupboard under the stairs.

He will put the things that Shouldn't Be There in the middle of the front room. Then leave them there for weeks.

Oh gods, did you borrow DH for the day?

He nearly brought about his own premature death last time we moved house. I asked him for help with the packing, he alphabetised our CD collection (then sub-divided them by release date where we had more than one album by a particular band).

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@FOJN It was one of very many reasons why he is my exh 😁

DP tidies the shed. Sometimes he rebuilds parts of it. All the bits he has had enough of get left in a big heap outside in the garden where they remain until l eventually snap and take them to the tip. He also waits until l have cleaned all the sides in the kitchen before making a messy sandwich - l don't know why l haven't murdered him yet ...

My DH is excellent at cleaning. And incredibly thorough. Unfortunately this is one room at a time. So the lounge will be have the floor, walls and ceiling hoovered (yes!), light fixtures washed, sofa hoovered/cleaned/pillows plumped, windows washed and every suface dust free.

BUT

The windows are washed on the inside only, the rug is rolled up to facilitate hoovering the floor and then unrolled releasing wafts of cat hair and the fact that the room leads to an hallway with dust bunnies the size of elephants rolling about goes un-noticed by him.

And then it's 6 months before he does it again.

(I would prefer him to do one thing - like hoover all the way through the ground floor so at least one thing is done throughout.)
