I have a particular fork I like to use, I get irrationally possessive of it and hate when other people use it or even touch it, but it's shaped slightly differently to the others and is more comfortable to hold, the others just don't feel right.

My vibrator

Hazelmazel · 21/02/2021 08:50

Not much really, I'm not that bothered about objects. I do have a couple of mugs that are my favourite ones that I ask the kids not to use (mainly because the ones they use disappear into bedrooms for weeks on end) and no one is allowed to touch my good fabric scissors (I have less-good ones anyone can use). Everything else is fair game.

Lemmeout · 21/02/2021 08:50

I have lots. I thought it was just me. Pillows, car, cups, chairs park space I could go on.

VashtaNerada · 21/02/2021 08:52

Towels, hairbrush, comb, toothbrush, favourite mug.

Oysterbabe · 21/02/2021 08:52

I get annoyed if DH uses my preferred mug because I end with an inferior one.

peak2021 · 21/02/2021 08:55

Towels, there are visitor towels and even a separate one for any workmen/women who visit (such as a plumber when needed).

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 21/02/2021 08:56

My spot in the couch (though DH always moves into it when I go to bed, and rearranges all the cushions and blankets and leaves his slippers and coffee mug cluttering it up)
My laptop (though DH uses it after I've gone to bed)
My desk in work (though DH tends to rearrange it, or randomly switch m monitor or mouse or keyboard or chair with what he thinks is a better one, when I'm not there)
My phone (DH doesn't have my fingerprint Grin)

TheSandgroper · 21/02/2021 08:56

My kitchen.

grapewine · 21/02/2021 08:57

Towels, toothbrush, hairbrush. My computer and phone.

GADDay · 21/02/2021 08:58

My toothbrush and pants. Don't give a monkey's about the rest.

HermioneKipper · 21/02/2021 08:59

Yes I have a favourite mug and a fork I get annoyed if others use too!

wellthatsunusual · 21/02/2021 08:59

I don't really have anything that I can think of.

Chunkymenrock · 21/02/2021 08:59

Loads. My car, the washing machine, my desk, my hairbrush, my mugs, my coat hook, my key hook, my spaces on the shoe rack.

Chickydoo · 21/02/2021 08:59

My bathroom

SaltyTootsieToes · 21/02/2021 09:00

My good knives. I detest when DH uses them to cut up or open cardboard boxes

I had to hide my make up so my DD wouldn’t use it, often things would go missing. I hadn’t been pedantic about make up brushes though until I let a friend use my good blusher brush and she mangled it.

CornishPastyDownUnder · 21/02/2021 09:03

my towel urghhh.hate it! have an ensuite but it still gets used along with my hand towel/makeup/socks🤬
the joy of teens.Least my ice cream is safe-they didnt inherit my sweet tooth t.f..

Commonwasher · 21/02/2021 09:04

My office.

NellePorter · 21/02/2021 09:04

My work chair ... it takes me ages to get it set up just right, I hate it when someone comes along and adjusts it on my day off. Luckily it has been in my front room for the past 11 months Grin

CosmicComfort · 21/02/2021 09:05

My mugs
My sofa (DH has the other one)

Thighdentitycrisis · 21/02/2021 09:08

Kitchen
Favourite cup
Hairdressing and fabric scissors

My towel - when I leave clean ones specifically out for others

Probably loads more- I live alone😁

HellsAngel81 · 21/02/2021 09:11

My stethoscope!

PrimeraVez · 21/02/2021 09:22

My tweezers. I don't mind DH using them as such, it's just that he never puts them back in the right place.

Everyone in our household has 'their' seat at the dining table.

My home office. DH and I are both currently WFH and we are meant to take it in turns to use the home office and the garden table which is currently in our bedroom Hmm but in reality, I use the home office every day and it really pisses me off if I ever find him in here in the evenings, even if he's just on the phone!

PrimeraVez · 21/02/2021 09:23

Oh, and my car. DH and I have exactly the same car, with exactly the same kiddie car seat configuration in it, so there's rarely any good reason for us to use the other person's car but DH sometimes inexplicably takes mine. He always fucks around with the seat, the radio, the AC etc and leaves sweet wrappers, empty water bottles etc in the door pockets. Angry

rc22 · 21/02/2021 09:26

DH took to using my headphones which I didn't mind except that when I use them, I also put them back in the same place. DH dumps them in a range of random places so I can't find them when I want them.
