What has someone not done for the most ridiculous reason?

[HiyaMeAgain]

I'll start....

My DS didn't do the washing up today as there wasn't any room on the draining board for more dishes!!

My DH refused to dance with me at a friends wedding because he didn’t recognise the song the DJ was playing.

@HiyaMeAgain it has a problem I think. It gains about 5 minutes a fortnight I cba to keep fixing it so I just calculate how many weeks since I last did it and allow for the difference.

I was out, Dh was home, washing on line, then it rains, got home and asked why washing had not been bought in when rain started, was told 'Well, I didn't know what you wanted doing with it' I replied that 'I wanted to to leave it out in the rain to get soaked again of course, you lazy twat!'

he got all offended and puffed off.

Hasnt done it again though

My adult DC got the tram to work for four days because his car wouldn't start.
It had no diesel.
The tram stop is next to the petrol station.

My mum wouldn’t talk to me when I was leaving an abusive marriage and losing my eyesight because it was too upsetting. She also couldn’t talk to my sister when her husband ran off with her best friend because it was too upsetting.

I sent DP to the chemist during the first lockdown for acetone to remove my acrylic nails and something for thrush but specified that I didn’t want canestan.

He came back with only the acetone and nothing for my thrush. When I asked why he said “yes you said not to buy canestan”. He’d said to the chemist “I’d like some acetone but not canestan” 😂

They must have had a laugh when he left

DH hasn't changed the time on the car clock because 'I'll just have to change it again in six months'

That's me too I get so excited about this time each year as it'll be right for 6 months after this weekend

DH once had to ring work and say he'd be late because his snake was taking too long eating.

Apparently it’s far to difficult for my poor dc to remove the old cardboard before putting a fresh roll on the holder

Two fencing companies who had booked in appointments to give me a quote didn't turn up this week.
I have no idea what either of their crappy reasons were as they were not courteous enough to tell me /apologise for not coming!

Currently waiting for third company, was due at 11 and still no sign.

What is it with fencing companies?!

My DM has been chasing them round for months and all of them have been totally useless too.

DH's old car used to lose about 5 minutes a fortnight, it was weird!

I've also had a car that was out by 20 minutes (and 5 hours). The instructions in the manual didn't work, not even the garage could manage to change it. I just got adept at adjusting the time mentally. 😂

I'm sure I've got many examples, but my own is the classic 'can't go to bed because I'm too tired to get up from the couch'!

@HiyaMeAgain

I've just remembered another. When I was about 20, a younger work colleague couldn't clean down the sides in the work kitchen as the water he had used to fill the bucket was too hot!

Another ds one...he refuses to open his curtains as he only has to close them again.

DH also claims this about curtains and blinds. If he had his way we'd grope round the house in permanent semi-darkness, like moles.

He also once justified never, ever cleaning the bathroom mirror on the grounds that he never looked into it, so why did he need to bother cleaning it?

I truly despair sometimes.

Why does everyone think the clocks change every 6 months??

I know it's March and October, so not technically every six months.

DS (5) couldn't help me make the cakes (that he asked for) because he is an eater not a maker

For 25 years my DH never makes gravy to go with a meal. He will cook a complete roast dinner, no gravy. Chops and mash? No gravy. When I raged at him for the millionth time he said 'I'm not bothered about gravy' so I have to make my own. Fair enough. So why is it EVERY FUCKING TIME I make the gravy he says 'well as you've made it I might as well have some'.

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza ...

Dh once went to the local shop for something for our lunch. I asked for a sausage roll. Came back with lunch for himself and the kids but nothing at all for me because they had no sausage rolls!
And Asda once came with no bread in my whole shopping as the generic white bread I ordered was out of stock. So no other white bread in the whole of Asda, really?

My DP is the king of these, I could fill a thread. But my favourite is when my mum was here and walked in with a cup of tea. He didn't offer us one as "it would take too long". I get him back though.

Seven months! British summer time lasts longer than GMT.

It's a wonder what goes through peoples minds sometimes isn't it

I had a great Covid one this week- wanting payment in advance for providing a replacement blown windows because of risk of isolating etc.

I’m happy to pay for the units in full in advance but why the hell would I pay for the labour too? It’s not like they go off.
