What unnecessary, inappropriate and ridiculous job did someone in your house decode to start doing in the middle of the Christmas chaos?

[RadioSilencio]

Title should read ; 'decide to start doing' 🤨

My DH, Christmas Eve, 2pm, while I was rushing to get sorted before we had to go out...started clearing out the kitchen cupboards, in particular the 'drawer of shit' whilst I was doing food prep. Spreading it around and actually on top of the food!

It's been a catch all drawer of shite for the entirety of the seven years we've lived in this house.

You know when you just look at someone and go "absolute bellend" In your mind, but he definitely heard it 😂

(Disclaimer, obviously lighthearted!)

I found my next door neighbours DH removing the letterbox from their front door on Xmas eve, he was polishing it with brasso before the arrival of their guests.

They have a 1, 3 and 5 year old.

We were both idiots and decided to take abreak from food prep and just put up new blind. Shpuld be easy peasy... 2 hours later we lost it, opened beer and returned to food prep.
Luckily it eas just for us but we were also processing food for freezing so quite a lot🙈

I was at work Xmas eve. Dh was at home doing the Christmas clean up. I got a phonecall at lunchtime from dh stating that the living room floor needs de sanding and should he get on with it...

My parents were both buggers for this - my Dad famously took all the windows out of the first floor of our house once, when he was a week off going on holiday... and then realised the glaziers could not actually sort out new period appropriate wood framed sash windows in that time frame, he should have ordered them first... so he fucked off on holiday leaving us with black plastic over all the first floor windows (six foot tall three foot wide jobs too most of them!)

My mum was as bad though... 'oh, we need to leave in an hour, well thats the perfect time to replace that slipped tile on the roof or re-grout the bathroom'... I think she had a total time blind spot, she'd regularly ask me to hoover the stairs or landings or something random in the 10 minutes I had after breakfast, before catching the bus - never grasping it was a six minute walk to the bus stop and after breakfast I still had to clean teeth, brush hair, find bag, put on shoes etc, and such hoovering jobs were a good 20 minute task at least!
