I got really fed-up with always being the toilet roll fairy (as in being the only one who ever took the used roll off the holder to replace with new roll). I conducted a very scientific experiment ... I didn't change the roll at all, and didn't say anything until I could stand it no longer. I lasted for 11 weeks!!! The floor was awash with used rolls! Nobody noticed. How can no-one notice 11 weeks-worth of cardboard rolls in a pile on the floor??

I had an ex who never wiped after having a piss and would have a little damp spot on his trousers.

I could never quite bring myself to mention it and I'm sure it was a factor in leaving him.

Our toilet roll fairy got so fed up that one day she (ie me) drew little faces on all the rolls (about 8-9), happy faces, sad faces, fierce faces, monster faces etc and lined them up on the top of the cistern like a family of toilet roll tubes. Dh was amused and of course he noticed them then so it got the point through without nagging and he started to chuck them away. He's slipped up again now, prehaps its time for the drawing pens to come out again

JuliaAndJohn · 11/11/2005 17:00

Yes my dh

  • puts his dirty clothes ON THE LID of the laundry basket (which is often only half full) DRIVES ME MAD

  • has never changed a loo roll

  • walks past the things that I leave on the bottom step to take up next time I go upstairs. He thinks they are there for decoration, I suspect

JuliaAndJohn · 11/11/2005 17:02

...BUT he is a fab cook and cooks a mean curry and FAB Asian food for me at weekends

PMSL at this thread!!!!!

So far this week, my DP has

Put his washing next to the washing basket, because actually putting it in the basket is so much more effort

Left a pooey nappy in DS's room without even putting it in a nappy sack, or in the bin

Left the sodding milk out of the fridge at least twice

Ditto but with butter

There has also been a cup by his side of the bed since September, which I am leaving there to prove a point. Also, if any of us need antibiotics in the next few weeks, it'll save a few quid!

Gah, Men.

Left his bloody stubble all round the sink, each and every bloody day.

Leaves assorted hot drinks on the floor, which is just an accident waiting to happen with an 11 month old child

JuliaAndJohn · 11/11/2005 17:17

intergalacticwalrus - ho ho. I was wondering what I had forgotten - you've summed it up. Your dh is the same as mine apart from the nappy one... Also begins to head out with the kids, into the, cold... NONE of them with a coat on and also leave dishes in an empty sink with all manner of uneaten food and snotty (kids) tissues on yuk... yuk... yuk

triplethefun · 13/11/2005 01:25

Dh has good personal hygiene. No worries about him washing his hands/brushing teeth etc. BUT he leaves his plate on the table after he's eaten, NEVER loads the dishwasher, NEVER tidies around, and just pushes whatever's on the bed onto my side, crawls in & sleeps Pile of clean washing on my side of the bed right now!! Dh snoring away.

Prettyfull · 14/11/2005 17:43

LMAO intergalacticwalrus, i like the leaving the cup there to prove a point,might try that myself. My dp is just as bad as what most of you hav said, the owrst thing is when he leaves scissors, or his glasses or anything not baby proof out...god, is it really that hard. He leaves hes glasses out and moans at me when dd gets them!!!

notasheep · 14/11/2005 18:46

My darling boyfriend has urinated in our bed,our daughters bed,daughters desk,up against bedroom radiator,in the lounge fireplace,over daughters party dress! how delightful!!!!!!!!

fullmoonfiend · 14/11/2005 19:23

Mine - all of the above (except for the urinating notasheep Is it when he's, err, hadd a drop too much? Or is he sleep-pissing?

biglips · 14/11/2005 19:25

i dont even wanna start on this one or i wont stop

fullmoonfiend · 14/11/2005 19:28

One year I brought a load of xmas cards for his friends and some of his family (feeling that I'd done my bit towards the festivities - shopping, buying all the presents, decorating, etc etc etc) and written them out and addressed and stamped the envelopes - leaving a space for him to sign his name, before posting the cards. I found them in February, shoved in his glove compartment cos he couldn't be arsed to post them. His office has a fecking post box outside the door. Sigh. He has many fab qualities. Just can't remember them at the mo

notasheep · 14/11/2005 19:28

when he has had a rather pleasant night down the pub! whilst i have had babe permanently on my boob.
But I have now been out 3 nights in a row!! He didnt like that and i only urinated in the loo!!!

Tickle · 14/11/2005 19:51

ROFL antibiotics IGwalrus
my dh does most of the above, (except notasheep's bf's habit!) but I am no angel on the tidy front, so I forgive him...

but I do hate that thing, last thing at night, where I say "I'm off to bed" I then start the various machines for dishes, clothes etc, clear the table ready for breakfast, feed the dogs, gather stray clothes, toys, books & all manner of gunk, brush my teeth & go to bed. He says "I'm off to bed", brushes his teeth & goes to bed.

Guaranteed every day I go through the list of :-
Pull the flush
Turn off lights
Turn off taps
shut doors
Put shoes on in porch not on in living room
dirty washing has a home and it's not on the floor
eat at the table
brush teeth
tv does not need to be on full volume
supervising dd2 does not mean playing on the playstation

and the list goes on and on and on
