Amazon Prime Video doesn’t have the new Quentin Tarantino film that has just come out at the cinema. Ergo Amazon Prime is a waste of money.
The shower screen in the guest bathroom has a stationary rather than hinged shower screen.
That someone used the loo in the middle of the night and he could hear them flush - his bedroom door was 3/4 open.
We have stair gates, so our children don’t break their necks. “Really inconvenient”
The Thai restaurant sent us too many prawn crackers. They sent an appropriate amount for the number of people, actually.
My deodorant is blue. And what?
We don’t have an endless supply of spare clothes in his size and to his taste.
His hair was still in the shower in his en suite when he went back to use it the next day.
The towels I put out for him are white.
Our front gate is too squeaky.
The planes overhead are too low.
We have too many rugs.
He can hear traffic when in the garden.
Our dogs won’t cuddle him.
Our children wear shorts.
The settings of the seats in the car we lent him weren’t to his liking.
He doesn’t like the preset radio stations on our car radio.
My DH (his brother) “doesn’t wear a hat”??????
We don’t have his very specific music taste available to him on vinyl, although we did think to search out appropriate Spotify playlists for him but “that’s not quite the same authenticity”.
The local swimming pool (in a large city) keeps “provincial, British hours”.
Microwave steamers are “excessive gadgets”. Then 30 minutes later, “I suppose you could steam veg in your steamer, have you thought of that?” No shit!
None of the 3 duvets we offered him were suitable.
I use my inhaler too frequently.
Why do I have rosehip oil in the bathroom, it’s of no use to anyone.

He is the gift that keeps on giving
Surprised you haven't spat tea across the room laughing when he comes out with these little gems

His wife is a fiery South American woman, I don’t think he would dare cross her.
Don't you worry about her, she can give as good as she gets and then some. She was the subject of another thread*, visiting the OP in her home near a farm in the countryside and was utterly outraged at the fact that there were farm/country noises and smells nearby.
*at least, I assume it must have been her....
Yep Motoko 'Mummy'.
That's one of the reasons it has stuck in my head!
FWIW, he says 'Mummy and Father'.
