Can we discuss pet peeves here? (5 Viewers)

[Bull Dozier]

Apparently my wife's closet is now the floor on her side of the bed. There are, no ####, 8 pairs of shoes piled there on a daily basis. The closet is approximately 4 adult sized steps away.

Me: You want me to hang a clothes rack over here?

Her: Why?

Me: Obviously this is where you want your closet to be.

Her: #### you.

Me: :chuckles: and walks away.

My wife did this too.  She complains that she doesn't have enough room in the closet to put all her clothes in it (hint, stop buying new clothes).  She'd have a pile of clean laundry on the floor on her side of the bed she would root through each day for an outfit.  The pile would get so big I'd eventually have to walk over the top of it, repeatedly.  She still considered it clean clothes though.

I do the laundry, so I'd fold all the clothes and put them on her side of the bed.  At night, she'd grab the stack and drop it on top of the pile.  The next morning they would no longer be folded as they were part of the digging process for something better.

I'm laughing my ###  off here reading these. Jesus, we are all married to the same woman. 

 

[ChiefD]

try this on for size

i'm an early is better, never late guy. she's a "no one tells me what time to be anywhere" person.

we used to "discuss" this often.

she said (to paraphrase, but i've heard it a billion times):

 "if you ask me to be ready by a certain time i feel like you're trying to force me to do something i don't want to do.  if you tell me we have to be somewhere at a certain time then i feel like you're bullying me in to do something i don't want to do. if you don't tell me what time to be ready then i assume you don't care and aren't in a hurry so why should i rush. if you tell me after we're already late and i'm not ready it's your fault for not telling me when to be ready. if you don't give me ideas of what you want to do then i just assume we aren't doing anything because you don't care anymore. if you tell me what you want to do then i feel obligated to do what you want even if i don't want to so i'm not going to hurry to do it."

i like to get moving on the weekends. there's only so much daylight and i want to enjoy it. used to make me nuts when we had plans and she would slow play until the lunch hour before finally being "ready" (which as every guy knows means.. 15 more minutes). 

we could get up at 7 on a saturday with plans to do yard work/travel/anything and she would not be ready until noon. she lays on the couch, naps, wanders around the house, whatever to kill time until noon.  the clock must read past 12 PM or she will not step foot out the door for virtually any reason.

now.. i don't bother asking. if there are things i want done, plans i have, i just get up and go. take the kids with me and we're gone. i can GUARANTEE within 10-15 minutes of the noon whistle my phone will ring.... "hey, i'm almost ready... what are we doing for lunch? should i meet you somewhere or are you picking me up?" .  if we're close i'll swing by and SHE WILL STILL BE GETTING READY even if it's 30 minutes later.

i've taken to not bothering to include her in weekend plans. the kids and i go and when we come back, we come back. if i come home before 12 and she wants me to wait to do something, i leave if she's taking too long. 

it hasn't changed her behavior remotely. not even a little bit. she's mad but... #### it.. i'm not wasting my life waiting 3-4 hours every saturday & sunday for her to get ready.

takes me 10-15 minutes to shower, shave and get dressed. even that feels like too much.  can't imagine spending 3-4 hours "getting ready" when it's summer, nice weather and there are other options.  she can't imagine being told what to do.. and she can interpret ANYTHING as "being told what to do". 

Yeah, I get the "STOP RUSHING ME. IT'S MY WEEKEND TOO!!!!!!!"

"Her" weekend is over by the time she gets started.

it sucks, man. it sucks. 

there aren't any options left on the table. i've tried everything.  at some point i had to stop letting her take passive aggressive control of my time. i'm not wasting my life waiting for her. there are too many things i want to do/that need to get done + add in 2 antsy kids that want to be doing..... anything... i can't just wait around.

 

[mrip541]

My biggest pet peeve is picking up other people's slack at work.  Just do your ####### job so that others don't have to.  

I work with a guy who's out sick all the damn time. I have no idea how he gets away with it. I went back through my emails and he averages 3 days out per month. He never gives notice until 11am the day of (day starts at 9) and I have to cover for him. Drives me absolutely flipping insane.

About that getting ready bit... I've learned that even mentioning how she's going to make us late will put her in a mood. It's a struggle. On the rare occasion she's ready to go before me, whether or not we're going to be late, she will stand in the open doorway with her arms crossed and give me "the look," maybe throw in a "you going to make me wait here all day?" even if I'm literally 20 seconds behind her. 

 

[otb_lifer]

see, I am the opposite ... he gets me with his bolded (not including her in plans)

my gf, for all she accomplishes during the week (and it's a lot), just cannot rouse her #### before 9 on the weekends ... and that's just 'waking up' - takes another couple hours to eat/get in some cardio/shower/get ready ... ooofffahhh

I'm up at roughly 5 every damn morning, sometimes earlier ... on the weekends, I get my daughter up at 7, she goes on a run w/me, we go out to breakfast - all before the gf wipes the sandman away. 

plenty of times she texts and asks 'where the #### are you two?' when we've been up Central Park or to a museum, etc for hours already

I thought it might be something like that, but if it was a medical condition wouldn't he at least give the people who have to cover for him some kind of heads up?

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't faulting him for just going when he's ready to go.  I'm actually more like the wives in your two stories.  I love sleeping in on the weekends.  I love at Saturday where I don't get to get out of bed and can be lazy all morning.

That said, if the wife and kids are going to go and do something fun, well, I'd get my butt out and bed and go.  It was more sad to me that his wife couldn't get motivated to get moving for a family activity.

People who come into the bathroom at work and treat it like it's their own bathroom at home.   

Use the toilet, wash hands, and leave.  Pretty simple.  There is no need to clean the counters or the sink out after you wash your hands.  You are not the janitor.  We pay people to do that.  You have work to do.  And it's not cleaning the ####### sink.

Seriously?  That takes like 15 seconds? 

I think it's rude to make a mess and leave it there for someone else to clean up when it's as simple as just wiping?  Same goes for tables in a common eating area.  If you eat like a pig and leave crumbs and food on the table, grab a napkin and wipe it onto your tray before leaving so that the table is usable for the next person before the cleaning staff comes by.  Some people are animals when it comes to that and think they can be pigs and it has no impact on anyone else.

gotcha 

here's the rub though, as far as my sitch is concerned ... I CAN'T SLEEP IN ... no matter what the #### is going on in my life, I am up around 5 in the morn, without fail. 

hell, even on my worst hangover mornings, it's still the same ... you'd think the amount of booze would keep me down, but, no dice - body springs alive like rigor freakin' mortis ... and once I'm up, I stay up, no half assing it.

as far as the gf, she is supremely motivated during the week, and is the one squiring our daughter around to all her activities ... that's after a full day out in some dodgy neighborhoods where she does most of her case work (the commutes for her are a #####)... so I kinda lay off pushing her on the weekends, but ... I am so tied up during the week that I need to make time up with the kid - so I get moving early.

This is a minor pet peeve at most--but it's one that I deal with soo many times that I figure I should mention it.  For some reason it bugs me that anytime an elevator door opens--that people try to rush into the elevator before allowing the people that were in the elevator to exit.     I can't tell if the people that do this are just poorly mannered or are just horny enough to hope they can "accidentally" bump into somebody.

Worst than that are the ones to exit the elevator slowly and then the last person exits, blocking the entrance and allowing the doors to close without holding it.

 Retail or Restaurants that overcharge 

1. I'm at happy hour cantina place and wife wants to shift next door so I go to close a quick check and the beer is supposed to be $4. Girl with her blouse open behind the bar decides to charge me $6 and when I point it out she just acts ditzy and then has to go to another register and get a manager and 5 minutes of my life I'm not getting back all in the name of two stinkin dollars which I flipped back and said keep it but they make you feel like you're stealing from them due to their incompetence.

2. Same thing at sushi bar where the price of the roll is $12 but get the check and it's magically $18, point it out and they act like you are a welfare recipient suddenly using food stamps at the checkout. 

3. Same thing at the grocery store where the prices at the checkout seem to always differ slightly from the floor. 

And I hate the stores that make you carry their petty little discount card so they can keep track of everything you do, either it's on sale or it isn't.

another wife thing...

We bought a home three years ago. She doesn't want us wearing shoes all over the house.

I buy her a nice sitting bench for all of us to put shoes under and/or in.  It's no longer used as a bench. When I go to put my shoes on in the morning, it's now a staging bench for all her crap that some how does not make it to its final destination.  No place to sit.

 Same thing happens with the dryer. Just stacked with things that 98% of the time belong five feet away in the garage.

Anyone else suffer from this?

Yes, but its the whole family (mainly wife and step daughter).  We have a nice bay window off our kitchen, right next to the main door everyone uses.  Its a great spot to sit and put your shoes on before you walk out the door, but it is always filled with over sized purses, Target bags from recent trips to the store, or other random crap that people are too lazy to put away.

[El Floppo]

my favorite wife thing (lately)... we all take our shoes off at the door. kids shoes stay there (in an open console) with a pair or two of each of ours... the rest of the adult shoes get put away. sometimes, I have an extra pair there for three total. sometimes she's got one or more extra shoes in and around the console. when wife is ready to clean up, it's always a big deal about my shoes being there- because she's already put hers away.

also...

she's the absolute worst packer of a dishwasher ever. empty dishwasher- puts the first items right in the middle so nothing else fits.

 

[belljr]

ooh I got one.   sometimes if we don't havedishes for a bit or there is a lot.  i'll run the dishwasher 3/4 full knowing we'll have a second load or hand wash what's left.

lol. me too. I don't even bother any more- just take the stuff she's put in and rearrange it.

 

[Zegras11]

Oh, and the other thing she learned from her parents...   open the fridge and nothing is where it is supposed to be and things are crammed in and on top of each other.  Like the milk is ####### never in the designed milk space in the door. The only thing in the right place is the butter, but she also packs that to the max so I have to empty it all to get to the butter.

I have to ask her monthly to clean out all the science projects that the food has become.  

There will be like four ten percent used mustard containers because you can find one and think you are out and have to open a new one. 

All of these skills translate directly to packing the car correctly when we go on a trip. She now knows to not even try. Just leave it at the back of the car.

I do want to say she's a great cook and easily would put  hottest women over 50 thread to shame.

My wife rarely touches the dishes but when she loads the dishwasher I wish she hadn't. I'm probably too OCD about this but I don't put a lot of stuff in there -- the good cutlery, wooden spoons, big pots & pans (unless we're cleaning up after a big party), and glasses that have logos or designs that will fade. Usually if she's loaded the dishwasher I need to take a bunch of stuff out and rearrange the rest. She gets annoyed. Yeah well I get annoyed when our stuff is ruined in the ####### dishwasher, ####.

[NREC34]

I have a couple of driving ones. (Not sure if there is a different thread)

1. When you're driving down a road and you have the right of way and someone goes really fast down a side road or exit to the point where it looks like they aren't going to stop and are going to hit you. I don't understand why anyone drives like this...

2. When there's a long line of cars stopped for a light and also a right hand turn lane next to them and there are people in the line that are like 2 car lengths away from the car in front and they just sit there like that when if they moved up some there might be enough space freed up for someone further back wanting to turn right to get out. 

 

[McGarnicle]

On long trips this drives me absolutely bat#### -- I settle into the left lane and leave 5 or 6 car lengths in front of me, like you're supposed to. Never fails, all day long regardless of what state we're in or the amount of traffic, dip####s tailgate me, pass on the right and cut in front of me. Congrats on getting to your destination .0005 seconds sooner than me, you ####### idiot. I guess to an impatient road-raging frustrated impotent nascar wanna-be, so much space in front of me means I'm not driving with the required sense of urgency? Kindly eat a bag of #####.

+100. When there are a slew of people in front of you and they are tailgating you like they are going to push your car through all the rest of them somehow.

On long trips this drives me absolutely bat#### -- I settle into the left lane and leave 5 or 6 car lengths in front of me, like you're supposed to. Never fails, all day long regardless of what state we're in or the amount of traffic, dip####s tailgate me, pass on the right and cut in front of me.

If you are on the highway doing this, you are breaking the law, at least in Texas.  The left lane is for passing only.

There's an IRS call scam going around where the robocall says they are filing a lawsuit.  We've gotten FIVE of those call so far today.  Who the hell falls for that crap anyway?

If poeple got smarter, say to the level of a doorknob, this would stop.
