I just had this discussion this morning.  Sun is shining directly into my daughters room, yet she turned on the light in the room.   :wall:

I did this once with my step daughter.  She had multiple pairs of shoes she would leave right in front of the door.  So, after multile warnings I took a pair and hid them.  Just regular tennis shoes, nothing special and nothing that couldn't be replaced by one of her other pairs.  Well, one day she wants those specific shoes but can't find them.  I told them I hid them just like I said I would and my wife read me the riot act until I got them for her.

Then there is my wife and her backbacks.  She has one for work, one for grad school, and one for the gym.  Their "place" is out in the open in the living room.  We'll do a Sunday house cleaning and she'll assign the boys to pick up and put away all of the stuff from the living room.  Without fail they will say "where do you want me to put your bags?"  Her response?  "Oh, you can leave those and I'll take care of them."  They never move.

My wife is great but she STINKS at loading a dishwasher. For example, she'll put glasses/mugs on one of the little prongs instead of using that as the outer guide vs the edge of the rack as the other outer guide. So you're left with a couple inches of unused space...all over the place.  When it's "full" to her I can rearrange things to be literally half full.

It was funny when I was at my sister in law's (wife's sister) and heard her husband getting annoyed about her loading method. I took a look and it's exactly as my wife does it. Next time I was at her parent's house I made it a point to see how her mother did it, and of course, it's exactly the same.

I think teaching my daughter how to load it right is like #7 on my list of things to accomplish. Have to break this vicious cycle.

My wife won`t empty the dishwasher.  If I don`t do it they will sit clean for days in the dishwasher while she puts glasses and plates in the sink.  Then I think the dishes are dirty and I start putting dirty ones with the clean ones already in there.

When my daughters were at home they used about 6 towels a day between them..all of them laying wet on the floor in the bathrooms. They both had showers in their bedrooms but they like ours better. So if I had to take a pee at night I would walk in and trip over a bunch of wet towels.

 I said "It takes 10 seconds to put the fu$%ing wet towels in the clothes bin...do it!

Putting large cardboard boxes in the recycling barrels without breaking them down, so one box takes up the whole ####### barrel. Day after trash day last week I went to dump a small barrel of recyclables we keep in the kitchen into the big bins in the garage, and each of the three had a single Amazon box blocking anything else from being added to them. Oh, the thunderous f-bombs that flew that day...

I had probably pissed her off about something else, but she was saying something about giving her too many empty threats and it wasn't fair to randomly actually following through.  I don't know...women.  She's usually not that irrational but she still has guilt about divorcing her first husband and making her daughter split her life between two families and gives her special treatment in some effort to make it up to her.  :shrug:  I just acknowledge and move on.

 
Putting things we use at least every day, often several times a day, into a near-empty dishwasher that won't be run until at least the next day. Rinse off the ####### spatula and put it back in the drawer so I can use it when I make a grilled-####### cheese in a couple of hours!

 
Why's it taking two hours for my load of laundry to dry? Well, it might be because there's enough lint in the lint screen to knit a ####### afghan!

I once pulled out a lump of lint out of the duct the size of a guinea pig.  Always keep it clean or run the risk of something bad happening.

 
Wife won't ever be ready to leave on time.  She says she is "ready", but that means run around the house doing odd chores for 15 minutes before we actually walk out the door.  Worst is when we are trying to go out of town.  Literally "I'm ready" is a 1-2 hour lead into actually leaving when we are going overnight.

No one besides me seems to have the ability to:

  1. Rinse off dishes after using them
  2. Turn off lights when leaving a room
  3. Close closet and cabinet doors
 
It's great that my wife vacuums and all but then the vacuum ends up right in the middle of the floor with the cord snaking it's way across the floor when she is done. Every Time!

 
It would be awesome if my wife could learn to

: Fill the dishwasher correctly...who am I kidding, put the dishes in the dishwasher

: Figure out that the large garbage cans are in the garage, not inside the house, next to the door leading to the garage.

How could I forget this one.  I don't get it.  The excuse I always get is "I was going to do room x" or "I wasn't quite done."  However, it will sit for literally days if I don't put it away.  Also, she cannot be bothered to actually wrap the cord onto the holder tight.  The extra 20 seconds is too much for her, so she just loosely winds it up and sets it on there only to fall all over the place when you try to move the vacuum.

 
We'll all be sitting in the family room, watching TV, when an odor akin to an alpaca farm on a July day wafts through the room.  My son absolutely cannot ever admit that he farted.  Dude, you're 13, you think farts are literally the funniest thing on the face of the earth, but do you think he would ever take responsibility for a particularly rancid SBD?  We try and stress to him that dude, everybody does it, just admit it and move on, but he will deny until the cows come home, or until we've fumigated the room anyway.  It's a fart; we're not accusing you of a felony.  

 
Fluffs the laundry about 8 times.  She keeps "forgetting" to fold it fresh out of the dry so it gets fluffed a dozen times.  

And we don't eat dinner til damn near 830 every night.  

But she cooks and does the laundry...so I can't really complain.

My wife is the worst at getting ready.  We'll have plans to leave to do something at 10 in the morning, say.  I will get up, do the breakfast, shower, get ready stuff at a liesurely pace.  Then, once I'm ready I'll see how much time I have to putz around until we have to leave.  Her?  She'll sit on the couch watching TV or messing around on Facebook in her pj's and robe until 10 minutes before we have to leave, then go crazy trying to get ready on time.  Of course she never is.

My wife lays the laundry out on the love seat for a day or two.  I think it is like a good steak where you have to let it rest first.  I don't get it.

 
Leaving things in the kitchen "to soak." I understand if it's a heavily encrusted pot or something. But, every glass, plastic container, or bowl doesn't not need to soak. Just rinse it a put it in the dishwasher.  :wall:

Bobby pins.  EVERYWHERE.  Wife and two daughters.  Both daughters dance too, so they are taken out and left all over the place.  
Click to expand...
ugh. I could build a whole other bedroom out of discarded bobby pins and scrunchies.

 
How many times must we get on the road only to turn around cause she forgot if she blow out a candle or turned off a space heater or not.

Why wear socks to bed if your just going to kick them off and let them float under the covers.  I should not wake up with socks clinging to me. 

There's a reason the dog comes over to me every time it has to take a ####.

This is definitely a good one. Takes me 10 minutes to break down all the boxes each week.  :rant:

One of my buddies posted this on FB the other day...  :lmao:

This morning in the recycling bin I found a belt, a tablecloth (not a plastic tablecloth, but a cloth tablecloth) a pair of shoes and my favorite...dryer lint. AND as i move these made-up recyclable items to the trash can I find 3 empty water bottles and 2 cans in the trash.

My wife reloads the dishwasher after someone puts in some dishes. If all the plates are put in facing right, I’ll put the next one in facing left. I’m easily amused.

I really hope laundry is a euphemism for something else because who doesn't love a fluffer?

If I want to get on the road at 9 I tell her we HAVE TO leave by 8 to make it to our destination on time. We usually leave around 8:50. She hasn’t caught on yet. She still thinks we are late so she hurries up.

My wife will not touch the trash can in the kitchen.  Just pile it on top, with the lid propped open, building a little Jenga tower of trash until I get home

Nobody can push the trash down into the can in my house except for me.  I've seen instances where the can was "full" so I grab a paper plate from the cupboard and push everything down into the bottom 1/4 of the can... seriously???  Empty box after empty box and nobody can compress these items into the can?????

 
I've got a few but I've managed a workaround for most of them:

  • Wife doesn't ever replace toilette paper rolls.  We used to keep the massive pack of them in the laundry room which meant I would have to trudge across the house to get to it.  Now, I keep a huge back of TP rolls in EVERY bathroom.  When she complained, I told her she could start replacing rolls or she could live with my solution.  She still doesn't replace TP.
  • Wife squeezes toothpaste from the middle.  We have separate toothpaste.
  • Wife tries on 9 outfits and leaves 8 of them laying out for a week which means I never know what's clean or dirty if/when I do laundry.  I move her pile of clothes to the table in the laundry room and won't clean any of them.  She ends up going through about once every two weeks and hangs them all back up.
  • Kid hides yogurt wrappers around the house when he's done instead of throwing them away.  No more yogurt tubes.
  • Kid leaves toys laying out.  Toys left out for more than 24 hours go in "time out" box.  Once a month we let him take the toys out of the box and put them away where they belong.


I could go on but it's time to leave work and I'm out for the weekend!

I always tell her that 6pm isn't a suggestion, it's the ####### time we're supposed to be there!

 
Unless you want to be murdered in your sleep under no circumstances do you leave your work out weights in the middle of the floor for me to stub my toe on when I get up to take a piss in the middle of the night.

 
Wife leaves curling iron/straightener/blow dryer on the counter. Those ####### cords are so tangled and they hand down in front of the drawers. When I’m trying to get ready after her I always catch my hand or leg on the dangling chords and they fall.

Apparently no one can recycle in your house either.

Our friends have started telling us a half hour to an hour early for the start time to get-togethers. I know, but I haven't told my wife yet.

Shhhhhhhh. It’s really effective. 

My BIL/SIL are always late. I’ll have them over for a 12:00 Vikings game. I’ve told them food is served at 11:30. I’m done grilling by 11:20. I refuse to be cooking after kickoff. They get there at 12:45. Foods cold. Not my problem.

Lord, please give me the strength (blows out)

1)  Not cleaning the countertop.  This one drives me absolutely nuts.  If you eat or cook or take something out and you get stuff on the countertop, just wipe it.  Please.  For the love of God.  I can't stand putting my hand down on food or sticky stuff I can't see or setting down a sheet of paper only to see it get stained because someone couldn't grab a rag and wipe it down.  And not tomorrow morning.  Now, please.

I'm too aggravated to go on.

 
Lots of dish complaints :lmao: my wife is a saint in that department. I'm definitely the culprit there. Also my wife does all the laundry and folds it. Expect she doesn't separate whites from colors. When whites get too gray I just buy new ones. But ill never complain about that because I hate doing laundry. Id rather buy new whites constantly.
