Things that people in your house do that annoy you. (1 Viewer)

Laundry.......I washed it.  I dried it.  I took it out and folded it.  It's in a basket next to where it needs to go in your drawers.  Can you put them away in the next 3 weeks, please?

 
Even if I was willing to do my wife's laundry which I'm not, its just a big pile of madness in the closet.  I have no idea what's clean and what's dirty.

When I met my wife 14 years ago, I intentionally washed, dried, and shrunk her favorite pair of jeans.

Cost me dearly in terms of a new pair of jeans and mental anguish, but worth it.

Haven't done laundry in 13.99 years.

 
11 and 9yr old boys take their socks off anywhere they please and just drop them where they happened to be when taking them off. I find random socks all over the GD house.

Cut up one of the socks and make them eat it.  That will take care of that problem.

This is our 10 year old daughter.  Socks everywhere.

No just that - I mean aren’t there other places to store the dumbbells and kettle bells?  Basement?  Den?  Spare room?

Maybe I’m the weird one but lifting weights in the bedroom just seems odd.

People leaving the house forget something, come back in and say bye again.

Do it once, cool. I forget stuff too.

Do it 3 or 4 times, just get the hell out already...

Gawd, the dishes in the sink thing.....

Let's pile all the dishes in the sink without scraping them, so when I have to go do the dishes, I have to UNLOAD the sink to be able to then rinse them in the sink before I load the dishwasher.

JUST LEAVE THEM ON THE COUNTER LIKE I'VE TOLD YOU A HUNDRED MILLION BILLION TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've noticed my wife's whole family does this. What's even more odd/irritating, is that they seem to pile dishes into both sides rather evenly. Starts with a couple items on both sides and piles from there. If you must put dishes in the sink instead of the dishwasher, at least leave me one side of the sink that I don't have to unload to actually use it for it's intended purpose.

 
Thanks OP for posting this.  I had a ####ty day at work yesterday and just saw this.  The posts have cheered me up.  Between my wife and three girls living in the house I’m grossly outnumbered and try my best.  Here are my top two:

Definitely not turning off lights is the one that drives me nuts.  Happens everyday.  When I told my wife to turn the lights off one time she told me she thought that it was cheaper to keep the lights on because turning them off and on uses more electricity than having them constantly on.  Thank goodness for LED bulbs.

The other is not putting the cordless phone handsets back in the stands.  This happens all the time.   Not just one but all three of them.  Phone will ring and I have no idea where the damn handset is.  One time the wife called and I never answered.   She asked why I didn’t answer and I said if the handset is where it was supposed to be I would have.  She asked me why I didn’t look for it.  I told her I shouldn’t have to because it should be in the stand.   This past week we found out one is missing - can’t find it and the battery must have died because we have tried listening for it to ring and have heard nothing.   

Of course I keep telling her we don’t even need a house phone these days but that’s a whole other issue....

 
My dog slaps the side of the bed in the middle of the night because he “needs to go to the bathroom.”  What that means is he steps out onto the back patio, and comes back in expecting a treat because he would get one when we trained him. 4 am, slap slap slap.  He knows to hit the wooden part of the bed frame because it makes more noise. 

He is an #######. 

Also I love him more than anything.

Because SCIENCE!  What the hell?  

 
- Hiding my stuff. Chargers and the like.

- Cleaners always turn off the lamp switches. They are all on motion and smart switches, they don’t need to be turned off. 

- Nanny always closing the blinds 

- Biggest one I think is Mrs. O always leaving random glasses of water out on the counter. I feel like a composer in a symphony about to play Beethoven squeaking my finger along the tops of all the glasses

The only one my wife does is this. She leaves the vacuum cleaner usually in a spot where it will do maximum damage to me when I come home and go around a corner or through a doorway then blammo I got a ####in vacuum cleaner doing tai Kwan doh all on my legs and then I'm on the ground trying not to get choked out.

 
The shoes-- :wall: except my wife's favorite thing to do is when we sit down for dinner, she will leave her shoes under the table. I am like WTF!!  Either that or whatever couch she sits on, sure enough the shoes are left right there on the floor where she sits down.. 

Oh, bottled water!! No one in my house finishes an entire bottle and so I am left with these half filled bottles throughout the house that no one claims and no one wants because they are old and not cold. 

Finally the thing that no one in my house (except me) seems to be able to do is put things back where you got them when you are done with them. If you need to use toe nail clippers, put them back in the medicine cabin. Great, you needed the lint roller, don't leave it in the middle of the kitchen table. I can never find a pair of scissors in my house because sure enough the wife or kids took one of the 4-5 pairs we own, used them and then left them wherever said project was completed at. 

Don't get me wrong, i am far from being a neat freak. I just hate clutter. It drives me crazy.

 
When you pull in the garage, straighten the damn wheels.  How hard is that???

This is my strategy I use for everything around the house. Sweep poorly, do the dishes poorly, wash the clothes on the wrong settings. My gf handles most of the inside house work now based on my cleaning performance. To be fair I do outside work and take care of the pool.

THIS

my wife has crashed in to the garage, my car, run over objects in the driveway, etc. because she pulls in & turns so the nose of her car is at an angle, puts the car in park and then turns the wheel for reasons that she either doesn't realize, doesn't understand or doesn't want to admit.

when it comes time to back out, if she bothers to use the rearview mirror, it's just a complete cluster of her adjusting the wheel & having to back up, pull forward (repeat) until she gets out.

if i tell her to just pull in straight and leave the wheel alone so she can just back straight out she goes nuts.

:shrug:

 
Dang, it appears as if my wife and 17 year old son are actually composites of everyone else's wife and son. 

99% of everything mentioned in here are the same silent impotent gripes I have.

Dishwasher complaints seem universal. My wife does everything mentioned in here, I always have to restack everything. But what really irks me is when she loads dishes still fully encrusted with food into DW....so I have to take out and rinse (and often scrub, if they've been there a few days).

The guy with the wife and the pile of clothes by the bed.....that's me with the same wife. The shoes that pile up in the foyer. The clean and folded laundry not put away that ends up on floor... to be washed again after being mistaken as dirty. Like someone earlier I thread, I also somehow ended up responsible for cleaning cat boxes (3 in basement, it's kind of a PITA).

Leaving a vehicle with 1/64 th of a gallon of gas left in it. Watermelon size gobs of TP left in toilet after simple routine (#1) wipe. Grease poured down the kitchen sink drain (after previously calmly explaining why not to do that).

 
There’s 5 other people in my house - I haven’t read the thread yet but will just go and LIKE every post because I’m sure whatever you people post is something one of these numbnuts does and drives me insane.

My wife and the pile of shoes she let’s build up by the front door. She’s generally a neat person. There’s more clutter than I prefer since she buys too much stuff but it’s generally ok...except for all the damn shoes by the front door. I might leave a pair or at most 2, but I swear she won’t put any shoes back in her shoe rack until I start #####ing about it.

I realize there's a more general 'annoyance' thread, but let's get a little more specific on the things that your wife or kids do at home that annoy you.  Mine include:

- leaving a bag of chips with just crumbs or drink container with sub-1/4 glass of liquid.

- parking car in garage that barely leaves room for second car.

- going and taking a shower minutes after I say, "dinner's almost ready"

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.
