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

When people can't properly close a bag on snacks.

For example: you know how on bags of goldfish, there's a bend at the opening to properly close it and keep it fresh? Well people in my house just bypass that manufactured fold and crumple fold it closed.

Seriously - are you people brain dead?  I so wish my kids were older so I could curse at them.

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.

This happens to me almost daily.  She tells me she’s waiting on me, so I turn off the football game or whatever and walk up.  Then she has to kiss the dogs good bye, then she forgets her purse upstairs.  Oh wait her chapstick isn’t in her purse so she has to go back to the bedroom.  She comes back and realizes her water bottle is almost empty and she has to refill it, even when we are going out to eat. :rant:   Then we walk outside where she realizes it’s colder than she thought so she contemplates grabbing a heavier jacket, but then doesn’t because it doesn’t match her boots so she puts on a scarf.    :wall:

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.

Mrs. Furley?

 
Leaving lights on, not shutting cupboards, drinking milk and not rinsing out the glass. These three things often happen at all at once and send me in a rage. 

 
No particular order:

Freak out over losing something because they just throw things anywhere when they come home

Knowing we have somewhere to go, and slacking off til the last minute. Then getting pissed off when I'm hovering when it's time to leave

20 minute showers.... 

20 minute #2's

Rinse the ####### food receptacle you used. Don't just throw it in the sink. 

30 minute tirade on the bad beat you just took at the table. Shut. The. ####. Up. It happens. Get over it.

I am undergoing a major home renovation and this issue was a main contributor to it. When we were planning, I insisted on a mud room for all that crap i trip over every day. I call it "my room for #### i dont want to see any more"

We have one.  It is majestic.  When we bought the house last year I thought it was the solution to all my problems.

However, my wife and kids like to walk right through it and throw their crap anywhere and everywhere ELSE in the house.   :angry:

There are different minor annoyances but the biggest thing, with boy 2 (13yo) and 4 (7yo) is their whining whenever we make them do chores or really anything they don't want to do. The 7yo I can kind of get over but the 13yo, I'm going to lose it one of these days.

15yo lacks motivation but at least he follows orders well. 

The only gripe with the wife is she gets UTIs way too easily.

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).
Click to expand...
And when you call her on it..... "Well I shouldn't have to do that that's why we have a dishwasher!"

:wall:

 
I forgot to add to mine and I know it has been mentioned in here, but I think my wife literally makes a contest out of how close she can run the gas tank to complete empty in her car. 

Last night I had 2-3 beers and we needed to go grab some quick take out. So the wife is going to drive, Starts car. Gas light comes on.

I am like, :Wow a little low there honey." 

Her: "No, it has plenty of gas."

Me: "Yeah, maybe to get the burgers, but it won't get you to work Monday."

Her:  :shrug:

Now, she hasn't ever run out, but every time she drives any one of our vehicles, I can count on it being close to empty when I go to use it. 

I guess after 29 years, I will have to keep her, but wow, some days it is maddening. 

 
I'm sure I do a ton more of annoying things but tats not what this thread is about. 

Can't complain about the dishes, b/c this is something my parents did that drove me nuts as a kid. Hated bringing friends or a girl home and seeing the pile of yesterday's dishes 'soaking' in there. Was so embarrassing. My MIL is fanatical about her sink, you won't find a crumb in it and would make her family wash all the pots BEFORE they ate, while all the junk was fresh and easily washable. So this was an easy issue for us when we got married. 

One of my bigger issues is the arbitrary definition of 'jobs' if the house. As in somehow, I got hired as the only person to actually take garbage outside the house. 

• I hate when my wife takes the garbage bag out of the can, puts a new bag in, and then leaves the untied, full one against the wall....3 feet from the garage door!!! Tie the SOB and just put it in the garage. I'll take it to the outside cans, but don't let it sit there all day!! 

• Also, there is a 1/2 wall there. She will stack all the empty bottles for recycling on it for me to take out...when right inside the garage door, 3 feet away is a recycle bin.  :rant: You literally just need to open the door and its right there.

:lmao:  I could understand if she just grabbed her mug and left the K-cup in the machine. But to take the time to brew the coffee, lift the handle, pull out the used K-cup, and then just leave it on the counter is hilarious.

 
Some of these behaviors seem like an intentional test of just how much our wives can get us to do without complaining.

I like your posts outside of the political forum, so when you lose the bet don't delete your account right away. We can figure something else out maybe.

omfg yes :hot:

eta: i put the recycling bin out at the end of our driveway this morning. hugged up against the 2 ft tall snowbank :hot: we have a double- wide driveway. i left for movie & lunch with my oldest this morning. wife took my youngest to a mommy & daughter breakfast.

i came home and the recycling bin was on the opposite side of the driveway :confused:
 

my wife backed in to it :mellow:

"it's not my fault that stupid thing was in the middle of the freaking driveway!!"

have i mentioned that i'm not allowed to park in the garage "because there's barely enough room for (her) car in there!"

it's 2-wide with room on the sides for garbage cans, ladders, etc.

she can still barely get in and out without hitting ####. it's surreal.

 
There are a few things my wife insist on me not washing, as if I’m a child.  Cast iron skillets, wooden cutting boards, pizza stones.  This would normally fine, except I’ve done the dishes the last two weeks to help out more as she is finishing her masters, has finals to study for, and just finished tax season.  Now we have cast iron skillets “soaking”, two nasty cutting boards taking up counter space and the pizza stone taking up the island.  I just might make it a point and see how many other things I’m not allowed to clean and get dirty at this point.

Good luck and congrats - when you’re done your job is to make sure they use it.

I’m maybe the worlds worst cook but I think this is a no-no for cast iron skillets.  Not supposed to let them sit and soak.  Unless the quotes meant they are just sitting there dirty.

Grass.

My backyard looks like a damn barrio street. Pure flattened dirt. So last fall I invested in having the yard reseeded so we can have grass. Gave explicit instructions to all family members that we need to stay off the lawn until the grass comes in so we can have a nice lawn again for everyone to play on.

I come home from work one day right as the baby grasses are coming up, and the wife and kids are out ON THE FUUUUUCKING LAWN PLAYING SOCCER AND RUNNING AROUND AND KILLING MY SWEET BABY GRASSES!!!!!!!!

So I drank about 6 Damitols.

It's maddening. All of it. My OCD is tingling just reading this thread.

Here's mine: my beautiful wife (she might read this) leaves multiple cups of water around the house so she doesn't need to carry a glass to other rooms. :wall:

Oh, hell no.  I’m angry for you right now.

Here’s two from almost 20 years ago.  When my wife and I were only married for about a year, her Mother and Stepfather got divorced.  Her Mom didn’t have a lot of money and needed a place to stay for a little while so she and my wife’s sister (who was 16 - @Homer J Simpson > hey) moved in with us in. 2 bedroom apartment.  I love both of them like it was my sister and Mom - they are good people and the overall experience was fine.  But there was two things that drove me insane.

First one was my MIL would fix popcorn in the microwave every single night and she liked her popcorn “well done” so it was slightly burnt and made the whole apartment smell.   :angry:

Second one was my SIL who would come in, go to the fridge and pull a Coke out of the fridge - the Coke I bought but was happy to share with her.  Almost every time she would take one sip and then sit it on my coffee table and not put a coaster down.  Then she’d go off and not drink any more of it and leave it sitting out so that night when I’m picking up and cleaning up before bed I would pour out an almost full drink.  

:rant: :rant:

Many of these apply to my house... but the one that gets me is putting spatulas in the drawer handle first.  Next time you go to open the drawer the head of the spatula blocks the door from opening.

Great one!  

A little sneak preview of my list - we have one of those tool turnabouts - wife will come home from shopping with a new spatula or large spoon and put it in the already overflowing tool turnabout.

Me: Can I throw this old spoon out that we’ve had for 12 years and cost like a $1?

Her: No!  It’s still good and I use it for X.

Me: Then why did you buy a new one?

Her: Oh, they were on sale.

:mellow:   :wall:

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!

Come to my house - we have 4 spatulas!!

ETA:  and a nice metal one!

I think my husband may be the Shropshire Slasher.  He's not tiny, but he walks VERY quietly.  I have the ears of a wolf, but I still can't hear him.  He's not doing it on purpose, but he walks up when I have the water running so I have even less chance of hearing him.  When I asked him to warn me, sometimes he'll say something one foot behind me.  It's too late then, Mr Slasher.

 
Turning off the lights at night.

When my boys starting staying up later than my wife and I on the weekends, I came down one morning and the entire main floor lights were on.  I told them clearly that if they were the last one to bed at night, they had to make sure all the lights were off.  The next time I come down, and its pitch black.  All lights off.

I woke up this morning, and my wife was the last one to bed.  Every single light was on.  Its not like she tried and forgot one, or left the hall light on so she could see her way up the stairs.  No, she left the hall light, two lamps in the living room, kitchen, and dining room lights all on.  :rolleyes:

Seinfeld recommends giving him a pack of tic-tacs.

We have six, but one of them is my BBQ spatula.  We also have three of those wooden stirring spoons, two whisks, three sets of measuring cups (not counting the two large 2cup measuring cups, and seven, that's right, SEVEN cutting boards.
