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

sitting here, vegging out with the NBA game on. too lazy to turn the lights on. wife is in the other room doing..... something. lights off.

she comes in here and turns the lights on. i ask why and she says "it's weird that you're sitting in here with the lights off."

so i say "aren't you sitting in the other room with the lights off?"

her: "yeah... but it's weird when you do it."

GET OUT

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.

God, my wife and mother-in-law are like this.  They load my dishwasher exactly the same and it drives me nuts.  They put the bowls in the area with skinny slots and can only fit a bowl in every 4th slot, then they put our skinny plates that fit perfectly fine in those slots and put them in the wider slots that fit the bowls perfectly fine.  They both put glasses straddling the pegs in the upper rack instead of in between the pegs.  I feel bad complaining though as it means they did the dishes, but if they had any common sense it would save me from having to rearrange it.

The worst is when I rearrange it and they put additional dishes in and don't follow my pattern

I think I'd go postal if my husband did this.  Have you tried asking your wife why she arranges the dishes like that?  I'd really like to know.  (If it won't get you killed, that is.)

Yes.... she says "you do it your way, and I'll do it my way"

Except her way sucks and fits about 20 dishes in the dishwasher

Have you tried washing them inside out, and then turning them right side out?

Of course. They don't clean when inside out. Believe me, I've done that and pulled fistfuls of grass out even after washing.

Edit: Never typed "fistfuls" before, had to look that one up.

Based on your posts in this thread, I think you could gather your notes into a solid foundation for a sitcom.

My place is a mess.

Full disclosure - I live by myself.  However, I have started to clean up.  I was fed up with the mess and I told myself that I was tired of my shenanigans and I had better clean the place up, so I have started with the cleanup.

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 yeah, well here's mine:

My beautiful wife (she also might read this) leaves multiple cups without water around the house so she doesn't need to carry a glass to the kitchen.

we moved in to a new place in July of last year. before we moved in my wife mapped out where all my stuff should be stored/hung-up. she wasn't about to let me just willy nilly pick a closet or space in the basement that would impact her master storage plan.

when we moved she allocated me one closet & one dresser. she gets a closet, a dresser, a wardrobe and the spare room for her clothes. i was told to "get rid of old clothes you don't wear anymore".  i keep my rotation of clothes updated. constantly dropping things off at Goodwill. if i'm not wearing it, i'm not keeping it for nostalgia sake. 

meanwhile................. there's nothing hanging in her closet. it's just a pile of...... anything you can imagine. lined up along the wall on her side of the bed? totes. jammed full of clothes she stopped wearing 10-15 years ago. lined up against the bed? totes. jammed full of i have no idea. they haven't been opened yet. what's in the wardrobe? a couple folded towels. she has three laundry baskets spilled over with clothes, bras, etc. all in our bedroom. there's a small path from bathroom to the bed where she can walk. 

she has taken over half my youngest daughter's bedroom with a clothes rack and uses the kid's closet to store shoes, sweaters, old dresses, etc.

it's been 9 months. 

god forbid i say anything, she'd probably cut me. last time i made mention of the clutter she had a freaking meltdown like a hungry 2 year old.

Lol.   My wife will mention that the dishwasher is full and needs to be run, with extra dishes already filling up the counter and sink.  I open it up, rearrange things, put in the extra stuff, and still have enough space to wait for the dirty dishes from dinner.

Also on the dishwasher topic...

mine NEEDS to run the thing on the full cycle with heat dry.....usual run time 3.5 hrs (and it gets run every night).    Basically half a work day to clean the 5 dishes, 4 glasses and ONE LARGE POT that takes up 80% of the bottom rack.   Is this really necessary?!?!    If she finds out I only ran it on the 1 hr wash with heat dry (about 1.5 hrs total run time), it might as well have been on the "Sewer Water" setting.

This is actually an improvement as I at least made her get on board that the additional Sanitizing setting which adds an add'l hour (4.5 hrs total) probably isn't neeeded.  I've simply given up trying to convince her of anything more.

 
I've said a few things my wife does that annoy me but my wife is a tetris ####ing master when it comes to dishes.  Just the right amount of space between items to make sure they're able to get clean with no wasted space.  I hate to say it but she's probably better at it than I am (and I'm not terrible).

 
We have a small receptacle underneath our kitchen sink for recycling.  My wife and 3 kids are good about putting the correct things in there.  What irks me is that I'm the only one that can take that stuff out to the main recycle bin outside.  Oh, and placing the clam shell (packaging of apples from Costco) on top of the under-the-sink recycle bin and then piling everything else on top of it is not helping. 

My son just turned 10 in Feb.  He's already been taking 20 min dumps and 20 min showers for a year and a half now.  Can't imagine what my water bill will be like when he "discovers" himself. 

We've got 2 dogs, a cat and 2 guinea pigs.  Why am I the only one that can pick up poop, scoop litter, and clean cages?  No way in hell we're getting the chickens and pot-belly pig that everyone wants.  F that noise.

I've learned to pick my battles. And this is one issue I've relented on. She's got me trained to turn on TWO living room lamps at dusk. We use those energy saving low wattage bulbs so I don't really mind. My beautiful wife is away on a business trip this week and my dumb ### is still turning on both lights at 6:45pm.

I can't have a light on while watching TV.  It bugs my wife but she's relented.  She does have a few of those oil burning lamps around the house and I have to go turn all 3 of those off before bed every night.

This, I just want to have a app that will shut down the electrical box.  So I don't have to go shut off all the lights.  That I don't have an app already for.

but what really bugs the #### out of me is the clothes on the floor, your a stay at home mom, put the ####### clothes away.  I work night shift, so is it to much  too ask to make the ####### bed.  I don't understand how all the sheets are off every ####### night.  So I have to make the bed twice every f in day.  And last but not least  how the #### is their more water on the floor than in the bath tub when you're done taking a bath.  At least wipe up the puddles..   might have to double my happy pills cause this thread is enraging me.

 
Beautiful wife messaging me after I head out for a few hours - "I am cleaning the first floor. The kids are in the basement. Please come in through the garage when you get home. I plan to get back on a schedule again beginning tomorrow. "

Me - "Okay, thank you. I'll be back in 10 days."

For whatever reason I end up with a massive headache if I have a light on while watching TV.  Doesn't happen if the sun shines in during the day while I'm watching either, just a light at night.  It's ####ing weird.

i've assumed up until this point that everyone was talking about a wife that also works.   some of this stuff is just insane if we're talking about a woman that's staying at home.  unless there's young kids involved and when I say young I'm talking under 3, there's no excuse for what I've been reading.

Get an Alexa, she'll do it for you.  On FiOS you can even remotely shut down individual devices from the internet.

One of the reasons I divorced from my first wife who was a SAHM was that she didn't like to clean and would try to make me the bad guy since I was pointing out all the clutter.  Uhhh, if you're staying home, that's part of your ####### job.  You're not here to play candy crush all day.  

 
Turning up the heat each time you feel a little chill. Especially when you get this “chill” while walking around in shorts, no socks etc.

I dont see any reason the thermostat should be above 70.

I assumed all fbg wife's  were stay at home wife's.

 
I'm pretty patient and relaxed with house stuff.  Basically, I don't ##### and complain about anything and she does the majority of the housework and the not so fun stuff with the kids. So, yeah, while sometimes she may leave a light on or whatever it doesn't bother me. 

Only thing that really does is, in the summer here when it's 100+ to 120s she'll be bringing in groceries, bags from a trip, or whatever and just leave the door to the outside open so she can walk in and out.  For whatever reason it drives me nuts and I just picture cash burning.

Because everyone else is freezing?  That's a ridiculous temperature.

No, it’s not. 

Notice I said “... while walking around in shorts, no socks etc”

That’s not what a freezing person chooses to wear is it? No. The extra 2 degrees of comfort you desire, could easily be attained by putting on a pair of socks. 

Still chilly? Sure go ahead. But let’s try adding socks or maybe long pants to lounge in ... before adjusting the temp for everyone else.
