What does the OH do that really ****es you off?
Discussion
Not a OH but a girl friend....
Has an OCD about washing her hands, fair enough. Always uses the hot tap, again fair enough but it's a combi boiler so needs a few seconds to warm up but she will not wait for this so has finished washing her hands before it's even got warm & instead just moans there's never any hot water.
No matter how many times I've educated her about the combi boiler & the fact that the way she uses it she's just firing it up for no reason it still makes no sense to her.

Waits until I am in another room, usually with running water noise or TV noise in the background, and then starts a conversation with me.
Tells me food is ready when I'm in the middle of something so I go in, wash hands etc and she says "Its not quite ready yet, could you..."
Tells me she's told me things that she hasn't. Well, maybe she has but I was probably in another room at the time.
Only turns her mobile phone on when she wants to make a call, that is if she even has it with her and its got any charge.

Leaves empty drinks cans/bottles next to the sink where the washing up is, instead of throwing them in the bin which is next to the sink.
I washed them up once. Still didn't deter her
Does not put the milk back in the fridge and has one of these stupid little cups things to put the hot teabags. Why not just put them in the bin but oh no, I am the one who has to empty it when the damn thing is full!I washed them up once. Still didn't deter her
Mine does the talking to me from another room thing too.
On balance I reckon I'm lucky given the above and how much my mates moan about their OH, and the one thing that springs to mind is trivial, but really gets to me: Never putting the bloody lid on anything properly!
Example. Uses jam/honey/marmite whatever. Replaces lid with enough rotation to allow picking up by said lid, but not enough for it to remain on whilst I put the sodding thing back in the cupboard, so that during its journey the glass and content falls to the floor leaving me with just the lid in hand.

Lol, my 15 year old daughters speaciality with the mayo.Whenever we're about to go away for a few days or more - and this will be as the car is being loaded - she'll start cleaning the house. Which is particularly annoying as the rest of the time she barely cleans at all.
She has two part-time jobs. Apparently she's very good at them; she got the second on the strength of a recommendation from the first.
Guess what she does at work?
Go on, guess.

Leaving the kitchen like a bomb site after cooking.
She leaves peelings and food waste directly on the bench for a start. I put some blue roll next to the chopping board and scrape the leftover bits directly onto that and pop it in the bin. She, well doesn't.
I admit, she does most of the cooking but when I do it I fill the sink and wash as I go so when the meal is finally done, all that needs doing afterwards is washing a couple of plates, cuttlery and a pan or two. She on the other hand leaves everything to build up. While I'm on the subject, why would anyone use 4 bowls, 15 pieces of cuttlery, 3 chopping boards and various other pots and pans to make a meal for two?
If you asked her about me, she'd probably complain that I turn up the TV to a normal level so I can actually hear it. She thinks I'm deaf and turns it down to a level only certain species can hear. Actually, best not ask her about what I do that p****s her off, she'd be on all day.

This... so many times this over... especially when the she then puts all the boards in the sink at an angle, as they are quite big they take up all the space and chucks everything on top. Cant use the sink anymore until its cleaned, there is a huge space to stack them neatly next to the sink, but nope, everything in...

How one person can make so much mess from doing something like making a sandwich is beyond my comprehension.
We have recently moved to a different town that has more options for recycling.
My wife is now a recycling Nazi.
Now I don't mind a bit of recycling, but she has started to check the kitchen bin in case I have illegally chucked my brekky banana skin in there.
She gets quite upset if some plastic packaging says 'not suitable for recycling.'
It's currently doing my head in, although I think commonsense is beginning to prevail now she has realised how much crappage isn't recyclable after all.
She is bloody marvellous in so many other ways though, so on balance, she is staying for another 34 years.
