Mine, She turned absolutely everything off at the bloody plug!!

Go to make a coffee, check water flick switch, come back in 5 mins, pour kettle, stone cold coffee mess in a cup, then mess in the sink!!!

Make my lunch, sit down on the sofa, TV remote, Arhhhh

It really infuriates me, and no rational reason to do it other than her mother does it!


Does anyone else have this problem?

No, because I know how to operate a switch so just turn it back on!

My Mum does this, drives me mad when I go visit my folks, she does it to the microwave so the clock is always wrong, would love to workout the cost of electricity that they're saving not having the clock running....

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.

Does the washing up and then leaves the dirty water in the bowl for someone else to empty....decided to give up moaning / huffing in case she says 'if you can do better you know what to do'!

She replies to my texts with "fk off, stalker! I don't even know who you are!"

But, I do love that sense of humour!

My ex was the untidiest girl I've ever met - a real believer in the 'floordrobe'. Unfortunately I'm the polar opposite, and like stuff tidy and organised, and we clashed over it a lot. She was incapable of putting anything away - when it got to the point where stuff had to be cleared off the sofa in order to sit down on it, a blazing argument ensued, and that was that.

Mine will sometimes tell me about something which involves several steps, but will leave out one or more steps. Or add steps that don't relate to the thing she is telling me about.

  • Always on her mobile, texting or FB'ing, then moans at me when I do it.
  • Always tidies stuff away and then denies moving what I am looking for.
  • Has no concept how the heating in the house actually works.
    1. Likes a chat on the doorstep with the heating on and front door wide open.
    2. Won't check that windows or internal doors are actually closed beofore turning the heating up.
  • Says something or we have a chat and agree something and then completely denies ever saying it; I actually think she has either genuinely forgotten or never took in the conversation in the first place.
  • Drives her car like she stole it, in too low a gear, no aticipation and brakes really hard, then moans about her fuel consumption.
  • The thing that really drives me mad though is she can never tell a story in one go, she goes off on a tangent or will answer a text and then get immersed in that and completely forget about what she had to tell me.
Still love her to bits though and I'm sure there are many things that I do that piss her off too.

I think the same, but have decided I am better off not knowing.

Every time she puts the washing machine or tumble drier on, she leaves the utility and kitchen door open when she comes into the front room. I ask her every time why she leaves the doors open as the racket drowns out the telly that we're not allowed to turn up because then it's too loud. Every time she then replies that she forgot, sorry. Every time. EVERY. TIME.

Same!

She'll start off on one story but then has to jump back to a preceding event and then goes off somewhere else! It's like living in a Quentin Tarantino film!

That and it would be quicker to observe her in real time than have her recount her tales! biggrin

Relentless, and I really do mean relentless, catalogue browsing.

I've never met anyone like it. She can browse clothes for ever. And then moans when after the 40th "what do you think of this" that I sound bored stless...!

Um, that's because I am.

Oh and her approach to grocery shopping. I go in, know what I want and buy it. Not her. EVERY SODDING AISLE! Oh, we've got to go up the "worlds food aisle" Why? No we don't.

I think Tesco should have a creche for the fellers, while their partners shop. It should have beer and football. Hang on, that's a pub. Oh well, that'll do for me.

I do love her though.
