Never mind! It won't be long before she will be able to put in a claim for whiplash.

A mate's Mum used to do that. Every time she gave us a lift anywhere I'd be sitting there biting my fist as we came to a stop at a deserted roundabout whilst she looked both ways..... mad

Here in the US we have STOP signs and legally you must come to a complete stop, then move off. I hate doing that, I roll up slowly then move off. My wife hates me doing that, she must come to a complete stop at every one which winds me up no end, even though she is doing the right thing!

A mate used to do this, but he was dyslexic and probably couldn't cope with the multi-thinking bit.

Perhaps she is dyslexic?

USA has '4-way Stops' at crossroads where, in UK we would have, say, a mini roundabout. One can meet a whole series of these in residential areas and, believe me, having to come to a complete stop at junctions with no traffic and excellent all-round visibility is very frustrating. Fun, though, where there is traffic, with a stationary vehicle at every stop line and no-one daring to move! Usually, first come, first served.

Mrs Scouse suggested I take our little girl to Sainsburys and do the shop whilst she got on with a load of housework undisturbed.

Good stuff, ended up in the Costa, walked around Smyths, done the shopping, give her plenty of time to do the stuff at home.

Got back, walked in and she was sat on the couch flapping her gums on the phone, not a finger lifted in all the time we had been out. Just as I put the last item of shopping away she put the phone down. rolleyes

Candles.
Ramming the kitchen bin so full that you need to be Popeye to pull the full bag out due to the suction.
Ramming the washing machine so full that NOTHING comes out clean.
Leaving deadly weapons sharp end up in the dishwasher.
Thinking the 2 second rule is the 2 car length rule. Whatever speed.
Random gear changing.
Thinking emotions solve problems.

I tell her we're leaving at 7pm. I've worked this out exactly so we won't be late. She knows this. When I call her at 6:58pm to ask her if she's ready she says yes, I then grab the keys and am just about ready to go when she then dives into the toilet for a p*ss before we leave. We then end up leaving at 7:10pm and she wonders why I drive fast to make up time.

Every. Single. F*cking. Time!

Nail clippers. I like to have a particular type. I have a set in my wash bag and a set in my drawer in the bathroom.

Except my wife and kids always borrow them. Which would be fine if they ever put them back. But they never ever do. Once they are gone, they are lost. If I ask where they are, I'm told to look where I keep them. I wouldn't be asking if they were where I kept them and where I return them. every. single. time.

I have resorted to buying five at a time and distributing around the bathroom. They still disappear. I have bought, no word of a lie, 20 of them over the last 10 years. Where the feck do they put them?

Put them on a chain and screw it to the inside of the drawer. wink

Good idea bhp.

Unfortunately I don't think you are allowed to do that with your wife and kids anymore.It's against their human rights,or something.smile

Still, for all the moaning you lot are doing, most of you would probably miss your other half if she left you. I'd happily put up with the annoying traits my now ex had if it meant having her back now. (She suddenly dumped me two weeks ago and left the country two days later, using very flimsy excuses for justifying the split of what was, I thought, a good relationship)

I'm not bitter, honest!

(But to fit in with the thread, she would constantly leave the toilet lid up. I always close it, so there was never any moaning of leaving the toilet seat up with me, just me moaning she never closed it)

She doesn't slam the car door, she pulls it too gently, taking 2 or 3 attempts to close it. It's 1960's engineering, give it a good pull :P

Her accent makes some words sound weird, and complains when ask her to repeat them.

Other than that, she's amazing

She will watch me walk into the living room, across it and sit down.

Then she will ask for something - can you push the door to, can you get me a drink etc?

Argh, at least ask before I have parked myself!

She keeps telling me she likes a cockatoo.

I thought she meant a type of bird.

Says half a sentence, then peters out - so I have to repeat the half sentence turning it into a question. She's convinced she finished the sentence so gets angry that I didn't listen the first time.
