Those little annoying traits of the other half
Discussion
Here's a few of my minor or petty annoyances courtesy of Lady Trumpton
- When the soap in the wash basin in the bathroom has ran out, instead of opening the bathroom cabinet and getting out a fresh bar, she will just nick the one out of the shower. I get in shower and then realise and have to get out, dripping water everywhere and get one from the cabinet.
- Always seems to forget to not put the washing machine on when I'm having a shower. Pressure drops and shower goes ice cold.
- Instead of putting her crap away, like post, magazine and perhaps a few other bits she will make a neat little pile and leave it somewhere
- Wants to tell me all about her day the very second I get through the door from work
- When heating something in the microwave she will open the door with 1 second left and the display then just shows '1' instead of displaying the time.
Like I say, 1st world problems and minor at that and I love her to pieces despite these things
So anyone else care to share those lovable little traits?

Another belter is a driving based trait. Generally she's a good driver....however
Say she's in the middle lane on the motorway and is wanting to move to the fast lane to overtake she will have her hand perched on the indicator stalk and look in the side mirror until it is safe. THEN she will put the indicator on and pull out.
I often tell her its best to check and then put on the indicator as its likely someone will allow her to pull out or at least be aware of her intentions. She thinks thats wrong though.

The mentalist that used to live next door to me used to slam her double-glazed kitchen door all the time, drove me up the wall, you could hear/feel the whole house shake as she gradually tried to dislodge the whole UPVC unit from its fixing.
We recently had ours replaced with similar. What does the wife do? Yep, joins club door slam! This think is precision engineered to close in total silence if you can be bothered just to use the handle.
I took her to task about it today, before seeing this thread. She gave it the big eye-roll as I stood in the rain and gave her a lesson in door closure etiquette!
Maybe she likes having her back doors slammed hard?We recently had ours replaced with similar. What does the wife do? Yep, joins club door slam! This think is precision engineered to close in total silence if you can be bothered just to use the handle.
