Let me guess....."I'm desperate". Mrs M3 only ever goes to the loo when "desperate". Seems there is a bladder switch which only operates between "don't need" and "desperate". A bit like her internal temperature regulation which only has "freezing" or "boiling" settings and absolutely nothing inbetween.
Drawers.
My other half opens drawers, but as far as I am aware she has not yet realised that afterwards they can be slid back to to their closed position. Occasionally they are half-way closed but only if they are obstructing access to the draw below. Some of them (on her side of the bedroom) are now serving duty as impromptu shelves - books or notepads get balanced up on the corner of the draw and then serve as a surface for glasses of water, pill bottles and whatever else to be piled upon.
One day, the chest of drawers will overbalance and dump the whole lot on the floor. I will laugh.

Mrs Don will slice bits off a red pepper and use them in her salad.
She never, but NEVER, removes the little bar code sticker prior to doing this. So when I pick up the part used pepper and slice it up to go into my salad lunch I get little bits of sticker in there.
I should learn to check - but my habit when starting anything new is to remove all the appropriate packaging. Hers is not. But when the fking thing is practically invisible until you bite into it.
AAAAAARGH!
She's upstairs coughing her guts up with a horrid cold at the moment. Poor dab. Love her very dearly...

Double dipping in the spread. No excuse for that, absolutely inexcusable.
Just get what spread you need, put it on toast, put the knife down. You really don't need to scoop half the tub out, wipe it all over your breakfast and then put the crumb ridden remains back on the tub for me to have to navigate round.

How the fk can you go from nothing to that in 30 seconds!! When I need a piss I can then do 4 hours+ if needed. (7 hour commute on a friday)

Aaarrgh! Mines the same! Loads of times I've pulled the milk or orange juice out of the fridge and given it a quick shake.
Lids on bottles screwed halfway on, just tighten the fker!!!
Thought this was just mine. It's utterly infuriating. It's not just food containers either, a few years ago when we had a cat we also had a hamster which would safely roll around the floor in one of those sealed plastic ball things - except one day it was her that put the lid on..... or not properly of course - hamster got out and had 10 seconds of freedom before the cat snaffled it - but she still didn't learn. grrrrrr!!Lids on bottles screwed halfway on, just tighten the fker!!!

Grr. This! And leaving bits of jam in the butter, and butter in the jam... Freaks me out as I'm quite OCD about fresh food!Just get what spread you need, put it on toast, put the knife down.

Argh. We went into London yesterday and took her car as mine is showing an engine warning light I need to get looked at.
It was cold, so the heating went on full.
It got too hot so was turned down to minimum
Then back to hot
Then minimum
Every five minutes for an hour.
Climate control makes no difference she simply doesn't seem to understand the 'steady state' model.

I'm afraid there is not a woman on earth who understands any sort of heating controls; whether climate control in the car or a thermostat in the house, mine and I should imagine every other female in the world, wacks the thermostat up in the house to around 25; "to heat the house quicker"!HTP99 said:

Go to sleep all toasty and snug. Wake up three am with my bks so pulled up I can tickle them and blow my nose at the same time. any attempt at trying to recover even a smidge of feather filled covering is met with snorts, grunts and noises last recorded by Attenborough when recording Life on Earth.

Yep, you try and pull it back and you are greeted with a barrage of abuse saying that you always steal the duvet, however when you get up for a wee you can see about 3 foot of it hanging down her side of the bed!!Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
