We have had a new water cylinder installed, north of £2k, to bring the house up to mains pressure. Mrs G insists on boiling the kettle to wash up and pour in the sink for a wash, instead of just turning the hot tap on. I know it takes a few seconds for water to warm up, but I told her she was weird. smile

Show her the electric meter spinning into orbit when the kettle is on. Doubt it will make much difference though knowing them there wimmin.

Leaves her clothes on the bathroom floor
Ugh, my ex did that, though in the bedroom, when there's a perfectly good wash-basket!

Ah yes.

My Mrs has this bizarre habit of letting her mobile phone battery simply die the death, every day, without fail. Sometimes we can be out and about and my phone has no signal, so I ask to use hers - "Be quick though it's only on 1%"

Arrgghh FFS!

Im glad im not the only one whos missus does this stuff, another one is she must lose her phone at least once a day! "Can you just give my phone a ring i cant find it!" also with the battery on >5%

Also she said to me the other night, "i think i have lost the back of my phone", I asked if she knew where it was, "no" she said... well its lost then isn't it! 2 weeks on and she still hasn't found it! hehe

Bless her, its a good job im here to look after her biggrin

Puts the gas hob or oven on FULL regardless of what is to be cooked. To her, it only has two settings.

Rice? AFTERBURNERS ARE GO

If by some miricle she has some battery life, it will be on silent so I still can't make contact as she doesn't know the phone is ringing.

Opening windows in the winter when the heating is on.

Sucks her thumb

Goes to the gym, walking, running to maintain figure but can never be arsed to walk upstairs.

Shaves hard skin of her feet with what is effectively a cheese grater

Women don't understand thermostats. Its a well known fact. To them turning the oven up to 240 will make it reach 180 faster.

Sounds like all my sales execs at work. They're never away from the fking things and always on facebook, whatsapp etc. But when you actually need to speak to them as they've disappeared they NEVER answer the fking thing!

We had to do this in the caravan my parents had in the late 70s / early 80s as they didn't have water heaters back then. Maybe she's a bit of a p i k e y wink

Talks to me when she knows I'm guaranteed to not be able to hear her - brushing my teeth, running a tap, in the shower, music on loud, she's upstairs while I'm downstairs etc. All I hear is her murmuring on about something.

Asked me to put up a coat rail at the front door yet hangs her coat over the heated towel rail in the kitchen.

Leaves the kitchen towel on the worktop after using it. I suppose she can't get it on the towel rail because of her coat.

I've threatened to start hanging the kitchen towels on the coat rail at the front door.
