    I'm not talking bad sh1t here - just the trivial things that your partner / spouse / housemates do that get on your nerves.

    Mine:

    The missus puts the plates in to the dishwasher at all angles and I have to go straighten them out coz it annoys the hell outta me!

    Another is leaving the bath mat in the bathroom at a 'fancy' angle when all it does is catch in the door.

    Yeah the dishwasher thing is a pain. Everytime I go to put something in it has to be organised.

    The other thing that annoys me is when she tidies up. She goes by that theory "out of sight, out of mind". Basically it means she doesn't care were she tidies stuff. Jackets in drawers, letters in behind the microwave, shoes in the bathroom press. Takes me ages to find anything. I mean, when I put my coat on the back of the chair i know where it is. It's fine right there. It doesn't need to be tidied.

    If I hear that fucking vacuum cleaner one more fucking time...

    Never fucking stops with it. She actually wore out her first Dyson in less than a year. Last time I buy her such an expensive birthday present.

    When they come home drunk and collapse in a puddle of their own piss, shit and vomit.

    My girlfriend uses the word "literally" wrong.

    "I couldn't believe it, my head literally exploded!"

    THAT'S THE ONE WORD WE HAVE TO LET US KNOW THAT IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!!!! AND THAT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!


    STOP IT!!!!!

    Mr Weirdo,

    I would be concerned about constant hoovering, Mrs Mattjacks sister burnt out 13 , yes 13 vacuum cleaners in one year and then spent 7 weeks in the somersault factory.

    'Tis a sign they are losing the marbles.

    One of my housemates eats with her mouth open and all I can hear is 'tsndfsrhukjsfhgfnjn'.

    Another of my housemates takes big gulps of air whenever she's talking, in the middle of works so all I hear is 'an[gulp]d then I sa[gulp] how are y[gulp]ou' for example.

    When I used to share the most annoying thing was using all the milk and leaving the tiniest amount for me when I'd come back after a weekend away. Have no problem with anyone using anything belonged to me; just replace the fcuking thing so there's milk for coffee/tea in the morning.

    No problem with clean and hygienic. But twice a day? There really is no need.

    When the first person who goes to bed on any given night takes the only lighter with them, and on top of that does it on the sly because it's not theirs to begin with which means those left awake don't even have a candle or some shit.

    Throwing recycling in the rubbish.

    That's classic get out of jail free when house sharing. Like I didn't finish ALL the milk / biscuits / butter / washing powder, etc just coz you left the tinniest bit at the end of the packet.

    Flushing sanitary towels down the toilet and then all of us have to pay when the septic tank backs up!

    This!

    Even worse when empty packets/multi-packs are left in shelves/fridges. It's like being in denial about finishing someone's food.

    When you find out the cereal is finished, but the box is left there with the annoying crumby remnants. Most things don't bug me too much, but if it's something you use first thing in the morning, it's important for physical and mental health.

    Just be thankful they don't leave a unwashed whey shaker around. Lad in work did and when he cleaned it, the canteen smelled of death.

    Putting the cap on halfway so that when you pick up a bottle by the cap it goes EVERYWHERE.

    My other half smokes one or two cigarettes a day,usually in the evening, but she doesnt want the kids to see her (she gave them up 2 years ago, wink wink) so she goes upstairs to the en suite window. So when i head for a shower the fuppin smell lingers for hours in there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,738 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    I'm still living at home, but the Ma has a terrible tendency to re-organise anything that looks slightly out of place, and put it in places where no-ones bound to find it, and then forgets to tell anyone.

    So basically it ends up that I'm running around the house like a gob****e looking for my stuff, and she pipes up after 5 minutes or so saying, 'oh yeah, I moved it over there'.

    Leaving the toilet seat up. It's my bathroom, if you want to use it the seat goes down after!

    In college my roommate used to shag one of our classmates in our room as I was sleeping in the other single bed in the room about 3 feet away!!!

    Is sleeping college slang for cracking one off?

    My gf's over-use of the EPG onscreen info gets on my nerves. What, you really need to take up a good two-thirds of the screen to read what The Godfather is about (this actually happened)? She can't watch an episode of a programme without checking what the EPG says about it first either. Dunno why she can't let it be, y'know, a surprise?

    Maybe she wants a heads up before she wastes an hour or so watching something she deems to be a heap of ****e?

    It's for things we'll be watching anyway, we do so every week. I've never understood the market for things like those soap magazines that tell you precisely what's going to happen. Where's the point in watching the soap itself then?
