Habits and practices at your home that drive you crazy...

My biggest peeve is when the trash can is full and my husband keeps squashing stuff into it instead of just changing the bag.
I end up changing the bag.

[RandomGuy]

My family aren't aggravating thank god. Random people piss me off more

What'd I do?

[CosmicCowboy]

I mean, how DO you tell your wife she needs to start pushing away from the table a little sooner? I can tell you for a fact that offering to go on a diet with her was apparently the WRONG thing to say.

You put smaller portions on the plate.

My wife chatters all the time about (people she works with, etc.) I could care less about. I'll nod my head and make the occasional comment but in truth I'm just patronizing her and it's in one ear and out the other. Then she gets all pissy when she makes a reference to something she talked about three weeks ago and I don't have a clue what she is talking about.......She will get all snarky and say "I TOLD you she and her husband were having problems"...

I made the mistake recently of trying to be honest about that. Bad mistake, and I am still paying for it. Best to nod your head and grunt in assent, hopefully at appropriate times. Men and women just gossip differently. Learning the hows and whys of this is a fine art.

Ouch.

Do you just take it out, and then not replace it though? There's the rub.

I take it out, replace the bag and then put it outside in trash bins.

throwing away dirty diapers in the fireplace

[Venti Quattro]

They (ppl at our home) also always like to configure their own way (TV, internet, even the remote) and when something goes wrong, they always blame me and ask me to fix it. Has anyone experienced this annoying behavior? Like WTF you configured that and you're gonna blame me if it malfunctions?

[CuckingFunt]

You want to talk irritating, try designing a new house or addition with your wife. We are adding on a new kitchen and I wasn't about to take the responsibility of the layout because if I did after it was all done she would be throwing in my face like "why didn't you make this drawers instead of a cabinet"...uh,uh...learned my lesson last time...now we are on our 7th or 8th plan revision (complete redesigns) yet she is ing because I haven't started construction yet. I keep telling her it's a lot cheaper to make those changes on paper than after I have poured ing concrete.

That one was blatant as . You're not even trying anymore, cowboy.

[CuckingFunt]

I live alone. In general I'm pretty good at not annoying myself, though occasionally I'll do something stupid like not change a light bulb right when it goes out and end up having to do it when I get home after dark.

[mavs>spurs]

I go on meltdown overdrive when someone in the house forgets to...

a.) flush the toilet
b.) close the fridge properly

How ing hard could those chores be to accomplish?

stop living at home with your mom and little brother at age 30 bro and things like that won't happen

Sorry, but it's true and irritating as . Does it really bother you that some people actually do things like remodel their house?

we have a winner.

Of course not. I've done it myself.

I just think the richer joke is, even after all this time, still somewhat amusing.

Would it make you feel better if I told you I remodeled my house over the years in stages as I could afford it focusing on bedrooms/bathrooms while the kids were living at home and my current kitchen is the size of an average apartment kitchen?

[2pac > Kobe]

bloody pads that's the I don't like

[CuckingFunt]

That assumes that I somehow feel bad about what you've already said, which isn't the case. You aren't required to justify your home remodeling schedule to me or to anyone else.

That's kind of what makes the richer joke funny in the first place.

Oh. HaHaHa. What a funny joke.

If one uses the other slice of bread as a napkin to wipe the knife, that usually solves that problem.

Peanut butter remnants usually remain. I prefer that intermixing doesn't take place to avoid contamination.

Even worse might be going from jelly to butter, tbh.

[clambake]

having to constantly explain how to use the thermostat.

[mrsmaalox]

My kids and I watch very little tv---tvs in our house are on for about an average of one hour per day combined; but if the hubby is in house, every tv is turned on and left blaring when he leaves the room 10 min later. Nothing bugs me more than being in one room and hearing an unwatched tv blaring in another!

[Woo Bum-kon]

So am I.

You need to be cleansed from this planet.

[Avante]

It took us a few years to get it down, now it works like a well oiled machine.
