gav-ffc Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 My Girlfriend mutes the tv if she’s stopped watching it rather than turn it off, leaves lights on, plug sockets on with nothing plugged in and boils a kettle 2-3 times before remembering to make tea. I had it drilled into me to save electric all my childhood and this turns me into a raging mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At worst you should be telling her thanks for trying but it doesn’t look great and we need professionals in. I can only assume this out of character outburst is due to the new Irn Bru recipe. Relax G_man If she's any brains she will organise the decorator herself and when they arrive ask them if they can sort her husband's mess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst is definitely when she is 1st to get the electric toothbrush off the charger. She actually refuses to charge it when we aren't in the house because it will burn the house down but will happily leave the charger on charging the air all day when we are out.

Bairney The Dinosaur Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Every evening I get home from work it’s a 5 minute sweep of the flat turning shit off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 My girlfriend does that as well. Leaves all plugs on at all times. Doesn’t bother me that much but a mild irritation any time I see one and have to walk an extra couple of feet than I had planned to turn it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 On the telly chat, the missus will leave the telly on pause whilst she goes out the back for a (sometimes lit off the cooker) fag. This irritates me immensely even though Im not watching the telly. Alternatively, she will be looking through the TV guide and then decide to go for a fag, leaving the guide on the screen. Again, im not watching the telly but it fucking annoys the shit out of me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ylf Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 As above phone charger constantly plugged in. Tv left on at night. Puts shower on but doesn’t go in for about 5 mins. What you doing? Waiting on it heating up. It heats instantly get fukin in it. Buys loads of vegetables but hardly ever eats them. Most get binned but will buy another big bag to do exactly the same 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to plug the device onto it to complete the circuit. Apparently they do, but if you keep one switched on for a year it will use the same energy as driving a car for one second. It annoys the f**k out of me when you plug your phone in and come back 2 hours later to find out that some c**t had previously switched off the charger at the wall. P.S. The transformer in the charger draws 0.25 watts when it's not being used. Meh. Edited June 4, 2018 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current spouse leaves all the doors open because "it helps the heat circulate when the heating's on". When I incredulously explained to her that that's fucking stupid and closing the doors throughout the house when using the heating is a far quicker, smarter, more efficient and, frankly, the only way to do it, she countered that her dad taught her to do it that way. And she's right enough, he does as well. Leaves all the doors in his house open. Drives me fucking mad. Whenever we visit him I go round and shut the doors to the bedrooms, bathroom etc and he comes along behind me and opens them again without saying anything. Endlessly and silently we play out this passive agressive war of attrition with no clear victory for either side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
