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. Forgive me if I've got some of the details wrong but do you not build/renovate houses for a fucking living? I'd fit all the doors with locks and never let her near the key. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Buys us a key bowl to put on the coffee table because I "leave them all over" the gaff. It's actually pretty handy, as I now know where my keys always are. She continues to leave hers in various places around the house, though, and gets into a hissy fit when she can't find her own keys. The latter is my life, mainly as she's leaving the house late for something. "Oh my god I can't find my keys, where are my keys??""Have you checked your coat""Ah they were there"Every. Single. Time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife bought a device for her key ring, that when you whistled it bleeped. Still drove me round the bend, walking round the house whistling, then standing in silence listening for faint bleeps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The annoying thing is she remembers and lets me back in rather than leaving me to a slow painful lingering freezing death which is the preferable option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask to be let in then. It seems so simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, however, I shan't be doing that. I have two kids for a start, and the authorities take a dim view of locking your kids up. Look what happened to that poor DIY enthusiast from Austria. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still angry after reading that post and it was four hours ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
