coprolite Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I'm surprised at the number of anal retentive tidy freaks on here. In my house me and the kids make the mess and the wife goes on and on about it, at excessive length. I assumed everyone else's house wokld be the same. I read a couple of those posts and thought "calm the f**k down you nagging neurotic" much as i do when my wife starts with "do shoes stay there?" anyway... She does insist on using the smallest possible thing in the kitchen, "to save on washing up" . I have seen her use a 4" by 6" chopping board with an 8" knife to chop an aubergine that overlaps both ends of she board. She'll also pile oven chips 3 deep on the smallest tray and be amazed that some of them still aren't cooked after 30 mins. The smallest saucepan will get used for spaghetti, which will inevitably stick together. She does show admirable unwillingness to learn from experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Add me to the list of PnB men who clean up after their other half. What really irks me is when I have a day off is that I will tidy up a bit normally. Nothing crazy but I'll put the dishwasher on, wash some clothes and generally put things away etc. Wife has a day off and I'll come home from work to her dishes still in the living room and nothing else done. Worse yet she'll have been baking for people at her work and I'll come back to the kitchen looking like it was in Chernobyl. It's not that hard to simply put a dish you're finished with in the dishwasher or the sink! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rider Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 My wife won’t shut the kitchen door. We have underfloor heating in the kitchen to maximise the wall space for units. The kitchen isn’t very big and will heat up quickly in winter when you start cooking. On this basis we don’t put on the underfloor heating. The rest of the house is nice and warm in comparison and you can feel the draught when the kitchen door is open. Despite this we have been having the same conversation every winter for nine years now. Me “Gonnae shut the kitchen door?” Her ” sake, you always go on about that” Me ”remember it’s an unheated room my dearest darling” Her ” can we not just put the heating on in it then?” Me “or just shut the door???” She also likes to dangle things off just about anything that will allow it. Door handles, window handles, the kitchen unit handles you name it there will be clothes, bags, holiday mementoes etc dangling off them. I cant open a window without having to remove some trinket or other. Can we shut the kitchen door? Can we f**k cause of the shite dangling off the handle. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, maybe lapping the seam between the sole and the upper, plowing through ankle deep shit would become quite tiring, I suspect. 6 minutes ago, The Minertaur said: Add me to the list of PnB men who clean up after their other half.

My wife always leaves the kitchen like a bomb site, when I cook I get a bollocking if I don't wipe down the cooker, worktops, chopping board and put the pans etc into the sink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Covered this topic before but get flak from Mrs for making too much noise when emptying the dishwasher. Explain to her the sound she is hearing is the sound of someone working hard whilst she is lying in her pit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"whats wrong whats wrong oh my god she's bleeding oh no her lip it looks terrible do something oh god she's bleeding don't just stand there etc...." i usually find a door, and close it between us. The anti-hysteria slap is massively tempting though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, use half an hour when you get in from work to do that shit, leave your days off for lying in your bed furiously masterbating doing the things you enjoy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anti-hysteria slap is massively tempting though. Mrs E. literally sprinted to the door last night as she thought that our 19 month old was about to open it and fall down the stairs. I'm talking palms extended like fucking FloJo. Needless to say he wasn't. I was just coming to the bridge section of a reasonable anecdote as well. Never finished it. She can just fucking wonder what Dean in IT said, see if I care. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
