Shirley better that she checks before you set off rather than having to ask you to turn around and head back when you've been driving for a few minutes? I'm with her on this one. And she has to put up with mushroom suppers, she must be a saint. If you're sitting in the car you are past the point of checking to make sure you've got everything - that step is carried out in the house/shop/pub that you are leaving from. I'm with Mozza. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 we won't be having any parties with nibbles over the hols. This won't stop the wife filling the freezer with overpriced little snacks. Yet again, come February, the kids will be rightfully complaining about having stuffed potato skins with mozarella sticks for tea instead of actual food. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets in the car yesterday, she's locking the front door. I put on my seatbelt, bairn puts on seatbelt in back. Missus gets in and we sit waiting for her to put seatbelt on before pulling away. Missus, empties handbag full of womenshit onto lap and starts rearranging it. Me "can you put your seatbelt on and we'll get moving" Her "Aye once Ive sorted this lot" f**k this, starts to move off. Her "WAIT WAIT WAIT AHVE NO GOT MA SEATBELT ON" Me "can you not just get in the car and put your seatbelt on first so we can get going. You can sort that stuff on the move" Her "...." Utterly seething. Don't try and reason with her, it wastes oxygen. Tell her all the celebtities put their seatbelts on straight away. job done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dug Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Pops out to the car for something leaving the front door of the house wide open. Invariably she'll get involved with a conversation with the neighbour about something or other as they are both nosey, gossipy cows, meaning all the heat is lost in the house. First thing she'll do when she comes back in is complain about it being cold and turn the thermostat up. Drives me mental - not enough to get up and shut the door myself, obvs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A96 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Taking ages to leave her parents' house when we visit. Usually involves her saying to me and son "Right , c'mon 'en , we'd better get goin" as if it's because of us that we're still there. So we both duly get our jackets on , say our goodbyes and go out to the car. And then wait for her to come out. And wait a bit more. Typically , it'll be at least 5 minutes after we've gone out , that she'll eventually appear. Sometimes a good bit longer. By which time there's steam comin' oot ma lugs. Usually,it transpires that some topic that was so important that it hadn't even been mentioned in the previous 5 or 6 hours, becomes an essential subject for discussion in those final minutes of the visit.

Every single one the other night from the kitchen right up to the spare room. Wasnt even dark outside (probably due to the megalux coming from our house). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Asks if she can wear my jumper to work (a good one at that) and I say alright, just don’t roll up the sleeves. (As they go baggy)“Can’t promise anything”“Don’t roll up the sleeves”“Can’t promise anything”“I’m asking you not to roll up the sleeves”“Fine! I’ll wear something else”She’s now in a huff at work, not talking to me. How dare I ask her not to do something with an item of MY clothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Leave posted Christmas cards at the bottom of the door ("so I see them") and then get all upset when I stamp them with a big dirty footprint having had the audacity to walk through my front door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why isn’t she wearing her own jumper if she wants to wear a jumper?Because my taste in jumpers is vastly superior.

Sitting about the house in your jumper, fair enough but unless your girl is a lorry driver I reckon she should be wearing her own clothes to work. She didn’t wear your grey suit and black tie to a funeral recently, did she? Short hair, sunglasses, does a bit singing? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
