JamesP_81 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Always ridiculously overfills the washing machine, seemingly with little or no thought as to where the clothes will actually go to dry when they come out. Especially when you have to adhere to her rules of no clothes can touch each other when hanging up or else "they'll never dry" and nothing put on radiators as that "looks too tinky". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 My wife has been stealing my phone charger for months as hers is "missing". Yesterday she actually managed to break it and her attempts to super glue it back together....didn't work. I told her to go out and buy 2 new ones but she miraculously produced some spare ones from "somewhere" in the house. Why she had to keep stealing mine while these spare ones existed is a mystery. Why do they steal stuff? Why aren't their own clothes/deodorant/shower gel/phone chargers/laptops good enough for them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I try and put the clothes horse outside in summer on the decking to dry the clothes quicker she goes mental. Apparently birds will shite all over our washing and will need redone. Doesn't seem to affect all the neighbours around us who have clothes out on the washing line but those birds do have it in for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be some size of birds you get in Falkirk if an entire clothes horse worth of stuff ends up having to go back in the wash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was looking on Wikipedia I found this: 38 years old seems a pretty old age to be born at. RIP Michelle McManus' mum's fanny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need more details before burning the witch Is there anything above the decking where birds habitually perch themselves on ? Washing lines are usually out in the open , so not as likely to be in danger from a hail-fire of bird shit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some old boy that often does drilling for them who has always apparently been paid cash in hand by his boss. He has never had a bank account and never paid any tax. The only reason she knows this is because they had some job that was on airport or MOD ground or something and they needed to get clearance for anyone working on it. When she tried to get this contractor to do it, this old guy couldn't be involved as he had no means at all to prove who he was. No NI number, no driver license, nothing. He's totally off the system. Which probably explains why he's still drilling holes in fields in his 70s, as I can't see a pension waiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I hope to still be drilling holes when I'm in my 70s. The holes of 21 year olds, amirite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything goes in the recycling. Used kitchen roll, used dental floss, balled up bits of cellotape.This is on the premise that they could save that polystyrene and reuse it in another box.I just fire everything straight into the normal trash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. She just believes that if we put the clothes outside a bird will shit on them. If she's away for a few days in the summer I tend to ignore her bollocks and stick the laundry outside. I prefer my clothes dried by the wind and sun rather than a radiator 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remembered a guy on Dragon's Den a few years back pitching a whirly gig protector, so I took the liberty of looking it up for you. https://www.theclotheslinestore.com.au/clothesline-cover-rotary-clothesline/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
