Get out and walk for sixty seconds, ya lazy bassa  

Try being in a car with someone who'll drive round and round a busy car park for ten minutes in the hope that a space close to the door appears, while there's half a dozen at the edge.

Don't get me wrong. I don't want to be at the door. Even then tonight I was meeting her in there, then helped her with stuff to the motor afore going the other way again. But I can't understand why she picks the furthest away spot regardless.

Have you expressed irritation at her doing this in the past?

Might have your answer right there

Stops the car door being banged by other idiotic, inconsiderate drivers. I do this quite a lot.

Doesn't work, you could be a mile away, and a moron will still park beside you.

The general rule seems to be 'park in the first available space and walk' is more efficient than cruising for a closer space.

I parked at my work when there was no one in, a big car park about a 60/70 spaces and this woman parked right beside me, had to squeeze out the drivers door, came close to a head explosion, that day, for sure. WTF is it with women trying to park a car, Mrs will drive around car parks for about 20mins looking for a spot.

Rant over.

Thank you.

I do this everytime. All crap drivers park as close to the front door of the supermarket as they can, including parking in parent and child spaces with no child in the car/bus.

100% correct. Also, looking for parking on the side can work.

I do that simply because I'm able to walk there and back. Others might struggle but not be bad enough to have a blue badge. I'd rather they had a space closer to the shop.

well, turns out I'm the cúnt.

I tend to do most of our food shopping so OH will generally just let me know if there's anything particular required. I don't eat meat, OH does but I'll buy it and cook it no probs.

Occasionally I'll be asked to get a packet of fresh chicken breasts, pork loins or similar which inevitably get flung in the freezer after spending days in the fridge. 

We're then forced into some serious batch cooking when the pack finally gets defrosted again, or I get moaned at because there's nothing to have for tea.

Why do they not split the pack up? Flinging full packs of stuff like that into the freezer (unless it's to feed a family) is madness!

Insists on watching the last 2 episodes of a series, meaning we didn't go to bed until about midnight, insisting she'd get up with the kids.

Kids came in 20 minutes ago; "I'll be down in a minute" said she.

Naturally she's now snoring away again while I prepare to drag myself downstairs to sort breakfast. Good job I love her really.

Well yes that's kind of my point.

I wasn't sure if there was an additional point about being asked to pick up food that they then seemingly forget about / can't be arsed cooking

My main irritatance is that it makes no sense to fire a pack of 4 chicken breasts in the freezer when only one person in our household actually eats them.

Normally I'll cook up a vegetable curry or something with fresh veg each week. If there's chicken or beef or something in the fridge then I'll cook that so that there's a veggie dish and a meat dish.

Difficult to do when the meat is all in a big frozen block at the bottom of a freezer drawer and the culprit then has a moan about tea being a veggie affair 9 times out of 10. Tbf the moaning is a bit tongue in cheek but considering I bought some reusable freezer bags for this very purpose the habit of firing big packs of meat in the freezer infuriates me.

That’s more of a moan at the seller, IMHO. I found that Walmart here sells a five pack of individually wrapped chicken breasts, and think it’s genius. The price per piece is pretty close to buying a two or four pack, but the ease of being able to put a couple in the fridge and freeze the rest is sweet, and reaching into the freezer and whipping out one or two wrapped individual breast is an indescribable feeling of victory. I usually don’t mind buying the big pack of meat and dividing/wrapping/freezing it, but chicken is messy as all hell.

Just eat meat, problem solved.
