Widge Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Tbf you don't need to hear football. True, it was an example. But football without sound is pish to watch. Plus if it’s not on the phone, it’s playing videos with the sound on via Instagram when we’re watching something together! Heaven forbid I ever put a video on whilst she’s on the phone though [emoji23] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I'd be picking someone up and ejecting them from the room if they received a phonecall and didn't leave while interrupting what I was doing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid I ever put a video on whilst she’s on the phone though [emoji23]My other half does it...she's lucky I've not launched her phone into the burn behind our house. She's also obsessed with Instagram literally the first thing she does when her alarm goes off in the morning. Absolutely boils my piss that one, especially when she gives out to me for watching sport! Actually, on sport...she hates football, and any time I'm in the living room watching a game on the big telly she will grab the remote and turn it over to some pish American series she's binge watching (we've had gilmour girls, dawson's creek, greys anatomy..). We have a spare room a decent telly she could go watch it in! Thank christ she's still at work while I work from home or there would be scraps. Lockdown is going well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Back at work and knocking my pan in, she is currently on furlough, come home tonight she has done fuckall housework despite saying she would get everything done today. Hasn't stopped her sitting outside talking to the neighbours all afternoon however... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Unusually I went to bed first last night. She stayed up to watch a film. There's 3 cups and 2 plates been used in the two hours she stayed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s normal, when I stagger to bed first, I can hear her sigh of relief, the music goes up and the gin, cheese and biscuits get brought out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the perfect time to begin a rambling story.' I'm getting more impatient as I get older. Anyone who does this gets one, "I need to put this down/take a shite", then I walk away if they don't STFU. Haven't noticed any repercussions yet. Fingers crossed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing at the door with my coat on, the dog's lead in my hand and the dug bouncing up and down with excitement and that's when she decides to recount some tedious and apparently endless anecdote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as you'd say it was time to go, she'd launch into another long story, like Ronnie Corbett's stories only not so funny. Used to think it was quite endearing but, bloody hell, it's genetic. Now Mrs SL does a fine impression of her maw. Always when I'm in the middle of something or just wanting peace to read. And as if by magic, there she is, "put the kettle on".

philpy Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 She has a bad bout of toothache, and I do have some sympathy for her, but she has done fuckall around the house while I've been grafting away at work all day, and the toothache has been used as the excuse. Had a very long silence earlier when I said that toothache doesn't affect her arms... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex used to take pasta out of a perfectly acceptable storage unit (the packet it comes in) and put it into a plastic tupperware type tub. She'd then buy new pasta and top it up. It wasn't even the same pasta she'd put on top of the other. I pointed out numerous times we'd just end up with foosty pasta never getting used at the bottom and it was all just a pointless exercise but apparently it took up less space. The tupperware thing was like double the size of the bags of pasta. Cow. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will just be more rooms for her to fill with shite! You will still be living in the same few rooms, but with a couple more rooms for "storage". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
