I've always found that people who heat their plates in the house to put their sausage rolls and beans or suchlike are always, always totally normal.

Exactly, beans should be ate like this

The situation IMO is actually worse in our house.  What you see in that photo is "just" an example of appalling spacing and filling. I also face a Mrs Salt n' Vinegar who insists on using the largest available chopping board so that the dishwasher is much fuller than it need be.  The worst recent example was when my good lady used a 14x10 inch (plus handle grip) plastic chopping board to crush and cut up a clove of garlic. A fkkn clove of garlic. We had 4 much smaller ones available. Also, unless I'm there to prevent it, the largest saucepan will invariably be used. And while I'm in rant mode, another thing - what's the point of making hot food then serving it on cold plates? Eh? Eh?

In posting this, 2 things come to mind...

1) "First World Problems" or "FFS mate, haven't you got anything else to worry about" Thread for this p!sh, and

2) yesterday's embarrassment at Kilmarnock annoyed me more than I thought!

Whilst on about saucepan sizes, my other half will use a small saucepan on the largest gas ring with the gas up full. Most of the flame will be nowhere near the pan and doing no heating. No concept of the correct size gas ring for the saucepan being used.

I often wondered about the size of your wife's ring.

Fuxake! This is like our machine after shes stacked it.

The mugs and glasses need to go on the top rack at each side, freeing up tons of space. Those plates on the bottom rack are criminal. 

Absolutely. The Ex insisted on a three level dishwasher because it “had more room”. No, if properly loaded it might allow a few additional items on the nearly useless top “third” level, but the way she crammed stuff in…not a blooming hope. She’d start chirping if I opened it and started rearranging it, but had to shut-up when I was able to get the rest of the stuff put in there that she couldn’t because of utterly useless packing skills.

Advise to young lads, watch how she fills a dishwasher…if she’s shite, you were warned…if she won’t, run?

Not sure if it was on here or not but apparently that site is very dodgy. Card details being sold on or something.

But she's shopping like a billionaire! She likes it; it's hers! The prices blow her mind! She feels so rich!

So weird to see a platform advertised as a mood stabilizer rather than for the products it carries.

Data mining is the only way that their business can be profitable. 17p cleaning kit whilst your card details and name and address are sold on for mega bucks. 

That said if your a PSNI polis and a registered voter the name and address are already out there so wire in.

Long winded voice messages on WhatsApp. They're getting longer and more frequent and when she's sent one when she's out and about, often sound like she's recorded it standing in the middle of the track at Silverstone.

Probably a total coincidence, but the only time I've had my card details nicked was about a week after opening an Alibaba account and making my first (and only) purchase with that card.

Massive amounts of takeaway, Netflix gift cards, and a £600 Secret Escapes holiday. The rock 'n' roll lifestyle of the card scammer.

So Temu has a scam in the UK too? In the U.S. the prices are so low because they operate under a hazy portion of the customs laws that let them skip duties on all the items, what’s the UK scam? Also, the basic low prices seem to be due to forced labor of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

My wife started to send me voice messages a while back, she was told they won’t be getting listened to. Took her a while to get the message but they have stopped.

Dont get the point in them at all.

I think some people just love the sound of there own voice so much the thought of communication without being able to hear it they can’t comprehend.

tbf I prefer receiving voice notes to texts if I'm in the house. I also don't enjoy texting, Saying that, I often take about three takes to record a voice note as I end up rambling too much. I dare say the beloveds of the complainants here don't exercise such restraint and self awareness.

And that’s exactly the problem, voice note users love a ramble.  A text that should say can you pick up some milk ends in a 3 minute story.  No message or text should be more than 2 sentences long and frankly entering the 2nd sentence should raise alarm bells.   By the time you’ve read that you’ve barely got to the play button on a voice note.  If it’s too long to say quickly make a fucking call

Is Temu the latest Wish/Shein clone?

Mrs Khaki went through a phase of ordering no end of shite from Wish. Not once did any of the products she received remotely resemble what was advertised, but she seemed happy enough with most of it and it was her money she was spending, so pffft.

I suppose somebody has to prop up the entire PRC economy single-handedly.

It's thanks to WIsh that I found out that memory foam 'sex wedges' are an actual thing. And no, not because Mrs Khaki bought one.

Yes, Temu and Shein are near identical competitors in the “fast fashion work”. How it can be called fast fashion as most orders seem to travel via donkey to the classic slow boat from China…

Anyone else’s partner had the heating on in the middle of summer?!

Also managed to smash the hob last night somehow.
