However, one thing I cannot get my head round is when the Mrs saves half burnt out batteries - or in fact saves batteries that she is unsure if they are burnt out or new.
This obviously only spells disaster and when you try and find a triple A you realise that its fecked. You can go through a box of them but to no avail.
My rule is that unless it is still in some kind of cardboard sleeve then it gets thrown.
Mother is worse, she has an A2 jiffy bag full of batteries that are completely useless.

Never puts things away in the cupboard properly, then can't find said item, so we end up with two or three jars of peanut butter for example, all open. 😣

She never, ever, ever puts or screws the lid on anything from fabric conditioner to a tub of Lurpak after she’s used it. NEVER. And she snores like a herd of constipated wildebeest.
Is she left-handed?
Mrs Oozami is the same, but that's because she's left-handed, and closing up screw tops the wrong way (for her anyway) is a big effort apparently....

My Mrs tidies everything into random places. There really is no logic behind it.
This.
You'll leave something on the table and the next thing you know it'll be gone and shoved into a random drawer. Apparently 'tidying up' actually means 'hiding things in the nearest available drawer'.
Check with her parents, I'll bet her idea of tidying her room when she was a kid involved shoving everything under the bed.

Better off spending 3 or 4 quid on one of these rather than getting stressed Got a few gadgets that use 4 batteries, and amazing how often 1 or 2 die before the others.
Powered by battery I presume?

Yep, with you on this one. Makes a decision, then changes it, then changes back and so on. How on earth am I meant to guess what he final answer will be - but apparently I should!
But I still love her like crazy after 33 yrs.

My partner buys a lot of clothes, but she insists on cutting of the little plastic and cardboard tag and leaving these on the worktop, along with the scissors she's used. Every time. The bin is a couple of feet away, but these things never make it in. See also the peel off foil lid on the milk.
This, this and this.
See also when she opens a new 4 pint of milk, and leaves the little tab thing on the worktop. Same applies to orange juice cartons when you have to pull the small tab off as well.
Or when she makes toast, uses the knife in the butter and rather than putting the knife - with excessive butter still on it - in the sink, she lays it on the worktop so the butter is then spread all over the worktop as well.
Women, can't live with them, can't live without them!
Talk. Literally can't have silence. To the point where she will make a statement. I will reply. She will make the the same statement but worded differently. My replies get shorter and shorter until it ends we me saying "Yeah. You said."
And can't have her own opinion. On anything.

Gave me Covid
Ok, but harsh, that wasn’t her fault. Three things annoy.
Firstly, if there is a programme she wants to watch like that pitiable rubbish Call The f’ing Midwife, silence has to reign. Anything I’m watching, she’ll talk right through it.
Secondly, hearing all about her day. When we were both working particularly I’d here all about it replayed in full glorious technicolour. I know teaching is tough but why relive it? Personally once my work day was done, the last thing I wanted to do was go through it again with anyone, least of all me.
Lastly, she’s into crafts and stuff. All good, but my space in this house is getting diminished to the acreage of Harry Potter’s cupboard. She has single handed kept the Chinese economy afloat. A swear the Ark of the Covenant is lost somewhere in her craft room.

I think it must be a thing with teachers, I've got some in my family and I've never heard a profession talk about work so much as teachers. I bet when she's with her teacher friends and you have the misfortune of being present the conversation gets on to education after about 3 seconds?
If it's any consolation my wife is a nurse and it's similar when she's out with fellow medical people. I put it down to the professions attracting passionate people, something of a vocation rather than just a boring job like mine. They're certianly not there for the money!
Starts a job, then halfway through starts something else and leaves that for something else. So we might get halfway through painting a room, when she starts turning out the loft and then when everything is on the landing start making buns. I did raise this once and possibly quite rightly she replied 'at least I start jobs'.

1) Insists on using a bar of soap in the shower - despite also using shower gel - then leaves the soap on the floor of the shower for me to slip on........hmm........... 2) Shoves too much stuff in the cupboard so when you open it next time you get hit on the head by a jar of marmalade 3) Leaves the washing on the line until after it has rained (not such an issue lately)

They all seem to talk a bit don't they, mine will go on about something and I will add something to the argument and she will say "Do you mind, I'm talking, you always butt in"
FFS - I'm only adding to the discussion, it's as if I have to wait 10 mins and then get advised when I can talk.
Worst thing at the moment though - we have daughter and family (4 of them) living with us at the moment whilst they rebuild a house. Now then, I know they are busy people but they are messy bastards and leave sh1t everywhere. Problem is - I seem to be the one that takes the flak, I seem to be some kind of device to bounce her frustrations at.

“A device to bounce her frustrations at”.
Nailed it.
I also find that if I come up with a good idea or suggestion, it becomes her idea when we are in polite company.
We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub.

Cannot make a decision to save her life. I will ask where she wants to go and I will get back 'where do you want to go?'
Will do the ironing in the kitchen when I am trying to tidy up or cook.
Oh and joining the battery conversation, my old mum will put her used hearing aid batteries back in the little packs, so when I check to see how many there are left all the packs are full of dead ones. It's easier to put them in the bin I have put beside her chair.

Another thing, when she's telling a story or anecdote to people, she goes into the most ridiculous level of unnecessary detail. Like it really isn't relevant what the stranger was called or what colour shoes she was wearing! Cut to the chase ffs. She's learnt to be more direct with me or I glaze over.

My ex wife used to sleep with other men which used to annoy me
Yeah sorry about that.
To the point GF not wife who despite knowing my complete affliction to the evil that is mayonnaise, seems to return with a sandwich slathered in the stuff should I ever ask her to pick one up. I reminder her each time, today she was very please having got me a 'posh' one, if there is one thing I know about posh sarnies it's that they usually come drowned in a poshed up mayo. You could see it dripping off the side, when I opened it to try and scape of this devil's jism she then asks why I'm scraping of the butter.

I tried waiting until i was asked for input once. I got accused of ignoring her
