Annoying things that your wife does 22:16 - Jul 19 with 8854 views | Lord_Lucan | Many, I know. 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. |  |

Annoying things that your wife does on 15:36 - Jul 20 by giant_stow | Mine calls me from another bit of the house, but knows I can't hear what she's saying from the kitchen where I work. So I then have to get up and walk to her to find out what she wanted. Sounds small, but it actually drives me 'king nuts. [Post edited 20 Jul 2022 15:36]

Annoying things that your wife does on 16:29 - Jul 20 with 1228 views | brazil1982 | My Partner is a bit of a control, freak. The house is her's and she won't let me do any DIY, decorating etc. She also thinks she's good at it (she's not really). Starts jobs like painting, and leaves the second coat for two months. Paint pot and covers still out. Leaves scissors in the most dangerous places ie kitchen floor, seats. Doesn't listen: we're off to Italy with a Euro-rail pass at the weekend. I've done this before, and it's not valid on certain fast lines. I told her that during our "planning" talk. She's now moaning because she has paid a surcharge for certain trains without realising local trains are included in the euro rail pass. Which I mentioned at least five times. |  | |  |

Annoying things that your wife does on 10:41 - Jul 20 by StochesStotasBlewe | No chance. Vic would shrink the delicates/colour the whites/miss shape the t-shirts. I know from experience. I also am the proud owner of many single socks. |
Oh, that reminds me - she never hangs things on the line the right way! Socks, we’ll the ones she finds in the machine all hung up randomly and not in pairs. I mean, who hangs a blue sock next to a black one? Why can’t she just put all the same colours together like she should. And then shell hang some by the tops and some by the toes? She also mixes my briefs with her knickers on the line. I’m not fussy, but it just ain’t right. |  |

Lol good thread this. Dishwasher loading is something of an issue in our house. Why would you just load the dishwasher randomly without any thought to where the water jets are actually going to be directed?! A bit of care, and everything will come out clean first time, not just ‘the majority’ which seems to be enough for the Mrs….. |  | |  |

Are you insane??? Who hangs the toilet roll with the leaf facing the wall?? Next thing you'll be saying is that it's cream then jam on a scone! |  | |  |

Oh this is a definite class thing. And by that I don't mean breeding or even stratification or any of that. I mean simply having some class. One does not place the loo roll so it unravels up against the wall, it has to be away from the wall as you rightly say. There's so much to be done, so little time... |  |

Correct on both bog roll positioning and scone order of business. In civilised society, scone is pronounce ‘skon’ by the way, not ‘skoan’. Sorted. |  | |  |

Annoying things that your wife does on 09:51 - Jul 22 with 704 views | LegendofthePhoenix | A complete unawareness of the timing of various jobs. Prime example, she has an obsession with mopping the kitchen floor. But will do this when I have "jobs" (that she has assigned to me) that involve using the toolbox, located in the garage which is directly off the kitchen. So I get my toolbox to do the job, and tread muck in over the floor she has mopped. This happens about twice every week. Of course it's my fault. |  |

Timing - yes. Women can do many things that blokes can't - like cleaning toilets etc, they really seem to have the knack of that. But, timing. Absolutely useless, my daughter is the same. Continuous case in question - Every weekend we take the dogs out for a really big run but because Sir Bob is a motherfecker we have to hire a private field for an hour. Anyhoo - every single week I advise wife of the time and she just bat's it off, when she finally gets it together - on average about 8 minutes on the drag - she will say, "I've just got to have a pee" Wherever we go she always just needs to have a pee |  |

Annoying things that your wife does on 09:50 - Jul 20 by jontysnut | 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'. |
I think I'm your wife |  |

Annoying things that your wife does on 07:49 - Jul 20 by DanTheMan | Indecisiveness. Although I'm also indecisive so that ends up with some fun longwinded discussions when trying to make decisions, usually about something pointless like what takeaway to get. |
Me and the Mrs are the same. Throw in the fact that she also wants to be the one making decisions, but can't decide, means we end up getting nothing done, or never being ready for anything, having to last minute panic book holidays, etc. It's a nightmare. |  |

Does she really need to call out to you? I thought you twins were supposed to have some sort of telepathy? |  | |  |

one big advantage of the female inability to understand practical jobs is that they have no understanding of how long a job should take. So when assigned a job such as hanging a picture on a wall, or removing a U-bend to unblock it (usually a hairpin or toothpick that she flushed down the bathroom sink) I can do an intake of breath through the teeth and say "yeah that's quite a big job, probably take a couple of hours. I will do it while you go and and do the shopping etc". Thus facilitating 1 hr 50 mins to drink coffee and post rubbish on TWTD. |  |

I always get those things muddled up, and having toilet paper on a scone is definitely the least worse |  |
