Annoying things that your wife does 22:16 - Jul 19 with 8852 viewsLord_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.

It's called recycling. Take them to a collection point in the local supermarket. They shouldn't go in the black bin anyway.

You just need to learn the difference between the recycling pile and where the new ones are.

My Mrs tidies everything into random places.
There really is no logic behind it.

She sounds frugal, can she spend a bit of time with my wife? The disconnect between her bank balance and her attitude to spending money is absolutely remarkable at times, I’ve never seen anything like it. She doesn’t look at prices before she picks stuff up. Watching her shop is what I imagine Victoria Beckham looks like in a jewellers.

Excuse me but I never suggested we just throw batteries in the bin.

I'll have you know, most of the Lucans are very environmentally friendly and we always deposit things in the correct bin before it's all taken off to Turkey to be burnt.

I had this exact same thing today, rifled through 6 batteries to get a remote to work.
When done they are usually left on the side ready to take down the shop, give to the bin men. My missus decides it’s a good idea to mix them with new ones, ffs!!!

Exactly! It's not just me then.

A couple of weeks ago I had a mechanic due to come to my workplace to do a day's work on a van. Now then, I knew he would be early and I have living accommodation at work and I was staying over - so I told him to ring the bell because I'm not an early riser.

Because I am a very prepared individual I swapped the batteries in my bell bleeper thing with some "new" batteries from home because I knew the old ones had been in there for a while and I didn't want to take a chance - it has taken me 6 months for this bloody mechanic to agree on a date.

You know the rest..........

Haha, sorry for your pain. My little boy just got impatient as he couldn’t play FIFA, my pain is significantly less than yours.

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.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

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.

Never ever puts anything away, just little piles of stuff in every room of the house.

She can't throw anything away either.

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.

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.

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!
