It's true though. If you're used to having the place to yourself for most of the day, having a cranky, retired husband getting underfoot suddenly, disrupting the usual flow of your day, would be so fucking enraging.
My poor mother had this when Dad retired. He 'helpfully' would accompany her when she was doing the weekly shop. He would question every single thing she bought with 'why do we need that? We never use that'. She had been doing this shop unhindered for about 40 years and found it infuriating.

Since the start of March last year he has been having blaring loud meetings in the home study all day long. I'm getting a nervous eye twitch listening to him.
This. Completely. Why are they so loud? It is zoom not a can on a bit of string?

Currently sharing an office with Mr V and he is so loud on the phone. Also oblivious to my resentful looks and under breath huffs. Can’t wait til he goes back to work and leaves me to my office.

HELLO! HOW ARE YOU! WHAT TIME IS THERE?? (THEN 5 MINUTE CONVERSATION ON LOCKDOWN RULES IN RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES) BLAH BLAH FINANCIAL FORECAST, BLAH BLAH WE CAN EXPECT.

I literally hear this 10 x a day. At full volume.

Also: To me. What's for lunch/dinner?

No, Italy!

I want to echo the fake tan drops for the face for those feeling a bit crap, they do give a really nice boost. Also, this month I more or less stopped drinking and did the Perricone skin "diet" (hate that word, it's not a diet just healthy eating). Both worked a treat I'm sorry to say but you have to have a large tolerance for salmon (you eat loads of it).

Exactly.
This point of pride she has for feigning ignorance over big name pop culture celebs is so irritating. She loves to mention the low brow stuff that she thinks make her seem charming and unaffected and yes of course, pleasingly nana-ish (Take A Break magazine), but shudders at the idea that someone might mistake her for the type of commoner who might be up to date with the latest goings on in the Kardashian empire. Well I don't believe you, Ms Hughes.

It was the same for my mum with a Dad in the army. He was away for much of the year and she ran the house just fine, but when he came back he expected to call the shots and started nitpicking at everything. I'd go mad.

Back on topic (sorry), that's a very good point, @MissHavisham .
