Dirty pigs, some people are prepared to see the waste spill onto the floor rather than take out the rubbish.My housemates as they never seem to empty the bins in the kitchen. I emptied them yesterday and they're full again now. I know they will just either squeeze their rubbish into the bin or wait until it has been emptied. It's always me that takes out the rubbish.
I know I should say something but what? They're adults and I thought they'd know by now. I don't want to baby them or have a chart but I feel like they don't have enough sense to empty it when it is full otherwise.
Ungrateful beggar, whenever I stay at someone else's house I am always grateful for whatever I get, as I know they don't have to do that for me.This probably fits in the, 'What are you particular about' thread also, but ...
We are hosting a relative who is recovering from surgery. She has stairs at her home (we don't) and needs to have someone with her much of the day (I work from home), so we're it.
From the minute she arrived (yesterday) she moaned about everything. We bought a secondhand King-sized single bed from a marketplace site that the seller said had been slept in twice at their bach; she asked if it was new and we told a white lie that it was (she expects everything brand new but would never offer to contribute); but she said she can smell someone else on it (ridiculous; it definitely does not smell; it looks brand new)! This is despite the fact it has brand new linen on it that we bought especially for her, including a puffed mattress topper, which cost a fortune. Aaaargh! If that wasn't enough, we've put her in my regular home office which is a tiny room but the nicest room in the house ... and she is moaning constantly about it ... it's apparently too bright and sunny during the day (despite having blockout blinds), and she heard cicadas outside the window all last night so couldn't sleep well. She also doesn't like the headboard (black), drawers (black, even though I replaced all the chrome handles with cute little faceted glass yellow knobs) and wardrobe (which is normally an open cavity, so I bought some sheer white curtains to conceal it ... it looks quite nice, I thought). And the pictures on the wall (black frames, with black and white still photos of landscapes I've taken over the years) apparently scare her (hopefully into leaving sooner than anticipated). Even the TV we bought especially for her stay isn't appreciated as it doesn't have Sky (it has access to enough channels to keep her happy, surely!).
As if all this isn't enough, I returned home a short time ago from visiting a friend (I normally love to stay at home and rarely venture out but I feel like my home is full of toxic energy at the moment and had to escape), to discover she's taken it upon herself to rearrange my kitchen cupboards! Aaaaargh!!!! (For the record, I'm very particular about how things are stored and I don't like people touching my things). I barked at my husband about letting her take over and he annoyingly said if it makes her happy, let her do it! No treats for him this week. She's also been telling everyone that she's going to be helping me with my freelancing work as I'm overwhelmed with how much I have on (NOT true!).
I did ask her to bring some things to keep her occupied throughout the day as I'll be busy, but of course she didn't. It is infuriating having someone ask every 2 minutes, "What can I do to help?"
Just 12 more days to go of this, and then she goes back to her house ... I'm going to have to buy a truckload of Palo Santo to clear the energy once she's gone.
He seems to do this often- do you have an assigned day he can get up with the baby so you can have a lay in?My boyfriend knew I went to bed early with a banging headache last night. The baby woke us up af 5.20 ready for the day, we all were awake and I said I didn't feel well still. My boyfriend just got up and went the toilet then went back to bed. Not even an offer to get up with the baby. Prick
Nope I get up every morning with himHe seems to do this often- do you have an assigned day he can get up with the baby so you can have a lay in?
Time along with very young kids/babies is the best bonding time.Nope I get up every morning with him
Also the tab things off a tin of Spam work too. I keep those coins in my bag, car and purse just because I always forget and never have change!I did this once and the nice man at the entrance got a magical key out and unlocked a trolley for me!
Yeah exactly, I don't want to be passive aggressive and I think having a chart will make them think that. I asked today if we can all take it in turns as we have a cleaning rota so we can work it into that. They'll probably ignore it though!Dirty pigs, some people are prepared to see the waste spill onto the floor rather than take out the rubbish.
Unfortunately making a chart will only cause resentment.

Yes! And not just any old bus - a bus outside of Selfridges. Wtf?! Has she forgotten she is the one who wanted to get a divorce? She decided after doing strictly being at home looking after her children wasnt for her and jamie was holding her back from her career.. well that comeback didnt work out well did it, Louise?!I really hate it when Celebs break out the sympathy card, it really boils my piss!
Louise Redknapp says she almost stepped out in front of a bus
The former pop star has revealed that her distress at walking away from her marriage to the former England footballer was so great that she thought she would be better off dead.www.dailymail.co.uk
Back in the day it was rare for the Redknapps to be in the papers, they kept a low profile, I really admired that.
Since the marriage went tits up and turning up on SCD, lost all respect for Louise.
I still believe Daisy Lowe had something to do with how Louise changed during SCD.Yes! And not just any old bus - a bus outside of Selfridges. Wtf?!

my bf ended up moving out recently (having moved in just before first lockdown) because we just kept bickering over random stuff like doing the dishes, he is still working but I am not, but obviously neither of us have any other life outside/socialising etc. I think it is really an effect of lockdown and just general frustration. like usually if you argue you could just go and sit in a cafe/go to a friend but obviously now you can't reallyMy boyfriend has pissed me off we’re always snapping at each other these days. We don’t enjoy each other’s company and we’re stuck here together 24/7. Just his presence is too annoying to me sometimes I have to take myself to another room rather than listen to him breathing.
