When my OH stops using something he just puts it down, which I find very frustrating especially if the items home is within reach.
Another frustration is when he put the lid back on the top of a jar but makes no effort to tighten it.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

Mine also has a spare room of his own which is surprisingly tidy…mainly because he comes into my office with post, junk Mail, whatever and just dumps it all on my craft desk 😡 A couple of times I have popped it all back on his desk…petty, but satisfying 😁
When I lived alone my house was always lovely and tidy, even with all the pets, but here not so much. Mainly because once I realised I was doing it all and spending so much time on it… I decided not to! I still tend to do it all, but less often and only when I feel like it.I hate the tight handbrake thing! It stretches the cable and I gnash my teeth if I allow MrWW to borrow mine and he’s done that. He also leaves random rubbish in my side pocket…I nearly exploded yesterday because there were disposal gloves stuffed there from when he took my car for it’s tyres. I know he did me a favour, but 😡 My car is the one space I can control and keep tidy without someone interfering 🤣Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

moving_forward said:Oh beanie I do miss my own space sometimesI did see something funny yesterday, when I was driving past mr T’s at about 10.30am yesterday a man was waiting to cross the road…with an open can of lager he was sipping from clasped in one hand and a huge bunch of flowers in the other. I said to dog there ‘there’s a story there’ 🤣 The good thing about dog is I have someone to talk to (without looking too bonkers) and she always agrees with me 😬Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
