Oh lordy...

I hate it when DF makes a big deal out of something minor - For example: "The toilet roll needs changing/New hand towel needed in bathroom" tiny tiny stuff that's so easily done... But he chooses to tell me about and let me deal with it...

I mean really? It's not that hard - In the time it's taken you to track me down and tell me, you could've resolved the 'problem' ten times over. But of course he doesn't see it like that
My wee girl is the love and light of my life!

I am actually really bad at leaving gone off and empty stuff in the fridge/cupboards and DH gets annoyed about it. My pet peeve is dirty knifes/spoons etc left on the clean worktop, put them in the dishwasher is not hard........ but then neither is throwing stuff out

Leaving wet towels on the bed.

Nailclippings left whereever and expect me to pick it up.

That is the top two that came to mind right now.

Was thinking about this yesterday when in a cafe waiting to order and the 2 girls behind the counter kept talking until they had finished their conversation!! How hard is it to stop talking, take an order politely, then carry on!! Arghhhh this really annoys me. Bad service in general really bugs me!

i hate when he pops up the shower thingey where hair is trapped under BUT leaves it there so when i go to shower next I have to take it right out and clean it before I shower...I mean how hard would it be for him to do it if he has gone to the effort of half lifting it out....OK so I know it is NOT his hair (baldy) but still......

i hate when people treat me like an idiot at work.

an elderly couple, with two orders - don't put a barrier thing betwen it, but chose to bark "NO NO NOT THAT" at me and when i ask if it is two orders he says "NO" as if I'm dumb. i look confused with what the hell is going on and he explains, as if to a child "i will pay for this se-pa-rate-ly".

When DH makes a cup of coffee and leaves the teaspoon on the clean benchtop. How much harder would it be to put it another 10cm away in the actual sink. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Where do I start......

-Dirty Towels on bed, or (and this is a fav of my DH) hanging over the door into our room.
-Piling the washing on the floor of laundry, right BESIDE the washing basket - how hard is it to open the lid of the basket and put them in there.
-My mother when she comes to stay spends all her time cleaning/doing washing, making me feel useless, its not like I am a pig in the cleaning department, just not as pedantic (sp?) as she is.

My current one is when DH throws things (like a spoon he's just finished using) into the kitchen sink while I'm doing the dishes.  What a nob.

not putting dirty laundry in the hamper is a big one for me - also leaving shoes all over the house.

my biggest pet peeve (especially at the moment as Caitlin has been unsell for over a week now)

DH: "but I work longer hours than you" (he does 8am - 6pm - his own company tho), then spends the evening in front of the tv)

I work 8am-4pm, but my Mummy job starts at 6.30am when she wakes up and finishes at 7pm when she goes to bed, then I randomly clock in and out during the night when she wakes up *stamps foot and growls at DH*

Starting a new bottle milk, before the last one is finished.
Leaving his shoes lying around which I usually end up tripping over.

Unfortunately the biggest creator of mess in our house is the cat and her fur!! She's lucky she's so cute she gets away with it.

I hate clever people who act or behave dumb too, and I hate being treated like a kids at work, by the team leader who is at least 10yrs younger than me.

Oh, lordy,where to start.

Use of handicapped spaces and stroller/baby parks when you have neither handicap or child

Seeing pregnant ladies smoking

Seeing people smoking wiht kids in the car, especially with windows firmly shut

Greenpeace/wspa etc aggressively stopping people on the street to sign up for donations, random "change I have on me dontaions" will not do.

Same Goes for the lady at New World last week from childfund who asked if I would like to help a child and I said I needed some help with my own - in a jokey way, as my two were screaming, so she muttered something under her breath at me

Crimes against fashion, as set out below.

When people wear pants that are too bloody long for them and they get all worn and gross looking. It's actually not that hard to hem a pair of pants, or if you are desperate, sellotape the damn things or take them to the drycleaners, who for $10 take them up and they will remain nice looking!!!

Trackies or any kind of gym clothing not being worn for the purpose of exersizing. ESP when worn with polar fleece and or those bloody awful croc things (although my jake has some, crocs, that is)
Not a fan of the slob look.

Muffin tops and camel toes. 'nuff said.

Various crimes against speech and grammar, written and spoken

Raising your voice at the end of a statement so it sounds like a question will land you a punch on the nose (or a disgusted look, anyways..)

Incorrect use of punctuation, ESPECIALLY apostrophies.
BAD SPELLING. I don't mind typos, but I can't bear to look at things that are spelt wrong, it makes me feel physically sick.

Rodney fanatically tidying away things that I am not finished with right behind me. Yes, I know it might have been on the bench for 2 days, but I am not finished with it yet.

Anyone is allowed to change the loo roll, or scrub away their own skid marks and open a window and use air freshener after making said skiddies.

It is not essential to SHOWER in aftershave just cos you are 15. THe idea is to smell nice, not asphyxiate anyone in a 2k radius

The kids hate sitting on your toe/fingernail clippings when they get in the bath

Smoking.

There ae so many, I could go on for DAYS, lol. These are the main ones! lol!!

lol fattarts

I can't stand it when people go out and don't do their hair I mean its not hard to just brush it or put in a ponytail.

I hate muffin tops too but because my tummy skin is so saggy I have a constant one even when not wearing clothes I do hate people that are quite small and would look nice of they worn just one size up tho.

leaving dirty clothes all round the house for me to pick up

unmade beds (they don't have to be made first thing in the morning but I can't stand sleeping in one)

pillows without pillow cases. Ben actually pulls them off in his sleep and it drives me up the wall.
