Thankfully I'm at an age now where I just refuse unless it's 2-3 people. It's also that I plan to go out for 1 or 2 to catch up. It's when I end up out for 5 because I'm the last on the round and it sounds stupid to leave money for everyone else and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those things that is really niggly annoying too. Why ask us to put the washing out? And why do we bother when we know it'll be Feng Shui'ed within the hour anyway!? If only there was a way to avoid this annoyance. Like.... and this might sound crazy.... learning how she wants it done and doing it right first time?

SuperBacon Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 The replies to things like this. This is a shit joke that has been made about 56,000 times since the exam result fiasco in some form or another, and people react like it's the funniest, smartest thing they've ever heard. "Well played Sir" "Tweet of the week!" "You're so clever" "👏👏👏" Fucking idiots. Fuck off. I'm going to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 18, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2020 Exactly. Is she nitpicking, or is there something about the method that is objectively better and worth learning? If the former then she needs to learn to let go a bit and let people do things they way they want to do them. And tbh sometimes you have to learn to let it go anyway, as is the case with my wife's objectively worse dishwasher-stacking technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB6937 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yeah I definitely find most of those discussions with the wife are pretty pointless. She has her way. I have mine. We both survived doing things that way before we got together, so I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with either. But yeah, if I do things my way and then she just follows around changing it, that's just her being fussy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted August 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 18, 2020 Happy wife, happy life. Let go of caring about who’s right and do it how she wants. Annoyances avoided. Unless it involves route planning, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat navs. Rather than use it as an aid to help you if you're not sure where something is, people become way to reliant on them and will completely question their own judgement on a journey they have made 1000 times because the sat nav told them to.

It's fine as long as you're not a total wrong'un who leaves knives pointing up. Or the absolute dirt worst are people who don't put cups and glasses in upside down. Although one of my ex's mum would fully wash everything then put it in the dishwasher. What's the fucking point of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Apart from cups and glasses, there is no right or wrong way of loading a dishwasher. It all gets cleaned in exactly the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad puts his on to go to the local shop, a 2 minute drive that involves two turns, a route he's taken thousands of times since 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise just lie one plate flat on the top rack and one flat on the bottom one and its 'full'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
