She sold a chest of drawers on eBay (which she only bought a few weeks ago but decided it didn't smell right), the people collected it today, so naturally on Saturday evening we had to bring it down a couple of flights of stairs. It would have been far easier if she'd let me just take it down...

Ah my wife is fine with that. The issue on cleaning is that she will either go ALL out, or do nothing at all. There is no middle ground. So cleaning the bathroom will take at least an hour and a half. We've got three bathrooms and a downstairs loo. It's the same with other rooms. She won't...

I got in trouble on Wednesday because I wasn't appreciative of the efforts the wife had gone to in order to 'help me out' with the recycling. I walked in the door to find my 12 year old son ripping a few very large cardboard boxes into tiny pieces, and then stuffing them into another box. I...

That is brilliant. Everyone should read this after the thread. "Margret thinks I'm vain because... I use a mirror when I shave. During this argument in the bathroom - our fourth most popular location for arguments, it will delight and charm you to learn - Margret proved that shaving with a...

dannyboy Does your wife ever know what she wants to eat? EVERY night my wife asks me what I want to eat. "I don't know love, I've been at work all day and had a 2.5 hour journey home, I just want to take my coat off". I should just get in there first really, maybe ask her in the morning as I...

I think we have the same wife. Mine doesn't iron, won't wash any recycling item. Heaven forbid would she fold a cereal box so you could get more in the recycling - nope, just crush it in the most inefficient manner possible. Ideally leaving the discarded Weetabix wrapper inside so that the...

Washie, like everyone else in the country, we have a carrier bag, full of other carrier bags. The thing that's special about us is that she refuses to let me keep any of these carrier bags in the car. So EVERY time we go to the shop we buy a load more, which she won't throw away because it's...

Haha, yeah it's the little things that grate, but actually all the important stuff is fine. I just get on with it. She threw my cycle bottle away last month. I found out when I was about to go on the bike track at Bedgebury. "Have you seen my drinks bottle" "What drinks bottle" "The one for...

VERY good point. We've got keyless entry and start on the car. You'd think that this would mean you simply put the key in your pocket / handbag / whatever and then never worry about it. Not my wife. First of all, she has 12 keys on her key ring. The car key, the door key and several others...

She's super concerned about the environment, and aside from becoming a vegan likes to make sure we recycle. Of course, by recycling she means putting everything that isn't food in one bin. So I then have to go through it, in the middle of the night, removing all the glass items and things that...

I can't speak for all women of course, but the one I'm married to is wholly incapable of loading a dishwasher. She seems to have a rule of thumb along the lines of 'put as little as possible in, whilst taking up the maximum space and ensuring nothing can get cleaned properly'. She puts things...
