Some researchers here think it's fine to leave their equipment wet and used in front of our tool storage area where we engineers pick up our stuff. I've on several occasions taken about a 100 kg of wrenches in a couple of boxes and placed it on their chair and work desk. It gets the message across. Even if it causes some what hostile work environment. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does however leave the kitchen looking like a complete mess. Literally pots, pans and leftovers everywhere. The few times I make dinner, I automatically clean up whatever I use right away. My buddy has the exact same problem. Man cooks and it's clean and organised. Woman cooks and it's Dresden 45. My missus claims that the complete opposite is true. She's wrong, actually we both leave the kitchen in a mess. Personally, I don't care. I hate cooking and I don't mind clearing up - as discussed previously, I get to play music and finish off the wine in peace. The longer it takes, the better.

We have a system; I have sole responsibility for loading the dishwasher and washing machine, she has sole responsibility to empty them. Benefits to this are two-fold; 1) I hate emptying things and 2) this completely circumvents the formerly long-running debate about the proper way to load cutlery (as such I no longer have to hear the anecdote/lecture about the suspiciously unnamed "friend of the family" who was apparently paralysed through loading their cutlery into the dishwaser my way, in a Rube-Goldbergian sequence of events). Mind you, come to think of it... now we've got our new Miele (odd to flex about white goods, I'll grant you) with the flat-loading cutlery tray, this wouldn't have been an issue anymore either. Christ, maybe now I'm getting the lesser end of this deal?! I mean it's not like she hangs the clothes up, that still falls to both of us. Looks like I need to do some mental math on the ol' domestic chore stock exchange. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defined you load ,I'll empty , type "arrangements " would do my head in Ours is far less regimented and really about who has the most time on their hands at a given time .... or happens to have made the mistake of wanting some cutlery / glasses minutes after the dishwasher has finished .

Anarchy I tell you, absolute anarchy. As we're both in project management, we've found that our default approach tends to be to map out what needs to be done, work out precise timescales and task-interdependencies, then do absolutely bugger all in the hope the other person blinks first. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lapal_fan Posted January 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2021 We don't have a dishwasher, I just slowly fill up the bowl with warm, wet, moist, dripping water. Ram the stuff in. Like, really shove it in, deep into the bowl and just repeatedly stab all the dirty stuff into the receptacle. Then I just pull up my sleeves and fist the bowl, often up to the elbow. And just plunge in and out, in and out, with my fists really - as fast and as hard as I can. As I'm getting closer to finishing I often hear my wife asking what's taking so long and I just shout back "I'm coming! I'm coming!" and she just calls back "Ok, don't stop!" and then I just finish and pull the plug out and the wet goes down the hole. Honestly, you should see the **** state of the place after I'm done, it's a right shit tip. Frankly, I'm ashamed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted January 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2021 Another phrase related one. And one that is increasingly used on here. Starting off sentences with “I mean”. I mean, you can do that if you want to. I mean, it’s not quite as bad as when it’s spoken, but to me it’s odd written down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phrases I hate "You know what I mean" every few words, I like to say No I dont know what you mean or yes I do know what you mean every time they say it. Normally shuts them up Then there is "And things like that" I like to ride my horse you know and things like that (what else is like that) To be honest ? Well to be honest The worse one is "Like" every other word, Rather than listening to what they have to say I start to count how many times they say it Edited January 15, 2021 by Robtaylor200 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
