thingz that get your goat at home

[Badgers]

Not a lot really....

 

[mrsfran]

The impossibility of washing up without getting water all down me and over the floor.

Also, the kitchen stool. I need it because I can't reach the cupboard shelves. But I have no where to put it when it's not in use. So it GETS IN MY WAY.

 

[SubZeroCat]

unexpectedly running out of things: like you put some toast on, and there's no butter or like just enough for a scrape, put the kettle on and there's no milk, go to take a shower and some fucker's used the last of the shower gel, etc etc.

On a similar note to the OP, I live in a house sharing with 5 other people with the hot water running from a storage tank rolleyes: ) so if someone has taken a shower in the middle of the day, i would have to wait at least 40 minutes to take a shower cos the hot water runs out so have to wait til all the water in the tank heats up again.

Or on the rare occasion in the morning (thankfully we all have differing schedules) I wake up and go the bathroom to have my usual shower, but there's someone in the bathroom -no worries I think, they're just using the toilet/brushing their teeth - and then i hear the shower going: They've taken my showering-window. Totally fucks up my morning routine.

Or when you're eating something totally delicious and you leave the bestest bit till last: And then you drop it/it falls of the plate. ARRRGGGH!

Heh, you make me laugh Madusa

Realising I've forgotten to take my washing out and it all smells of damp tramp gets my goat.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Stoats in moat boats.

*gets goat*

 

[SubZeroCat]

I always forget to empty the liquid in pans/glasses/bowls before washing up. So the sink is full of hot clean bubbly water. And I have dregs of wine, tea, cereal water and pan water to get rid of somewhere else.

Neighbours who throw used nappies off their balconies in the general direction of the bins.
Neighbours throwing their bin bags near the bins instead of into them so that the foxes tear them to shreds and scatter cheap fried chicken bones & containers everywhere.
Being charged by Lambeth Council to park in the car park outside my own flat on an estate. Worse that they ran out of parking vouchers 6 weeks ago but haven't stopped the £80 a pop car clampers from coming round.
Cleaning paint brushes.

New toilets.

I had my bathroom suite changed last year and the new water saving bogs only have a bit of water in the bottom to aim at (about 4 inch diameter)

My old bog had a big pool to unload my undercarriage onto, which was nice for admiring my handy work, and also I hardly ever left any skidmarks.

Now with the 4 inch bullseye I frequently end up with last nights tea all over the porcelain.

Same ere Og, the bog here is fuckin tiny, after youve dropped your load youv'e gotta flush the fucka and give it a good brush with the bog brush, a lot of effort just to take a shite.

a lot of effort just to take a shite.

Another one of the working mans pleasures gets taken away.

I've got a mini sink next to the main one just for that purpose

 

[northernhord]

cats bringing in dead rats as gifts.

 

[Numbers]

Clothes just left lying around, unwashed dishes, unhoovered rugs/carpets, unpolished surfaces, friggin dust, unorgansied tins in cupboards, socks nor paired and put in the sock drawer, bath not rinsed, skirting not dusted, bed not madee, shoes not in the shoery, cd's not organised, cups left in the bedroom/bathroom, water container not refilled, recyclng things not rinsed, recyclable things in the main bin mad: missus), cable management (power/ethernet etc. if used) not adhered too...

Not much really

 

[mrsfran]

Threads from the Dead.

 

[geekpenguin]

My mom putting water bottles in her bin, even though she knows we're trying to recycle them - she does it on purpose, I swear.

My nan rinsing out said bottles - particularly milk ones - but not getting all of the milk out, and then getting covered in rancid milk water when I go to recycle them.

Finding the toilet lid left up, despite living in a house that's all girls!!!

I'm think I may be too pedantic...it annoys me all the same.

 

[Badgers]

I could go mad on this thread but the wife is reading

 

[N_igma]

People watching T.V. at a ridiculously loud level while I'm trying to sleep.
Another sleep related one, our doors creak a lot and sometimes people don't close the doors properly which means all I hear is a door creaking. I need a certain amount of silence before I sleep.

 

[pogofish]

Banging doors, goats & currently the slug/snail population.

 

[becki1701]

Yeah, like Madusa, forgetting there's no milk and making myself a cup of tea before I open the fridge and realise it!

 

[blues]

Putting CD's/DVD's into the wrong case
Putting used teaspoons on the worktop instead of in the sink/dishwasher
Putting ANYTHING related to pet feeding in the washing up with human stuff
Undoing the dog's training by inviting him onto the sofa

All these are only an issue when a particular friend comes to stay

 

[northernhord]

cats following me round when I get in from work.

 

[fuBganger]

All of the door handles in our house are at belt loop level and every effing day in life I get caught on them. Hissy fit ensues.

 

[Wolveryeti]

Generally, breaking stuff (especially bottles of wine: no booze and fucking shards everywhere -arghhh!)

In a more minor way: missing the bin when I'm attempting a 3-pointer from the other side of the kitchen.

 

[dilute micro]

Got mine and sucked the life out of it.

 

[northernhord]

getting loadsa flyers from shitty kebab and curry take-aways pushed through the letterbox on a daily basis.

I hate it when that happens ! I managed to rip a pair of my favourite jeans doing that. We have a dado rail down the stairs that's the height of the top of your arm and I keep banging my arm on the corner and getting lots of bruises.

Another banging into things-related injury is when I'm walking around in my room without the light on and hit my leg on the corner of the bed .
