Argh my husband is terrible about leaving the cupboard doors open too. I can tell exactly what he did in the kitchen based on which drawers and cupboards are open. He never forgets to close the fridge or the front door so it seems like he should be able to handle this. The worst is one cabinet at an offset height with a really wide door so the corner of it is right at my eyeball level. I'm sure that I'm going to come down in the middle of the night and poke my eye out.

He also won't roll down the bag after getting cereal out. And he takes 2 litre bottles of soda to his desk and drinks right from them. Nothing classier than a guy playing Diablo 3 and swigging pepsi from a family sized bottle.

Unfortunately I am a slob too in my own ways so I can't bitch too much.

I have one (I don't think I've seen it, so far and I'm shocked).

When my lady and I first started co-habitating, she had a rather ... lazy, ignorant, waste of oxygen living with her. This person also had an (almost) three-year-old daughter.

It perplexed me but, I distinctly remember thinking (and saying) on several occasions: "I live in a house with three females. Why the hell am I the only one putting the toilet seat and lid down?"

Screen captures (and pissing on shadows) still RULE! Ya feel me?

ok....wait a minute.....the WOMEN leave the toilet seat UP??? Are you sure they were all actually....women??

Guys leaving the toilet seat up IS a pet peeve....but I really haven't had much trouble with it ever since I moved out of my mother's (and away frm my stepfather) My dad and my brother were always very good about putting the seat down. My ex that I lived with for 10 years was also very good about it. But then....he told me one time that he usually sat down anyway....

As far as the cabinets being left open goes.....I don't have a problem with that because I'm too damn short so that even when a cabinet IS left open my head grazes UNDER it anyway. I hate being so freaking short...

A long time ago I was on crutches, my dependance on the crutches was total, and my biggest frustration was the X leaving the toilet seat down. I was too fucked up to be able to bend down to lift it, and hooking it with the bottom of my crutch was about as difficult as putting an earthworm back in a hole. So when I see people going nuclear over an inconvenience I find it chuckle worthy cuz "inconvenient" has a different meaning to me.

All I can say is, you try getting up in the middle of the night, in the dark and sitting on a loo with the seat up. I want to sit on the pan, not fall down it!

Clutter, I hate it and won't deal with it. Everything has a home, put it in it's home or it gets ditched. Saving stuff that might be needed some day, ya know 100 years from now we might need it. If something is not used in 6 months (a year for clothes), it's gone! Anything he might really need some day goes in the garage and stored neatly.

He's pretty well organized and he likes the house neat and clean, the few things that drive me crazy are putting his jacket on the chair in the foyer instead of the closet which is right there. Doing laundry and some of his clothes are inside out. He'll leave dishes in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher right away. That's a pet peeve of his, me not being able to leave a dish or two in the sink, the second I see it I'll either put it in the dishwasher or wash it, dry it, put it away. He figures wait until after dinner and then fill the dishwasher. He doesn't wipe down the shower walls after showering, I don't like water spots on the shower walls and shower doors. The fireplace mantle is not the place for keys, sunglasses, pocket change, cell phone. I clean every day, I have asthma and with dogs, cats and a parrot, I have no choice but to clean daily if I want to breathe.

The toilet seat up doesn't bother me, being with former Dom/husband for over 20 years and raising our two sons, I adjusted quickly with being out numbered by males in the house.

Ah, yes, reminds me of one of my all-time domestic pet peeves.

We recycled most containers in our household, so whenever anyone drank the last of the milk, juice, soda, water, whatever, that person was responsible for rinsing out the container and then adding it to the recycle bin.

This led to a new family game which most accurately could have been called the "How do I quench my thirst but still manage to leave some liquid in the container so the next person has to do the clean out?" game.

Fact is, both my kids and my ex-spouse got so good at this game, they could leave an amount which amounted to no more than a tablespoon of liquid in the container. When called on it, they would then claim that this relieved them of the obligation to rinse it out and add it to the bin since there was still some liquid in the container.

For some reason, every guy I have been with, leaves the shower knob on when they finish.

So when I get in I am shocked and annoyed by the wrong temperature.

I always turn the shower head off, arrange the hot/cold first and THEN turn it on.

Why is this is so strange?

My biggest bitch is when i make an effort to be less sloppy, or try to clean up our space and he comes behnd me and undoes all my work. I admit don't mind though i should when we're both at fault, but i hate and become very resentful when i am the only one making an effort.

That goes for my parents too. I try tobe considerate and hang the bathmatt up and dry the floor, and i am the only one who does. My mom will outright flood the bathmatt, KNOW she did and walk off and leave a mini lake for someone to come discover. It is VERY unpleasant walking in and stepping in a very cold mushypuddle of rug. I am also the only one who tries to keep the kitchen sponge from getting manky, and the only one whom it bothers when the sponge stinks to high hell, makes my handsstink and the dishes stink. Ok my dad tries, but only very very half assed. It's my mom that leaves it floating in a sink full of water for however long on end. And its not that hard to squeeze it out and put it on the sink ledge.

People who put empty (or next to empty) ice cube trays away. I have four ice cube trays - and I get two ice cubes out of all of them. (My next fridge is definitely going to have an automatic ice maker).

Wet towels on the floor. Drives me crazy. My son does that all the time.

I hate stuff in the sink. I hate it. I empty the dishwasher all the time and put any dirty dishes in it till its full. Why is there a full sink (and empty dishwasher) when I come home from work???? I'm getting angry thinking about this!

Don't get me started on those who will pull out a new roll of toilet paper but NOT put it on the spindle.

After the step son finished college, we got his dorm fridge. My son grabbed it. When looking for missing plates in his room, because he never brought them back up, I opened the fridge and found all the missing items. Dirty plates, glasses and utensils. When asked what the hell he was thinking, his response was that we always said leaving dirty food items attracted mice, and this way the mice wouldn't be attracted.

This being the same kid who saw a mouse one day, put an empty box on top of it, and left it for me to get rid of.

My roommate does much of the cleaning as he's unemployed while his girl/the other roomie and I work. So everything is to be kept neat to his standards or else, it seems.
Usually not a problem, he's far from a slob, except he puts the glasses away upright in the cabinet. I've tried to explain, and she's tried to explain that they should be stored upside down, but he doesn't listen. Then people come to the apartment and try to tell us the glasses are put away wrong. WE KNOW, DAMMIT. And whenever I'm putting away dishes I store the glasses properly, and he just has to correct me.

This is something I've never understood.....why do glasses get stored upside down anyway?
