Putting a few squirts of bleach in the toilet bowl is not cleaning the toilet.
Pro tip: drill a hole in the bottom of the bin so that the stuffed bin bag doesn’t form an airtight seal.
Genius.
Keep their word when they say "if you take her to training, I'll pick her up at 8"
Every ****ing Friday.
I think the significant others of every poster on this thread deserve right of reply, I'm sure it'd be very entertaining for third parties to watch!
It's fascinating to discover how many forum members were incredibly considerate and thoughtful children and teenagers too. It's such a pity that all this moral degradation has suddenly occurred in the current young generation.
Mind you, I live alone, so all the irritating things that go on in my flat are definitely my own fault!
I fitted motion sensor lights in the downstairs bog.
So that's number twos taken care of, but do you pee in the dark?

It wouldn't be the first time we've had parallel threads running over at Mumsnet.
Eventually, 2 of us pulled out all the crap in the sink, sorted out his stuff (which was about 80% of the contents of the sink) and then went and dumped it on his bed. That threat remained for the rest of our time in the flat, he got very good at judging to the last teaspoon what height in the sink would trigger this. Still didn’t do the **** washing up though
I used to just accidentally drop something heavy in the sink when we had a person like that in a house share. The problem solves itself one way or another. Helps that I'm incredibly clumsy.
'Sorry, had to wash my spare brick'.
Helps if there's a washing up bowl though in a share, you can just move it out of the way.
what happens if the poop bores through the glaze?
‘Sorry, had to wash my spare brick’.
That made me laugh.
Reminds me of a Terry *wit strip in Viz years ago:
"Hi mum, I've come to help you wash the dishes."
"OK Terry. 1) I'm not your mum, you live next door. 2) We don't have any dishes because you washed them last week with your dad's hammer. And 3) you're a *wit, now piss off."
I shared a house as a student and all my housemates left a sink full of washing up before clearing off for the Easter hols. I did the washing up before I left but forgot to turn off the immersion heater. Unfortunately the thermostat was broken and the contents of the tank boiled and filled most of the upstairs with steam. In turn, most of the wallpaper peeled and we had to move out. Happy days!
One of my most important jobs as a kid was being the TV channel changer
Our kids leave the TV remote control all over the place, including upstairs in their bedrooms. 😡

TBF I've been known to take the remote control with me to make tea and then put it down in the kitchen and leave it there without. Are your kids nearly 60?
😊 Reminds me of a conference I was at many years ago where a Nobel laureate gave his talk and then left to get a taxi to the airport - still wearing his microphone!
Which reminds of the Greg Davies story…
