Mrs ws is off to filey for the week with the kids and being the kind caring husband I said I'd pack the car for her etc.
What a ****ing shit tip!!! More litter and crap in the footwells than I thought possible!!!
Yep. My wife's car is an absolute skip.
My wife has the only car and it’s used to take the kids everywhere. Therefore, yes, it’s an utter shit tip. To be fair though when I had a car it was probably worse. It was used for transporting filthy bikes and a Newfoundland.
Yup, although I keep it under control once every month or two. I reckon it takes 15 mins and very little effort. Considering how much time she spends in it, I'd have though she'd want it cleaner. Weird.
Feet on the mats and dont touch the paint was always my Dads instruction with us. It worked a treat, his car was always immaculate. We do however all have PTSD as a result.
Yes, absolute bin of a thing. It has the smell of old bananas
Motorised wheelie bin for mine
Yes, but only because I use it.
Yep, I check the tyres and fluids every 5 weeks when I do mine, I pay for the SO's car, servicing and MOT on condition that it's cleaned inside and out once a month, if it's not, I don't pay.
Missus car is used for dog walking and horse riding kit. A bit of a tip and certainly “fragrant”
Yup, skip on wheels, make a point of removing fistfulls of rubbish every time I use it.
Nope I clean her car out regularly. Happy to do it.
Just do it often. Easier. At the same time as my own.
Mrs stus's car is immaculate.
However every time we go away in my car she turns the passenger side into a proper shit tip.
Bucking the trend, but no, absolutely nothing in it when she's not driving it, it's spotless. We don't have Kids, dogs or horses mind.
Yes, filthy. Full of rubbish and dried mud. Boot full of, well I'm not sure really, horse riding gear and school stuff probably, certainly never any room for shopping bags!
Nope. Her car is cleaner than mine. Both have rubber mats, both get litter cleaned every journey. Mine does feature more mud, damp and stuff as it gets used at weekend for riding etc and work is wet/muddy bootful of kit as well.
My partner’s partner’s car is a real shit tip, boot full of mud, assorted broken bits of bike and broken patch leads, back seats are currently full of old GPUs and kids toys, plus thanks to a week of cold mornings and warm afternoons every coat, jacket and hoodie he owns. Passenger footwell is just a sea of empty Diet Pepsi bootles and ‘stuff’.
We have 2 labradors and 3 children. The beach is 3 miles away.
Luckily its an 06 plate Octavia estate.
Its a mobile sand pit / bin.
Yep, absolutely disgusting inside. I cleaned it and had an agreement that I would do it every two weeks unless she let it get in a shit state again. That lasted no more than 6 weeks and now it hasn't been cleaned in nearly a year. I refuse to drive it at all now.
The big issue is that she lets the kids have food and drinks in the car. The longest journey with the kids where her car is used is no more than 30 minutes so there is no need to feed or water them in that time. It is full of crumbs, lumps of food, food wrappers and any other shite that gets in there. It was so bad the rear seat under the child's seat had started to go moldy last time I did clean it out.
She's notorious for it. In the past things have been found to be growing in there.
Not quite so bad anymore as I know what to expect when I want to use the car. So to avoid embarrassment I take several sacks to the car before use for all the rubbish/clothing/toddler clothes & other related items/vegetables/glasses/footwear/plants.
Not so much these days since the brats have grown up ..thats my son & his same aged female cousin who grew up more like brother & sister and were hardly ever apart ..saying that she never would think of cleaning it either inside or out so it's probably just as well that I "enjoy" doing this ..
MrsMC effectively works and eats out of the car - her diet appears to consist of multipacks of crisps and chocolate bars washed down with Pepsi

This!! x10!
I think she must bring stuff specifically to leave it in my car, no-one uses that many tissues in the time she's in it.
Actual reason - she has a fabric 'bin' in her car so all the tissues and sweet wrappers go in it. She then bought me one AS A GIFT!! which I refused to use - why do I want a bin in my car, just take your shit with you! Hence I am sure she deliberately leaves stuff in side pockets and grab handles specifically so she can say when I protest 'Well if you'd used that bin I bought you.....'
Nope. Rubbish leaves with the occupants .
Her rule.
My wife's car is always a notorious sh*t tip but that's nothing compared to her side of the bedroom.
Since I posted the initial thread we've had a "conversation" about the car, somehow it turned out to be my fault as there was to quote "still a ****ing hole in the dining room floor 2 years later". The hole is a building issue and I'm very busy, the 2800 plastic empty water bottles or whatever it was in the footwell are a different issue. I tho k I've just lost the argument!
Yep its a bloody disgrace if you ask me. Trouble is she knows it annoys me more than her and therefor i will clean it out long before she would. And she keeps saying she hates her car and wants a new one.....well bloody learn look after the one you have before you think about throwing good money into another one.
My wife uses her car as a skip.. she does use it for her business though, so it’s always rammed with plaster/paint/brushes/tarps/all manner of screws and fixings and drills and spare batteries..
She has bin bags on the seats “to keep them clean” which is a joke beyond laughter...
When she gets in mine I have a rule.. bring a towel to sit on and take her shoes off.
It grates like eating sandpaper when she gets in and a cloud of dust comes off her like..
Mine’s full of CDs all in the wrong cases, and mud, grass, leaves etc from having an MTB in there sometimes. Mr Pea’s van is an utter tip though- knee deep in empty coke cans, tools, litter from take aways, old jumpers, chewed pens, the lot!
No, clean car camp. Sometimes it gets cleaned and it's not been off the drive since it's previous wash. And I get shouted at for putting my 'dirty' shoes on the mats!
Same when the child was small.
Hers is 3 years old and is in almost showroom condition.
I’ve owned mine for nine months and it is always full of crap, filthy and is beginning to get that outdoors/slept-in smell. Whenever she gets into it I have to move all sorts of stuff from the passenger seat and footwell.....tool kit, bike lights, shoes, helmets and general biking detritus.
To be fair I have probably done more miles in nine months than she has in three years, I sleep in mine occasionally and I really couldn’t care less.
Lol at Andypaul.... our car is a pit and it’s mostly my doing tbh. The child crumb thing has distressed me too.
I had to wince at a lady in local park,bellowing at her kids ,t’other day,”don’t get your effing muddy boots on the car seats. The lease ends next effing week you twits” except she didn’t say twit. 🙁
To be fair the drivers side and the boot of my car are a little dirty too.
Though in my defence my car is my office and I don't exactly wear a suit and tie for my job.
35000 miles a year between customers and getting dirty working shows it's marks on the car...
Half toy box, half dustbin.
I cleaned it out last week in preparation for going biking and filled two Ikea bags. And that was just the stuff to be kept; I could have filled another with everything that went straight in the bin.
Basically, it's a black hole; anything she puts in it stays there until I take it out.

STW would have a fit at ours. But you know what? I don't care.It's not an investment, a status symbol, whatever its job is to get us and our kit to wherever we want.
Why are people cleaning their ‘other half’s’ cars?
It’s.

No
Shit
Sherlock.
My wife's car is pretty new so she wants to keep it fairly spotless despite having 4 kids to ferry around. I've an old Discovery I paid £1500 for that we use as the work horse for camping, bikes and general muddy stuff but even that gets a regular clean inside. (Mud is good anyway)
My wife's daughters new car on the other hand is already an absolute shit tip. Wasn't cheap either.
Nope the inside and outside of my van is spotless and if I met someone whose car was a sh!t tip I think I'd immediately eliminate them from my dating investigations!! Can't abide peoples cars being filthy, I've been know to clean them if people give me a lift in fact.
Neither me or the wife have nice cars, but we don't keep crap in them the same way we wouldn't leave rubbish about the house. Cars get plenty of abuse with kids, bikes, outdoor kit etc. but all the snapped off bits of trim and vomit get cleaned up.

Wheelie bin.
Hairy scary- did you read the Op?
the wife AND kids are off for the week!!!
All back to Wrighyson’s for coke& hookers etc etc. 😉
All this lot sounds like a great many of the Motability cars I used to pick up, most of those with an odd, undefinable odour, sort of wet dog/fags/something it’s best not to enquire too closely about.
My car is usually a bit grubby, it’s a 51-plate, and it now smells very damp; it’s got a leak somewhere which results in the rear offside footwell filling with water, about a centimetre deep last time. Baling it out, (literally), still means a wet carpet and underlay. I’ve sealed the sunroof with clear all-weather tape, hoping that’s going to stop the leak. And it dries out eventually.
No. She doesn't drive. Thus does not have a car.
What she does though is leave her sh*t in my car whenever we go anywhere! I'm talking empty bottles, wrappers, make-up, hair bands, newspapers and magazines etc!!
Must be some kind of "nesting" activity or something...
Nope, because I clean it. It would be if I didnt.
