I can't be arsed with that. Tried it once when we went on holiday. Like a dick I turned the fridge freezer off instead of the microwave. Full of meat and fish. Came back two weeks later to the smell of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch off and shut the door. The office gets that treatment. Laptops anywhere else get put away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playstation, televisions, etc. They're all just lazy cunts. Also, again low risk and not overly likely, but a potential fire / overheating hazard if there is an internal issue within said charging unit 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister in law had some family over from Florida in the summer. They were impressed with her washing line. They don't have one and none of their neighboursdo either. Said they just bung everything in the tumble drier. It only falls below 30c about 6 weeks a year. Madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Mrs. won't eat food past it's sell by date. "Will you eat that bread with tomorrows date just before midnight?". "Yes". "What about one minute past midnight?" "Er, no." Fairly similar...

Surely its the law to eat the contents in the weeks preceding the holiday, therefore using up the food and making a substantial saving that can be spent whilst on holiday. You’ll be telling us you don’t vac and clean before you go next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a job, make two. Open a tin of something but leave the empty can unrinsed. I usually follow up and do it as they wash dead quick if you do it straight away, but after a matter of minutes they develop a concrete like film. Once tried leaving a can for several days to see if would get washed. Couldn't hold out though, so ended up cleaning it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these using power too when not in use, and are they equally likely to suffer from China syndrome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do this all the time, leave stuff she's left that's fucking obviously in need of cleaning / tidying up I don't know if she knows, and it's a stand off and she's winding me up, or if she genuinely doesn't notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken to throwing anything that’s fallen onto floor into their beds, which Mrs has go at me for. Her major annoying trick is filling an old cereal box with rest of recycling including tins and glass to make easier to go to bin. Tell her to throw it into the waste bin to save the effort at recycling centre when it screws magnetic sorting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that, Mrs Sweep just chucks stuff in, some of it even "upside down" so that it's just full of water when we go to empty it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never clean cans, I just get them chucked in the recycling bin as they are - I know it's not what you're supposed to do, but I really can't be arsed washing stuff before it goes in the green bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
