We have all the “things that make me proud of my SO” and “Cute things my SO says” threads. Now we need a “things my SO does that might make me appear on Taiwan’s Most Wanted” thread.
Of course these can be semi endearing. As if my choice for the first.
I have not killed my SO for this… yet.
Every so often he joins me when I have already started my shower. Which, of course I love. But he always finishes before me (he doesn’t have legs to shave and he doesn’t use scrubs and shit that girls do). When he finishes he always leaves… WITH MY TOWEL.
Sometimes he is in a hurry to get to work. And then (kill kill kill) he leaves. So I can’t call out and beg for a towel.
Being that there are roommates involved in this situation I can’t streak to the bedroom and then dry off. So I get to put my clothes on my dripping wet self. And thus can’t wear the clothes I took to the bathroom with me.
I have not killed him for this yet. I must be a saint.
You could always squirt a generous blob of toothpaste into his pubes when it looks like he’s ready to leave. That stuff takes ages to remove. Problem solved.
Oh, I see – you’re not actually looking for advice.
My wife has a habit of hiding stuff. Except she calls it “putting things away.” I say its only “putting things away” when you can remember later where the fuck you put it. There’s a reason I’ve been concentrating more on the little sax rather than the tenor for the last few months. :fume: I know she’ll remember eventually where she “put it away” but I’m not holding my breath.
haha. My sister in law does that. My brother calls it “cleaning into oblivion” he often says that she puts his things with all his left socks.
Needless to say, he does most of the cleaning.
But I don’t think she ever did it to his trumpet. God. Your sax.Ouch.

Yeah, my gf does that too. The difference is that she knows where she puts them but always fails to tell me (or even worse, moves something that I put in a specific place because obviously her place is much better and then fails to tell me).
I’m the neat freak and the the household organization nazi. I just tell her: “the stuff you put away is the stuff you get to keep” and I’m serious as a heart attack when I say it. This only applies to the common areas of the house, as I take no responsibility for her study… unless the untidiness causes hygeine problems that require an intervention.
The only habit of hers that has been really hard to break is that get-some-useless-crap-from-your-mother-or-sister-and-bring-it-home-and-stack-it-all-up-in-the corner-in-a-plastic-bag-thing that so many Taiwanese women are fond of doing. arrrggh.

Uhm. You can take “women” out of that.
My man and nick-nacks. I swear.
I am the kind of person who refuses the “free gift with purchase” because I’m just not going to use it. And I throw so much useless shit away. There is just not point in ALL of having that shit laying around.
Today I took a suitcase out to pack for my trip. And hidden in this suitcase… about 100 little paper bags with handles that folks just don’t seem to get ARE JUST BAGS. THEY ARE JUST BAGS!! WHY DO YOU NEED 100 OF THEM???
And why do all the shelves have to have cute stuff on them? No. No. You get your cute stuff off the shelves. That is where my books go.
Oh. Wow. I guess that brings us to #2
Other thing I haven’t killed SO for.
Piles of books (his and mine) on the floor because the shelves are covered with stupid little “just to look at” things.
Attention, women. NEVER DATE AN ARTIST. God.
I can’t help wondering how sandman found out that toothpast in pubes takes forever to clean out? And this thread is good, But I think it would be even more useful to hear about all the things you HAVE killed your S.O. for.
She wants to come visit me at night, then falls asleep while I’m watching TV. When an action sequence arrives during the movie it obviously gets louder, leads to her grumbling about the volume and I have to turn it down… :fume:
I then want to scream - GO SLEEP AT HOME!!! But of course I don’t.
OR
Watches TV with me. When I go to the loo I come back and she’s changed the channel to 中文台.
As some others have mentioned she also has this habit of “cleaning” up the apartment. Afterwhich I can’t find anything and she simply doesn’t know where it is…

Maybe when you shower take two towels with you into the bathroom.

I was gonna say. Didn’t want to be a kill-joy though. Nice work! :bravo:
