    People who put their used mugs on the bench above the dishwasher as if it is impossible to open the door and drop them in.

    What was the point in getting married then? If I wanted to do "everything" myself I would have stayed single.

    Huh. That's what I do and they always end up clean on the shelf. Sounds like you need a better dishwasher.

    They’re expensive to change if you married it.

    Will the thread divulge into bad driving like all those that came before?

    I have a dark grey BMW SUV. Is that close enough to put me in the bad bucket?

    If so, cool!

    You drive a Caterham, so you automatically own a “drive whatever the fuck I like as a second car” card.

    Some grumpy old people get very territorial about dishwasher loading.

    Not that I'm accusing Mrs Meldrew of anything....

    That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. I can't bear to see the state of Boneswtra's dishwasher loading.

    Not a euphemism.

    Wife's who remake the bed when you clearly made a lot of effort to make it the first time.

    You’ll need to define “lot of effort”.

    Can relate. Mrs Meldrew has been in Kent looking after elderly parents for the last 2 weeks. Stressful time which she's handled with her usual mix of aplomb, good humour & intelligence.

    First words on coming home and dumping suitcase in bedroom "Have you made the bed differently?...

    Yeah I shoulda checked this with Mrs MN5 before we started seeing eachother.

    Needing a man to make a bed with military strictness wasn’t on her tinder profile.

    If it were, it would probably scare the shit out of a lot of potential suitors..

    When you vacuum before the wife gets home and she asks immediately upon entering "Have you vacuumed?"

    It would simply change to "Is the Robot broken? Can you check it?"

    Oh I have the pleasure of "clean toilet", "do laundry", "wash dishes", "change underwear", the list is endless.
