Annoyances

Like the obesity thing, this is also specific to your environment. I doubt the kids playing pop warner in Lubbock, TX are getting the same treatment.

No, and I'm sure Pop Warner here is the same way.  Pop warner just isn't a big thing here.

I swear that my wife must load the dishwasher by standing on the other side of the kitchen and throwing things at it. How difficult is it to load the freaking thing in some semblance of order?

It's gotta be a woman thing. My wife's daughter is in town to help with her care. She does the dishes all the time now. When I look in the dish washer to get an utensil it looks like it was loaded by a group of ADHD addled Monkeys hopped up on Crystal Meth. If she spent an extra minute loading the freaking thing it would save her an extra 10 unloading it.

I'm a dishwasher Nazi (though we currently don't live in a place with one).

However I'm a complete retard when it comes to unpacking the groceries and putting them in the fridge/pantry.

I think part of my wife's attitude now is that she really doesn't give a excrement where she puts anything because she knows I'm only going to re-order it later on, although it isn't a complicated thing to figure out what belongs where and actually do it right in the first place.

Curiously, my leaving sweaty running and cycling gear lying around on the same principle doesn't seem to be met with the same level of acceptance.

Does she do the Inspector Clousseau thing?

I freaking hate that passive aggressive BS.  My wife doesn't wash my underwear (she puts it in a separate pile and claims she "will get to it") because there are times when they get a bit skiddy.  She then gets all bent out of shape if I don't wash her nasty monthly bill messes.  Where's the justice?  And no, she has no sense of how to load a dishwasher, claiming instead that I'm "better at it", but she also refuses to run the stupid thing until it is completely full.  Oh, the humanity!

My wife is a pretty good cook, but I swear she could could find a way to use 400 different pots, pans, and utensils to make spaghetti noodles.  Jesus woman, reuse something!

I do this too, which is why I don't do the cooking.

Guilty here as well. Unfortunately, I do all the cooking.

OK, things aren't quite that bad in the English household. You might need to deal with this. Also, wipe your arse properly, you filthy oik.

Currently have around 12 large boxes of excrement that doesn't belong to me occupying the center of my living room because my girlfriend's mother is moving. She's too cheap to get extra storage and professional movers even though she just made a ton of cash selling her house and instead we've been roped into providing storage and moving services.

Girlfriend's mom? That would be.... odd.
