This is an absolutely fabulous thread. I do the same type of thing at work. I will empty a salt shaker half way and see if one of my servers will notice it. I never like the answer.

All I have to say is- we complain about FOTH but we're begging for a sock cam. That is priceless.

Maybe BB will replace the FOTH with a sock cam next year and we can wait and see if any of our husbands pick it up.

Mine wouldn't pick it up, Fan. Ever since I showed him this thread, way back when, it's become his joke to sit on the couch, look to see if I'm watching him as he pulls off both socks, wiggles them at me, and then drops them on the floor! The first few times it was funny.....it's not anymore. Now, not only him but the kids too, will step over the socks and keep going until I get in there and pick them up....sigh.

I miss Abe.

Yikes Wargod! That's just wrong.

The other day I left the house and piled 3 bags of trash to where you would have to climb over them to get into the kitchen. Then I counted the sodas in the fridge. Of course, 2 sodas were gone, but trash was still there. One son said he was in a hurry to leave and didn't have time, and the other said he didn't SEE it. Me and the girlfriend-in-law ended up taking it out. I have only myself to blame, I need to stop setting these people up and counting things. It's only making me crazy. Sigh. I need a job. :)

LOL Abby.

I think my biggest problem is I do it all for them. Hubby and kids both. With hubby, its always since he works so much, I'll do it...sit down and rest.

With the kids......it's just easier and less stressful for me to do it than to fight with them to do it. Takes less time that way!

One and all, they're just completely spoiled. I like things neat. I like things quiet! I don't want to fight with a 6 year old to clean his room.

Of course, this way, I have to listen to whining because....Why didn't I get my allowance this week? Why can't we go to the movies? Do the chores, you get the fun stuff.....hasn't seemed to sink in yet, LOL.

The sad thing is....I know its all my fault. I could make the kids clean their own messes up, the same with hubby. I could also tell hubby how I feel about him dropping his socks in the middle of the floor, but I don't. It's just way easier for me to do it!

War, you want me and Bigdog to come out there and give him a little talking to? No REAL rough stuff, just sort of a friendly reminder?



Abbynormal, you say you already moved those garbage bags? Too bad, could have been garbagecam.

Come on down Juju! That could be fun to watch.

Hehe, I just had a funny thought. Next week he'll be gone for the week...I'm thinking by the end of the week, he'l have a little sock mountain! I should get a cam for that, LOL!

Juju, you do realize that if you go down to "talk" to War's hubby, Bigdog will also have to do the cooking, right? I'm pretty sure that's the deal. Anyone who visit's War, even on serious business such as this, has to cook.

LOL, Tess....no wonder no ones too keen on coming here! You are correct, however, do you have to spoil the suprise for them?????

Oh War, I was laughing at thought of him shaking and dropping them! You'd think that he got the message...yep, spoiled is probably right. Don't feel bad, mine are all spoiled to and for all the same reasons you gave. Now I just tell them my house will be so clean when I live alone! Then I just laugh, because I get these funny looks like what is she talking about. LOL

This sort of thing is bound to happen where a neat person lives with a messy person. The real question is, would it really bother anybody but the sock-picker-upper if the sock was left there until the wearer of it ran out of other socks. We never find out, due to the sock-picker-upper's behaviour. The messy perhaps-messy person gets a limitless supply of clean socks.

The same happens with cleaning the house. The messy person doesn't feel its time to clean the house until the neat one has already done it. Then, why should the messy person endouver to keep the house cleaner than the messy person wants it?

LOL Gentoo, been there, tried that, then they complain that things are a mess. I've been married for almost 31years. It's not gonna change. I've come to know the things I can change, and know the things I can't...and try to except them as they are. Not that I don't like to vent every now and then..hehe

oh and the sock thing...he just buys more socks

Ok, I'll say it because it has to be said...


I would be guilty of leaving the sock there for that length of time and longer. Yes, I said it and I can't take it back <sniff>.

Hello, My name is Fabnsab and I am a SLOB.

I feel better already.

Your second cousin, the roll of unhung toilet papers says Hi!

Omigod, JKM!!! We have the toilet roll thing going on at our house big time!! LOL!!! That bugs me way more than a sock on the floor!!!

You're supposed to "hang" your toliet paper??..myimage

I guess you only "hang" your toilet paper when non relatives come over, before your kids are old enough to go to the bathroom on their own and after they move out and you've given up on your husband .... and given in to your going on 5 year strike.......

Just hang in there, y'all. Obviously Weinermr and Rabbit have not "got wind" yet of the turn this thread has taken.

OH, oh, oh......the empty toliet paper roll absolutely infuriates me! I can't stand that! Why a grown man who uses the last little bitty square of TP can't replace it is beyond me! What makes it really bad is walking in and finding new roll on back of toliet (hubby does that,) or worse yet, on floor next to toliet (kids do that!) I don't care how full the roll on the floor is......it goes straight into the trash.....any of you with 6 year old boys will know why I do that! Oh, I just hate it! LOL.

<rant over, going to go find someplace in a dark corner to hide for awhile!>

Wargod, whats worse is when they set it on the counter, BUT its waaaaaayyyy at the other end of the counter, and you don't realize it until the deed is done. LOL

MERLIN!!!! I think I have stumbled on to husband/gentlemen bashing central. Truly, this thread is in need of our studied understanding of the female species and the clarification of the thought processes of todays enlightened gentlemen.

ummm, see if Adven and Weinermr are busy?
