AIBU coats on chair-backs

People matter more than things in my world Atqui. And I have more to worry about concerning those people than where they put their coats. As others have said, I am happy to see them and, to be honest, if their coat is annoying me I can move it. Totally over the top reactions I leave for totally over the top situations.

It must be wonderful for those people who are so laid back that nothing trivial irritates them

Perhaps there should be a forum entitled "Just out of interest does anyone else find this annoying?" I expect the OP has enough space in her head for more serious worries too!

I do wonder why so many people are so easily annoyed. It can't be much fun.

I don't have any coat hooks and we put our coats on the newel post which is a nuisance in a narrow hall. What annoys me is that my son who stays every weekend puts his coat on the sofa so it's in the way when anyone wants to sit down.

I hate clothes on chair backs in the kitchen as I worry about cooking smells! Yuck.

Our hall doesn't have stairs, they are in the dining room, but we do have a desk and swivel chair there - the chair gets covered!! We have rail in an alcove near the front door and there is a shoe basket underneath but why use those when there is a handy swivel chair.

Oh good! Glad you enjoyed a bit of silliness.

Oh MissAdventure you really made laugh with your C.U.N............. post. So funny - thank you!!

When the S.O. sold his flat in Northumberland and bought a little house, we had to furnish it from charity shops etc. I knew exactly what I wanted in the hall but never thought I'd find it. We went to an auction house and they said they hadn't got what we wanted; then I noticed the hallstand in another room. They said it was going up for auction that Saturday, so we bid for it and got it for @ £35. The S.O. said he'd never been so nervous in his life! It was even the right colour! I love it so much. In fact, I love the house so much that, when I come back to my own house I feel miserable . Everything we needed we found at charity shops and auction rooms, and did the whole house on the tightest of budgets.

My MIL had one that style that Tegan but hers was very old - is yours a modern version or an old one refurbished?
I wish we'd kept MIL's but our hall is the wrong shape for one.

Tegan - I like your SO's hallstand!

My DC used to rush in from school and hang their coats up on the floor.

I usually had to yell call them back nicely to come and hang them up.
I wouldn't dare do the same in any of their houses

DH gets annoyed if I put my coat on the newel post.
Funny really, because he's not that tidy.

Maggiemaybe

As DH beat me to the newel post today with his jacket, mine is on the back of one of the dining room chairs right now... Am I bovver'd? No!

I would never be upset about where visitors put their coats, I'd just quietly move them if they were in my way and be glad that people visited and felt 'at home' here rather than them getting the feeling they were making the place untidy.

Tidy Wayard Atire Team, (will leave you to work it out)?

*I think you may have been too literal in it's meanings Maggiemaybe.

First World problems: relatively trivial or minor problem or frustration (implying a contrast with serious problems such as those that may be experienced in the developing world).*

GracesGranMK2, I'm genuinely at a loss as to whether you're striving to be amusing here, or whether you simply are as patronising as you appear. No apostrophe in it's, btw.

Who will be first to ring the hotline?

Or the scattered shoes ,hats, and gloves ‘SHAG’ ?

Lol?not a good set of abbreviations, but can imagine OP calling in C U N * squad,

Anyone affected should phone the 'Coats Unfettered Not Tidy' helpline.
That the 'C.U.N..... on second thoughts..

This is clearly a serious situation and as they say on the Beeb, if anyone has been affected by this, they should seek help. A helpline fir instance?

As the song says, "Let It Go..."..
I have 5 hooks at the front door, the GC's pitch shoes all around, only coats on hooks are mine and the very small GC's who I hang up... AND no one puts anything in the cupboard.
I say pick your fights and this is not one...

AIBU to expect people to be reasonable,?IMHO the OP was a lighthearted thread, & didn’t warrant being told that it was unimportant compared to World wide issues, well that goes for all of us surely,being on a site called Gransnet giving our opinions on all sorts of trivia!

Sorry, you didn't say we were targeting GrandtanteJE56, but targeting her thread. Oh for an edit button!
