Just to add, we don't actually have a dishwasher, but included it as I thought it might ring true with those that do!.

GrandmaKT sorry to say there is another cat vomit related incident, posted on here many years ago, if I can find it, I will post it again, just for you! grin

Mr P is a drainage engineer, usually specialising in flood plain management, but not averse to inspecting drains, septic tanks etc. Turds & tampons bobbing around in some disgusting mess, no problem, but a bit of cat sick or ask him to clean the liter tray, and he's definitely marked absent!

“I’ve cleaned your bathroom for you” Er, no I don’t think you have, ‘cos the one you’ve just cleaned is the one YOU use everyday...you haven’t been anywhere near the tiny en-suite I use!

Similar to DH’s “where has my ....... been put?”, Chewbacca. Hmm, there are only the two of us here, I wonder who he thinks has done the putting? grin

#4 "Who's moved my ........, I left it right there on that chair." 10 minutes later, item is found in a totally different place than that chair

#5 "I ate - last slice of bread, last of the milk, whatever-- because I didn't know you hadn't bought any more and never bothered to check before I took it

Your number 1 phoenix closely followed by “what can I do to help you”? When linked to any household task such as cleaning - as only I make it dirty hmm.

And coming in at number 1, is "You should have left that, I would have done it"

This is usually applied to clearing up, washing up, emptying/loading the dishwasher, and nearly always used just as any of the aforementioned tasks have been completed.hmm

And, at number 2 is "Oh, I didn't know that you saving/wanted that." This can be applied to many things, but that cold sausage ( or sometimes in my case, a cold onion bahjee blush) that you were really looking forward to can almost justify some sort of physical reaction, especially if insult has been added to injury by leaving the EMPTY greasy plate in the fridge angry

And, although this isn't a phrase, so I am guilty of deviating from my own OP, I dont think that leaving the hall light on so that I could actually see the cat vomit and avoid stepping in it, goes anywhere near to actually getting a bit of kitchen roll and cleaning it up!
