Oh that is a door you don't want to lean against.

Oh, Esspee, I so understand, my DH is just the same and it drives me totally nuts! I am usually up before him, but when I go up later all the drawers in the chest of drawers are not quite closed. I too have to check the doors at night

He also never puts anything away, but leaves items neatly on the work top just under/above the cupboard/drawer they ought to be in. I sometimes I wonder how much of my life has been spent closing drawers, locking doors, putting items back in cupboards.

The problem is I cannot ignore them because I am a very tidy person and untidiness like this makes it dfficult for me to function.

It is not as if I can blame his mother. She did her best but she used to say in despair 'born in a barn, if I didn't know better'

I have to confess that DS is even worse! The day the kitchen fitters finished their new kitchen I was talking to DDiL and said, half joking, 'Has DS left his socks on the new floor yet? 'Funny you should ask that' replied DDiL,' I have just drawn his attention to them.'

I am sure many of us have people in our lives that we love but who sometimes drive us crazy.
As an example my OH and I are a great match BUT he constantly leaves drawers, cupboards and doors open. I am constantly closing things and I have to check the outside doors as they are often unlocked.
He is 75 so I reckon I am unlikely to be able to change him so I try to remain calm and ignore it.
What drives you crazy about your loved ones?
