Words that make my heart sink!

new and improved......

My husband is a useless diy person…”.if I shouted the sink is blocked “…his reply would be “ well fix it then”….he did nothing…ever!

Yes I can relate to all those comments I often get asked the question how do you (spell says the word). I will respond straight away. I am told just Googling it so my response it why did you ask me then😡!

Thanks for the laugh,can identify with all of the above,but still married after 54 years !

DH groans when I say, ' I've put it in a safe place'.

Mine does too!

In an argument I always get- That's not the point. The thing is----the opposite of what I and family say. I have never understood why he sees black as white . Now SiL says "a pity we can't do( something) or I suppose we can't do this.

" I've ordered 5 more from Amazon" which is why we have sheds full of stuff.
And back from work, "I've hit the wing mirror again so sorry."

Queenie, ditto, all very familiar and still married after 54 years 😻

I have 150 photos of my new grandchild on my phone.

The word “just” is a short innocent word BUT whenever it is used it means things refuse to work or take too long or are impossible to comprehend or end up costing a fortune. I could continue with numerous further examples.

“ I was just about to do that” when you have finished a task!

My worst at the moment is still “due to Covid”, although it’s now fading away. Grrrr 😡

“And not only that” when he is telling a long, rambling tale that l have heard many times before while l am trying to enjoy a television programme in the evening. Nothing l say can stop the flow until he has come to the end.

I’m a chuckerouter. My dread is Meryl, have you seen 😱

My husband is a bit of a perfectionist and I would quite like everything done yesterday (I've got better on that over 40 years!) Husband's favourite phases on decorating - 'It's not a 5 minute job' and 'It's not as easy as you think' After a week of prepping and two weeks of diligent work he might have manged to paint a room!

When OH asks me "what have you got planned today?" I always want to say back, "Just tell me what you think I should be doing".

It's "do you have anything you need to do today?" This is shorthand for a bored retired husband who is longing for me to think of something for us to do!

Another one from dh what's the timetable today? My response we are retired unless there is an appointment booked somewhere I am clocked off. We ran a business together our life was a timetable now it is not thankfully.

“I am just going up into the loft for a), b) or c)”.
This nearly always happens an hour - no longer - after I have vacuumed and cleaned the landing area under the loft hatch.

“Do you mind if I play golf on (any given day)”. I always agree unless there is an important reason not to, or he sulks for hours and the day is no good for doing anything else.

" Lessons will be learnt"😡

My other half common words are 'have you seen?' normally car keys, sometimes he actually hangs them up. But there's always something he can't find. "Have you seen"is going on his bl***y gravestone!!!

I too get “have you seen ….” Constantly.

I also keep telling DH he is a LIFO - this is an old I.T. term from back in the 80’s meaning Last In First Out in programming. He wears the same underwear/clothes/bedding all the time because he can’t be a****d to put anything at the bottom of a pile or drawer. Freezer is the same. If I ask for mince I always get the most recently purchased pack which of course he has put in. This is how his life is. Aaaarrrrgggg!!!!!!!! 🤬

‘ Might you be able to?’ ,,,,,, Well I might but will I want to.

Leave it with me….in my experience a response that means nothings going to get done!! My old boss’s catch phrase.

When you get up from sitting down: While you’re up, would you just….
Come and look what the dog’s done
And most often: Have you seen my phone? (why do I have to look for it too?)

"Have you seen my phone?"
"Why yes, dear, it's oblong about so big, makes a noise and plays hide and seek!"
*The look of not understanding...
"Oh, you wanted me to help you find it? Well where did YOU have it last? Should I buy you one of those stretchy key chains so you can attach one end to your phone and the other (around your neck) to your trousers? Why don't you look for it, dear?"

Just ring it from yours! Lol
