Buy too many cushions.
Ask "do I look fat in this?" (When there is never going to be a right answer)
Order their meal with a salad because they're 'on a diet' and then steal the chips from their partners plate.

Over to you.. tchsmile

The trouble is that they don't listen annep
They just keep answering back: beep, beep beep

annep Sun 23-Dec-18 09:37:58

lol. I have to try this talking thing.

Just browsing GN and noticed these posts, brightened my day too! And yes, I can relate to many; particularly the members who talk to inanimate objects - I do that........the washer, the fridge, the sewing machine, the iron, the dodgy window catch, the illusive garments..........the list goes on. Keep them coming GN members! "Come on kettle, are you boiling yet"?

oh dear, typos galore, must be getting stressed.

Jalima1108 Sat 22-Dec-18 16:10:27

We have a cupboard like that with a lintel across!

I'll remember that curse next time you tchgrin

I have been know to swear at inanimate objects; in particular the cupboard under the stairs. I am perfectly well aware that I need to duck my head when going in there but, for some reason, I forget to do so on the way back out. That's when I have a one way conversation of "Owww, you *%!@¥#ing ☆&#@! you"! OH just sniggers.

MissA tchgrin am sure the hoover looks forward to coming out now and again.

Hello NellieMoser haven’t seen you on GN for a while.tchsmile
What can’t you get right?

Nelliemoser Sat 22-Dec-18 14:58:42

I cannot get this right.

Jalima1108 Sat 22-Dec-18 14:55:20

I talk to them too, when they bleep at me continually - "Oh, just be quiet will you, I'll be there in a minute"

GrannyGravy13 Sat 22-Dec-18 08:31:30

I talk to white goods also, and myself, that way I can have the last word!

annep Sat 22-Dec-18 08:21:47

Jalima its very handy watching on catchup Netflix etc with the remote between us so you can pause and say whatever...
MissAdventure I don't think I've ever done that. ?

MissAdventure Sat 22-Dec-18 00:42:04

I talk to household items.
The vacuum; "come on, out you come"
The washing; "you will go in the machine, I'm not taking no for an answer. Get in, will you!".

Chewbacca Sat 22-Dec-18 00:32:53

I'll fess up..... I'm a mutterer. If I'm concentrating on doing several things at once, such as prepping a meal whilst shoving the washing into the machine at the same time as listening to OH twittering on about what Sid said at the library this morning; I mutter to myself. Just a low rumbling running commentary on what I've done, what I'm doing now and what I've got to do next. OH doesn't mind. He's partially deaf so he can't hear me anyway. smile

MissAdventure Sat 22-Dec-18 00:23:30

We do that weird thing with our mouth when putting on mascara..

Jalima1108 Sat 22-Dec-18 00:12:55

As is refusing to repeat what a character has just said on a TV programme because if we do we'd both miss what the character says next.
I have that annoying habit too.

As well as seeing something I like in the first shop but checking everywhere else just to make sure before going back into the first shop to buy said object.

It's just common sense - isn't it?
grin

annep Fri 21-Dec-18 23:36:42

Maggiemaybe I do both of those!
What is very annoying is when you look round all the shops and go back and buy the one in the first shop. My husband just doesn't get this need to check everywhere. He would just buy the first one right away.

Maggiemaybe Fri 21-Dec-18 23:17:09

On a trip to town, some of us might see something we sort of like in the first shop we go into, but refuse to buy it immediately because we have this strange compulsion to go into more shops to look at other things in case we see something better, maybe even try things on to see if they fit. This is apparently very annoying. smile

I do the cushion thing too. I love changing the colours/theme. But I rarely throw them out.
I think my husband would say the most annoying thing I do is tidy his room when his back is turned and then he can't find anything. I must plead guilty. I ignore the mess for ages but then I can take it no longer. Yes I know I shouldn't.
Lemongrove I do the guilt thing too. So does my daughter. Its so annoying. I'm trying to stop.

MissAdventure Fri 21-Dec-18 17:37:35

We talk to total strangers whenever there's an opportunity.
That used to annoy my ex, who was such a big friendly giant, apparently.
tchsmile

Jalima1108 Fri 21-Dec-18 17:34:22

ooh, go on grumppa - you won't find any misandrists who will take offence on here tchwink

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. I ain't no fool.
