Just out of curiosity. What is someone else’s most annoying habit? Tell me about a specific person who does a specific thing (i.e. my coworker spits gum on the ground in our parking lot, not when people litter.) What is just the absolute worst?  |

My parents “save” kleenexes and paper towels to “use later.” Except they never use them later. So I just find them lying all over my house. Or my dog shreds them. 1) gross 2) wasteful 3) messy And YES I have reusable cloths in all the rooms. I once cleaned my entire house using only leftover paper towels from one visit. Entire house! One visit! Ridiculous.

Along the lines of paper towels, my mom gets paper towels wet and wraps them around every random bit of produce that she wants to save in the fridge (or out of the fridge too). So when she visits our fridge becomes a giant wad of cold, damp paper towels surrounding half eaten produce.

And I really thought that you meant that your coworker spit gum on the ground and was really horrified.

I have dated more than one man that does the following:
1. Brushes teeth at the sink
2. Puts mouthwash in mouth
4. While swishing their mouthwash, walks over to the toilet and pees.
5. Spits their mouthwash into the toilet on top of their pee and flushes.
I’m sorry but why. Just use the sink. Disgusting.

But I keep thinking about like splash back. Or the smell of peppermint pee? 🤢 |

C will go to the bathroom, not close the door, then get angrier when I walk by to the bedroom and not give him privacy.
Dude, just close the door when you go in.

SO wears flip flops around the house instead of slippers but takes them off if he just has to run up or down the stairs for something. But he just leaves them at the bottom of the stairs and I am forever tripping over them.

OMG, M is continuously incredulous that we did not know that bats are pollinators. This is a factoid that she learned over a year ago and we responded with something like, "Oh, interesting, I didn't know that." And still about once a week she says, "I can't believe that you didn't know that bats are pollinators."

A takes out the trash on Wednesday mornings. He doesn't replace the bags in any of the small trash cans, just the kitchen one.
I take out the trash as needed during the rest of the week, and occasional Wednesdays. I always replace each bag as I remove it. New bags are always LITERALLY within reach of the can.
WHY. Why. Why.
