No it doesn't. You accept the little idiosyncrasies hoping that you'll alter them. I've been using bitching for 8 years trying to alter them, but it ain't worked yet!

Hmmmm, maybe one should try a different approach. Maybe something like "Darling, I will most certainly agree to that housekeeper you've been requesting, but you realize that before she can scrub the floors, you must have all objects removed from the floor, which would include your towel". Or "shnookems, I will rub your poor aching feet for two hours if you would just kindly pick up your bath towel."

Oh, please! When I'm done with my towel, I hang it up. When I'm done with my dish, it goes in the sink. When I'm done in a room, I turn off the light as I leave. I don't expect any special courtesies as a reward for doing these things. It's called being neat and keeping your house clean! I get annoyed by the fact that others don't see it that way.

Could I put my name back in the running??

Yes, and I got this anal retentiveness from my mother. She is almost OCD with her house. I'm not quite that bad (yet).

First Catt, then Sharon...does this mean I'm at the back of the line? :cry:

LIAR LIAR pants on fire! You may pick up a towel, but when's the last time you've actually whirlied out a toilet, cleaned a bathroom, etc etc.. You also leave the light on 24/7 in the garage. How is that any different than leaving the light or tv on in the bedroom?

And maybe if you'd kiss my butt more, I'd be just a little nicer and pick up my towel.

I'm too busy mowing the lawn, shoveling the driveway, trimming the hedges, cleaning the pool, vaccuuming the carpet, fixing the screens, (should I stop...?), raking the leaves, doing the finances, and WORKING!

(Hey! Maybe we should hire someone to do all that crap! Life's too short.)

Yes, I do. And I even wipe it down with TP!

Oh good lord, he not only puts the part you sit on down, he puts the lid down. I think I'd rather fall into the toilet than sitting on the cold lid in the middle of the night.
