Men, lots of men. That’s who. I even knew a guy who told me he drives himself nuts because he leaves cabinets open. Worst of all, my husband will take out sandwich making materials from the fridge, then leave the door open while he makes his sandwich. Like it’s so hard to close the door and then reopen it.

If I leave a cupboard door open, I’ll have a cat in it. Guaranteed.

They can’t help it. They’re indrawers-only.

My mom ALWAYS nagged at us for leaving things laying around or open in the kitchen. Then, one time in college, my at-home brother emailed me a photo of the kitchen after mom went in there to make some oatmeal. We ended up drawing little lines to label the FIFTEEN things that were out of place. It was hilarious….but I forgot my point…..Oh yeah, the picture looked like a poltergeist movie.

Well, sometimes nagging comes AFTER the gentle reminders. How many times do you have to say, “Please don’t put apple cores and candy wrappers in the kitchen sink with the dishes.”? Seriously…

Something tells me Rainne is not a hit with the ladies.

I can’t believe that there are people who habitually leave cabinet doors and drawers open. Just reading about it makes me angry.

I’ll be darned. Who knew that so many people left cabinets hanging in the wind.

I’m pretty sure someone can bring something to someone else’s attention without being mad. Usually it’s by asking before it becomes an actual problem. “I don’t like that. I’m not mad yet, but if this keeps going on for a month I will be. So stop now, please.”

Also, I’m pretty sure most “nagging” would not exist if people actually did the simple things they were asked…

Or, someone could just take 1/10 of a second to close a door, rather than do a “honey I fixed it!” for the sake of asshole-based pride…

I came up with a few comebacks ranging in “meanness” that she could use depending on how good a relationship they have and how good a sense of humour he has. (For me, always a big plus in a partner.)

1. I just saw a doghouse and thought of you. 2. I just saw a couch on the side of the road and thought of you. 3. I just found this box of tissues near this bottle of lotion and thought of you. 4. Oops, I just broke this little pencil and thought of you.

It’s probably the only time he’s closed the door and he will point out that he did this once for the next ten years — with great pride.

I’d say this is pretty much the perfect note. It manages to be lighthearted and humorous while being incredibly PA.

A+

It starts off as jokes, but then it evolves into the unbridled hate and resentment that me and my Steve have. It must be a Steve thing. Well, mine has never bought me flowers…

I agree with every post here.

(Except maybe the “LOL losers live with their mothers” argument, because it’s ridiculous and doesn’t add anything.)
