Now let's be clear here: this is not a kerygmaniacal musation about the meaning of whatever chapter and verse that is - I am sooo over exegesis at the mo ![[Snore]](graemlins/snore.gif) - but a sort of heavenly meander about, well, being right really.
You see, being practically perfect in every way, I have a real insight into Right. And I have found some dreadful Wrongs in lesser mortals. Not trivial things like invading muslim nations or destroying the Ozone, but Serious Things™
Did you know there are some people who hang their toilet paper in such a way that the dangly bit goes down the wall side of the rolly bit, instead of the accesible exposed outer side ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif) ?
Some people place boiled eggs upsidedown in the egg cup. Yup, upsidedown. Which means they chop off the Wrong End to access the yummies inside .
Worse: some people (and I will name no names ![[Biased]](wink.gif) ) leave the pegs on the line after removing the clothes . ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) It's true. I'm married to one. ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif)
What's on your unforgiveable sin list?

Not only that, there are some people so comfortable in that sin that they come into my house and rearrange my toilet paper so that it hamgs down the wall side as well (I could get hellish here, but I won't)!
Another thing on my sin list is when members of my family see that the trash can is full and instead of emptying it, start a trash pile on the kitchen counter nearest the trash can.

Piling the washing-up so high that when you tryto access your mug at the bottom, the whole pile comes crashing down, typically breaking at least one item of crockery, for which you of course get the blame.
[ETA - cp with Izzybee - ah, yes, trash bins. Leaving the bin lid up in the summer and then complaining there's a smell in the kitchen]

Are they pet owners? Some dogs and cats will roll the roll towards them in order to get a long end of paper to play with. In many cases this can be foiled by hanging the roll paper-to-wall.

I read it as 'widdling on their thumbs' which is probably related to no. 1 on my unforgiveable sin list, namely, not putting the loo seat and lid down when you've finished. Also related to not aiming straight and widdling on the floor. Especially carpeted floor. Yeuuuuuch!

Oh yes, leaving pegs on the line! HWMBO does that too and regularly watches me going and getting them all in and putting them in the plastic bucket provided. I sometimes wonder if me taking them in annoys him as much as him leaving them out does me!
Other sins against humanity are hanging trousers on shirt hangers and shirts on trouser hangers, and the way Mrs E, who 'comes in and does' for us, hangs my trousers on the line after she has washed them drives me scatty!
And as for folks who don't wipe the cooker over with a damp cloth when they have finished cooking - aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!
I, of course, have no bad habits of this nature and am amazingly easy to live with, just as you'd expect. You only have to ask PeteCanada who will, if he knows what's good for him, completely agree!

Two things that drive me nuts: Opening or finishing a package of cheese, or some other comestible, and leaving the packaging on the counter, when the waste basket is only two steps away; making a mess (spilling crumbs or coffee grounds, for example) and not tidying it up, when the sponge is right there and it would only take a moment....

Not as bad as widdling on the radiator in the toilet - my brother used to do that regularly at home, resulting in the radiator having to be replaced because it was rusted through after about 2 years.

Someone in this house 'helps' with the laundry. He (oh yes, it's the 'he' of the household), empties the washing machine, but always leaves one item tucked away in the drum, which I don't find until after the next wash (which is usually white if a dark item has been left, and v v).
He then takes the wet items from the basket, and pegs whichever bit he grabbed hold of to the line, and then pegs another random bit of said item alongside...just as it comes.
Dried clothes are taken down and dropped into the basket, and are brought back indoors just as they land. (To be fair, he does bring in the pegs).
Sometimes he gets down the garden before me to collect washing that I have hung out, shaken and pulled into shape while wet, and performs the same unpeg-and-drop-into basket routine.
He doesn't understand why I thank him through gritted teeth.

OK, here's my hitlist:
People who use all but the very last square of toilet paper when there's clearly no replacement roll. I mean, why not use the lot? Why leave the torment?
Folk who leave trolleys in the parking spaces of supermarket car parks. Are they that lazy?
Small kids who can only communicate by screaming.

I think the classic of this ilk is the leaving a tiny film of milk in the bottom of the bottle/carton - just enough so it's not "empty" and therefore they are justified in returning it to the fridge, but not enough to actually use (unless you take your tea/coffee by the thimble-full).
My other current bugbear is a certain person at work who points things out on my LCD screen by actually touching the screen. It's not just the fact that he lives big smudgy fingerprints on my monitor but that he gets upset when I explain that I can't explain to him what such-and-such error message means in the email he's just sent me because the text in question is hidden by his big fat finger!
From the same perpetrator - not understanding the concept of personal space.

I work in an open area, and so have to set very strict boundaries with my co-workers as to when I may and may not be interrupted. High on my list of * "ungorgivable" sins is said co-workers standing at my desk while I'm on the phone. Most people will see I am otherwise engaged, then toddle off and check back in a few minutes. Others, however, settle in happily for the duration, listening to me with great interest as I try to, say, work on a safety plan with a client who's being abused. Much fun.
In my family, it has always been unforgivable to "kill a stretch." This involves sneaking up on a person engaged in a prolonged and eminently satisfying full-body stretch, lying in wait until they are at the utmost limit of said stretch, and digging them in the ribs. (Then running like the wind, pursued by their victim!)
* Zappa, this is a great term! It has overtones of one's gorge rising - it's in my permanent vocabulary now.

Oh, goody, a chance to vent about the two young men living with me (my son and his friend)!
Please, just finish the last mouthful of soda, milk, juice, tea, whatever, in the fridge and don't insult the next person by "saving" it for them. Don't tell me you couldn't fit it in the glass. I know it's a dodge to get out of putting the container in the trash. Which of course is too full, and they'll be damned if THEY'RE gonna be the one to walk it 20 feet to the outdoor container and miss out on a minute of WoW. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
Same holds true for cereal, crackers, cookies (I mean leaving one Pecan Sandie-- WTF kind of an insult is THAT?), peanut butter, cheese, lunchmeat, etc. In fact, if anything requires being dealt with other than by consuming, it's to be ignored. Oh, and not reclosing the container so the crispy stuff doesn't get soggy and the soggy stuff doesn't get crispy.
Oh, and please don't tell me when you take the last roll of TP (from my bathroom) -- I LOVE surprises! Especially when you leave just three squares on the empty roll.
Leaving clothes in the dryer (or washer) when someone else wants to use it.
Making macaroni and cheese in the middle of the night and not cleaning up the pans, utensils, or the dishes. And hoping the dishwashing troll will do them. In fact the drainer full of clean dishes would love to be emptied (as would the dishwasher), since they haven't figured out how to put themselves away yet. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
Food trash in one's bedroom should be left long enough for the Florida-sized cockroaches to clean it up, thereby saving you a trip to the (overflowing) trash can. Ants, too. They love grease and sugar. ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

My darling Mr. Foxy is hanging the storm windows right this very minute, and he scrubbed out the humidifier before that, and this morning he changed a very poopy 22 month old...however. He is not perfect. If he were perfect, he would occasionally--at least once--in the course of our marriage--PUT HIS CLEAN CLOTHES IN THE DRAWER!
The laundry is mine to do, and I do it gladly for all five people in the family, including cloth diapers, and I dry them and fold them and put them away in four people's dressers...but my husband's chest of drawers is too full of who knows what tee shirts and sweatpants to cram anything into--so I leave it for him. And his solution is to keep laundry baskets half-full of clean items around to be tripped over, and he gets dressed out of them each day. Dirty clothes then go on the floor. SO THE CLOTHES ARE NEVER PUT AWAY.
Oh my it feels good to vent. Every time I'm tempted to go into a self-righteous tirade to him directly, I remember the thousand ways I am the slovenly, careless one. So I guess we're both going to hell. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)

ZeV - I'm sorry, but ![[Killing me]](graemlins/killingme.gif)
not for the content, of course.
*hee hee... snort*
I first would like to join in righteous indignation with the rest here, you all have much the same issues as me, so I wont go into the TP issue or the fact that it is common lately to find pee all over the bathroom!
my issue is similar to Foxy's. it's about socks. and, I'm sorry, fellas - it's about the male of the species. why oh why dear God?!?!??!
we are a shoe-free household, as is custom up here. the three males in my home seem to have some sort of congenital hot-foot problem, and they shed their socks also, usually within 15 minutes of coming indoors. but while they are trained to shed the shoes by the door in the kunnichuq, they then walk into the living room, kitchen, in front of the fire, etc, and peel off these revolting, smelly, foot holsters from hell.
And leave them there.
so I come along (or my daughter, when she is here) and find little piles of socks all over the place. what really blows my mind (and I have kept data, people) is that after a day with 3 gentlemen (six feet) I can find as much as 9 socks on the floor.
9. not only is it more than six, but it's not even an even number! who wore a sock on one foot only????
the size of these socks vary from the tiny 5-year-old's wee stinky feet, to the Daddy's large Tubes of Terror.
We have, however, cured the adult one. about a year ago, daughter got disgusted and fed up, and devised a plan. whenever his socks were found in little piles (under the dinner table! on the kitchen counter!!!) we put the socks on his computer keyboard.
he ranted the first few times and called us disgusting. (yes... that's right... be disgusted...) and then miraculously, we no longer ever find Papa Bear Sock Piles.
however, we have yet to find the cure for the the two men-in-training.
they seem incapable of disgust.
(if my lurking husband reads this, no, none of the shipmates want to hear about the giant halibut head I kept in the freezer for a year, or the squirrel skeleton I'm assembling, or any of that. shush.)

Its not just teenage boys of course - teenage girls are just as bad: they seem to have failed to work out how the dishwasher door works, and therefore are unable to load or unload anything.
But the thing that really bugs me? DVD dominoes: this involves watching a dvd then not taking it out of the machine when you have finished. Next time, you take a new dvd out of its case and put the old one back in the wrong case. Same with the time after that, and the time after that. Finally mum (that's me) comes along to watch something and opens the dvd machine with a dvd in hand. Oh, there is already one in here. Hmm, here's the case, I'll just put it away - but no, there is another dvd in there. Okay, I'll find that case - but no, there is something else already in that one. Finally I have been through about 6 or 7 cases, rearranging all the dvds into their proper cases and I have forgotten where I put the one I actually wanted to watch.
Does anyone else have this problem?

What's wrong with them, anyway? Can't they shoot straight? Do they not grasp that it's unhygienic, let alone unesthetic? Have they not figured out that toilet paper works on both ends? Can't they clean up after themselves? Even cats know how to do THAT.
indeed. It's disgusting.

What was that thread about people fearing missing on the joys of family life?
Living alone, free from all these sins, all I can say is: "Ha!" ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) .
Zappa, your problems are these:
(1) you hang the toilet paper the wrong way around. It looks wierd flapping there over the top; keep it happy and controlled against the wall like God intended.
(2) you eat disgusting half-cooked eggs. Eeeeeeew. Have a nice fully-boiled egg and then it won't matter which end is up. Or down.
(3) OK, you might have a point there. Just maybe. Clothespins are OK to be left on the line provided they are arranged in neat geometrical patterns, and not simply left up as a supposed time-saving ploy. I mean, it's only time-saving if the next things you hang up are exactly the same widths in exactly the same order as the previous ones, right?

Oh sure, go ahead and encourage people to unravel the toilet paper in search of the other end. And this will solve the problem how? .

What's on your unforgiveable sin list?
Messing up the broad sheet Sydney Morning Herald so it's all over the place and untidy. Then I have to spend time straightening it before I can get to reading.
The total inability to put anything dirty into the dishwasher. It all is left on the bench above the dishwasher until I give in and do it. Pleasant requests, comments, threats, sarcasm all have no effect whatsoever. I was once away at a conference for several days and returned to find all plates, cutlery, pans etc used in that time balanced in a precarious pile on the bench. Still dirty.
Just once in a while, someone other than myself empties the clean dishwasher. New kitchen was installed just a very short time ago- only five years now, so I must forgive him for the pile of clean things for which he does not have an address. ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif)

Members of my household seemed to have learned the art of turning on things as in lights, radio, music what have you but do not seem to know you also can also then turn them off when you leave a room.
Same members of household also take toast from toaster, lay in on the counter, not the bread board, spread on the peanut butter, walk off leaving behind toast crumbs and knife sticky with spread on the counter.

To me, the proof that it's God's will for the toilet paper go away from the wall is this: back when printed TP was in fashion, the print was always on that side.
I arrange my top sheets on the same "top side up" principle. I have a friend who believes in placing them the other way so that the print (if there is one) shows when you fold the top of sheet down over the blanket. It seems so fussy and wrong to me that when I stay at her house I'm always tempted to correct it and then put it back her way (i.e., the wrong way) in the morning.

exactly! it's so.... *shivver*
In winter I can wear the same socks for days and you can't much tell.* but these guys, it's like ten minutes and the socks are walking off into the corner by themselves to have a sulk.
*prolly shouldn't have admitted to that.

So glad it's not just me getting irritated by these little things! My husband doesn't appear to realise that rubbish is supposed to be put in the bin. Especially plastic cider bottles. These are currently lined up in a neat row next to our kitchen counter. Every time I ask him to put them in the bin (crushed, of course), I get this fascinating reply 'But they take up room in the bin!'.
Other unforgiveable sins:
People who put the lights on at work when it is blazing sunshine outside and you can see perfectly well without them on.
People who claim that you're taking all of the duvet, when clearly it's their fault for sleeping on their side and creating a huge draught.

In an old flat a female flat-mate and I did a compromise by putting both toilet seats down after use. It was good as both of us had to move seats each time we wanted to piss, not just me. Plus bog roll and other stuff wouldn't fall into the bog. In my present flat, however, the girls won't do this, so I leave the seat up.
People expecting attention from me when Liverpool are playing.
People who walk in front of the TV screen when something interesting is happening in a game (an attack, free kick outside the box, penalty ).
People who leave long trails of bog roll after they have used it (well I say people but I mean women, as I have never seen a man do this).
People who smoke in my vicinity.
