there is no interim period tho? i’m on the other side of this - will kind of tidy bits away as i go, but once the food is ready - that’s it, it’s all getting left in a big mess

OTHERWISE THE FOOD GETS COLD

Exactly, and with good quality, expensive pans the last thing I want to do is start having to scrape around to get the grime offonce it’s dried.

The most annoying thing is when you point things out, and it keeps happening anyway. There’s no way not to sound like a bit of a dick when telling people this so it’s frustrating to repeat yourself when there’s minimal-effort things people can do to avoid it, that they’ve already been told about!

General mess and tidiness being the main offender. E.g. Why do people put dirty mugs/plates next to the dishwasher, but NOT inside the dishwasher?

He will if you leave him to it, but you can’t can you? No. You’ll either nag him about it or mention it in a pass-agg way and then he won’t want to anymore.

When cooking, he rarely puts stuff like potato peel / the inners of peppers / skins of garlic+ onion / other veg stuff in the bin. He’ll leave it on the side for me (the washer-upper if he cooks) to throw away. Drives me insane tbh.

Nah man, it takes literally a minute to clean the pan, the food isn’t going cold that quickly unless you’ve got all your windows open in January or something.

Totes! There’s loads of time when you’re cooking to clean stuff up. It really doesn’t need your full attention for most of it.

TV used to set the alarm an hour before having to get up and would just hit snooze every 7 minutes. MADNESS.

I never, ever nag. NEVER. The reason I do 95% of the domestic chores is because I’d rather just do them than have to nag.

Why should other people live in your mess in the meantime?*

She may as well just start jumping on the bed and pouring pints of water over my face. It is the same thing.

I bet you regularly mention how you do ALL THE CHORES though.
