Re: Roast Idiot
Omg. You are so right and I entirely understand and agree with everything you said. I am sick of managing other people's time

Re: Roast Idiot
Yep. I am the manager here too, and it's wearying. J dashed out earlier to pick up A, shouting "why didn't anyone tell me the time????"' There was only me and him here, and I was working upstairs.Cosmopolitan wrote: ↑Tue Jun 09, 2020 3:30 pm Omg. You are so right and I entirely understand and agree with everything you said.

Anyway, I'm also going to kill him because I caught him earlier cleaning the kitchen worktops, then opening the dishwasher and sweeping the crumbs from the worktop in there. WTAF? The bin is right beside the dishwasher.

Re: Roast Idiot
It INFURIATES me when mine is in the shower when people arrive (by virtue of us living here, 95% of the time it's either his family, his friends, or mutual friends), leaving me to do the welcoming, taking coats, providing of drinks etc. etc. whilst also being responsible for managing and producing 90% of the food. He's got better recently (obvs. pre-COVID) though.
Once, years ago he decided he HAD to drive to the supermarket before his family arrived, meaning he didn't get back until at least 10 minutes after they arrived. We were out of sugar cubes, but still had white and brown sugar in.

Re: Roast Idiot
Organising what needs to be done is left to me but mine is like a screeching town fucking crier ‘People will be here in 6 hours! Have you started the cook the food that takes an hour to make yet?! There’s 5 hours to go shall we start the salad?’
I’m possibly being a bit irrational about this but Mr O is getting right on my tits.
I started doing PE with Joe Wicks with the boys most mornings as a way to get them moving and he decided it looked good and joined in. He uses weights alongside so was quite impressed that it’s actually a decent workout.
The rest of us are now a bit bored of doing JW PE every morning so are mixing things up a bit and doing it 2/3 times a week.
He, however, is still doing PE with Joe. :woteva: There are LOADS of actual adult exercises on YouTube he can follow instead yet he still twats about doing spidey lunges or jumping up and down like a frog.
He gets really defensive when I point it out to him as well so he tries to make the rest of us do it with him. I know he doesn’t cope well with change but this is ridiculous!

Re: Roast Idiot
PG I really hate it too. If I’m expecting guests by myself, fine, but if we’re both here then there are usually more people coming, more small talk, more drinks to pour and flowers to receive and coats to take etc etc and I hate doing it by myself when I’m not expecting to. And yes, C also spontaneously suggests he go to the shop 5 minutes before people are due to arrive.
The other thing that drives me mad is that when I do reluctantly take on the role of manager when something is important to me and add the simpleton’s guide to stuff, like eg above I might on another day have said “It’s 1 pm already and remember we told them to arrive between 2 and 3”, he has the audacity to roll his eyes at me and tell me he knows that and he’s not an idiot If he was at least gracious enough to accept the help I might actually take on the role full time, but I’m not doing it AND getting no thanks.

I love it so much.
I’m not feeling very well today, so of course guess who’s now “coming down with” something.

Re: Roast Idiot
Olive, that has made me laugh so much. Spidey lunges.
Leap, I know exactly how all of that feels. Mr Is is slightly better then he used to be but will always prioritise stupid jobs over actual important things and then gets loads of credit 'isn't the garden lovely' etc where as me slaving over the housework gets ignored.
Ella, kill him dead. He'll feel better then.

Don’t cook all year, but there they are, standing over the barbecue that one time, receiving the compliments.
He’s well enough to drink wine .

Re: Roast Idiot
I've never even seen a JW workout but I think I can imagine what a spidey lunge must look like. Dearie me
I've only seen him talking about Wensleydale cheese has anyone else seen that/ heard him say it?
Hope you feel better soon, Ella. It's not your meningitis flaring up again, is it?

Re: Roast Idiot
I just listened to this!
I know! I finally shame nagged him into doing the adult version. He’s adamant it wasn’t that different to PE despite being red in the face and unable to breathe at the end. :woteva:
