Fun With Hubby

[trystinn]

When I go to turn something off, I first turn it down all the way, then off.

I do this for car stereos, so you don't get your ears blasted out when you turn on the radio. And I do this for the portable heater I'm dragging around the house with me like a security blanket. I even do this for dimmer lights and even the odd ceiling fan whose electricity is controlled by a light switch. And yes, I've been known to turn the TV off at the source, since the remote only puts it in Stand By mode. And that's after turning down the volume, since you have to stand next to the speakers to turn it on manually because the remote can't turn the tv on unless it's in standby.

This drives Josh nuts.

See, when he turns something on he wants to know it's working now. He doesn't have time to turn the volume or intensity up, he wants immediate access.

And while I don't do all this on purpose to annoy him, I'm rather delighted that it does. *WEG*

We must never, ever be roommates. *I* would be in the garage with Josh right now, plotting your demise. :-)

Oh yeah? What's your stance on toilet rolls - over the top or from the bottom?

[onyxtwilight.livejournal.com]

Over the top, of course. There IS no other way. (I know not of this "from the bottom" of which you speak.) Same for paper towels, if they hang horizontally. (I actually prefer vertical paper towel stands.)

Don't even get me started about the toilet seat. If you're too tired to look at the damned seat before you sit down, just wear Depends to bed or something. >;-P

I do the same thing as you!! For the music, I actually fade it down slowly like it would at the end of a song. haha.

Toilet paper: over the top. Period. My spouse has a different opinion.

Beagles: my favorite breed, not high on my spouse's list.

I just smile...

What a week, Monday it snowed in mukilteo, I got stuck then turned around and went back home, so as punishmnet I had to work the day i was supposed to be off.
I will have some time off next week I am off thursday if you are up for a visit.

I completely agree, only the worst sort of trailer trash doesn't know toilet paper must go over the top. Then folded in a neat little triangle for guests.

For toilet seats - the lid must be down. Who the hell wants to be looking at *that* all day? Besides, do you know where your face is when you flush without putting the toilet seat down? Right in the way of aerated coliform bacteria!

Thursday would be lovely, sorry to hear about the snow commute problems! You absolutely have to meet Dozer!
