[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you react to a Spouse that constantly uses the phrase above anytime you ask them to do simple courteous things like:

- turn off the lights when they leave a room —
- close the doors during the middle of summer
- hang wet towels instead of throwing them on the bed
- not leave the kitchen sink just running while they fill the dishwasher
- refill the Brita when they empty it
- empty the trash when its full instead of smashing more in until the bag breaks
- leaves used dental floss in the shower
- doesn't replace TP when emptied

And a gazillion other examples of generally being an extremely selfish housemate.[/quote]

depends on how tight finances are, but this are weird to me:

turn off the lights when they leave a room —
- close the doors during the middle of summer
- not leave the kitchen sink just running while they fill the dishwasher

Things that should be adjusted:
Wet towels —&gt; only if the beddding gets wet, otherwise who cares
TP/floss -&gt; yep
Trash —&gt; try setting the trash bags right next to the can and see if a visual cue helps. One stuff is fine, bag break is not
Brita—&gt; have spouse buy one that screws on to the sink. Takes the problem away.

Agree with this. This was a mishmash of stuff OP should have let go of long ago and actual rudeness. [/quote]

Nope. Brita on faucet never gets the water cold. Wet towel on bed is disgusting. Who wants wet sheets? Don't even get me started on the floss. That's repulsive. Only thing worse is what a coworker once told me. He was dating a girl who'd remove used tampons in the shower and just kick them into the corner for the duration of her period.[/quote]

I don’t know why you started your post with “nope.” Obviously you’re right about those things. But letting the sink run?? Who cares?![/quote]

DP, but I can tell you why its an issue for me. We are in a climate crisis. Wasting water and resources is irresponsible steward ship of the 1 planet we have. There is no where else to go. We have to stop destroying this one. And I'm raising my kids to know this so you bet we dont waste water or electricty![/quote]
