Pretty much everything that annoys me about 'im indoors is covered in the article except... It really gets my goat when he uses the cutlery as tools and the kitchen as his garage. Next time i find the knives, forks and spoons in his tool box and tubs of grease, he will have to eat his soup with a spanner. And the stock will be made from engine oil and copper grease.

Yes we do, at the dining table too. It's just that i am forever replacing cutlery. Some days i can only find one dinner knife and 2 tablespoons. And after they've been dipped in oil and undoing rusty screws or whatever i don't fancy eating from them again.
So.. the next time i do a posh meal i will lay his place at the table with his posh SNAP ON tools.
Also he keeps his car immaculate yet makes a mess in the house. Next time he drops crisp packets and empty beer cans next to the sofa. I'm gonna pick them up and dump them in his car < evil snigger>

It sounds like it is time to lay down the law about using the kitchen as a garage or hide the cutlery and anything else he uses.
If he was mine I would possibly have killed him by now with one of the greasy knives.

Reminds me of that programme on the BBC 'Grumpu Old Men' I found that I concurred with almost all the gripes on there!
My pet hate is the peeps who use the last bit of loo-paper and leave me the cardboard inner only, grrrr...
Lorna,
Time to make him a nice tin-plate and ham roll methinks.
Oh Boy!, That'll be the day.........

Text speak - even when its in a text, but when in an email or other non-text media it is lazy and intolerable. Besides, I can't understand it.
MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going into hospital again today, and I just KNOW I am going to be called dear, darling, poppet and most annoyingly of all "my lovely". It renders me incandescent with fury. Call me Di, call me Mrs Woodridge, call me "you old bag" but do not patronise me with these soubriquets that mean nothing. Anyone who knows me knows that I far from lovely! I have a spiky personality and practically one of everything missing or inoperative. DON'T CALL ME MY LOVELY.
PS I wish I knew why it annoys me so much, but it really, really, does....

Good luck with the hospital Diana.
My pet hate along those lines is the instruction 'enjoy!' when I get a meal.
WOMEN everything they do and everything they say, God the things we have given them over the best years of our lives even the right to vote and they are still not satisfied its only women than can find fault with us men and we only have two faults Everything we do and Everything we say, HAHA

1. Alan's view of women (only joking!)
2. Text speak - I'm with you on that one Barry W
3. People that push in front of you in the queue by sideling up behind someone else and making out they were already there.
4. Holding the door open for someone only to have 10 other people breeze past without out so much as a thank you.
5. People that start a sentence with "Sorry to interrupt your lunch" No you're not; if it isn't a dire emergency it can wait until I have finished.

Please hold, your call is important to us. Crap, if it was important to them they would have humans answering the phone.
