Maybe I'm just an irritable person, but...

It REALLY grinds my gears when DH and my sis squeeze the toothpaste tube from the top/middle. SQUEEZE FROM THE BOTTOM PEOPLE! I know this is more of a Bitch Fest Monday post, but it's Tuesday and I just went into the bathroom and saw it. Not only do they both do that, but they also take the toothpaste into the shower almost everyday to brush in there. So I inevitably have to grab a soaking wet toothpaste tube and fix all of the twisting and squeezing done improperly in order to brush my teeth.
Maybe I should get a new tube for myself and keep it hidden lol.
DH says I need to let the little things go, but how hard is it to do these thing? Like to squeeze from the bottom, close doors so my dog doesn't hide in a room and poop (probably the hardest dog to fully potty train on this planet), throw empty boxes away from the pantry... I feel like I live in a barn.
But I think I'll have to end up just getting over it. They don't seem too interested in learning these simple tasks.
I love my life, I love my life, I love my life... :-S

    I know. I think it makes me even more irritable since I've been home from work for 3 months and see these things all day. Definitely not the end of the world... Just makes me stabby!
  • We also have separate tubes of toothpaste :-)  What I can't figure out is why DH can't ever put a new roll of tp on the holder?...  Maybe we should just have separate bathrooms!

    @TX08Aggie‌ once we move south later this year and have 2 bathrooms, I will probably end up just using a different bathroom altogether. Sounds like a great idea!
  • They also make fancy (cheap) contraptions to put on the end of the tube to squeeze from the bottom. Might be a possible solution? Or go with separate tubes.
  • Me and my husband use different tubes because he squeezes in the middle and I hate it!!!
    When I was pregnant I had a freak out on him because he kept using MY tube... not my proudest moment

    We have lived together for 4 years, but he was not like this in the beginning. I think he gets worse every year when it comes to these little things lol. I will find a way to deal!
    Thanks ladies. At least I know I'm not alone in my annoyances!
    I'm sure I do many things that irritate him, but he is much better at letting things be. I'm sure I'll get there one day!
  • I'm the one who squeezes at the top, lol

  • Lol. Well I am the only female in the house so I get complaints for always leaving the toilet seat DOWN. Not really toothpaste related, but located in the same room. 
  • Separate tubes save marriages.
