Is It Me??

Sometimes I wonder, is it just me? Two examples from today:

1 I get in the car this morning to take the kids to school. Start the engine up, radio comes on. Some strange and very naff radio station. No problem, thinks I, Colin has been using my car this weekend to drive young Master Eeefer around. Problem reveals itself ... Colin has changed my radio station preset from my favourite radio station to this unheard of pile of crap.

Now, is it me? Colin knows better than anyone else that the thing I hate most of all is the thought, knowledge or implication that someone (ANYONE) has been messing with my stuff. It's just not done. It isn't allowed under any circumstances whatsoever. It is a misdemeanour punishable by ... well, punishable by extreme amounts of whinging, bitching and nagging and whatever else I can think of.

So, he's not only fiddled with the radio, he's changed my bloody presets! It took me 20 minutes to find my favourite station again, but I have no idea how to reset the preset and that is even more annoying ...

Does he not think? Did he not know I would completely blow my stack this morning and ring him up on his mobile to scream abuse at him??

2 I get home from work and go and put a load of washing on. So, after it's done I'd gone upstairs to do a few things and pick up an empty basket to put the washing in so that I could sort it for what can go in the dryer etc, and I'm just heading back downstairs when Colin (who was heading for an early night) says 'oh, I took your washing out of the machine and put it in the dryer'. Fine, that's good, thanks. Then he proceeds to tell me that he's put his work shirt in the wash. What?? There's a big pile of dirty washing in front of the washing machine waiting to go in when the clean load comes out ... but he's just put in a shirt and that's it?????

So I come downstairs and manage to cancel the already started wash load. While I'm waiting for the door lock to cancel so that I can put more stuff in, I pull the clean load out of the dryer, cos I know there's a couple of things in there that can't be tumble dried. Hang on ... how come there's only one pair of jeans here? I had two pairs in the wash. CLICK. Oh great, the door to the washing machine has unlocked itself. I open the door ... to find Col's work shirt ... and my clean jeans, now covered in soapy water ...

Is it just me? Really? Is it? Is it too much to expect that if someone takes the clean washing out of the machine that they will take ALL of it out before they put another load of washing in? He claims he didn't see it. Yes, of course that can happen. A huge great pair of jeans, they don't take up any room in the machine at all ...

I despair.

What a total and utter waste of washing powder, water and electricity.

Is it me? Is it?
