10 Tiny Things That Really Annoy Tidy People

1 Small things like dirty dishes being left in the sink, rather than just beside the sink, make you murderous.

Or you know, being washed up straight away.^[1]

2 Toothpaste being treated like this.

Poor toothpaste, trapped behind its dried dead remains.^[2]

3 When crumbs somehow get in the butter.

Mmm someone else’s old toast dust all over my new toast, just what I always wanted. NOT.^[3]

4 When people don’t take the 34 seconds to take the old empty toilet roll off the toilet roll holder, and put a new one on.

No one’s time is this precious.^[4]

5 Or the 23 seconds it takes to put a new bin bag in the bin.

6 Empty containers being mysteriously left in the fridge.

Why? No seriously. Why?^[6]

7 When people think that the place for egg shells is back in the egg box, with all the nice unopened eggs.

The place is the bin.^[7]

8 Teabags being left to rot in the sink.

The idea that you need to drain them before putting them in the bin is wrong. The bin is a big boy, it can take the 5 little drips that come out of a wet tea bag.^[8]

9 When people stack the dishwasher inefficiently.

Or when they cram too much in and nothing gets clean.^[9]

10 When kitchen cupboards don’t have a system.

Is that the right place for that mug? Does anyone think that’s the right place for that mug???^[10]
