She came home from work on Friday and told me a warning light had come on to do with low pressure in the rear offside tyre. I checked it and it was a lot lower than the other three tyres. Stuck it into Kwik Fit this morning ( I know but they're the only garage open on a Sunday in Falkirk) to get the tyre repaired/replaced. Somehow its my driving that must have caused cracks in all 4 tyres meaning all need replaced Should've waited for Ace Tyres on Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others might struggle but not be bad enough to have a blue badge. I'd rather they had a space closer to the shop. Isn't it more that you a regular visitor to the bottle bank and parking close to it means much less embarrassing 'chink-chink' time ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the things that solves versus not doing it while handling it they way they do, I (unfortunately) hope so! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Topping up the stove with logs and then revealing that she also just put the central heating on to heat the parts of the house she won't be in for another few hours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 There's a cluster of light switches at the top of the stairs. Left to right, - landing light, shower, bathroom fan, bathroom light. Every time she gets up in the middle of the night or the gloom to go to the bathroom, she's to manically paw at all four like she's trying to work out the combination needed to get out of an escape room but has never seen light switches before. We've lived in the house for seven and a half years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On reflection the fan is worse for the noise and then in middle night the timed run after switch off seems like days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've lived in the house for seven and a half years. To be honest, and fair, we have 2 banks of such at our front door, 3 switches on each. We've been in our house for 8 years now and none of the 3 of us are proficient in getting them all right all the time. The one we use every day is almost there but still suffers from frequent error. Also, I was just about getting there when the sparky had to change the switches and, of course, didn't reconnect in the same order. C**t. Anyway, why does she need a light on in the bathroom to have a pee (or a dump)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 She has a very annoying habit of leaving biscuit wrappers on the sofa rather than just putting them in the bin, which is about a fucking arm's length away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pth. Everyone knows small snack item wrappers put themselves in the bin. See also - empty crisp packets tied in bows or in triangles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accidentally outed myself the other night when laughing at a Jim Jefferies* stand up when he said that a male sit-down-pee treat is acceptable at two times only: 1) when pished; 2) going for a whizz during the night when you can't be arsed turning the lights on.

BTFD Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just remembered that I've got a double switch on the stairs, one of which controls the lights, the other of which does...well, who knows? I still occasionally hit the wrong one. Been meaning to investigate for about fifteen years. Hopefully it's not a The Box situation and I've been murdering a complete stranger every time I flip it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a switched outlet? For some reason here in the colonies, they have occasional fetishes for putting one of the two outlets on the same wall plate on a switch…some shite about plugging in a lamp or such. Almost always the top outlet in the most used wallplate…and, yes, I learned about this by using said outlet for an alarm clock before switching both switches off and the bloody battery kept it lit up till I was asleep…sound asleep…asleep a long time… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever remove the faceplate and discover two sets of cables, then we've officially got a mystery. There are no sockets near it, and I've never noticed any elsewhere stop working after I've tripped the dead switch by mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
