Little Things You Hate

It is when you put the washing machine on, then either forget you have a load in there or go to bed with a load running, then don't unload it in the morning.

So the clothes, instead of smelling 'cuddly', smell like a wet dog... so it gets another run. I reckon this probably happens 50% of the time.

Not my problem now, shes got the paaaaah bill, she had a Spring bill only a month ago which was pretty good but our aircon is 24kw of heating/cooling, that fucker draws 5.5kW of power per hour when running, welcome to my world :p
We use this, I've got it running a light hooked into a Raspberri pi that lights up our study in case your in a meeting and forget, aiming to put it in the shed when we move in case my partner is away and I get left with the washing.
Also pings your phone if you have that on you aswell, can also kick start cycles from work etc, use solar at best time of day.....

Have you ever forgotten that you washed a load of laundry and had to re-wash it? Instead of wasting water, laundry products, time, and energy, let your washer tell you when the cycle is finished! Many Samsung washing machines have Wi-Fi connectivity so you can connect them to the SmartThings app on your phone and use the app to receive notifications (like if an error occurs) and manage your washer.

Same thing happened in my place 3 weeks ago, luckily there was a rubber Flexi joint down at ground level.
The shit that came out of there smelled like spew. Fucking spaghetti, her hair... You name it, if it's went down the sink hole, it was coming out rancid.

I pulled a massive tube of shit out then couldn't get to the 'T' piece, so had to put a hose down and flush it, after about 5 mins of floating stinking food pieces off the top of the blockage and out into the hole I had dug, it disappeared and the water level flushed away.

I told her next time she's paying for a plumber.

Which works in my house as we have our own money, I just pay all the bills and mortgages.
She buys the food and recently... Pays the lekky bill for our main home :p and that negotiation came out of her being the biggest waster of electricity ever. Baths full to the brim, fills the kettle to 2.5L for 1 cup and boils it 3 times, runs washing machine twice per load, turns aircon on with doors and windows open etc... This will be her first summer power bill coming up :eek: hahaha.
I'm fearing for that, but I don't have a flexi joint making it more of a challenge. I took the Y bends off and they were clear. Putting literally half a kilo of draino down there in. It doesn't seem to take long before the pipe is full so I'm hoping it isn't too far down...

That sounds like my wife and yours have a similar mindset. I intentionally didn't put a drier into our house and put stuff where it should go otherwise the drier would be used all the time instead of hanging stuff on the line.

I was being polite, there is an element of cant be farked in there. "Cant be farked hanging stuff out in the morning, I'll just run a quick 30 and put them out later"

Big difference now she's got the bill :cool:

Its a big game in my house, and always has been. She driving a Prado, needs to go shopping, streamlines her trips as she whines about Diesel price, gets an EV... its free, charges from home for zilch. Takes an additional community job with NDIS, drives all over the city doing stupid shit, charges for free on me.

Same as eating out, dads shout (like 90% of the time), Scotch fillets all round, starters, desert menu etc...

Mum paying, chip 'n' gravy to share :p

May be solidified grease, run a shit load of hot water down there. If you drop caustic granules in there, definitely hot water with them.

TLDR: MTB store kid that rides a little off-road brapcycle, explaining to me what protective gear I should and shouldn't wear for my road litrebike.
"mate, if i hit a guard rail post at 100k's a knee brace won't stop my leg coming off, and that will be the least of my worries.... and 100k's is still in first gear....."
(no, I'm not a squid.. ;) )

if kids these days had been allowed to lose skin after crashing their skateboard/bmx on the biggest hill in the neighbourhood when they were 6....
maybe they'd wear gear?? each to their own, some squids never go down and plenty of suits ride mopeds..

LTIH...
Retail staff trying to "educate" you on topics you understand well, and they obviously don't....

Oh I fucking hate that. Also retail staff who can't be arsed...and retail staff that want to be snobbish.


I was in the expensive part of the David Jones men's wear department yesterday looking for a dinner blazer or smoking jacket in velvet, burgundy preferred. Not a single person offered to help me! There was ample staff standing around gossiping and avoiding eye contact with people, quite the opposite of my Dan Murphy's treatments. Eventually I got someone's attention and even though we were standing within 4 metres of 3 mannequins each wearing a different colour of said evening wear I was told they don't have any of that sort of thing. The shop assistant then thought I needed to be reminded that I was in the "luxury brand" part of David Jones...I pointed out I knew that, I had ridden 40000 escalators deliberately seeking out that part of the store. David would be so disappointed.


i did check the mannequins and their jackets were too small and slim fit. My quest continues.

I've ran heaps of hot water and draino down there. I've also done some bicarb and vinegar. I think running one of those coils down there is next.

I got a semi retired plumber bloke, he runs the snake down for $100 cash.

Moved to my house in the hills, SA water says never call a plumber, call us, we'll call the job from the inspection point to the street, even if it's on your property... Keeps us in a job !
