I have to get in on this thread about my better half...
Somehow my spare bedroom became a Vegas showgirl dressing room...really now, a 10x12 room all for her clothes
and as I "won't say a word" to her about the room, all I've heard since she moved in (3.5 yrs now) is...this week I'm going to get it organized (having one's affairs in order so as to deal with them efficiently).
Then will ask why I'm laughing...

A friend of mine, who goes to the Naval Academy has a house he and his girlfriend bought and she has a "dressing and makeup room."

"David, you have to be ****ing kidding me."
CorvusCamenarum said:1. I do all the cooking, and it's not for lack of effort on her part.
2. I love my GF to death, but she has absolutely no concept of household order and putting things where they go.
3. She refuses to clean out her car. Why, I don't know.
4. We have a King sized bed, yet somehow between the time we go to bed and the time I wake up, I manage to end up with only the 6 inches or so closest to the edge, with her sprawled out over me.
I still love her though
Replace "King sized bed" with "Queen Sized bed" and I say that's my wife too.
Oh and the hair thing too. She has really thick hair, and I guess that's just how those things are. My wife does laundry completely different than I have when I was single. We have baskets (supposed to be for clean clothes) and hampers (for dirty clothes); none of them are used for what they're supposed to be for and all the laundry stays in the laundry room anyway.
My wife is also ADHD, which means she has a hard time focusing on her task. It also means that as time goes by, the size of the task increases (ie: dishes and laundry). So she freaks out when there's a lot to do; it takes me 10-15 minutes to calm her down enough so that we can do anything and eventually, we end up working together on a task to complete it.
In spite of all that, she's my everything and I love her to death. In case she ever reads the thread.

Last thing he said to me before he left for work:
"And you are not to do a shred of work before you take a shower."
Dead serious.
(I showered around two o'clock after writing three articles in my PJ's.)
Yeah it's crazy...my art room is 6x9 in the basement (which I don't mind, neither does my dog
) but really I only had 10...yes 10 boxes of stuff on a nice 5 wire rack unit before she moved in. Since then it's a fashion show level one and someday others will be let loose from the (I'm not kidding on the #) 38 other boxes (5 more racks) in the basement.

I just fell on the floor.

My wife does the same thing. Is there some sort of class in middle school where they teach women this?
"Now remember girls, always get the hair right in the middle of the wall, it's very important. It's done out of love."
My wife is an incredible chef but for some reason makes the coffee maker explode whenever she uses it. It's really not that hard.

Ooh, that's a good one. I don't drink milk (in coffee or otherwise) so unless I'm making my amazing lasagne
I pretty much ignore the milk in the fridge. So, on occasion , I'll make Liam a cup of tea. I do all the stuff with the tea, open the fridge, and there's 3 cartons of identical milk, all at different levels. One will have an inch left in it, one will be half full, and one will be full, but open. Bear in mind, milk revolts me completely, even when fresh, so the 'smell test' is unusable in this case for fear of throwing up in my mouth a little. "Liam, which milk should I use in your tea?"
"The half full one"
"Why?"
"The nearly empty one's gone off"
"Any reason we're keeping that one then?"
"No"
<Lau throws out cheese-milk, throwing up a little>
Brings tea in. "So why are two milks open?" <knowing this scenario will be repeated in 4 days time> "The full one is for cereal, because it's fresh, and the half full one is for tea, cause it's nearly off".

Do people do this intending to throw it away after the shower, and then forget? Sometimes, I pick my hair out of the drain when I notice it, and then put it on the rim of the tub, and I'm afraid I'll forget it.
So I put it on the side where I get out so I have to step over it. 
iGary said:LOL!!
I usually wake up almost on the floor.
yep, that one applies to me too. But she knows she does it.

I'm yet to meet a girl who doesn't do this, it's ridiculous. How can they get a 165cm frame to so convincingly take up a good five square metres.
My current girlfriend won't use OSX either. She used Macs back at school with OS7-era machines and their Sheer Crappiness has converted to Windows, seemingly for life.
When I first moved out with my two roommates (both male) I seriously wanted to kill them and blow up something. The littlest things pissed me off so much. However, now I've gotten used to it and the idea of being the "Dad" around the house isn't so bad after awhile (heck, it'll be good training for parenthood)
But they still don't always flush the toilet when they're done - wtf who leaves their crap (yes literally) for others to see and clean up after??

My gf snores, at times, like you wouldn't believe. Who would imagine a petite 5 foot woman could make so much noise.
Another one whose hair clogs the shower drain. Is it so hard to remove it?
Spends most nights here so she stops by her place to pick up her mail everyday. The entire passenger side is full of her junk mail from like the past 2 years. And she wonders why I won't let her drive anywhere.
