unsinkable Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 :001_huh: It's easy. Always assume the car is locked and take the keys with you when you go out to it. Even easier: Don't leave stuff in the car. Bring your coats, books, drinks, electronics, sporting equipment, etc. in the house when you walk in. Then you won't have to drive me to distraction by asking me, "Is the car unlocked?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristinaBreece Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Oh, dear...NY, MI, TX and CA... I think we have an epidemic! :lol: Add OH to the list. Our insurance doesn't cover a break-in to our car if the doors aren't locked. Therefore, the door is locked every time I exit the vehicle. DH always locks it, too... but always asks if it is really locked before he goes outside to get something. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccad777 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 That is very annoying! I hate when my kids and DH ask me where their shoes are. Do I provide you with a place in which to store your shoes? Did you put them there? No? Then why would you think I know where YOU put your shoes? GRRRR!:banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 wow....I NEVER lock my vehicles in the driveway. being 600 ft from the road in a very low crime area with a HUGE dog does have its advantages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in my car but garbage--and the anti-theft alarm works. I found this out recently when I locked it in a parking lot--with a teen & two younger kids inside, and one of them opened the door. They were mortally embarrassed. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virg Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 May I tell you the question that annoys me? Every day I get asked multiple times: "What should I do on pg 37 (ch 3, question 2, etc)?" I did not memorize your worksheets or comprehension questions in order. If you need help ask for me to come over and help you or come to me! I do not know why it irritates me so much, but it really does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dh habitually locks his truck in the driveway, cause he leaves the cave everyday, so we usually have to run back in for keys when we need something from the ttruck.

Oh, they didn't lock themselves out of the car, they set off the alarm when they opened the door from the inside after I had locked them in it. (One of them is a teen.) I'm not sure why they opened the door, but now I know the alarm works. I guess it's handy if your kids try to escape! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosaicmind Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 My most non-favorite question is, "what time is it?" UMMMMM.......duh!!! Look at the clock. Apparently I must have a clock glued to the inside of my eyelids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoughCollie Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Our cars have keypads, and since I cannot remember the codes, I am the one who asks if the car is unlocked.

The question that annoys me: Are the dishes in the dishwasher clean? I bought a magnet. I flip it to clean when I turn the dishwasher on and back to dirty once I've emptied it. I've found it most effective to empty the dishwasher as soon as the dry cycle is done, though. Otherwise I end up with a sink of dirty dishes before I manage to unload/begin reloading the dishwasher.

I bought a magnet a few years ago, and it didn't stick to our former dw. I have 4 teenagers -- they unload the dw. I, for no good reason, hate that 2 minute job.

LauraGB Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Along with the "What's for dinner?" question, I can't stand when they are standing there, staring into the fridge, and call to me, "Mom do we have any (insert any food not directly in front)?" It's a long, narrow, not so deep box, people. Look for yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 At this point, most of my kids' questions annoy me. They always ask me where their siblings are. I'm like, how on earth should I know? They're outside somewhere. But this is the one that gets me. We'll be driving from somewhere to our home and DS2 will say, "Is this the way home?" and I'm thinking, "No! I'm driving in a completely different direction. Auggggghhhhhhh!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Answering a dumb question with another dumb question annoys them right back. :D We do this quite a bit. When the question is "What are you doing?" when it's obvious what we're doing, the answer is "writing a letter to grandmother". I get very irritated by "what's for lunch?" 30 minutes after we eat breakfast and "what's for dinner?" 30 minutes after lunch. ARGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a long, narrow, not so deep box, people. Look for yourself! Mine do this. Then, right after I've spent $500 at the grocery store, they will complain that we have nothing in the house to eat. That means we have nothing that will hop out of the fridge or pantry and prepare itself. It means they will have to bestir themselves to make a sandwich or, horrors, eat or drink something that has nutritional value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball mom Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I get "is the car unlocked all the time" but when it really bugs me is at the ball field :001_huh: Hello we are at the ball park of course it is locked!!!
