Excelsior! Academy Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I'll go first. They discontinued Lipstick Queen's Frog Prince.

HomeAgain Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Barn doors as bedroom/bathroom contraptions. Nobody wants that. It's ridiculous. The person who came up with the idea should be forced to live in a house where they have to continually try to keep the bathroom door shut as a 2yo delightedly slides it open. I'm so glad we've stopped moving and will never have to have that in our own home, but I will be ranking friends based on if I want to visit their houses. 9 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad we've stopped moving and will never have to have that in our own home, but I will be ranking friends based on if I want to visit their houses. I am very seriously considering a barn door for a bedroom in our basement. It currently has double doors on it, and A LOT of floor real estate is "lost" to the swing clearance for the doors, with a second doorway within that leads to a storage room, plus the closet doorway. It limits the room so much. So, not a bathroom, but I DO want a sliding/barn rail style door. In that same vein, something that bothers me: pocket doors. Those things should be outlawed. To fix or replace, you have to open the dang wall! I'm forever having to pop them back onto their tracks at my mom's house.

The pocket doors were great when the house (my parents') was new, but 40 years later, the house has shifted and settled and the latches do not line up to the locks anymore, so they use a hook-and-eye latch to lock it anyway. 🤷🏻♀️ Edited July 21, 2022 by fraidycat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teachermom2834 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 My neighbors across the street have “no trespassing” signs all over their yard. It’s a neighborhood of houses close together not sprawling properties. I wasn’t planning to trespass on their property but those dang signs sure get under my skin. It’s just very out of character for my neighborhood. Not because I planned to go have a picnic on her yard but because if her package got misdelivered to her house I would walk it over and put it on her porch. One time before she put those signs up I heard a loud gushing noise and looked outside and her hose had busted a hole and water was spraying out of it. They weren’t home and I walked over and turned the water off for her. But I guess I was trespassing. It just seems so aggressive for no reason. It’s not as if a “no trespassing” sign is going to deter a criminal, right? I hate those signs. One neighbor asked her what was up and she said someone was stealing her plants. That explanation bugged the snot out of me. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawz4me Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Opening/closing appliance doors more than necessary. If I'm cleaning up after a meal I get all the dirty dishes in the sink and then open the dishwasher, load it, and then close it. I put all the food that needs to be refrigerated on the counter beside the fridge, open the door, put them all in and then close the door. Even when I don't do literally everything at one time I at least group things. When I'm making a salad or a sandwich I get everything out of the fridge, make the salad or sandwich and then put everything back in the fridge that needs to be in there. Some people in my family who will not be named specifically are not this efficient. They open close open close open close open close . . . you get the idea. I can't say their method is actually wrong, but it strikes me as hugely inefficient, and it irritates me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenaj Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 People who will not move their cars over one inch when passing someone walking on our country road. No sidewalks and very little traffic so most will swing out into the other lane to give me room on my morning walks but almost every morning there are the two same cars, driving at a higher speed than everyone else who do not move over at all so I end up needing to step into the ditch. It's just so unnecessary! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
