No, not the Erasure song. What's the one thing about your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend/significant other, that really drives you up the wall, that really makes you livid to the point where you'd actually say "I am fucking livid!"?For me it's The Demon's habit of obsessive tidiness. I don't just mean that she like to do a bit of household cleaning, oh no, if only, no she tidies things constantly. I can't lay something down for 5 minutes bar it's 'tidied'. If I kick my trainers off, as I like to do when lying on the couch, she looks at me like I've taken a shit on the carpet!
. . . but that is only half the problem.
When something is 'tidied' by The Demon, it has maybe a 70% chance of ever being found again. This happens regularly.
"Where's my (insert random object here)?"
"Erm . . . I put it somewhere."
"Where?"
"Somewhere safe."
"At the risk of repeating myself, where?"
"Erm . . . don't know, I'm watching Home & Away right now, I'll find it later."
. . . of course she never does.
This drives me fucking insane. TV remotes, bits for cameras, money, tickets, you name it, they've all found there way into her tidiness netherworld, never to return.

I look forward to finding out that I'm not alone.
