This has been irritating me for years but is so much part of the fabric of my life that it has only just occurred to me to have a rant about it. I think Mrs Nick's presence at home at the moment has moved it higher up my Angry9: scale.
Here is how it works.
The Boy appears and says something like "I haven't got any socks on". This translates as "Go and find me some socks" but I just say "Very interesting, I expect your feet will get cold".
Mrs Nick offers me information all the time. For example, she has just informed me that "There is a mound of dog shit in the driveway." This means "Go and remove it, " but she hasn't actually said this, so I can legitimately say, "Really, I wonder how that got there" and then wander off.
I also get told things like, "There is a big cobweb in the bathroom" ("WOw") or "The radiator in the dining room is leaking" ("Oh dear").
Does anyone else find this oblique method of communication UTTERLY INFURIATING cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing:
-
YES!

Indeed it does. "The daughter" has lost her front door key = "Go and but new locks and fit them". Again. cussing:

Yup, glad it's not just me. I have just been told "We have run out of coffee." Fascinating
BUGGER OFF TO THE SHOP AND BUY SOME THEN MRS NICK
