I try not to complain about my marriage because I think that’s tacky as fuck but I swear to god if I go to use the kitchen sink one more time only to find Ashley has left it on BLASTER mode, I’m going to lose my mind. Go to turn the sink on to wash a spoon or something - immediate bath. Every time. - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

You haven't figured out to look at the button before you turn it on yet?

steamboatusa.bsky.social•7 days ago

There is not a visual indicator. Like there’s a button but I don’t remember which mode is the bottom pressed or which is the top pressed. VASTLY easier to just switch it back when the water is on. VASTLY. VASTLY EASIER.

I feel this answer. I have two switches near my sink. One is the light, and the other is the garbage disposal. I can never keep straight which is which. I have lived in this house for 26 years. 🤷‍♀️

sophiethebear.bsky.social•6 days ago

I feel this. We got a shower with two heads. If it's left set to the wrong one, then I get hit with this blast of cold water when I turn it on. I found I just had to train myself to check it. Because ... peace is good.

Thank you for stating this.

rosegarden001.bsky.social•6 days ago

Oh, that's so bad, but you have to admit, it is funny.

fatlil6ringo.bsky.social•6 days ago

You haven't considered it is on purpose?
Now I'm wondering, what the fuck you did to deserve this passive-aggressiveness?

Oh man, if this isn’t the ESSENCE of a long-term happy relationship. I deeply love my husband of 22 years but when he hands me something like a remote control or cup he holds onto it for 2 seconds too long and I am filled with rage.

steamboatusa.bsky.social•7 days ago

JUST GIVE ME THE THING!!!!! 😂😂

…fyi that Moen kitchen faucets default back to Normal Mode when the water turns off. They’re like $150 at Home Depot, and Moen very much honors that lifetime warranty.

being able to just buy something that fully eliminates a small inconvenience and cause of conflict >>>>>>>>>>

anothermeansgirl1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes they do. My sprayer was stuck on spray mode and they replaced the whole apparatus no questions asked. Best customer service ever

lawyerinbeta.com•6 days ago

lol on mine in my old house, we had the opposite problem: it wouldn't HOLD spray mode. and yes, truly, best customer service experience ever. idk if they even asked for proof of purchase, they just needed model number. got a new pull-down handle part, that's all we needed.

This is the best comment.

[thumbs behind suspenders] I reckon changing the plumbing—so that that that plumb can't happen—typically falls to the person who owns the most tools in the house... :p

endmalcompetence.bsky.social•7 days ago

But seriously, it may be possible to tinker with it so that, absent constant finger or water pressure, it "defaults" to the safer saner mode.

skabob1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Aren’t valves progressive?

sabboo.bsky.social•7 days ago

You better be religious about that toilet bowl lid.

steamboatusa.bsky.social•6 days ago

I grew up with sisters. The lid is never up. I want to live.

mamuofthewest.bsky.social•6 days ago

Umm. So you have pre-warning if it’s every time?

ladyvoldemort09.bsky.social•7 days ago

My husband started doing this cute thing where he opens something in the kitchen and leaves the wrapper/pull tab on the counter, like an animal, and it is driving me out of my fucking mind. I’m about to be singing the Cell Block Tango if he doesn’t put his trash in the trash like a human.

shamalot.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wait till you forget to take the pans out of the oven.

shadesofraye.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ugh. I feel you. My husband does this with the hose nozzle. So, when I turn on the spigot I get blasted with both water and sprayed with the dirt it blasts all over me. Makes me nuts.

erikam123.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maybe check first? Usually only takes one or 2 negative consequences for learning to occur

heythereabbott.bsky.social•7 days ago

I feel your pain and the struggle is real.

copperside.bsky.social•6 days ago

Spraying water creates negative ions which are good for you. Some people pay good money for that. You should be thanking her for this!

steamboatusa.bsky.social•7 days ago

JUST PRESS THE BUTTON BACK TO NORMAL MODE. PLEASE. IM DYING OVER HERE.

jaconthebrazos.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think, again, your problem is that your shit is too fancy for you to get it to work properly.

endmalcompetence.bsky.social•7 days ago

At the risk of starting an unnecessary conflict, you might compare it to putting the toilet seat down...

lizqtrouble.bsky.social•7 days ago

LMAO 🤣

steamboatusa.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is literally the only problem in our relationship (at least within our control) so it’s not all bad but it’s also NOT GOOD.

lisaad.bsky.social•7 days ago

Who says the sprayer isn’t the “normal” mode?!

steamboatusa.bsky.social•7 days ago

History! Time immemorial! Hundreds of years of plumbed lines that didn’t spray!!

amouranimal.bsky.social•6 days ago

Start leaving the seat up 😂😂😂

anothermeansgirl1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Bad idea

amouranimal.bsky.social•6 days ago

Very😂😂

Ashley: "What's with this fucking trickle of water? Every time."

nateb.bsky.social•6 days ago

We have this exact same problem. Though we are equal offenders.

Should've replaced it years ago but it's too late now. A faucet that doesn't annoy us every day might make her resent me for not replacing it years ago. I gotta ride this POS out til the bitter end.

rachelziol.bsky.social•7 days ago

Smiles in my husband likes to leave my car radio on full blast when he drives it so I get my ear drums blown out when I start it up

jcamacholegal.bsky.social•6 days ago

My husband's worst trait is that he either leaves my car radio on auxiliary mode where his phone was attached or the sport radio show. I hate talking shows and my phone is not attached.
As he pulls my car out every morning, this is a daily small irritation. Lol

fatlil6ringo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hey!!! I do that too!
Fist bump for the hubby. Tell him I said, hello and can't wait to see him at the secret meeting on Friday

I turn my volume down upon exiting the car… and no one does this except me apparently

jaconthebrazos.bsky.social•6 days ago

I used to get blasted by the CD I had in the car lol.

But now there's a setting I have that sets the volume (low) upon restart so I don't have this. BUT it doesn't for phone audio so I have to crank it down before I hang up BC WHY DO DR'S OFFICES HAVE THE QUIETEST PHONE MICROPHONES?

lawyerinbeta.com•6 days ago

I’m the asshole who cuts them off and says “I CANNOT HEAR YOU AND MY PHONE VOLUME IS ON MAX” and then wow suddenly they turn their volume up or speak louder, isn’t that wild. You’d think they would max out volume with an aging population 🙃

rachelziol.bsky.social•6 days ago
