Most Annoying Household Habits

Growing up in a large family meant that it was inevitable that we argued about most things. Whether it was fighting for the bathroom, making too much noise with our cassette tapes or fighting, we were a nightmare for our parents.

Now that i am the proud owner of a two year old and a four year old i am beginning to see life through my parents eyes. Naturally all my two boys want to do is fight and argue over toys. The number one annoyance in our home has to be the constant mess. If it is not the kids, it is the wife with her make-up, straighteners, books,etc... I confess i am no angel, i am prone to leaving my tech and halve eaten food all over the house. The kids love nothing more than waking up on a morning and finding leftover sweets and crisps left on the sofa.

I came across a new study by Boost Power, the pay as you go energy provider who have found the top five most annoying household habits in the UK. The campaign and imagery really struck a chord with me so i wanted to share in the annoyances together: 

1. Leaving dirty dishes in the sink 
2. Leaving the lights on when not in the room 
3. Not cleaning hairs from the sink after shaving 
4. Not replacing the toilet roll 
5. Being loud whilst someone is trying to sleep

Personally i am not that bothered about dirty dishes in the sink, as i get more frustrated at people loading the dishwasher incorrectly. Leaving the lights on is a bugbear as i am the one paying the energy bill! I am sure that my wife gets very annoyed at me leaving hairs in and around the sink from shaving, sorry love!

The illustrations of some of the funniest annoyances are hilarious. The poo left on the bathroom floor is one that many of us with children will be well too familair with:
