Here's just a list of some small things my mom that tends to piss me off over time:
1. Not properly turning off the TV. She'll either only turn off the TV or only the cable box. Then I get to play which one is it.
2. She never uses the HD channels. We'll turn the TV on to watch the Yankees or something, and she'll turn on channel 55, the non-HD channel. Why even bother having HD if she never turns it on? I mean, I'm the one who pays the extra HD fee but it's ridiculous. We have it for a reason.
3. Never taking her laundry out of the washer. Since I don't work, I like to do my laundry during the day so if those who work want to do it when they get home, I won't be in their way. Without fail, there's always a load of laundry in the washer that was never thrown in the drier. So then if it's been in there too long, I have to redo her load just to do mine. I don't want to do other people's laundry.
4. Parking right behind me. I'm the only one with a brand new car. My car is the only one with a solid paint job. As such, I park my car in our garage. My mom almost without fail will park in the driveway right behind me. God forbid I have to go somewhere, she acts like it's a huge deal to move her car.
5. Nearly every Monday, like clockwork, my mom tells me to mow the lawn. Now, we might not be in the drought some of the other country is in, but we still haven't been getting much rain and when it does rain, it's really quick. We also don't have normal grass in our lawn either. As a result, it's been barely growing at all. If the grass hasn't grown at all, I'm not wasting my time mowing off a millimeter of grass. It's not worth my time and it's not worth the gasoline. But she'll still flip out about it.
6. The airconditioning. Last night, she whined that we use it too much and we need to give the system a rest (I don't buy that. She just wants a lower electricity bill.). So since last night was going to be the coolest night of the week, my sister and I picked last night. We opened all the windows and it wasn't actually as horrible as normal. I told my mom last night that when she gets up, to make sure to shut the windows and turn the AC back on. Otherwise, I'll wake up to a house that is 80F (26.7C) and I'll be laying in sweat. I'll wake up early and be forced to get up normally than my body is okay with. So what happened this morning? I wake up around 9am and I'm sweating balls. Naturally, it's hot in the house, windows are still open, AC is off. She says it's not that bad in the house with the AC off, but I'm the only one who is in the house when it's hot outside. Sure, it won't be so bad inside once it's past 5pm but I still have to suffer and she doesn't seem to understand it.
7. The dogs. My mom is the reason my dogs are overweight and have such bad manners. My mom constantly gives them scraps from the table while we are eating. If she's having a snack while in the living room, instead of saying no and making them get off the couch, she rewards their begging with snacks. But then she'll complain if a dog snatches food out of her hand. I'm trying my damnest to train them to be better with food. Hell, I've nearly gotten the smaller dog to stop jumping against me when I give them a couple kibbles as a treat. But my mom just ruins all that training by reinforcing their bad behavior. She also won't contribute to making the dogs healthier. My older dog is slight bigger than a 15" beagle (the larger breed of beagle). He was 37 lbs. at the vet which is pretty bad. 30 lbs is what they should weigh at most. Thanks to my playing with them and taking them on walks along with my stepdad walking them, he's dropped down to 34.5 lbs. He looks much healthier, moves a lot faster. But the little one is still plump. If they die of something other than clogged arteries I'll be surprised.
