Things That Grot Me

I was in the shower at the gym the other day when I saw a long wad of hair stuck in the plug hole.  Gross I know but it got me thinking....  and please feel free to add to the list...

Warning: imagery created in this post may be offensive to some.

  • Used tea bags in the sink
  • Food stuck in the kitchen sink plug hole
  • Standing on cooked rice in bare feet
  • Dog poo
  • Hair stuck in plugholes (see above!)
  • Chewing gum stuck to shoes
  • Toast buttered on the bench (use a plate already!)
  • Wooden chopping boards, actually make that wet, wooden chopping boards
  • The feel of suede (?, I know, weird)
  • Ash trays - thank god you don't see too many of these anymore, however The Sister and I will forever be scarred by the memory of having to wash our parents ashtrays, where even as young naive girls, we drew the line and said, "No. Wash them yourselves".
  • Dirty dish clothes that haven't been rinsed out properly and still have gunk in them.
  • Greasy range hood grills
  • soggy bread
  • the smell of dirty hair
  • rubbish bins in kitchens (get it out of the house),
  • wet toilet seats
  • women using the showers at the swimming pool as their own personal spa (you know who you are! - go home!).
  • Toilet brushes 

I think there is a theme going here, might have something to do with the fact my house is a shambles and I'm looking at everything with smeary glass half empty eyes.  My poor boys, my eldest even asked "Mum, what is WITH you?

So lets make a Grot List - what grots you???  I'll post any suggestions from the Comments as we go.

And really people you need to thank me for NOT posting the images I found when I was googling "hair in plug hole, images".  Seriously.

  1. - really? rice in bare feet? what is going on in your kitchen. I think I only did the tea bag once at your house - sorry:)

    what about soggy bread, the smell of dirty hair, rubbish bins in kitchens (get it out of the house), wet toilet seats and women using the showers at the swimming pool as their own personal spa (you know who you are! - go home!).

    The rice stuck on bare feet must be genetic, I really hate that too.
