Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Sorry, I mean she doesn't understand the concept of off switches.
She'll walk into the bedroom, flip on the TV, change her top or whatever she came in for, then walk out - leaving the TV, lights and probably radio, curling tongs and several other appliances on and happily burning power.
I seem to be permanantly turning things off behind her*.
* insert filthy punchline here

as mine can't do any of the above either. This evening I finally gave in and cleaned up the kitchen after seeing what would happen if I left it alone for a while. The answer: every drawer left open, three days' worth of eggshells in a bowl on the counter, empty plastic shopping bags on the counter, a quarter of a dessicated orange sitting on the cutting board...
...and yet she's the one with the PhD.
