My ex-wife's daughters, especially the older one, left a trail of laziness in their wake
Getting something out of the cupboard? Walk off and leave the door open/light on/stuff you moved to find what you wanted where you left it...

Watching TV? Going out? Get up and walk out of the room, leaving the TV on.

Going out? Leave the front door open (I came home from w*rk once to find the front and back doors wide open, every light in the house on, TV on, heating on full and kitchen looking like a bomb site. Both girls, nowhere to be seen)

And my personal "favourite" - I gave both of them (and their mum) a lift once. When I stopped the car, they all got out and walked off - and the oldest daughter left the car door open, which I had to then get out of the car and close myself. When I mentioned this later, I was told off for moaning O_o

If you pull away quickly
you can normally shut the door.

Did they have big tits though?
I think I speak for all the sex cases on here...

When some of my friends crash on the sofa they seem to lack the gumption to lock the door behind them.
And post the keys back through the letterbox. Which means I usually have to take my keys with me and get woken up when they want to leave.

It's this lack of trust, mild hangover and being late for work, that resulted in me inadvertently locking one of them in my house for a whole working day yesterday.

I back you fully on this one.
A couple of mates stayed around my flat once, but not being ready to sleep and (them not me) full of MASSIVE DRUGS, they decided to visit the fairly secret local fisherman's pub which served at odd hours, almost 24 hours, because of the early/late starts of the fishermen. They went about 6am then stumbled back to mine about 8am and tried to break back in. My neighbour saw them and told them to get the hell off my window sill and one preceded to piss all over my front door. My mates are cunts, but you know, they're mates, so what can you do?

Trust issues
I have a friend (a police officer, no less) who invited a couple of interstate visitors to stay for a week. Since she spends all her time meeting the worst of society, she has some trust issues.

The solution to having strangers in her house? They weren't allowed to be *in* the house while she was out. No keys or access to the house. So, up at 6:30 am, out the door by 7:30 each day to try and amuse themselves until she got home at 5:00.

^ Did this include being shouted at from the other side of the house?
This annoys me no end.

GRRRRRRRR
I got annoyed on your behalf just reading that !!

My wife and my mother both do this. Try as I might I just can't half close a door or drawer as they do and get it to stop half opened, I find it physically impossible.

I walk into the kitchen and loudly say "Oh is this drawer jammed? Oh no it seems to close quite easily"

The irony is quite lost on them.

When the wife gets out of my car
she closes it so hard the kids put their hands over their ears. You would think that she would be a bit more gentle after the first time I asked her, but no.

I too have this.
With my lodger, girlfriend, daughters...in fact, seemingly every bastard who visits my house.

I seem to spend a serious proportion of my day closing doors, turning off lights, putting t-bags in the bin (I don't even drink tea) etc...

I've but screaming door alarms on three of the doors now (hey, it's nearly winter...and I'm the only fucker paying the heating bill!). That's helped a bit.

I'm now going to wire the rest of the lights into a big remote control bos.

Come to think of it, this could be where my obsession with home-automation has come from....
