I cant wait until my youngest DS gets a brand new car that he has worked so hard to buy with his own $. I am going to ask him to drive me all over town and drop me off at various places. Every time I get out of the car I am going to FART! I couldnt tell you how many mornings I have driven that kid to school and he farts right before he gets out. ugh. As for everything else with the rest of them. I am totally going to leave lights on, stand in front of the fridge with the door open, Stand at the back door and yell at their dogs with the door wide open for bugs to come in. I am also going to complain that I am hot or cold, leave my bath towels all over the floor, hide my socks in the sofa cushions and on the window sills and def leave all of my dirty dishes in my bedroom. I cant wait! lol Oldest DS has an apartment already ( he is at school) the last couple times I have been there I accidentally have left the bathroom light on ( its a habit, we have motion sensor ones at our house) he has yelled at me 2xs. JEESH mom, turn off the bathroom light, that costs.

I will walk into his home, drop my bags in the middle of the living room floor and head to the bathroom without acknowledging anyone’s existence. Upon reaching the bathroom, I will take a 45 minute long poop while simultaneously playing my tablet and phone. Later, I will retreat to his man cave, where I will hoard empty glasses, coffee mugs, paper plates, and tissue boxes until he asks where have all our drinking utensils gone. At the same time, I will spread armfuls of colored pencils, chalks, watercolors, and half-used drawing pads throughout the room.
As he’s trying to sleep, I will play video games with the volume high in the room next door until 3 AM, sometimes chatting with my friends online too. If I decide to humor him and wake before 2 PM, I will be sure to make up for it by using all the hot water with my interminable shower and slip water on the floor, soaking bathmats. And of course, I will leave all my dirty underwear decorating the gues bathroom floor. Above all, though, I will make sure that his guest bedroom needs to be fumigated after I leave because of the accumulation of dirty clothes, empty bags, dirty tissues, and general crap that I spread over every inch of the floor. So there!

Make pasta and use parmesean cheese that will get nowhere near the pasta but get all over counter and walk away
ignore the clean open dishwasher even if there is no dish I need on shelf and find some other way to eat my food
pile up my shoes/backpacks/towels/etc in the entry way
do my laundry and leave it in the dryer for X days
not flush the toilet
use my headphones on the loudest volume possible so you wont hear me
leave the bathroom a stinky mess and leave the fan off and door open
and just this week:
dye my hair black, half assed clean up the bathroom, and leave the other half purple

I will never ever flush the toilet! I swear to God above... if my neighbor ever calls the cops on me it is because I was screaming, "IT'S BROWN. FLUSH IT DOWN!!!!!" My angry stress vein just popped out on my forehead.

I will hide every stapler, pair of scissors and roll of tape that I can find in their house. I will unload the dishwasher and put said dishes all in the closest cabinet, so that when the next person opens said cabinet, they fall out. I will volunteer to vacuum, but then walk thru the rooms as I please, leaving most of what needs to be vaccumed as it was. Then, not put the vacuum cleaner away. I will put the empty milk jug back in the fridge. I will start a large project that requires oodles of supplies, pulled out from every nook and cranny of the house, and then get bored with said project and leave all the mess there. And then start another similar but different project and do the same thing. Again and again.

I will wait until five minutes before the store closes to demand some mandatory want. I will drive their car, and give it back with the gas gauge that says zero miles to empty, and remind them they can get two miles down the street to the gas station. I will pile my dirty clothes around the toilet. I will cook things with garlic in the middle of the night. I will run out of prescription refills, then ask they call the doctor for refills, and be vague how long I haven’t taken my meds. I will trim my hair in the sink and not clean it.

Seriously, WHERE DO ALL THE SPOONS GO?!?! I’ll trade you spoons for forks! I buy a pack of stainless steel cutlery at Costco every year because where do all the fuc@&@? forks actually go? I sell all the pieces I don’t need on an auction site but feel I really need to get a bunch of mums together to share the Costco cutlery pack because teenagers

I really, really appreciate this thread today. Last night I walked into DD12's room, and there was dirty underwear on the top of her bookcase, about 12 life saver wrappers on her nightstand and a used pad with "contents" (no joke!) face up on her bed. "Oh, I forgot to throw that away!" I lost it. Anyway, sorry to hear others are having troubles but I do feel part of the sisterhood.

Leave my dirty cups and plates in my room until they start growing science experiments or she comes looking for them because there are hardly any clean ones in the kitchen to use!

The timing of this thread is priceless! We are flying out to spend 5 nights with our son tonight. We usually stay in a hotel, but this time we are staying with him.
The first thing I thought of was to leave every light in the house on. I was surprised to see that one mentioned more than once!

While he’s cooking dinner for me, I’ll eat a family bag of popcorn, a couple of croissants, and a banana, then I’ll eat a couple of bites of dinner and claim I’m full. Half an hour later I’ll eat half a tub of ice cream and leave the empty bowl and spoon on the sofa. I will attempt to do everything one handed while holding my phone to watch my favourite YouTubers play video games.

I am also going to sprinkle dry cereal throughout their homes. Multiple times a day. Preferably shortly after they vacuum the floors for the third time in one day.

I am going to pick a spot in her living room and put all of my possessions there. Like the chest by the door or the love seat - somewhere super convenient.
Then, I'll go pee on her toilet seat and say, "I didn't know I did that." (Someone is currently "restricted" from using my bathroom.)
I'm already stealing her clothes. I've lost some weight, and she likes to buy her clothes large, while I think loosely-fitted (if that makes any sense) looks better on me. Instead of buying everything new, I've been raiding her closet on occasion. When she complains, I just look down at my shoes on her feet.
I'm also going to take all of my best things (pants, hair brushes, whatever is needed for school tomorrow) over to someone else's house, leave them there, then borrow hers since I can't find mine.

My boys are moving out at the end of the month. They are full grown men. Really the only thing they do that irritates me is ask me when dinner is (imagine chirping baby birds) even on Tuesdays and Thursdays that they already KNOW is make you own damn dinner night. Oh, they are also horrible at wiping off a counter. They do it, but mostly smear more than clean. Yes! This! Both, lol. I have 16 ds, 18 dd, 19 ds. The oldest two (not even the youngest, the one I am legally responsible for) asks every.single.day, "What's for dinner". And then one or the other will complain they would rather have xyx instead. I preplan meals at the beginning of the week. Everything for each meal is in a plastic shoe box in the pantry labeled "meal 1, meal 2, ect with all the dry ingredients AND a recipe. Meat is in the meat box in the fridge. Really easy to find. Here is an idea- go to the pantry, CHOOSE what you want, then (this is where it gets good) MAKE IT!! You get exactly WHAT you want, WHEN you want. But apparently it is more fun to drive me crazy. And don't even get me started on the counters- even AFTER they claim they cleaned them. They are really good young adults so we keep them around but they certainly aren't perfect!

For my son, I will pilfer all of the paper in his printer. For my daughter, I will leave juice glasses everywhere - with a few in hard to imagine places like a drawer in the bathroom.

Never ever wash a drinking glass. For some reason glasses are not "dishes" in our house. Pots and pans aren't either apparently. Our dishwasher broke a few years ago and I refuse to buy a new one. It was our third in 20 years and I think that is a ridiculous life span for an appliance. So the rule is everyone washes their own dishes when done using them. Occasionally we will get a pile up of dishes if we have to run after dinner but mostly everyone does it- except drinking glasses. NO ONE washes their drinking glasses (DH and I have our own bottles we use exclusively and we tried to give the kids their own bottles but they are too lazy to keep track of them). So it seems we always have a pile of drinking glasses in the sink, spilling over onto the counter. Apparently, no one uses the same glass twice and they drink like fish? They are also supposed to take turns washing pots and pans after dinner and even as you are looking a dirty pot/ pan on the stove they will tell you there are none to wash.

Under the couch! I will roll my water glass under the couch when I am done using it and since they seem to think that is where they belong they should be able to find them just fine when their glass cupboard is bare. I think that is where they hide them when the sink gets too full.

I’m going to go to the thrift store, department store, and Costco before I go visit my youngest and stock up on socks, which I will then hide, throw and drape from every surface in the house, with a special concentration stuffed down inside every couch and chair! And then, when de and I go shopping, I’m going to tell him (every single time!) that I don’t have any socks and that he should buy me another package ...

I will make sure there the toilet paper is empty with no roll in sight I don't have kids but something the husband does that drives me nuts is, he leaves a sheet of paper on the roll so he can say he didn't leave it empty!

I am thinking that I totally lucked out as a mom. If I even try to sneak food to my bedroom, I get a dirty look and comment from my oldest that food belongs in the kitchen. All of these rules come back at me.

I'm going to accidentally spill nail polish in various places where you just can't remove it. I'm going to sit in the bathroom for long periods of time and promise I'll be out in a minute. but not.

Love it! I will...
Walk in and drop my shoes, jacket, luggage in the middle of the kitchen floor Open every cabinet door looking for food and leave them open Take several glasses to my room and leave them there Invite five friends over without any notice Eat all the food he was planning to make the next meal with Walk around the bathroom without drying off after a shower
and I might just... stick ink pens, change, wads of paper and crayons in my jean pockets and ask him to wash them! Fun stuff!!!
