Welcome to the wonderful world of Domestic Crimes - a blog on the pet hates, peeves and frustrations of living with others.
This is a part of my full site(www.domesticcrimes.com) which I set up so that you can comment on what I consider crimes, post related anecdotes or just let me know what gets up your nose.

Crimes of Passion - the unwelcome gift left by a transient lover
I hope the sex was better than his bedside manner.
But there is an upside to this scenario; on discovering the little present your hit and run driver has left under the bed, at least you know there won't be a rubber floatie waiting for you in the bathroom.
I don't think that I have ever done this to someone... well at least on those occasions I can recall.
This is actually closely related to a quite uniquely disgusting crime someone sent in to me a while back... when a housemate goes to the beach for a day, gets horrendously sunburned and then, a week later shed's his skin in large flaky sheets onto the bathroom floor.
There is an insane pleasure one gets from peeling off ones outer husk, something I am sure is a throwback from our reptilian ancestry, but it is a pleasure best experienced in private ( and with a vacuum readily on hand )...
What were the phonebooks doing in the cling wrap drawer of this friend’s kitchen in L.A.? Was this her idea of logical kitchen organisation? I went through the rest of my week in the U.S. with a nagging feeling of unsettled disquiet as a result of this discovery.
Have you ever seen the walk a dog does, just after completing its business?
Well that’s the walk you’re about to do when you move off the seat to rummage, hopefully with success, through the bathroom cabinets to find a new roll.
If that doesn’t work, your remaining options are: – Tissues (structurally compromised) – Bathroom reading material (generally more smear than grab) – Tearing up the cardboard roll (personally not recommended) – Holler loudly and hope
I started this blog to add the facility for people to comment on material about the pet peeves and frustrations of living with others that I have already posted to my other site: www.domesticcrimes.com (please do note this is unashamed promotion for a book I have published on the subject!)
I will slowly be interlinking material between that site and this blog and adding new stuff as I develop it, so keep on coming back, y'all!
