Pas mal du tout la liste surtout le 32:

Depuis que je suis avec madame, je n' ai jamais posseder autant de PQ a la maison, j' ai beau lui dire que la guerre est fini et qu' on a pas besoin de 20 rouleaux, surtout quand on est seulement 2. mais bof, il n' y a rien a faire.

Merci, au moins tu viens de me rassurer sur son etat mental.

Ce qui me fait arracher les cheveux le plus, c'est cette manie de garder des restes d'une bouchée ou deux dans le frigo (numéro 29 b), au lieu, soit de finir complètement le plat, soit de foutre les restes à la poubelle. Comme tu dis, y a rien à faire, j'ai beau hurler et me rouler par terre, je continue de trouver des petits pots de tupperware partout dans le frigo (souvent avec une bonne couche de moisissure par desssus) parce que personne ne touche aux restes une fois que c'est rangé dans le frigo.
