Arrghhh family.

This is a petty complaint, but I hosted Thanksgiving this year and my father, who doesn't like traveling or being away from his home but agrees to do it like ONCE a year is staying with me for a couple nights. He's the kind of person who claims to be easygoing and okay with everything, but I assure you that is not the case. He'll never come out and say he thinks my house isn't nice enough, but he'll oh so casually mention that hey, I can't help but notice that your water pressure isn't very powerful, or maybe your shower head needs replacing. (IMO, it's fine, he just doesn't understand the handheld shower has different settings and he can turn it to a more forceful spray if he wants.) Or hey, your window is fogging up, that means it's not well sealed. I mean. I live here. I know this house better than he does, but every visit he'll have half a dozen obvious things to tell me about my own house. He knows damn well I'm not made of money and cannot afford to have every single thing fixed or replaced, he just thinks that it'll be helpful to inform me of every issue he sees, anyway.

His latest thing is that he believes the bathroom door doesn't click shut as tightly as it should and we should get a screwdriver and loosen the strike plate or whatever. It's true that in humid weather, the door seems to have issues clicking. It's not a big deal, the door won't swing open by itself and nobody's going to barge into the bathroom because nobody wants to see him taking a shit. And since it's not humid now, the door shuts just fine - you can hear it click when you close it. But because he had previous "bad" experiences, now when he closes the bathroom door he goes through this elaborate process of wrenching the knob back and forth and up and down before locking it, because he thinks that's the proper way to achieve door closure. This achieves nothing but loosening the door knob and it'll likely eventually fall off in his hand, trapping him inside. So I'm sitting here wondering if I should tell him to knock it off and quit being ridiculous, or just give up because he won't believe me anyway.

Lol! This sounds like a pain to deal with but had me laughing when you described him complaining about the bathroom. Hope you and your doorknob make it through without too much unnecessary drama.

That sounds annoying, but also weirdly cute because it sounds like such a dad thing to do.

My father has departed for his own home sweet home, and my bathroom doorknob is still attached! No thanks to him, LOL.
