Weird things your DH does (lighthearted!)

I love my DH dearly but sometimes I do shake my head a bit at things he does that I find completely baffling.

The most recent one I've found this week- he takes his wedding ring off to do a poo.

What odd but totally harmless things does your DH do? Grin

That is strange! Is it so the ring is off ready for him to wash his hands though? Because I get that.

cloudymelonade · 06/04/2019 15:12

@LuckyAmy1986 no idea! Possibly... maybe I'm the weird one for keeping mine on!

My DH goes for a poo even though he doesn’t “need” one. He goes either at the beginning or end of the day and just sits there until he does one. He never gets the urge to go because he just schedules it. Then complains he often has a sore arse!

Hazlenutpie · 06/04/2019 15:19

My DH looks at his watch, if you ask him if he's hungry? It makes me laugh every time. His excuse is that he's checking the time to see if it's meal time.

My DH can’t bring himself to use new things! We have new crockery and he lifts the beautiful new stuff to get to the old stuff! He also doesn’t toast a bagel, fucking weirdo😂😂😂

Yayswimming · 06/04/2019 15:29

My DH does the washing up and then puts it in the dishwasher. He doesn't trust the dishwasher to wash things properly as occasionally something comes out with stubborn marks on so he makes sure everything is clean before going in.

Happynow001 · 06/04/2019 16:47

Your DHs all sound lovely! 😁

Biancadelrioisback · 06/04/2019 17:11

My DH has to unmake the bed before he gets in. Like hell shake the duvet and twist it into a big ball, or jump on the bed to mess the duvet up. He thinks he's adding in comfort

IntoValhalla · 06/04/2019 17:15

Puts things in weird places in the fridge and puts things in the fridge that definitely don’t belong in there Hmm
We’ve got a zero degrees drawer which doesn’t quite freeze stuff, but does keep it much colder than the rest of the fridge. I opened said drawer today to be greeted with an unopened packet of part baked baguettes Hmm Surely you either fully freeze them in the freezer, or just put them in the cupboard/bread bin right? Not keep them in some weird semi-frozen limbo Hmm

CoperCabana · 06/04/2019 17:15

My DH bangs the table repeatedly if he feels poorly and blows a raspberry if he hurts himself, like stubs a toe. Oddball!

spaniorita · 06/04/2019 18:11

I can sing or whistle a tune, absolutely any tune I like around DH, and I can guarantee you that within two minutes he will be pottering around whistling that very same tune himself. It's a bit of a running joke between DS1 and me. "Mum, see if you can get him to whistle Star Wars"

VictoriaBun · 06/04/2019 18:15

First off - the house is clean, bathroom cleaned regularly . My dh every time he sits down on the loo has a shit he lines the loo seat with toilet paper !

ABC1234DEF · 06/04/2019 18:18

Chews yoghurt (without bits)

God only knows why but it drives me a little crazy. He barely chews actual food before swallowing it

DuggeesWoggle · 06/04/2019 18:23

My DH eats will eat a crumpet (but never two at once) with just marmite and NO BUTTER. I can barely watch such a crime against crumpets and have even wondered if I should LTB over this but he's fairly harmless otherwise so I have decided to let it go.

He also holds his knife and fork the other way around despite being right handed. I'm blaming MIL.

miaCara · 06/04/2019 18:31

Chews ice-cream for pitys sake. Eats it like a solid substance. Plus it makes a noise like a dog chomping .Envy not envy

Bangs the cushion with the flat of his hand to emphasise a point he is trying to put across .This is while lying on the settee and arguing with some programme. Its remarkably loud.

Bowie92 · 06/04/2019 18:37

My DH puts his shoes on to go to bed. As in he sits up on the sofa, puts on his shoes, walks 10 steps to the bedroom and then takes them off again 😂

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 06/04/2019 18:43

It would be a LTB from me for that, DuggeesWoggle. It is, as you say, a crime against crumpets.

WeeBeasties · 06/04/2019 18:44

My DH eats tuna and ketchup sandwiches. When we started dating he made me a tuna sandwhich this way, without telling me. I gagged. He was shocked as he though that's how everyone eats tuna.

FrangipaniBlue · 06/04/2019 18:47

He also holds his knife and fork the other way around despite being right handed. I'm blaming MIL.

So does mine and my DS!

Chews ice-cream for pitys sake. Eats it like a solid substance.

Yup. DH does this too Hmm

He also puts mayo on chips and gravy and is not averse to gravy on baked beans...... Envy

thenewaveragebear1983 · 06/04/2019 18:48

He won't put tea bags in the bin in case they melt the bin bag. It used to be that he was concerned they would set the bin on fire until I very calmly and without laughing explained how this was impossible.

He runs a comb over his head twice a day even though he is bald as an apple. He gets very sensitive about his comb if I move it or, god forbid, use it. I guess his comb just isn't used to actual hair?

Mine gets up off the toilet, mid-shit, trousers round ankles, to lift our dogs onto our bed then shuffles back to the toilet again. Drives me insane.

Hiddenaspie1973 · 06/04/2019 18:59

Mine gets undressed to poo.
Will rave for hours or days about something he's bought. Repetitive.
Has to drink from a white lined cup.

huggybear · 06/04/2019 19:00

Makes sheep noises.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 06/04/2019 19:02

My lovely DH does pronounce Ricky Jervias' name properly - he says Jer-Vay ... it's gone on too long for me to correct him now.

EffYouSeeKaye · 06/04/2019 19:03

Opens every packet of cereal / box of tea bags like a man who has been starved in the desert for 40 days and then had a pair of oven mitts duct-taped to his hands. 🙄
