Weird things your DH does (lighthearted!)

[cloudymelonade]

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?

He likes wearing women's slippers, saying that ones for men are very boring in comparison, and that when he was at university, it was a thing among both boys and girls to wear big animal-shaped ones around their hall of residence. I've seen him eyeing up my Uggs - he'd be sneakily wearing them if they fitted him! I haven't felt generous enough to buy him a pair for Christmas, because I'm not sure I'd want to see him wearing them!

And speaking of presents, he likes to wrap mine in front of me, while my eyes are "wrapped up" (in other words, I'm blindfolded). At first I thought this was the silliest thing ever, but I really like it now, and it's a bi-annual ritual of ours!

It’s hard to choose just one, but I’d say ‘shoes to walk from mound to bedroom DH’ is a nose in front at this stage.

Bloody iPad! Lounge not ‘mound’ 😆

Clenches his fists, screws his nose up and lifts a leg to fart, whilst making eye contact.

So much funny stuff on mn today. Mine gets undressed to poo.
Weeping.

DH has an aversion to wearing trousers when he's at home. Taking his trousers off is one of the first things he does when he gets in the front door, even if the house is cold, or we are due a delivery etc. so there are often pairs of his trousers scattered around the house in case he needs to put some back on if the doorbell rings!

Does DIY in his robe. He is known for this.

Makes this weird song when walking into a room like the Intel processing tune "do do do do!"

DP has his own quirks but the most ridiculous so far is the way he cooks crumpets. He was astounded when my visiting DD went to put then in the toaster. We both looked strangely at him and asked what else you'd do.
He shallow fries them.
My list will increase I'm sure as it's been less than a year.

@EffYouSeeKaye omg yes! My DH does this too! He tore a bag of floor virtually in half the other night

@marriednotdead
My DP does this too! I was shocked to have a fried crumpet. He often does them with a cooked breakfast.

He does all sorts in his bathrobe including DIY.

And watches medical programmes purely to yell at the telly!

Says “fork and knife” instead of the correct “knife and fork”

Eats a bowl of cornflakes without milk

Mixes ice cream up until it’s runny before eating it.

I know there are others but can’t think off the top of my head.

My DH swills his drink around his mouth before he swallows it. Every. Single. Sip.

Ah, sympathies @MotherOfTheNoise - I try and get to them before him now, I can’t bear the shredded packets. Sometimes I retrieve the empty box from the recycling so I can decant the contents back into a perfect container
I might be even more weird than him

Says “fork and knife” instead of the correct “knife and fork"

Mine also does this. Makes me want to stab his eyes out with a correctly ordered knife and fork.

my dp after eating will sneeze three times he says its his way of knowing when he is full up!

Fried crumpets is a winner as far as I am concerned!

eats marmalade and marmite sandwiches and marmalade and cheese sandwiches. Turns my stomach.

When we leave a friends home or a restaurant farts noisily as soon as we get outside. I just pray our hosts have not heard it. I never stand behind him either.

Oh my god missnearlyvintage my husband is the same. He sheds his jeans the minute he walks through the front door. Now my teenage son has started doing it. I despair.

Bangs his spoon in the side of the bowl when eating anything from a bowl, like a constant clinking from start to finish - we all dread it when he has cereal for breakfast.

May not seem strange, but is strange to me - if DH has Weetabix for breakfast, he’ll put the milk on and then leave them for about 10 minutes while he makes me a cup of tea. He prefers them really mushy, like the way you make them for babies. I have to eat Weetabix straight away. I prefer them a bit crunchy.

He sneezes on a cloudy day if outside and the sun comes out too. It's fun because DS1 has inherited this. DS2 and me are normal.

@effyouseekaye omg me see tooooo every single thing he opens is ruined!!! I'm like there's a fucking easy way of opening this but Noooooooo you had to claw your way in.

@woollymummoth I thought it was just my DH! He has persisted in taking his trousers off here all week despite our boiler being broken and the house being colder at points than outside... if he’s ever feeling cold it has nothing to do with him wearing no trousers apparently... he also struggles when we visit other people or have visitors over which stop him from taking his trousers off!

Yes mine also takes his trousers off when he gets home. Then uses it as an excuse to not answer door. I bought him loungewear.

When we are in bed, if I move, he will immediately move as well.

If I say I am ill, he immediately says he has the same thing.

My dh moves his head instead of the toothbrush when he brushes his teeth. It's infuriating to watch.
