*Lighthearted* What has DH done to piss you off today?

48 replies

Reasonably lighthearted at least, please, I need to feel less pissed off!

Today DH unknowingly stepped on a nugget of cat shit and walked it all the way through the house to 3yo DS1's room. Once the poo culprit was identified, it was suddenly time for work and he swanned off cheerily, leaving me with shitty carpets to clean and 3.5yo and 7mo DS to entertain at the same time.

He also put his breakfast bowl and spoon in the clean dishwasher, somehow managing to sully every single clean item with weetabixy milk drops.

He's surely only fit for patio treatment, amirite? Anyone else joining him?

Discarding socks everywhere. Bottom of stairs, on the sofas, middle of the floor, bathroom...he can remember to put the rest of his laundry in the basket but the socks thing is so irritating.

Also can not complete a job without getting distracted. Example is 'leave the kitchen, I'll clear up...I'll then walk in a couple of hours later and there's the dishwasher open, cupboards open and plates stacked. No further explanation other than 'DC wanted me to look something up / the dog needed letting out / I remembered I had to send an email' Gets grumpy if I then start doing it ' I said I'd do it...' Confused

@MorrisZapp mine does this!! Also he stands and stares when I'm doing things like cutting vegetables up. Why??? I don't need your supervision! It drives me insane.

NoSauce · 07/11/2019 11:35

Woke me up setting and resetting the house alarm at 3am on his way to the airport. He’d forgot his headphones and then came back for his neck cushion. He also locked the cat outside too Hmm

Ohh dh doesn't listen, asks the same question again and again but cannot be bothered listening. Before you say early dementia, he has always been like this, just got worse. At general health check, the gp told him he had great hearing, but was suffering from 'wife hearing loss'.
They both thought that was extremely funny ☹️.

But look on the bright side, we can all add a specially designed patio shovel to our Christmas wish list.

I have another. He did the shopping at the weekend. I asked him to get some of the uncle bens microwaveable rice. He bought whole grain 🤮

SunshineAngel · 07/11/2019 11:55

@buzzswole Mine does that every time he washes up, and then asks me why there's no sponge out next time ... erm maybe because it had been sitting in absolutely vile water all night and I didn't want my dishes to be washed with it? I don't know what's so hard about squeezing the sponge out and putting it on the side. I can understand leaving the water in IF and ONLY IF there's something soaking, for good reason. Not just because he can't be bothered scrubbing, but say if I've made something and really dirtied a pan or baking tray.

Majorcollywobble · 07/11/2019 12:03

So many .
Asked him to buy a green vegetable .
Returned with a white cabbage as big as his head. If life hands you lemons .... but industrial amounts of coleslaw ?

Left instructions to put shepherds pie in to brown before I got home from work .
Left lid on it and expressed surprise it didn’t brown . ( my fault apparently as didn’t tell him to remove lid). He’s aware of thermal radiation and convection of heat being an ex engineer .

Monkerina · 07/11/2019 12:35

Oh you are my people, I feel so much better knowing he's not alone in his twattishness Gin for all!

I'd forgotten about how he woke me up coming to bed last night, after I'd done wakes 1 and 2 for 7mo, then proceeded to snore so horrifically that I couldn't drop off. But that was ok, because 7mo DS proceeded to wake a further 4 times (all of which DH snored through) so I was barely in there anyway. Then he told me about his lively sleep this morning while I was frantically investigating the source of the poo stench, which turned out to be... him Envy

Put the ironing board back in the cupboard the wrong way up, so it fell on me when I got the hoover out. Walked past the (empty) dishwasher to put his dirty plates in the sink. Walked over the freshly mopped kitchen floor in his work boots, to make a cup of coffee, which he then spilled 😑

Rainatnight · 07/11/2019 18:53

Ok, I think I’m about to win this thread.

Took my wallet out of my handbag to borrow our joint account card. Did not put it (the whole wallet) back. Did not tell me. I found out when I was nearly at the shops.

EleanorReally · 07/11/2019 18:55

leaves the washing on the line, it started raining and he thinks they will just stay out til its dry

or brings it in, but leaves it for me to hang
Angry

SeaViewBliss · 07/11/2019 18:59

Mine is just breathing in an annoying way but that’s my mood more than him. He keeps asking me what I want to do on Saturday, on HIS birthday! I keep saying it’s up to him but he is insisting he wants to do something I want to do. JUST PICK SOMETHING Angry

itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted · 07/11/2019 19:05

Hangs his dressing gown OVER the bathroom door instead of the hook ON the bathroom door

He seems to be having is own personal competition about how many wet towels he can pile on top of each other on the heated towel rail.....and then moans that they are all still damp....

Never seems to be able to 100% complete anything I ask him to do - I pile up all the the shopping items that need to be taken upstairs to the bathroom.....he only take HIS shower gel/shampoo and leaves all mine 🤷‍♀️

Steps over the bin bags in the porch waiting to be put in the bins and goes out the door

God the list is endless! 🤣

whatsinthebagwhatcoulditbe · 07/11/2019 19:13

Mine woke me up at 4am screaming in my face because he was having a nightmare.

I would have minded slightly less had i not been up with the baby from 1-3am Angry

Paythosebitchesnomind269 · 07/11/2019 19:21

Empty loo roll, shampoo, shower gel left on the bathroom side - I will put them in the bin then 🙄

codenameduchess · 07/11/2019 19:27

He ate pasta. Not usually a crime granted, but he made him and DD some and nothing for me knowing I was on my way home and the way he chews in inhuman! It's so loud and wet sounding, every bite has an audible intake of breath with it followed by excessively loud chewing sounds. It's so bad I can't be in the same room when he eats cereal.

I am heavily pregnant, and slightly emotional today... but there's no excuse for the chewing.

HearMeSnore · 07/11/2019 19:34

Got another one. I had a day off today specifically to mooch about at home and de-stress because stuff has been getting on top of me lately. He knows that it's not having stuff to do that stresses me, it's having stuff to do...AND constantly being asked by other people to do something else.

So after a lovely day of calmly doing my own thing...what's the first thing he does when he gets in the door? Rattles off a list of jobs that he needs my help with. I physically felt my blood pressure rise.

Afternooninthepark · 07/11/2019 19:38

My lovely dh has decided to have a little ‘trim up’ in our en-suite. Good knows what the hell he has ‘trimmed’ but it looks like there has been a pube tsunami 😲

codenameduchess · 07/11/2019 19:57

And now he's fallen asleep putting dd to bed. I refuse to go and wake him up, because he's a grown ass man and should be able to stay awake for 10 minutes. He's going to come down in an hour or so and moan at me like it's my fault though.

Disfordarkchocolate · 07/11/2019 20:32

Mine has put Masterchef: the professionals on. I used to like it but I get so bored with things that are on for a few days in a row. I may go to bed and chill out, he has sniff and cough on his own.

tinatsarina · 07/11/2019 20:38

Mine leaves clothes on the bedroom floor when there is a basket at the end of the bed. Leaves towels in the bath or floor or flung over the edge of the bath instead of hung on the radiator

BigFatFuckNC · 07/11/2019 20:44

I told him about an idea I had for tea next week. It’s not something he’s eaten before. He gave me idea and options on how to make it better. Told me he needs more from his food.
He’s been told to fuck off. From Tuesday (big shop day) the weeks worth of planning, buying, cooking is up to him. Fuck that. He can deal with it.

Mumdiva99 · 09/11/2019 06:41

@codenameduchess you've really made me giggle. Just a warning the annoyance over eating doesn't leave when you are no longer pregnant. It increases in time.... especially when DC do it and tell you 'but daddy eats like that....' Aaahhh.

My DH has won this thread. I was wonderfully accommodating in helping him move our filing cabinet into the bedroom just so he can have another piece of gym equipment in the house. Only to find today when I went to get something that he's moved all the files around. Not only are they not in the right drawer, they are in the wrong order. Aaagghhhh.
