Things that your OH does that just wind me up… light hearted

[Worriedsickmostofthetime]

Should say winds YOU up. Nothing your OH does will wind me up 😂 Sitting watching tv. My DH will watch a movie 10 times over. It’s not intentional viewing. He will literally sit down, put the tv on and watch whatever is on the tv no matter how many times he has already seen it. Doesn’t matter if it’s from the beginning or if he picks up half way through. Drives me silly.

Spends 4 hours loading the car boot to a mm worth of precision before going on a trip but then chucks stuff randomly in the dishwasher.

This is very current: when DH walks round to the local supermarket to get a bit of shopping for dinner, he always always ALWAYS roughly folds the carrier bag and leaves it on the dining table in the kitchen instead of in the basket for carrier bags by the front door.

He also follows me around the house when he hears me moving.

Does all the food shopping, meal planning and cooking which is amazing. But can’t bear to sort the veg drawer in the fridge so if I don’t keep an eye on it, all the veg at the bottom will go mouldy. Like proper wet squashy mould. He will throw heavy stuff on bags of salad. It’s so odd.

I would love to know what would happen if I didn’t tidy it once every couple weeks but am too scared.

Dh never opens or closes the blinds. I've told him I hope they are at half mast if I die suddenly.

Ohhhh, yoghurt, ever-loving God, spare us the lid - he could get a Foley gig in the porn industry. And for a special treat, once the foil is licked to a frenzy, if it’s one with the cornflakes or the wee digestive balls, the in-head amplification provides the full mastication symphony. Sometimes he sort of does a sort of involuntary whiney groan when he’s eating too. Like a very quiet sleeping dog. I want to rip off my own ears. He wasn’t like that when we met, what’s all that about?

I believe I do have misophonia though. So am no picnic (thank fuck, chewy AND crunchy).

This is insignificant compared to some of these but he only ever reads one text, the most recent one, regardless of what’s above it. I could literally say anything in my messages as long as I followed it up with something mundane he’d never respond to it.

"Betty I'm chopping the potatoes now. Betty! Did you hear that?"

There’s only two of us and don’t have the biggest of freezers. But buys big family size bags of chips and frozen peas so there’s no room for anything else. Which makes the do we need an extra fridge or freezer decision harder because if he brought smaller sized stuff it would be fridge as a no brainier

Will use the towel which has been neatly hung up to dry his hands but then leave it scrunched up next to the sink when he is done. Never ever hangs it back up.

Use the potato masher! That’s what I do. 😀

Puts his shoes on the floor next to the completely pointless shoe rack.

My ex used to leave balled up socks everywhere, twat.

Complains if I leave the smallest pile of washing somewhere e.g in the utility room after I’ve got it off the washing line, but will leave his own clothes randomly around the house. There’s currently a pair of jeans on the kitchen table which I refuse to move, a couple of T-shirts on the bottom stairs waiting to go up. A million jumpers hanging on the bannister where coats usually are

I listen to recordings of a radio show from the 2000s over and over again. I can quote it endlessly and know what’s coming up in every moment of each episode. Also a comfort thing.

Picks at his fingernails. For some reason that sound drives me nuts!

Shows my kayaking videos. He kayaks. I don't. I do not care!!!!!!

The words ‘mastication symphony’ are genuinely so bang on it’s life changing! THANK YOU!!

• constantly listening to something in his headphones

• leaving empty water bottles on the counter top

• being so fussy about how he has a cup of tea

• the weird voice he puts on to cheer for his football team

• how he piles up any item in his way, that isn't his, onto my dressing table and calls it "tidying"

• how he scrapes the bowl aggressively when eating anything from a bowl

...... other than that, love him dearly 😂

Knows where I am in the house but still shouts my name repeatedly as he makes his way to me; I know that doesn’t sound annoying written down but there’s something about it that grinds my gears.
Also leaving TV on in every room.

Love my DH but he sometimes annoys me to death.
He will constantly talk about movie or show while we are watching it so I will have to volume up to hear the tv. Then will sleep after 15-20 mins and when show is over, he will wake up and ask me what happened in the show. Currently watching something on netflix while he is snoring off on the couch besides me 😂 We have been married 12 years now.
Also leaves cupboard doors open and leaves his clothes on the floor.

Mine - about 2 minutes before we have to leave to go somewhere- will stop putting his shoes on and then tell me some long and complicated story about something or other that happened- usually to do with electrics or mechanics of some sort.

After 20 years I have perfected the art of saying ; 'Walk and Talk. Walk and Talk' as i try to usher him out of the house.

TBF we have an ADHD son who does the same.......

(Also TBF DH never minds me chivvying him or gets cross, he just wanders along still talking).

Mine cracks eggs and then puts the empty shells in the carton, even if there are eggs in there he doesn't use. It's unsanitary. Drives me crazy!!

Asks if I want a cup of tea, will boil the kettle and walk off to do something while it boils. I might get one within the hour.

I love DH to bits but he’s quite annoying - although I realise this may be a perimenopausal thing because I find everyone intensely irritating these days. Off the top of my head:

Will switch on the TV in whichever room he’s in and then wander off to another room and leave the TV on in the room he’s just been in

Butters bread and leaves the knife balanced on the closed butter tub. Also leaves it out overnight.

Is obsessed with Trump and the Nazis. Will shoehorn the evils of both into many conversations.

Will drive round and round car parks looking for the perfect spot when we’ve passed plenty of perfectly perfect spots.

If something starts at eg 7.30 he will arrive at 7.30. He still can’t get his head around the fact that things might go wrong with traffic etc and that we really need to be arriving about 15-20 minutes early to get into our seats or whatever. I now tell him it starts at 7.

We are married to the same man

@GameOfJones He does exactly that! Dum de dum de do... I think we may be married to the same one, he's away for a week with work, is yours going away on Friday?! 🤣🤣🤣
