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.

If he's at home when a food delivery arrives he thinks he's helping by taking a crate and emptying the contents onto the dining table. I then have to take it all through to kitchen 😱

Put them in the bin

DH will answer a call whilst we are watching TV. We are self employed and need our phones. But then will yak yak away whilst the TV is on. I always gesture for him to get up and MOVE .... It is called a MOBILE phone for a reason, its not tethered to the couch! 😂

Or he will call me on the way home from work, usually whilst I am preparing supper and need two hands. Just calling for a chat generally. I have to stop what Im doing for said chat..... Then I will hear the car pull into the driveway! Why couldnt he wait until he was home to chat?

Never quite manages to finish a job.... mainly because he just doesn't see the rest of it. He does a LOT, but, for instance, he will clear up the kitchen but leave all the worktops needing to be cleaned. He will hoover but it isn't done properly. He will put a wash on but forget to add in the hand towels. I shouldn't complain as at least he does these things.... but since I end up having to finish them off anyway it's not as helpful as you might think.

Agreeing with the poster that said she had to keep removing her headphones cos DH kept talking to her… We have a couple of hours at the weekend when DP catches up with stuff he’s recorded during the week ( war films😕) and I will happily zone out snd read. Except - he keeps bloody talking to me!!

”ooh look who that is.. I bet they’re dead now”
”where do you think this was filmed?”
”this is a true story you know”
”what are you reading?”

…. Well bloody nothing, cos you won’t shut up!!!

I was going to get headphones… but doesn’t seem any point!

His "hovering". He will walk into a room and just stand there. When I'm watching the telly, he will just stand there watching it, then ask me a million questions about what I'm watching.

If we watch movie together, he spends the whole time IMDBing it to find out what other films he's seen the actors in.

Also his "side quests" if I ask him to do something around the house, he suddenly finds loads of other jobs that need doing. Its infuriating!

We changed the girls play house back to a coat and shoe cupboard ‘because there was no where to put things’. DH hangs his coats on the back of the lean to door, because he needs them quickly for the early dog walks. And his shoes are in a pile in the dinning room - because the shoe shelf is a bit tricky.
And if any one else doesn’t put their coat or shoes away, it’s well known about. Absolutely drives me crackers.

We won’t start on the floordrobe, doorrobe, beddrobe or anywhere else that’s isn’t an actual wardrobe.

If we are on any sort of tight schedule, he always needs to have a poo before we leave.

Re "hovering" mine will stand in a space where it's obvious I can't get past but won't move. Then I'll say "Excuse me" and he'll say "Oh sorry I didn't realise you wanted to get past"
No I was standing there for fun.

My DH has a habit of saying he is about to have a shower about 2 hours before we are due to go out...but then gets distracted with unneccessary chores or watching sport, I give multiple intermittent reminders "remember we need to leave at x, are you going to have a shower" and he'll go in the shower 5 min before we are leaving, and then it will be a rush to leave on time!

I love DH so much but he sometimes makes me want to throw him through the nearest window! The appearing to have listened to me but then not having a clue what I just said is a biggy! Especially when what I said was long!

Suddenly deciding to chat to me when I’m trying to watch a programme that he’s not really interested in. Yet the other way round, I will leave him to it unless it’s an emergency!

One from today! He stripped the bed first thing this morning. I went back up for a shower a bit later, got dressed and was remaking the bed, when he came upstairs because he'd forgotten something. I was sat on the edge of the bed, putting the pillowcases on. He saw me, he spoke to me, he went back downstairs. I finished and came down. I said, the bed is remade, ok he says, while staring at motorbike parts on his phone. We went out to the supermarket, went for lunch and on the way home I said, I'm going to have a nap when we get back. We'll have to make the bed back up first, he says! Blind? Blind and deaf? Am I married to a obsolete robot?! I'm beginning to wonder! 🙄🤣

DH still hasn't worked out how to work back a time you need to be somewhere in order to calculate timings. Do for example, if we need to be somewhere for 7pm and the journey takes half an hour he will think 'we need to leave at 6.30 so I will start getting ready at about 6.20'. He doesn't take into account everything that needs to be done before we leave, nor does he factor in traffic, time it takes to park and walk to the venue, get into our seats etc. We've been having the same conversation for 30 years so now I tell him we've to be somewhere half an jour before we actually do.

Loud yawn or sneeze. Tells me things like O'm going to [add trivial thing I dont need to know about]. Constant offloading. Jokes where I am the butt.

Loud performative sneezing.

Loud enough to wake the sodding dead.

Sneezing like a bomb going off.
Obsessive checking (more than once) of locks, gas etc. before we leave the house.
Other than that he’s not a bad old bugger really.

My DH has strange ideas about what can be washed down the sink. Things that don't fit down the plug hole. He does always clear it out when prompted, but I can't fathom the thought process.

And at night, he goes to bed, puts his head on the pillow, closes his eyes and then just...goes to sleep. Pure jealousy on my part, but I don't know how he does it.

😂😂
Mine is similar - it's like he swishes his food round his mouth as he chews it. Always has to be making some kind of noise, like clicking his joints as well. Sometimes I actually put in earplugs!

The fact that you've been having this conversation for 30 years doesn't bode well...! My husband and I have been having it for about 15 - does that mean I might have to endure another 15 years of him arriving late to absolutely everything?!

Delays the efficiency of putting food in the bin by having unrealised composting ambitions.

Not at all - just introduce the fake start time with immediate effect 🤭

Are we married to the same person? 🤣

Im beginning to think there's a few of us sharing the same bloke!

Sits at the kitchen table (that part is ok!) but when he gets up he pushes the chair right out and at 90 degrees and leaves it there in the middle of the room instead of pushing it back under the table.
Scream sneezing at maximum volume.
