What would your DP say are your most annoying habits (lighthearted)

Inspired by this weekend's thread* by @femalefootyfan - what do you think your DP would say you do which drives them up the wall?

I'll start - he'd probably say

  • can never decide what to watch so spends 15 minutes scrolling on the menu before choosing the same thing as always (Taskmaster repeats)
  • moans about being cold while sitting in a tshirt and shorts with the radiator off (in my defence I feel too cold to move)
  • makes weird little huffy noises when stressed. I know this is properly annoying because my work bff takes the piss out of it too 😫

I moan a lot after calling my mum.
I police the amount of biscuits he eats.
I often sit late, then can’t fall asleep and wake him up to moan about it.
I worry too much.
I use too much hot water for washing up.

I wear trainers without socks.

I moan about his favourite songs, especially those performed by nasal male Australian voices.

I get "all Christmassed out" very easily, and I mutter that Scrooge was right.

I do too many (optional) activities, and moan about how busy I am.

I like to be blindfolded and in the room while he wraps my presents. (Actually we both love this, but sometimes he thinks I'm "watching" him, even though I assure him that I can't see a thing.)

I don't laugh at jokes about people being too weak to say "no", who get roped into things they don't want to do; so I often don't laugh at Keeping Up Appearances.

@scalt "I do too many (optional) activities, and moan about how busy I am"
Same. Last week I made plans to go out every night of the week then moaned every morning to him about how much I wanted a quiet night in in front of the fire 😂

My shoes addiction

My trainers addiction (trainers are not "shoes")

He can't be annoyed I am completely unable to spend a day stuck at home, he's worst (even if he denies it 😂)

My preference for a "visitor-ready" house at all time, so you just do things there and then. He finds it annoying I can't just leave stuff for an hour (what's the point, we'll end up doing it anyway!)
