What minor things does your partner do that quietly annoy you?

[SandyY2K]

This is a lighthearted thread inspired by a similar topic on another forum. I found that I resonated with so many of them.

What things does your partner do that your find annoying, but not so much to make a big fuss about.

A couple of mine (there are more 😃) that DH does are washing his plate after a meal, but leaving the cutlery he used in the sink.

Another is talking to me from another room our upstairs.. and somehow getting upset when I say I can't hear him

He can't wash his hands without leaving the bathroom looking like a tsunami hit it.
Leaving crumbs on the worktop.

He leaves cupboard doors open. Why?? I asked him in the absence of closing them himself, who exactly does he think should be his cupboard door closer? Just fucking close them yourself! Maddening

He flicks the top of cans before opening them. It’s so annoying.

New cup for every cuppa!

DH chews his fingernails, with accompanying sound effects. Drives me bonkers. He would say I do the taking to him from another room a PP mentioned.

From DW's perspective its the fact of my existence

Leads wardrobe doors open. Cupboards open. Says random words at the top of his voice. Almost like a tic. Has ketchup with everything.

He uses the word "gloom" for darkness. I hate it and have for the past 20 years! Ditto "trivial" when he means straightforward.

Asks me where things are constantly even though he was the one who put them down so how the fuck should I know?

Leaves his mugs in the sink and doesn’t even consider putting them in the dishwasher because ‘he might need them later’

Forgets when DC are being punished for something and spoils them anyway

Starts EVERYTHING he says with “erm” just fucking speak!!

Locks EVERY single bastard door that he goes through. Me following him with washing to peg out or rubbish for the bins, I have to find the key and unlock with stuff in hand. We are all in, all of us, in and out of the back door, just leave it unlocked.

Breathing so fucking loudly, no need.

Leaves things lying round, so will leave a drill/screw driver set, Amazon empty box, empty postal envelope on the side or sofa or coffee table for days/weeks/months. Walks past them on the way to the garage or bins but leaves them there.

Needs to have 3 shits a day, will take up the bathroom for ages or as we are about to leave or when someone needs to clean their teeth, if he eats anything even slightly spicy, then is on the toilet more.

Sees absolutely nothing wrong with dumping crap at the side of the house and never disposing of it. We currently have old skirting boards, an old washing line, an old broken plastic goal posts just shoved at the side of the garage, he has finally decided to do a tip run.

So many things.

Always washing his hands when I need to wash mine more so the water pressure is shite for me!!!

on the one hand he’s just made me spag Bol, on the other hand, he used too small a pan for the spaghetti and cuts it up with a knife and fork….

Leaves all the kitchen cupboard doors wide open after emptying the dishwasher.
Leaves the wardrobe doors wide open so my jumpers get eaten by moths.
Leaves crumbs all over the worktop.
Leaves streaks of tea down the wall next to the bin when chucking away teabags.
Gets distracted laughing at stupid AI shit on FB so the dinner he's promised to produce burns to fuck.

I'm guilty of the leaving kitchen cupboards open.
DW leaves empty bottles,finished tubes on the bathroom shelf for the tidy up fairy to dispose of (me).

He leaves the kettle in the middle of the worktop. Yep, you read that right - instead of returning it back to its home on its little base, he’ll just plonk it down. In the middle of the god damn worktop.

At least yours leaves the crumbs on the worktop. I've actually stood there and watched mine sweep them to the floor and then it's like he thinks they disappear 😡 good job I 1 love him and 2 don't own a patio🤭

Crumbs here too. Worktop and floor. I've never known anybody make such a godawful mess making a sandwich or two! 😩

ETA: maybe @Devilsmommy's DH is twinned with him!

See my first post. Sandwich is bad but toast😱

@NoWordForFluffy sounds bloody likely. If yours also sounds like a fucking chainsaw when asleep I'm going to assume we've got the same husband 😂

He will wash the pots/his hands/ anything really, but he doesn't dry his hands or use a door handle, so my polished wooden doors always have imprints of his wet fingers all over them. It drives me mad.

Uses about 5 tea towels at once.

Eats yoghurt with a big spoon

Leaves his shoes by the garage door,I use garage constantly

Won’t take a tablet if he has a headache, but will moan about said headache

He is the recycling police (not really that bad but it just annoys me)

Can’t find anything

Gives me good advice when I just wan’t to be irrational for 5 mins

The kids like him better than me 😂 (little traitors)

I’m mad about him though ❤️

LTB.
😄

He does! 😱😱🤣🤣

Breath

I'm sorry, he's married to me too.
