How can I stop my husband 'signing off' phone calls to me with 'all the best!' It makes me want to strangle him! He's older than me and it's usually when he clicks into work mode, or there is someone around that can hear him on the phone, but AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH Sorry, just needed to vent.

Trust you Worra PMSL.

Your DH seems lovely :)

My DH is due home from work in an hour

I may greet him with the word "Salutations" and then give him my best come to bed eyes Grin

My dh ends e-mails to friends with sayings like
Just another asshole.
I am not sure what's better!

My ex used to sign TEXTS "Grace and Peace, X'sName" or "Blessings, X'sName" :o

My current DP says 'love you beautiful, bye' and he's a tradesman at work! :o Vomit, I know but I loves it :o

Singaporeswing - I get that too when DH sends me an email from his work address - he's been Told, but it still happens occasionally.

I get more annoyed by what he says when I answer the phone to him - he always starts off with "How're you going" (Aussie) - even if he's just left the house/ spoken to me a couple of minutes before. Sarcasm doesn't work (tried) so I just skate over it - but it's worse at the end of the phonecall when all you have is a dead line to whinge at! Grin
DH nearly always signs off with "see you later" which is generally going to be the case, so it doesn't rankle (does kind of annoy me when he says it to shop assistants though... )

That stuck me as hilariously funny for some reason! Grin

Oh dear, slight emotions overkill there, sorry!

my sister once got a valentine card from her then boyfriend, who wrote:

to jane

from

dave smith

(obviously I've substituted the real names!)

Cos if he had just written dave, she would be wondering "dave who?" and never be able to work out who the valentine was from. Grin

Well he'll not be sure if I'm looking at him or waiting for the dog to finish his shit and come in from the garden.....

QuickLookBusy · 17/07/2012 00:06

Worra, I've just woken my dh with laughing.

I need to go to sleep too, but will be chuckling all night Grin

WorraLiberty · 17/07/2012 00:08

Haha! Grin

numbum · 17/07/2012 00:20

Hahaha I've always nodded and chuckled at worra whilst assuming she is a real life friend of mine!!

Ha at Worra! My DH always says my attempts at looking sexy are similar to the signs of someone having a stroke Hmm

But OP you just need to bollock him until he stops. My DH picked up "okey dokey" from someone at work for a while, I can't explain it but when he said it, well it was like a red rag to a bull I would seeth and lose all concentration. Then fuck me if he said it again before I'd cooled down I'd go ape shit. Now he daren't say it.

Also he went through a phase of saying Good Morning to me in a vet formal way which I had to bollock him out of.

I'm such an evil bitch, but to be fair it is fucking annoying.

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 17/07/2012 00:37

Good Luck with trying to get any of them to change Grin

SmaugTheDragon · 17/07/2012 17:28

My husband often finishes his text messages to me with 'Kind Regards' it's only when he's in work mode and I just tease him about it.

Aladdinsania · 17/07/2012 17:56

Alan Sugar apparently once sent his wife a birthday card signed "Best wishes, Sir Alan Sugar."

SkivingAgain · 17/07/2012 18:04

My DH phones me at work and always asks me what I'm wearing I usually answer divers helmet and tutu which I don't find particularly annoying. But what I DO find irritating is listening to him on the phone to work colleagues.

He'll say their name at least once in every sentence and it really grates on my nerves, no idea if they also find it very annoying. Then, when he puts the phone down he'll tell me "that was Dave/Chris/whoever..." Hmm

Freshletticia · 17/07/2012 22:15

Mine came home today and asked what time we were going to be going away for the weekend on Friday.
I said 'earlyish'
He said nearly fucking strangled him ' well I don't see why we can't get away early if we get all our ducks in a row '
Aaarrgghh, I knew this new job was a bad idea.....

Freshletticia · 17/07/2012 22:15

nearly fucking strangled him pah.
