Mine is for referring to the 69 position as 'summer of 69ing' and condoms ss 'rubber johnnies'.

It just made my skin crawl and there was no coming back from that!

I didn't like one of his coats. (But I was only 18 so valid reason)

tattychicken · 02/02/2015 03:17

He couldn't spell and had bubble writing.

MsFanackerPants · 02/02/2015 04:13

He had a Beatles print button up shirt and told me all about it as if I could have failed to notice repeat Yellow Submarine print.

NotLoveActually · 02/02/2015 04:57

He didn't know how to chop an onion at 28 years old

I don't care that this is a zombie thread. It's fucking brilliant.

I once dumped a bloke when I found out he coudn't drive. And another because he wore medical scrubs as pyjamas.

My sister sending my son some T shirts which were too big. The bitch.

Mushypeasandchipstogo · 02/02/2015 10:11

He wore pyjamas in bed and used to cover himself in talcum powder every morning.Shock

Really?? I think those things can look super sexy on the right bloke!

Am assuming he wasn't George Clooney or Noah Wyle Grin

PassTheGinBottle · 02/02/2015 18:27

He wasn't.

And they weren't sexy.

He was a trainee accountant Hmm

Sorrybutilikekatie · 02/02/2015 18:35

He was too nice.

islurpmyspaghetti · 02/02/2015 19:10

His favourite film was Rocky IV.

purpleponcho · 02/02/2015 20:20

He expected me to be impressed by the tacky red sports car he'd borrowed from his brother for our date.

CalleighDoodle · 02/02/2015 20:49

Small penis.

Arrived to frst date wearing a waistcoat.

MrsSchadenfreude · 02/02/2015 20:52

He wore thin light beige socks that made his feet look as if they (and he) were dead.

storynanny2 · 02/02/2015 21:06

He told me he did his laundry only once a week and one day I was at his house when said laundry was being hung up to dry. There were only 2 pairs of pants!

He said things about Morrissey.

OP asked for TRIVIAL reasons, not utterly justifiable ones/massive red flags

CruCru · 02/02/2015 21:38

He had bad tattoos.

A couple of years ago around Christmas time a woman wanted to return her used menstral cup to Boots as it didn't fit.

What has that got to do with this thread that is 8 years old?!

He looked like the talking statue head puppet thing from art attack. Oh and he tried the old, "oh sorry is that the wrong hole?" thing during sex. Oh and he drove while drunk.

Why did I go out with him in the first place? He had a really, really big knob! (I'd already seen it due to him being a rugby player. Why do they always get naked in pubs? )

That wrong hole thing is probably classed as rape now...certainly felt like it

He collected Buffy merchandise and wouldn't open any of it.
He wore hiking boots all the time.
He wore a Claddagh (sp?) ring.
He wore a long leather coat.

DH is starting to really piss me off with his trivial things:
He slurps and gnashes his teeth together when he eats cereal.
The face he pulls when he's angry.
He leaves the loo roll on top of the cistern (why???!!!)
The way he cleans his ears with cotton buds.
The way he puts sugar in a cup.

I could go on.

it omg my husband does do many things divorce worthy
He loudly hoiks loogies on the toilet (we lived in a bungalow so no escape)
He puts mayonnaise bottles which are meant to be top down the wrong way up (this has to be to piss me off. I tell him every time)
He leaves his wet towel on my side of the bed
He sometimes smells like he's rotting from the inside, he's a very clean person so im worried its tooth decay or some horrid illness
Before the queen died his favorite thing to say was "they should skip Charles and go straight to wills and kate" for the throne

He spells through as "threw"
He dramatically pulls the covers off during sex. I now cling onto them gor dear life so he cant
