What annoying habit does your DH/DP have?

[KayAdams]

Mine:

• Unloads a dirty dishwasher
• Puts half-full cups of coffee on the top rack of a clean dishwasher (ie one that's finished its cycle and is waiting to be unloaded) so that it spills down onto the clean plates
• Snores like a puffing billy
• Always puts the golf on the TV
• "Doesn't see the washing up" unless it's in the sink and I've walked him to it and put a dishcloth in his hand
• Weeds the garden and pulls up all the seedlings that I've carefully nurtured
• breathes

Other than that, I quite like him.

YY to permanent cold, my DP is the same. I feel sorry for him as I know he can't help it but I do sit here grinding my teeth as he blows his nose, sniffs, snores, breathes loudly....

Oh and he 'feels the cold' I'm a hot person, coupled with breastfeeding means I am often sweltering.

I spent last winter turned the heating down / opening windows when he wasn't looking and when I was out / asleep he'd wack the heating up turn the house into a bloody sauna.

^ turning

BlackNoSugar - mine does exactly that too. We'll mention going out, I'll begin the process of getting changed/doing my hair/applying makeup/choosing shoes, etc, while he puts his coat on, puts our 7 month old DS in the car and settles down to wait. I often don't realise they're there, because I'm upstairs getting ready, so by the time I make it outside DS is hysterical, throwing himself around his car seat and DP is tapping his fingers and muttering about my dawdling. Drives me absolutely crazy.

The other thing he does is tidy up obsessively, often around me, which in the past has included whipping my cup away when I put it down on a table in between sips of tea. By the time I realise and go to look for it the tea has been poured away and the cup washed. "But I thought you'd finished" he will bleat plaintively when confronted. Why? Just why?

Other than that, love him lots.

Doesn't check with our little ones to see if they need a wee before hogging the bathroom for half an hour, then moans when they want to come in for a wee.
Leaves dirty cups /plates lying around the house then moans about the state of the house.
Never hangs up the bath mat after having a bath so when you/kids stand on it, your socks get wet.
Puts a washing load on of his clothes and then just leaves it there for days and days. Then I get fed up, put it in a washing basket and it stays there for weeks. So far, there's a bagful of his washing been sat in our living room for about 6 weeks. One day he'll wonder where some of those shirts have gone.....

Oh where to start!
He walks around eating a cake or sarny and WILL NOT use a feckin plate, arrggh

We decide a time to leave the house if we are going somewhere. At the last minute he will go and have a shave!

Cuts his toenails next to the bed and doesn't pick up clippings

Its a good job I love him most of the time

Not exactly a habit....but he has the loudest face ever.

He's just been eating crisps. His mouth was closed, yet I could hear everything. It actually makes me really angry, I know it's totally irrational but it is so annoying!

Also, ignoring the very specific thing I ask him to get and getting something else. Example: asking for fat-free Greek Total yoghurt. Coming back with a Yeo Valley strawberry yoghurt. He even gets the wrong thing when I've spoken to him on the phone about it, described it in great detail, and sent him a photo! He's fucking useless when it comes to shopping.

Oh and being late for almost everything. I can do 10 things in the time it takes him to do 2 things.
I love him really

Tells me to leave the washing up at night, he'll do it! I get up the next day and 9 times out of ten it won't be done thus making me late as it needs doing before making packed lunches that day. I don't believe him anymore when he says he'll do it, it just makes my life harder when it's not done!

Mine is left handed and leaves the washing powder scoop the wrong way round in the box!! Drives me NUTS even though I should be grateful he's doing the washing

Do you reckon there's a Dadsnet where they discuss the annoying things we do? DW told me off for blowing my nose in her knickers, they were in the laundry basket anyway! WIBU?!

You know how a dog has to go round and round its bed to get settled? That! Just bloody lie still and fall asleep like a normal person!

He's a competitive hypochondriac which means I can't be ill by myself! The ONLY time he couldn't compete was when I had swine flu!!!

He even tried to get in on the act when I was pregnant...,apparently, the raspberry leaf tea gave him leg cramps such a baby!

Leaves skid marks in the toilet.
The loudest farting ever
'Ive been thinking' - usually some half baked DIY idea that makes no sense to humankind.
YY to feeling cold. Put a jumper on!
Able to do clothes laundry, but never towels/bed linen laundry. This mystifies me.
He's a very loud person when he's tipsy.

Tonight I'd forgive him anything though after a hormonal, pregnant meltdown that involved me throwing two tin openers in the bin and having to go upstairs for a little cry. He calmly washed up, waited for me to reappear, gave me a hug and watched me eat a layer of Milk Tray without judgement.

Puts the towels on top of the towel rack instead of over the rack

Takes the toilet roll off the holder to use some and then puts the roll on top of the radiator or on top of the holder

Leaves damp towels on the bed, then moans the bed covers are wet

Snores/grinds teeth/talks in his sleep

Is quite dramatic "ffs the kitchen is a mess!" When really there's a few crumbs on the side

Moans that I take ages to get ready then sits there watching telly or playing X box when he could be getting himself and DS ready so we're all ready at the same time...he doesn't seem to understand my logic

Makes a weird chewing noise when he sleeps, like he's dreaming of eating.

Rolls on top of me in bed, constantly. The night revolves around him rolling on me and me pushing him off constantly!

Empty dishwasher waiting to be filled, but puts dirty dishes in sink untill its a huge pile (doesnt scrape food off)

Apart from that he actually has alot of good habits and traits around the house!

• never ever takes bin bags to the bin store
• leaves one sheet of toilet paper on the roll
• tells me stuff like 'theres no more kitchen roll left'. Very well done for noticing, what are you telling me for? Go and buy some more!
• doesnt put the toilet lid down I CANT STAND IT
• Makes the bed by pulling the duvet up abit and chucking the pillows on top, never adjusts the matress cover or gives it a waft to air it out

TBF its actually my ExDP (2 months till the lease is up and we move out) so not doing too bad really ha ha

bakedappleflavour - oh god, the teeth grinding! Mine grinds his teeth so loudly in bed it sounds like he's chewing on gravel. I once had to wake him up as I genuinely thought that he's ground his teeth into pieces.

Djthreee I soooo get you!
DH has a hollow head im sure!. Everything he eats magnifies x 10

And the shopping too, I specifically asked him to pick up some Felix for the cat, in jelly cos thats all puss eats.
He comes back with whiskas in gravy, really pleased with himself cos it was cheaper!

?Bangs head on wall?

Watching him wrap a Christmas or birthday present is just torture, he wraps the paper around the object and puts loads of tangled pieces of sellotape on it, done. No folding or cutting or making it look presentable or anything. Though he probably finds it annoying that I fuss over the wrapping and spend money on the paper and tags when the person is just going to rip it off anyway!

He asks me questions all the time. If he gets in and doesn't know if I'm home he walks around the house calling out my name. He gets the arse when I just want him to leave me alone.

He sings all the time, he's always singing songs that get stuck in my head on a continuous loop - and it's always bloody Morrissey or Radiohead or some other whiny self involved navel gazery tripe. It's a habit he's passed on to our oldest daughter - I've either got his too cool for school music or Ed smug Sheeran whittering away.

He has just put some dirty plates in the dishwasher when the dishwasher is actually full of clean stuff that hasn't been emptied yet. I am posting this live!!

I share your pain, Mintyy - I end up shouting "Smell it! Smell the bloody thing. If you smell food it's dirty. If you smell soap it's clean!"

I've had to resort to putting post-it notes on the dishwasher, aka

This dishwasher is on. Do not touch it!
This dishwasher is clean. Empty it.
This dishwasher is dirty. Fill it.
