But not to the point where you will LTB.

My DH insists on chucking all his beer can in the black bin and not a recycle bin!

Mine leaves the bottle caps from beer on the worktop instead of putting them in the bin. WHY THOUGH?

OhBergine · 27/06/2018 15:19

Two things:

  1. Puts his boxers on top of the washbin lid.
  2. Uses, but NEVER washes the cafetière
PitterPatterOfBigFeet · 27/06/2018 15:19

Not just getting ready to be out on time. Every single bloody time:

8:00 am

ME "we need to leave by 10 to catch the train"
HIM "OK fine"
ME "seriously we need to walk out the door at 10 or we'll miss the train"
HIM "OK OK I know"

9:58 a.m.

HIM: "I'm just going to have a shower and shave"
ME: "WTF you don't have time we need to go"
HIM: "But I'll be so uncomfortable all day? you mean I seriously can't have a shower, I'm going to smell and feel gross"

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 27/06/2018 15:20

Chews food that does not require chewing. Like soup...

divadee · 27/06/2018 15:20

Takes a 40-60 minute shit every morning. And my god it grates my cheese. He gets arsey if you dare knock on the door and say you need the bathroom.

He also uses an obscene amount of loo roll. Obviously linked to the above Grin

Battleax · 27/06/2018 15:21

Oh Lordy. Where to start.

Running his finances based on strange and shifting gut feelings has got to be right up there.

BinkyTheBlinky · 27/06/2018 15:22

Leaving cupboards and drawers wide open.

What is that?!

martapolska2 · 27/06/2018 15:22

Jajaja that would grate my cheese to lmoa

Keeps loads of old horrible old clothes for decorating, which he rarely does but insists on throwing nothing away and the we end up buying more cupboards to keep this old tat in

AlpacaPicnic · 27/06/2018 15:24

Eats his lunch way later than I do.
My lunch break at work is either 12 or 1pm.
His is more close to 3pm.
So if we are going out for lunch my mental idea of lunchtime is a lot earlier than his. So I'll be climbing the walls with hunger and he'll be oblivious, or I'll think he's changed his mind, make lunch and then he'll pop up and say 'oh, well I was going to just get ready but now you've had lunch's

I've had to learn to be very specific about times!

BigSandyBalls2015 · 27/06/2018 15:25

Pitter Patter - my DH is exactly the same! Drives me nuts. I remind him and give him time updates … makes no difference. I really don't get how it can be so difficult.

LightAsTheBreeze · 27/06/2018 15:31

Leaving stuff to the last minute, we have known for 3 months that our email accounts were going to be no more today. DH had left his, even though I kept reminding him and then there was a mad panic last night as he had 4000 emails to go through to see what he had to keep and forward on as they would all disappear today

6demandingchildren · 27/06/2018 15:31

Divadee I feel your pain as my dh is exactly the same.

VeryFoolishFay · 27/06/2018 15:36

Makes a huge drama about how he's 'scrubbed' the kitchen (ie wiped the worktops) but never empties or cleans the sink or wipes chopping boards etc. Just leaves them in a pile by the sink. Uses the dustpan and brush, brushes the muck into a little pile and leaves it there. Leaves his shoes in the middle of the bedroom, where they are right in my way! Leaves all his work stuff on the dining room table. If I have emptied the bathroom bin and not yet put it back, he just drops rubbish on the floor in the place where the bin lives. Always cooks too much food then leaves it out uncovered so it has to be thrown away. Brings home food shopping and leaves it in bags on the kitchen table. Leaves teatowels that need washing in a corner on the kitchen floor rather than putting them in the laundry bin. Actually he's not too bad really but I see a pattern - its the not finishing jobs that drives me mad. 'leaving' items is the common thread!

M00nUnit · 27/06/2018 15:37

Leaves beer cans/bottles etc. on the side instead of in recycling

Never puts anything in the dishwasher (unless his sons are staying with us - he's much tidier then)

Puts his pants on top of the laundry basket instead of in it

LastOneDancing · 27/06/2018 15:38

He puts greasy pans on the side with water in 'to soak'.
I've been a grown up and asked him not too because that's not how fat works. He persists.

Also, he can't open a bag. He rips a big flap down the side like an animal, meaning the remaining peas/nuts/whatever fall out all over the place.

But he is lovely.

woolythoughts · 27/06/2018 15:40

Is neat to the point of obsessiveness and moans if I leave even a crumb on the work top – he’s naturally neat freak and I’m naturally slob

Won’t come down for breakfast and be there when its ready. He’s well up and about. “Honey, just about to do the eggs/assemble the rolls/make the tea/whatever the last task is”….. “ok”…. Repeat two or three times until “get your arse down here its out” and he finally makes an appearance. Winds me up something chronic.

Always has to have the newest car – so if I change mine it immediately means we change both!

nosleepnosense · 27/06/2018 15:42

lightasthebreeze mine does this too!! Hates buying new clothes as well so there will be one inevitable day where all his clothes are 'decorating clothes'.

Mine: leaves used knife e.g.with butter on balanced precariously on top of butter tub

LoveHateLove · 27/06/2018 15:44

He always always leaves his dirty knife on the worktop when he's made a sandwich or some toast or something - it would take him 10 seconds to put it in the dishwasher but he never does and then there's marmalade stuck all over the worktop.

He's never loaded, switched on or unloaded the dishwasher in the 6 years we've lived here...Hmm

Flooffloof · 27/06/2018 15:46

Sometimes he breathes.
Gets my fookin goat when he does.

At other times he turns lights and fan off, when I will be about 30seconds away from 're entering the now dark and humid room.
Bastard.
Pah, the menopause is not going well

cleofatra · 27/06/2018 15:47

leaves his shoes everywhere
is greedy
constantly calls me into the room he is watching TV in to "come and look at this" when I am watching my own shows
is on the bloody phone when we are out eating together
never ever comments on how I look when I am dressed up and doesn't look when I ask if I look ok
leaves crap all over the kitchen benchtops after I've cleaned
moans about the house being untidy but does NOTHING in or around the house to help
og god, I have a lot . I actually do like him though :)

StillNoClue · 27/06/2018 15:48

He's a heavy breather. It really does get my goat up. 😤

cleofatra · 27/06/2018 15:48

Oh and also the "going in for the boob grab"

baxterboi · 27/06/2018 15:49

Most of mine are already listed

  1. Putting recyclables in the regular bin
  2. Allergy to the dishwasher (loading and unloading)
  3. Doesn't eat all day and then when I don't want dinner 5 seconds after getting home from work he get's "hangry".
heatherblue · 27/06/2018 15:51

Incapable of looking for things. His idea of looking for something is to stand in the middle of the room turning slow circles.
Never puts a new loo roll in the holder, just leaves the empty one there with a new one balanced carefully on top.
