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!

Empties bags of shopping then shoves the empty bags in random places around the kitchen... Down the side of the bread basket, between the utensil pots etc.

Leaves kitchen cupboards and drawers open.

Never puts his clean clothes away so there's a constant huge pile in the corner of the bedroom.

Asks me where the 'thingy' is and expects me to know what that means. He'll actually get cross that I don't know what a 'thingy' is!

Flylight are you me?
Mine does this and I detest it, along with many many other things mentioned on this thread.

Wash hands in kitchen sink, shakes them before using the towel, all over the fucking windows.

Takes ages having a shit in the morning, won't use a loo brush but has a manky plastic tumbler he fills with hot water to shift the skid marks

Sorry that made me laugh findthegap. Actually DH is very much the same. Always keeps me waiting at the door or sat in the car while he checks the iron is off/the dog is shut in the study ( or the alarm will go off ) runs upstairs to make sure the windows are closed. ALWAYS 😖

Accountant222 · 27/06/2018 21:49

Says ridiculous things:-

Me, quick get some kitchen roll the dog is being sick.

Him, what do you mean the dog is being sick.

@brightspark1
Gosh, thought it was just mine that did that.

And he brings the washing in before it's dry... as well as always putting the washing machine on at 60°C and not checking to see if there is other stuff that needs to be washed.... especially annoying as he does this when I have been intending to put a wash on.
And I notice someone else has a DH who can't screw lids on jam jars / bottles etc.... I've lost count of the number of times I've picked something up to put away only to discover that the lid is just "sitting" on the pot - not actually closed.

Really surprised that as far as I can tell no one has mentioned taking the bag full of rubbish out of the kitchen bin... and failing to replace the bag with a new one.... when I take the rubbish out I always put a new bag in before I leave the kitchen so I don't forget to do it.

Faffing in the bathroom on his days off when I have to leave for work - I stay out of his way when it's the other way around...

And on a personal level (TMI): stripping off for a shower and then standing butt naked in the kitchen scratching his sweaty arse so that the smell lingers long after he's left the room.... even the DS have commented to me about this one....

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 27/06/2018 21:55

Does 3 shits every morning. Completely takes over the fridge. I remember when DS2 had packed lunches, there was a tip on MN about having an area of the fridge where all the packed lunch stuff goes. Not a fucking chance.

StyleOfTheTimes · 27/06/2018 22:00

Wow so many of us suffer the same annoyances on a daily basis 🤣 the things I find most annoying about my dh is he’ll let me make an important decision but then if it goes wrong/ has an unwanted outcome he’ll be the big I am saying “oh yeah I knew that would happen” really!!?? Why the fuck didn’t you chime in then!? He’ll also ask me where things are the night before he needs them or just as he’s about to go to work. I do love him though, he’s just turning me grey and bitter lol.

juicygirly · 27/06/2018 22:11

Does the extra long shit in the morning Grin

Is really moody when he's starving 🙄

is a really happy BRIGHT SHINY Morning Person Hmm

Has a penchant for buying soft toys for the Dds every time we are out which makes their room look like a bloody build a bear workshop

I'm sat here looking at him trying to think of more while he's happily chatting away to his friend on the phone and I'm starting to feel a bit mean

AragonsGirl · 27/06/2018 22:14

Every time we have people coming to stay and I attempt to wrestle the house into some sort of order he says “it’s only your parents/my parents”...I want to batter him with the hoover every time

Tinkobell · 27/06/2018 22:46

DH's sex initiation is always "should we pop upstairs?" .....some variety pleeeease!

Tinkobell · 27/06/2018 22:49

DH has never refereed to my DP's by their first names.....they've always been "Your parents". He has even said "Your parents" when they were standing in the same room ....very rude!

worstmovieever · 27/06/2018 22:54

Too many to list...Confused

HyacinthsBucket70 · 27/06/2018 22:58

Oh god where to start.......

Chewing food like he's eating a brick. Soup. Porridge. We went out for lunch yesterday and he actually put me off my food.

Sneezing like it's an olympic sport. And making as many people jump as possible. Even people who live 10 houses away.
The complete inability to see dirt. I've been ill for a week and in hospital. No one has put washing on, hoovered, or done any cleaning. There are 4 adults living here and it's a fucking shithole. But his car is clean and his fucking golf kit.

I can feel my blood pressure rising so I'm stopping now.

catx1606 · 27/06/2018 22:58

Puts rubbish on the counter rather than the bin
When the rubbish bag is full, he'll just get another bag out and hang it by the full one rather than take the full one out.
Never puts anything back where he got it from.
Buys new clothes, wears them to work on the car etc so gets them filthy then moans when he has nothing nice to wear for something despite being told numerous times to keep something nice for going out.
Leaving everything to the last minute. Whenever he was working away, he would wait until 10 minutes before leaving to suddenly announce what needs to go in his bag

DroningOn · 27/06/2018 22:59

Uses the hand towel in the kitchen to wipe and dry his dirty mitts after a quick splash under the tap........ Use fucking soap and my towels will last more than an hour before needing washed! Aaargh!!!

DroningOn · 27/06/2018 23:04

Ooooh, another one, flushes the downstairs loo but doesn't shut the door when he comes out so the slow filling noisy cistern gurgles and farts away to itself and you can hear it throughout the whole downstairs..... Even more irritating if you're on the phone or watching TV.

Nomorechickens · 27/06/2018 23:05

The washing up / dishwasher thing. DH doesn't 'approve' of dishwashers (despite admitting to using it every day when I went away for 2 weeks) so he passively aggressively undermines the washing up from time to time.
Ie the dishwasher needs emptying and restacking, dry things in the draining rack put away, and a couple of pans washed by hand. What does he do? Wash up by hand all the things that could go in the dishwasher, stacking them precariously on top of the already clean things in the rack, putting the rest directly on the drainer where they stay wet. Doesn't bother washing the pans that don't go in the dishwasher. Leaves a few pots unwashed in the washing up bowl.
What do I then have to do? Unload the dishwasher, carefully unload the overfull draining rack, restack the things that didn't drain, empty the washing up bowl,wash up the washing up bowl which is covered in congealed grease and scum, wash the pans... Ie twice as much work as if he hadn't done any washing up.
This has been going on for decades. I'm almost getting to the stage where I can't be bothered to get annoyed about it.

madcatladyforever · 27/06/2018 23:08

None, he's been cut up and buried under the patio.

Mississippilessly · 27/06/2018 23:08

I’ve thought of more:

Pooing with the bathroom door open
Asking ‘what do you mean’ to things that have very simple, one-dimensional meanings
Always contesting that things need cleaning

SleightOfMind · 27/06/2018 23:17

Steals my socks and pokes holes in the toes with his huge feet.

Always answers a phone call from me with: ‘Hello, it’s just me.’

Gets marmite in the butter and vice versa.

When we work from home, he always walks in on me when I’m having a break so it looks like I do nothing all day.

Is very good at everything else work/money/domestic stuff/DC so I can’t justifiably act annoyed without being a petty fucker Angry

FrozenMargarita17 · 27/06/2018 23:30

I forgot one.

If I ask him to do something he will say 'five minutes'

FUCKING DO IT NOW JESUS H CHRIST

tigercub50 · 27/06/2018 23:32

There is a list but to be honest, things are so much better than they used to be that I’m loath to share it. One thing that really frustrates me though is the not listening. And often he gives every sign of having listened so it’s even worse when he has no idea what I’m talking about! Apparently this is very common.

tigercub50 · 27/06/2018 23:32

And why does he never clean the kitchen surfaces?!
