Things that DH does that annoy the hell out of you?

[SarahLibra1974]

Name three;

1. He constantly flushes wet wipes down the loo.

1. He never gives a straight answer.

1. He will always try to please his bosses at work, even if it affects his family time, or time with me.

Go!

@Tunnocks34 my husband calls it Mataland too, makes me MURDEROUS!!

Mine has the annoying habit of putting rubbish near the bin instead of in it. (the bin is actually closer than the kitchen counter he dumps on - though at least rubbish makes it to the kitchen!)
Uses every utensil we own to cook with, then never tidies/cleans them (excuses are either 'I'll do it later' or 'I cooked so you should clean' though the opposite never happens)
Also never scrapes leftover food into the bin, but the plate always manages to make its way into the sink to be washed - disgusting wet food in the bowl makes me heave. If his plate doesn't need scraping in the bin it's always left next to said bin!
I know you said three, those were three I can live with - this last one makes me want to crack his head open with his dirty plates!
Comes home from work, tells me we are going out for tea with PIL in an hour, to a place that's at least half an hour away - cue me rushing like a dick to get me and DS ready whilst he sits there in his stinking dirty work clothes for 25minutes then spends another 10 moaning about needing wash, eventually has one, moans about no clothes (he's worse than a woman for clothing dilemmas!) finally comes downstairs and moans that me and DS aren't ready because DS is playing with a toy or watching tv. Moans that we are already late when we eventually get in the car - then moans at me to not be moody when we get there as it's embarrassing! (For context, on these occasions I am in a mood because I don't actually want to go out on an hours notice - he knows this from my moaning about it yet once a week, every fucking week, it happens and I can never get ready in anticipation as its a different day all the time!) And the comment to not be in a mood puts me in a bigger mood!
I don't mind going out with them but for fuck sake at least give me a day! For once I'd like to meet up with them looking half decent instead of greasy hair in a bun and no make up! They must think I'm a tramp!

1. Will start changing our youngest DC nappy, without getting the wipes and new nappy first, so takes the dirty one off then will ask whoever is around to get the wipes and new nappy all the while the two year old is wriggling round trying to escape. Does it EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME!!!!

2.Will do a couple of loads of washing while I’m at work then tells me he’s done some washing FOR ME when I get home. When I ask if he didn’t have anything in it then I get accused of being funny!

1. Puts a clean T-shirt on when he gets changed after work, wears for an hour or so before changing into PJS, then leaves it lying around in the bedroom instead of either hanging back up or putting in the wash basket.

1. We have a white wash basket and a dark wash basket, still can’t manage to separate the washing properly

1. When doing the occasional load of washing (for me ), if there isn’t quite a full load of darks will fill it with some whites so there is now a full load

1. When transferring washing from washer to drier doesn’t check that everything can actually go in the drier, many a t-shirt that now stops at belly button level

On the whole he is amazing and does equal parenting to me, and his fair share of housework but these things just give me he rage

DP: Where's XYZ?
Me: In the top right drawer
DP: Where in the drawer?
Me: It's a drawer... Look!

Other stuff

• Using MY towels for various things. We've been together 5 years, you know by now the TURQUOISE towels are mine
• Never listens properly especially when he's on his phone
• Can't do more than one thing at once. Literally anything!

ONLY 3???

1. willingly clears up the kitchen after he has cooked but never sweeps/hoovers the floor

2. doesn’t open his post

3. is basically Walter Mitty

I am laughing so hard at some of these. If I could single out a few of my DHs more annoying habits they would be:
a) forgetting things the second after I say them e.g Me - “can you put the bin out on your way out?” DH - leaves house, walks straight past bins, gets into car, drives off.
b) cannot put dirty laundry in the laundry basket. If I’m lucky it goes on top of the lid, more usually in a heap at the bottom of the stairs.
c) starts doing random stuff at inappropriates times, e.g. yesterday started rearranging rocks round the pond as we getting ready to leave for a family party. Then shouts at everyone that we’re going to be late. Then usually comes back into the house for a poo just as we’re leaving.
d) has the worst sense of direction in the world, but always blames me if we get lost going somewhere.

I love love love my husband...

1 have up smoking but now is addicted to Nicorette lozenges.... a pack a day for over two years.

2 Leaves the tab top from the milk on the side in the kitchen. Ive begged and pleaded for him to at least put it a foot to the right on the teabag pile, but he never does.

3 all the gear and no idea. So many hobbies and tools around... charity shop books, two copies of loads of books as he forgets what he has! And won't take any back to the charity shop!

Lives here.
I am sure we would get on great if he lived down the road...

Nodding my head at lots of this but love him to bits!

1. Quick to tell me when I need to change something about my behaviour ( the biggy is me shouting at DD) but gets defensive when I try to tell him ( biggy for me is him reacting childishly in certain situations).
2. What a pp said about never remembering who people are, even when he’s known them for years!
3. Talking to me, responding,then later he’s completely oblivious about what we discussed! Drives me crackers!

Wow, so many men seem to do the faffing/doing random activity at inappropriate time rather than the necessary activity. I thought it was just my DH!

DH faffs for England & my DF is exactly the same! I really can’t imagine what they do! DH will be all set to go then “ just pop” back into the house & has been known to take another 20 minutes!

Half does jobs

Just
Keeps
Breathing...

1. Gathers up any paper lying around and puts it all in a heap, no matter what it is. So, the pile of forms I have to fill in for school are currently sitting in said heap, mixed in with scraps of paper the kids have scribbled on, empty envelopes, junk mail, other important letters...
2. Faffs. I can get me and 5 kids ready to leave the house in less time than he can organise himself. Which means we stand about like idiots wearing coats, hats, scares, wellies, whatever, while he faffs.
3. Asks me "where were you earlier when I phoned?" Well, darling, if you'd listened to the conversation we had last night, you'd know ds1 had a hospital appointment, then I was going to asda. Or, you could have checked the shared online calendar, which contains absolutely everything that me or the dc do.

Snores, really loudly (we have to sleep in separate rooms and I still can hear him) and I hate it when he's eating crunchy stuff like Rice Krispies. Oh and I'm pretty much certain he gets a man period, he's grouchy and whingy about once a month. Other than that he's OK

1: Eats my chocolate ( this is a deal breaker, especially when it was my huge, hoarded bar of Lindt fruit and nut that I'd bought in Vienna).

2: Will not, ever, take a bin up to the bathroom.

3: Puts stuff in a random bin in the kitchen as opposed to the recycling.

4: Goes truffling in the fridge when there is no need for him to.

Bastard
Cunting
"Puh"

On every single exhale when asleep.

Snoring.
That’s why I’m on Mumsnet right now, in the spare room, almost weeping with exhaustion.

1. Dramatic sneezing - will suck up the air for ages, then goes, very loudly 'WAAACHOOOOO' - No fucking need whatsoever

1. If he is making food and tells me to stay out the kitchen he will open the creaky livingroom door at least 10 times to ask me questions about how to actually cook the meal. I.e 'should I put salt in?' 2 minutes later 'shall I do x with it's, 2 minutes later 'how long should I put it in the oven' 2 minutes later 'shall I put x in it' JUST USE YOUR FUCKING INITIATIVE

1. Works in a job when he has to speak in front of groups of people on a daily basis, but will never ask for the bill in a restaurant

All very minor and I do love him so much.

And I guess his list would be much longer than mine 😂😂

He pronounces calcium as "Kel-see-um" and it makes me want to stab him in the eye

Cannot let a correct statement pass without contradicting me, being wrong, and then getting upset when it becomes clear I'm right.

Heres my top three: 1. Sniffs and clears throat constantly but not when other people around. 2. Wakes up at the tiniest movement from me and snores. 3. Eats noisely after collecting small pieces from all over the plate head down and shovels it all in and then the same again without a break. Disgusts me no end. Just want to get a large funnel and tip his whole dinner down it into his throat.

And another... won't agree ti live next door to eachother.... so unreasonable right?

If I am going to Aldi or Lidl consistently asks me to pick up things that just will not be there. Bread flour, bicycle pumps, provolone, children's shoes etc. etc. Not stuff he's seen will be in the 'specials', just stuff that he thinks I should have a dig around for because 'they might have them'.

Is from a very blunt culture, not so much into compliments (which is fine) but will turn around to me in public and loudly say 'I think you're getting a load of huge spots on your nose' (less fine)

Very fussy eater. Great cook but very, very limited range of foods he will eat and is not allergic to. And it's all fat bastard food as well, which is fine for him because he doesn't really put on weight but I am getting porcine and we probably need to stop eating the same meals
