Intentionally annoying your OH

[Shartnado]

Lighthearted - What things do you do to annoy your OH for your own amusement?

I like to incorrectly 'correct' pronunciations of words while we watch telly purely because it drives him mad. So for example on a cooking programme the chef said 'zest' to which I said to dh, 'it's pronounced j'est, it's a French word' and other such utter bollocks! Amuses me greatly

I also say shop names completely wrong on purpose or put the emphasis in the wrong place like, MatAlan, Tescos's, sporting direct etc.

Please share your little wind up ways

i take a BIG swig of tea, gulp it down as noisily as possible, and then do that big lipsmacky tongue clicky thing and go "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

and I never put fuel in the car.

Hit bumps in the road when he's a passenger, pretending I didn't see them. I think he's convinced I'm blind

Move the kitchen bin, or if it’s a little less lighthearted poke anything in a frame off square - keeps ole Adrian Monk occupied for hours.

Rearranging the order of the flour, coffee and tea canisters in the kitchen. He likes them "just so" in height order and the labels all lined up at the front. Recently I swapped the contents over so that the coffee one had tea in, just to see what would happen. He whimpered and his voice cracked and left the room. Next time I looked, they were back to their proper place, with their proper contents and nicely lined up in height order again.

But why these petty gripes? I don't mean to be pofaced and all of the examples you give in your OP are quite funny but some of the subsequent examples - and many others are coming- would make me LTB.

I've told my husband on more than one occasion that if he bought clown dolls it would be the beginning of the end for us. We laugh over it but deep down he knows it's a genuine statement - I would.

I will happily argue with DP for hours about F1 (I know next to nothing about F1, but I'm convincing)

I find it quite satisfying, him less so

Eating crisps while I'm driving and stashing sweet wrappers etc in the front door well.

Not watching endless Lovejoy reruns.

Ask him really weird questions out of the blue that are completely unrelated to whatever we've recently been talking about
OP yours have made me laugh my head off, I NEED to try that!

Oh yes and DH used to always complain at me for walking him into people, so if we are walking side by side or holding hands I walk into a gap next to someone that isn't wide enough for both of us (completely unintentional, I can be a bit in a world of my own sometimes). Now I do it on purpose.

Hah! @MsHomeSlice how could I forgot the sluuuuuurp and aaaaaaaah! I almost choke myself doing this it amuses me so much

I get right in dhs way in the kitchen as if I don't realise I'm getting right in his way. Then usually sneak a hug. I luffs him.

Drive too close to the edge of the road.- only a little bit.

Ex was a total control freak and hated being a passenger but always insisted I drive when we went out so he could drink. Every flippin’ time

I leave the wrappers from After Eights randomly placed throughout the box sneakily as we're eating them. It drives him insane.

Hahahaha my DH is a really impatient control freak, you have given me so many ideas for winding him up.

I do the random question thing though, while we're watching something. Utterly irrelevant to what's on at the time. Drives him insane.

I like to follow him around the house, walking very closely behind him at all times. It drives him daft.

Asking stupid questions about football when a game is on. "Which end are we pointing at again?" "Why do they always wear the same costume?" "If it's a draw, does that mean it was all complete waste of time?"

And if we're having a dessert, I deliberately eat mine slowly so he gets jealous I still have loads left when he's finished.

And if I make his packed lunch for work, I use DD's unicorn Tupperware.

FannyFifer 😂🤣😂

Every time we drive past a field of sheep I announce there's sheeps purely because it winds him up. It's even more satisfying as now the DC join in.

These are amazing! I can't think of any I do but my mum is the queen at this!!

She rearranged everything! Furniture from sofas to tables to lamps. Sometimes completely sometimes just a little so the table is a little further from the sofa so when you reach to put a drink you miss.

She also regularly moves everything in the kitchen cupboards. I don't know when she does this it's like some secret ninjas. None of us ever knew where things would be. The tin cupboard would be the glasses and the cutlery would be the spices.

She "forgets" things all the time.

She nods and says yes when you're telling her something important and then pretends she didn't hear you so you have to start again.

She used to make my step dads work butties up and do something to them out of "battiness" like make ham and sprinkles instead of picalilly etc

She's the queen at this game.

I open my bag of crisps UPSIDE DOWN! And eat them pretending I have no idea why he is agitated.
Whoohahahahaha

If he’s pissed me off, I’ll open his cereal box upside down. That shit grates him for weeks.

Leave hoodies and jackets in the car. Drives him bonkers.

Offer him oven chips. He hates oven chips. But eats oven fries happily.

Mix his cold beers up with warm beers when he phones on the way home from work and asks me to stick a few beers in.

Set the reminder on sky for daft prograns on saturday afternoon when he is watching sport.

Oh I remembered one I do! My husband is EXTREMELY competitive and if one of his teams is losing it's a very moody tense situation until I come along in a jolly mood and announce

"It's just a game!"

I laze around all day doing bugger all apart from spending his money. I think that annoys him
