Intentionally annoying your OH

294 replies

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 Grin

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 Grin

These are great. I have a new purpose in life.

zebrarobot · 24/08/2018 21:28

I come upstairs and turn the 'big' light on, get in bed, then wait for him to
come up and get cosy in bed and then ask him to turn the light off.

KeiTeNgeNge · 24/08/2018 21:28

But why do that? If I did things like that to my DH to menit would mean I didn’t like him much.

KeiTeNgeNge · 24/08/2018 21:28

Bloody autocorrect

GiraffeObsessedBaby · 24/08/2018 21:29

@zebrarobot I do that too 😂 we also have a stair gate we have to close or the dogs pace up and down all night. I also wait until he's back in bed from the light to remind him about that

Shartnado · 24/08/2018 21:29

Creep up behind him and hug him when he is concentrating on something.
Ask him questions just as he falls a sleep... like "babe, do you believe in the after life" or announce I have something important to tell him and tell him it's so serious and to not be cross etc etc then say "love u night" pisses the man off so much.

GiraffeObsessedBaby · 24/08/2018 21:31

Thank you @Shartnado this has thoroughly amused me and made my night.

JaretsGirlfren · 24/08/2018 21:31

This isn’t me, this is my DP. I texted him saying I really fancied some cheesecake... next thing I know he’s sent me a photo of himself eating cheesecake which he bought especially to eat in front of me Grin

JessicaPeach · 24/08/2018 21:31

I like pointing out how good programmes look in HD, saying ‘look how clear the picture is, it’s amazing!’ Whenever we are on a non hd channel. We both know I know but he can’t help but correct me, just can’t stop himself!

Alldaylong1 · 24/08/2018 21:31

Pretend football punditry Grin

optimusprimesmother · 24/08/2018 21:32

Ha ha quality!

I say the words to adverts or films about three seconds before they say it. I’ve done it for 8 years now and as soon as I say even one little line I can see his eye bulging Grin

He genuinely thinks it’s is a real habit I can’t help but if I do it in a fake accent he tells me to fuck off Grin

Shartnado · 24/08/2018 21:33

@GiraffeObsessedBaby I'm so glad I asked now! I worried people might just think I was a strange one and ignore me haha!!

Nah! This is the fun and games my family have been doing for generations. Light hearted amusement that shows our love in irritating and stupid ways. Who needs romance pah!

RadioDorothy · 24/08/2018 21:35

Oh oh, I forgot...he said he wanted a means of keeping coins in the car for parking. I promised to get something.

I bought a pink Hello Kitty purse. So he has to stand at the pay machine with his little pink purse.

I thought I was hilarious, but in fact he's perversely proud of it and gets lots of laughs from other blokes when he walks around with it. Bah, foiled.

HidingFromMyKids · 24/08/2018 21:36

I love this thread I can't wait to try them all.

Actually laughing at sleepingonthesparebed
The description of the whimper, voice cracking and having to leave the room GrinGrin

optimusprimesmother · 24/08/2018 21:36

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

All hail giraffes mum Grin

JaretsGirlfren · 24/08/2018 21:36

Oh and I repeat things he says back to him in his accent but wrong... he’s Californian but I’ll use a New York accent. Drives him crazy when I tell him that’s just how he speaks

GiraffeObsessedBaby · 24/08/2018 21:37

@optimusprimesmother there's so much more! Sadly she does them to her kids too HmmGrin

Shartnado · 24/08/2018 21:38

A few more for you - when I kiss DH goodnight, I sometimes pretend to miss and then lick his face Grin I always do the little 'oop' noise as if it was a complete accident even though I've done it a thousand times!

If we're waiting at someone's door to be let in I'll quickly pinch his nip through his tshirt so he's got a random erect nipple (that one sounds bad written down, he finds it funny, honest!) Grin

I sigh.

Great big humping ones.

Gets his goat, the little beggar.

Shartnado · 24/08/2018 21:40

@RadioDorothy I love that!! Grin my DH would be lame and refuse to use that I reckon. He wouldn't even use a trolley coin with a heart on it ffs lol!

I count things in French, but always say quank instead of cinq.

I loves watching him twitch.

If I see the number 55 anywhere, i always loudly announce “quankidy quank”

I have no guilt he is way more annoying than me.
