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 like to throw freezing water over the top of the shower when he’s in. It’s hilarious, screaming and naked 😂😂

For those who don't get it, I think it's down to sense of humour. It's supposed to be fun and silly and not to really "annoy" - it's just messing around. Some people are silly, some people are not. I wouldn't have married my DH if he wasn't the funniest person I've ever met, it's one of my requirements in a life partner.

So when he tells the cashier at Halfords that he's going to be attaching the jump leads to my nipples when we get home, or opens my catalogue parcels and is modelling my clothes for me when I get home, I love him all the more. Yes his capers can be embarrassing and annoying, but they're also very funny. So he gets a bit more back from me.

Not everybody lives like that, true. But obviously quite a few of us do.

Randomly sneak up on him and shout ‘dick’ (hahahah I’m a child) or wait till it’s really quiet and do it so he jumps.

Wait right outside the bathroom door so he walks directly into me (again to scare him) but also tell him to wash his hands 🙄😂

When we’re lay on the couch and i put my foot up to his ear and won’t move it till he answers it like a phone.

Watch re runs of friends constantly and recite the script along with them

I love all these they're great!!

I have too many to name but my favourite one is when my oh says something I'll reply with the exact same thing but in a different way/synonym. E.g OH: 'that's a coincidence' me: 'and it's a massive fluke'

Really annoys him and my mum joins in when we're over theirs too!!

@tiredat30 you’ve just reminded me of the ‘joke’ my dad used to play on us. He’d always tell strangers it was one of our birthdays to watch us squirm deciding whether to go with it to save embarrassment or have to explain to everyone it wasn’t our birthday. And the more we denied it the more he’d argue “don’t be shy” etc. He’d say it on planes to the air hostess, in restaurants, soooo embarrassing as a teenager.

Oh god EachPeach that cracked me up

I tried throwing water on my Dh out of a window once...he twisted his ankle getting away..drama queen

We wind each other up so much. He did me some tomato soup yesterday and I'm I kept sending it back because it wasn't hot enough. He was literally stomping his feet by the end

Letter box is upper thigh height 😬

Crying with laughter at the husbands actions thinking something was coming. 😂😂 nerf guns are the best, hours of fun for all the family!

I stack the dishwasher really badly. Drives him mad. Not sure why because it's the way my mum stacks it (pile in as much stuff as possible)

tiredand30 I roaring at everything you wrote . It's brilliant to have such a laugh with your partner.

Matilda so funny to picture him sneaking around the house trying to find you and you weren't even home

If I'm wearing tracksuit bottoms my DH will ask me to get something from a high shelf and then jock me or give me a wedgy. Sometimes when we're kissing he'll do a 'mess kiss' and slobber all over me

kolo the "don't be shy" is the best. Your dad is brilliant. I can see my DH doing those kind of dad things some day

I stick things down his butt crack when bending over, anything from a piece of paper to ice cubes.
Randomly start the echo speakers when he is home alone.

When we're relaxing in the great outdoors I like finding a blade of grass or small twig and use it to poke in his ear or nose. Just gently to create an annoying tickle. It usually takes him ages to realise it's me

You lot are fucking hilarious I've been pissing myself reading these!! Humour is alive and well!

I like to make DHs lunch fun, I write him little notes and put them in his lunch box, things like 'wash your hands before you eat' or 'vegetables are yummy AND good for you' then on other days I write really soppy notes or make something little out of origami or cut his sandwiches with shaped sandwich cutters or draw on them with watered down food dye.

I used to do it for DD when she was small and he once made jokey a comment about why does he get boring lunches. Sometimes if I'm feeling really generous I'll make him and the guy he works with bacon sandwiches for in the van and cut them in pretty shapes, guy he works with finds it hilarious.

Mainly just coming in to the thread to say that Quankety quank had me actually weeping with laughter. I had to compose myself, I was at work! I'm not sure why it tickled me do much but I had tears!

One thing that I started but DH is fully involved with now is 'dont forget this' - very simply, whoever leaves the house first is waved off at the door and just as they leave the second person says in a tone of extreme urgency 'Don't forget this!' as you attempt to hand them something pointless that is handy ... A cucumber from the fridge, the laundry basket, a nearby cat... The possibilities are endless! The cats especially love being a prop in this game :)

Hahaha Alpaca! Does the receiver blindly accept the item?

This is hilarious. I've downloaded the fire stick remote on my phone. Last night I was upstairs and Dp was watching tv downstairs. I kept pressing the pause/play buttons. All I could hear was his incredulous voice saying buffering, on you tube!

I deliberately never drink the last inch of tea in my mug, but only when he's made it. I've no idea how it began but it sends him into absolute horrors.

I also like to hide behind doors occasionally and jump out at him, Cato-style.

He bent over yesterday to install a new rug in the front room so I ran at him full-pelt, shouted "catch me" and tried to do the dirty dancing lift without him knowing til the last minute.

Also when he's on Very Important work calls which the house must be SILENT for I like to pantomime ridiculous things to him and watch as he gets more and more silently furious whilst having to remain upbeat and operational to the person he's calling. He writes me messages like "what the fucking fuck is wrong with you" while he's on his call and I'll be miming that his eyebrows look great today. It pleases me no end.

I think if we stopped being foolish together we'd both just be bored.

I like to tick things off his "to do" list. Or add helpful things to it, such as "buy wine " or "buy DW present "

I just want to say I bloody love you all, these are genius. I wish my DH was fun! Can I come and live with one of you lot if I promise to help you wind up your partner?

A little bit of glitter gel on his pillow, so he goes off to just a bit sparkl!

so he goes off to work just a little bit sparkly..

I'm baffled by this thread. I couldn't live with someone who did this kind of shit, not least because it would make me question their intelligence. If my DH did any of this stuff I'd leave him. Who wants to live with someone who deliberately winds them up?

I'm baffled by this thread.

People have fun in different ways. It's fine to not have fun in the same way as the next couple; much like every other part of a relationship it's down to personal taste. I don't like BDSM, but I certainly don't feel those who do must be less intelligent than me in my 'vanilla' relationship.

To assume that everyone posting on here is intellectually challenged simply because they have a different relationship to yours is odd, at best, and rude at worst.

an impressive display of evasive manoeuvres with his work bag clutched to the top of his head

This whole thing was making me chuckle but this:

while shouting "for the love of God woman I'm in my good suit!".

has finished me off completely. Am roaring.
