To ask what little things your partner does that niggle the hell out of you!!

[DannyOD]

(Lighthearted!!). Whenever my dh makes toast or a sandwich he always puts it on a whacking great dinner plate instead of a tea plate and for some reason it annoys the hell out of me!!!

@NewGrandad

Fucking snoring! I rarely get an uninterrupted nights sleep when he stays over. Fortunately I have 4 nights a week to myself to recover

This is meant to be a light hearted thread, there is nothing light hearted about some snoring bastard keeping you up all night, that’s murder territory

When we go to the cinema he will say he does not fancy popcorn, if we get one to share he will have it gone by the film starts 

We've resorted to a popcorn each and he still has his gone by 15 minutes into the film 😂 bless him

Never puts his clothes in the basket, I wander around collecting socks from random places.
Never makes a bed, always left for me to do every morning.
Apparently he won't move things from the washing machine to dryer because he's worried about putting the wrong things in - read the flipping labels!
I come home from work to find the toys all over the place and clothes (we're potty training) left in piles in the living room

When we go food shopping he turns into a packing nazi. He is always taking stuff out of bags and repacking them to his exacting standards. I am a careful person, I am not just chucking them in.

When we go out for a meal he takes ages to choose his food. I mean ages, the waiting staff come over at intervals and ask if we are ready to order, we say just a few minutes. In the end they get fed up and don’t come back. We then spend more time trying to get their attention.

The way he uses his spoon and fork to twirl up spaghetti. I know he is doing it the right way (I cut mine, I am a philistine) but it really grates on me.

Turns lights that I have deliberately turned on off again. He likes ‘ambient’ lighting (which is basically darkness) - which is fine when relaxing / watching TV but not whilst I’m in the middle of cooking or similar

Puts the cutlery/utensils all mixed up in the draining board.

Never squirts water through the kids medicine syringes so I always have to rewash them.

Turns the kettle handle the wrong way round.

Snores on the sofa.

Asks to check the bank on my phone literally seconds after I've woken up.

Toothpaste tube.

'Nuff said.

Has the uncanny knack of heading to the bathroom right when I'm doing three things on the way to going to the bathroom myself ... We only have one.

Will do anything to avoid putting stuff in the bin/recycling - last spoon of coffee, nope left 5 granules he didn't need, teaspoon of milk in the carton, smear of butter, Nutella, half dozen cornflakes. I've seen him go for a biscuit, realise it's the last one and put the packet back, ffs, just finish it up.

@queenbeetofive, sorry I'm still giggling about your DH laughing at his farts

I don't know how he does it but his black socks moult little bits all over the bedroom carpet. Don't know what drives me most nuts: little sock bits or that he can't see what the problem is

He rubs the side of his fingers together absentmindedly when he’s watching tv or something. It drives me round the bed for absolutely no reason. So now we hold hands while watching tv. He thinks it’s lovely, being close and in contact, I think it’s lovely as I don’t have to rip his bloody annoying hand off instead.

I've remembered another one. If an attentive waiter sees he only has half an inch of drink left and asks if he wants another, he ALWAYS says... 'not for a minute'. Like the poor bloody waiter wants to stand there for one single minute, counting the seconds until the minute is up before serving Sir's next drink .

He's tried it with me when I've asked if he wants a top up coz I'm going into the kitchen. 'not for a minute'. Me: Well tough coz I ain't hanging about til your minute is up.

Blows his nose really loudly
Leaves his shoes by the cupboard door, instead of putting them in the cupboard

LEAVES ALL THE FUCKING WARDROBE DOORS OPEN.

Unwraps a plaster and leaves the bits on the side of the sink.

Starts a new shampoo/whatever bottle before the previous one is finished.

For some reason when in his boxers he pulls them midway down his bum!

Leaves dishes to soak overnight and I hate cold, icky water.

Does not put the plug strainer in the plughole and I'm constantly picking out bits of food and peelings from it, yuck.

Doesn't go to bed at the same time as me and is still fannying about on his kindle which the light disturbs me and sets my restless legs off. I get my own back by innocently and involuntary kick him.

Makes toast and puts the unused margarine from the knife back in the tub full of crumbs. There isn't enough expletives to say how much this annoys me. It's f*@#!$g disgusting. I have resorted using said disgusting margarine on his own sandwiches/ toast !!

Unloads dishwasher but leaves oven dishes/ trays / colander etc on work top as he claims he doesn't know where they go (he doesn't cook) we have 2 cupboards which they would go In, either or, I'm not fussed. Every time I show him these 2 cupboards he's never put them away yet !! It's infuriating

@queenbeetofive : Uses every surface/chair/door in the bloody house to place his clothes on like their fucking ornaments

Mine does this too. Every chair and even the bannisters are covered in his clothes, drives me mad!

Leaves the soap in the bath water so it gets slimey and gross.
Washing up sponge left soapy in the sink.
Wants to play with the kids at 7pm...
Occasional road rage outbursts

He is incapable of putting saucepans or oven trays away on the correct places so they actually fit in the cupboard without banging and swearing

He opens the curtains before it's actually light outside. And before we're ready to leave the house. It's a mystery. It's as if he opens them just because that's what you do, rather than because he understands they're to stop people seeing in.

He also folds trousers in half and puts them over a hanger to dry. Including jeans. Three weeks later, they're usually ready.

Don't get me started on how he stacks the dishwasher. We could be here for some time.

Is lovely and cooks a meal...with every pot, pan, utensil and what seems the entire contents of the fridge...serves it up...and leaves everything out! If I make a little dig he's like...oh sorry I didn't notice! 😵

Nail Biting. I'm the niggling one in the relationship.
