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!!!

And while we are on the subject brushes he’s teeth asif he is a helicopter literally tooth paste and spit all over the bathroom

Leaves drawers hanging open.

Every time he undressed the toddler DS for bed he leaves the clothes on the floor in the nursery. Every single time. When asked he says 'I didn't know if they were dirty or not?' Why, are you blind??!

It gives me so much rage when I walk in to say night to DS that I swear DS thinks you say goodnight with this face-> . I've taken to picking them up and putting them on his pillow so he has to deal with them when he goes to bed.

Also, I know this is petty but when I'm doing something and maybe a bit stressed, he always goes 'can I do anything to help?' In a really annoying patronising voice. He knows he's doing the voice and he knows it will invoke great rage in me but he doesn't learn!

He's alright the rest of the time....

Picture the scene:

A kitchen. The dishwasher is half full. There is also washing up waiting to be done - there is a mix of items, some which can go in the dishwasher and some which can't.

Enter: DH, with washing up on his agenda. Watch as he washes up things that can go in the dishwasher, filling up the draining space.

Exit: DH, leaving a draining board full of clean things which could have gone in the dishwasher, a worktop with dirty non-dishwasherable dishes, unwashed because there is no space to put them to drain, and a still only half full dishwasher in which the occupants are going to get a bit whiffy while they wait.

I love him desperately but THIS! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Can't brush his teeth without gagging, drives me insane!!!!

Leaves wet towels where they fall. This goes for clothes too, especially socks.

Grunts every time he does a fart, like he's really squeezing it out. They also smell worse than anything I've ever smelt in my life but he always says he can't smell anything. Also no shame about where he does them, happy to trump loudly in public (sometimes he looks around at me as if I've done it so people think it was me!!).

Loads the dishwasher in a totally irrational way so things don't get cleaned properly.

Uses my hairdryer to dry his balls after a shower

Forgot one of the worst ones! He scratches his balls what feels like all the fucking time. He doesn't need to keep checking they're there all the time ffs. He even does it in his sleep, so I'm sometimes woken up by "scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch etc etc etc"! Argh! He claims never to remember he's done it either.

Emptying the kitchen bin but not putting a new black bag in. Really pisses me off.

And when I’ve just cleaned the kitchen and he decides to make the worlds messiest sanwhich and not Bother to wash up or wipe the surface.

Both boil my piss.

Other than that he’s a delight

After charging up his gadgets and removes them he leaves the extension lead plug still switched on at the wall. Pisses me off like you'd never believe.

Oh god... too many things, too many things!

1. Messy as f*
2. Takes 2 hours to get ready in the morning (1 hour for a shit, then another hour for a shower, shave and getting dressed)
3. Stands over me looking at his phone. Comes in the bathroom when I am in the shower and stands there looking at his phone.
4. Makes unearthly sounds when he is eating despite his mouth being closed.
5. Snores
6. ALWAYS remembers to remind me to do something, but when it is his turn to do it ALWAYS forgets!

There are so many more, but I wouldn't swap him for the world...
well... maybe for Jamie Dornan!

Shoves things on radiators to dry ,obviously they get super creased, does the same with towels in the bathroom just shoved on all bunched up .

DP says 'slippy' instead of 'slippery'.

FreezerBird

Are you married to my DP??

Exactly the same. He 'prefers washing up'.

Off topic, but why are sooo many posters on this thread confusing 'He's' with 'His' they're totally different words with totally different meaning!

He's - He is

His - Belongs to him

As for DP:

Mumbles when he knows I have hearing issues.
Laughs when I'm telling him something that whilst it may be mildly amusing, is something that hurt or upset me.
SULKS!!!! He will ignore me completely for the rest of the day and night if I upset him.
Makes a horrible noise as he stretches.
Is very passive aggressive! If I say something along the lines of how "I rarely get a single minute on my own to just sit down!!" (ya know, the standard whinge of a stressed mum!) he'll make noises of sympathy etc, wait until I've finished and then after a suitable silence, say something like "Sooo..........You watching Corrie or Eastenders tonight then?" 🤬😡

• puts recycling in the regular bin

- never empties the dishwasher - always puts dirty plates on the side, when the dishwaher is empty - dirty clothes in a pile next to the wash bin - empty loo rolls left on top of the cistern - Never replenishes loo roll in the holder storage thing - Leaves lights on every room in the house

permanent noise. nose blowing, annoying the cats, mutters incessantly.

makes a ‘hnh’ sound every time someone on the telly says something, or a thing happens.

refuses to concentrate on the first 5 minutes of a film, then spends an hour asking me who that man is, and why has that happened?

reads his facebook timeline out loud to me.

will literally believe anything he is told (but this one can be fun as i had him convinced for a full year that Tony Hadley was a high jump champion in his youth and now coaches the Olympic youth team, which is why Spandau Ballet haven’t got back together).

narrates the telly. oh, he’s opened that door now. what’s that there then? he’s going over there now. that lady has a knife etc etc FOREVER GOD JUST SHUT UP.

socks on the kitchen floor in front of the washing machine. what the fuck.

cannot ever find anything, ever. because he doesn’t look.

talks to me from any room in the house except the one i am in. makes me stabby.

i do love him though, as i am a fucking nightmare and he puts up with all my nonsense.

For those of you who have DPs who leave their dirty clothes and socks on the floor - do they expect you to pick them up and put them in the wash? Please tell me you don’t do it...

Totally unreasonable l know but after he comes in from work he never seems have time for us to chat. He always goes straight to the loo, then back out to shuffle his and my cars (obsessed with 'our' parking space) then he'll pop to see his mum 'before he gets settled' then he'll 'pop to the shop' despite me asking him by text everyday does he want anything whilst l'm out. Then he'll shush me because he's listening to something on the telly. I go upstairs and come down and guarantee he is on his phone. One night l said to him you've been home for three hours when the actual feck can l speak to you.

My OH is a genuinely delightful man. He is kind, sympathetic, generous, human, funny, intelligent, loves children and animals and is the love of my life.

BUT...

1. He takes his underwear off at the side of the bed and leaves it there, despite the laundry basket being about 4' away.
2. Ditto recycling.
3. Why can't men hang toilet rolls the right way?
4. His curious toiletry fetish. He HOARDS bathroom products. Still, we'll never be short of toothpaste.

Inside-out dirty socks and clothes strewn upstairs. Landing, bathroom, bedroom - anywhere.

Can't understand the concept of Lights and Darks for dirty laundry and always dumps things in the wrong pile so I have to pick through it.

Sock fluff left in the bath (he does sometimes wash it away)

Beer cans and plastic bottles rammed into our small main kitchen bin, instead of leaving them on the bunker for me to put out in the recycling bin. He overfills the kitchen bin too, so when I have to haul the bag out it often rips or it's too full to tie it.

Can't hear me when I'm yelling in another room, or responds so quietly that then I can't hear.

Never uses an ashtray in the garden. Fag ash on the bathroom floor and dog-ends floating in the toilet.

Moans about me having windows open and huffs when I explain air flow/condensation/mould/food smells.

Could probably think of more, but in all seriousness he's a good egg and does pretty much everything for me! ❤

will literally believe anything he is told (but this one can be fun as i had him convinced for a full year that Tony Hadley was a high jump champion in his youth and now coaches the Olympic youth team, which is why Spandau Ballet haven’t got back together).

CRYING AT THIS

Makes sandwiches directly on the kitchen worktop and leaves crumbs all over it. The other night when he was doing it I asked him why he wasn't using a plate. He looked at me like I was mad and said "I haven't finished making it yet!"

Giggled so much at these

puts plates in the sink with rubbish still in them ,mine also emptys the bin but does not put a bin bag in 0.o

Are you married to my DP??

Exactly the same. He 'prefers washing up'.

I don't mind him washing up. I just wish he would would wash up the stuff that doesn't go in the dishwasher, and put the stuff that can IN THE FECKING DISHWASHER thus getting EVERYTHING clean, and leaving the worktop clear.

Not whatever this thing is he does.

I've got myself quite wound up here.
