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!!!

Can't understand the concept of Lights and Darks for dirty laundry

Oh yes, that's another one of mine. Brings all his dark coloured (synthetic) gym clothes to be washed, asks what else can go in with them, I say 'dark stuff'. He adds anything from black to the palest blue or yellow in. Then whacks the whole lot on 'cottons, 90c'.

Arrrgh.

Do you all live with my DP? He does 80% of the things mentioned, the fucker.

He doesn't get his knob out en route to a piss though.

Mine has a moustache and he likes to take a big drink of water or juice then kiss me so I get covered in the soaked up moustache juice. So slobbery!!

This is a good place to vent

When he cooks, he will use every single pot and pan going. I could clean the kitchen and he’ll somehow cook a spag bol and need 2 pans, 3 bowls, various ramekins, 2 sieves, all the herbs stay out etc. he doesn’t know how to tidy up as he goes along.

When he washes up he doesn’t wash the oven pans properly so they stay all greasy.

Doesn’t put stuff away ever, it really annoys me when he doesn’t put the bath mat back on the radiator. He thinks there’s some sort of bath mat fairy.

He can’t physically stay awake past 10.30pm.

He always drives in the right lane.

*Allergic to recycling bin
*Oblivious to sleeping children with his noise
*his noises
*Falls asleep on the sofa (just go to bed)
*Anything I ask him to do I think why did I bother asking coz I then do it myself
*Procrastination
*picks at the takeaway before Iv plated up
*stupidly argues with his hormonal pregnant partner oblivious to the fact I'm considering kicking him in the balls

And hogs the bathroom

Leaves empty packs in the cupboard so I don't know we've run out of tea bags/cereal bars whatever until I get the empty down, usually after the shopping's been done. Puts any rubbish not in the cupboard on a bin (can't possibly put it in) or leaves it on the side with all the toast crumbs/used tea bags he can't manage to wipe away. Puts his wet towel over my nice dry one in the bath room so they both end up smelly. I do love him really just drives me bonkers

Just went to get some cheese out of the fridge. This was the quantity left in the packet.

@Oysterbabe

LTB. That's unforgivable.

He leaves the breakfast bowls in the sink rather than taking just a few minutes longer (if even that) to put them straight into the dishwasher. 

Oh and I forgot he leaves packets of cereal/ biscuits wide open so they go stale.

Hanging towels over (painted) doors (which start to flake) instead of back on the towel rail

Leaving amazon packaging on the floor for me to pick up

plates in sink instead of (empty) dishwasher

Socks.....everywhere!!!! I tried putting them in the dog's bed and saying "well if you leave your socks on the floor, the dog will pick them up and chew holes in them."

Beard hair all over sink and bathroom

Hoarding clutter eg battered gift boxes, broken hairdryer from 4 years ago

Eating too fast then being surprised when he gets indigestion

If plates make it into the dishwasher they're still covered in food and the drain gets clogged with rice etc

Frequently loosing his keys and not seeing why it matters

Asking me "where are we going to park when we get there?" I don't know, I'm not telepathic! Probably in whichever space is empty and closest to where we're going!

DH had an infuriating habit of leaving dirty nappies on the changing mat, unwrapped, so that next time DD had a poo explosion and I needed the mat, first I'd have to clear up from the previous change. Apparently it was too difficult to tidy up and hold DD simultaneously.

But I dealt with that bwahahahah. Anything he left on the changing mat, I would put on his pillow (evenings) or his backpack (mornings). (Actually I was always nice about not putting them poo side down but he didn't twig that.) He miraculously learned how to tidy up after a nappy change.

@Powerless I think it's one poster with several posts - it's very annoying!

My DH also used to flush the toilet but not check that it was thoroughly clean, and I'd find poo in the toilet bowl that hadn't been flushed. But I am quite OCD about that, I'm constantly using the toilet cleaner.

He doesn't do that now, to his credit. 

Parking. He's driven down one row and not found a space. He gets to the end and turns left or right. THEN he says "I'll go down this one shall I?'. Why are you asking when you're long past the point of no return????

OR

There's only one other car in the car park. Why does he always have to park next to it?????

He's been in IT all his working life, so I admit if I get stuck on the computer I tend to say help rather than working it out for myself. He's fine with that. But he'll come and stand over my shoulder and say 'click on...[whatever]'. I've never seen that screen before but if I don't spot it instantly he gets tetchy. However when he does the washing up - which he does, dishwasher and things to wash by hand - he never puts away the baking trays or sieves or whatever. He says he doesn't know where they go. They go where they've gone for the last 20 years.

When he has an itch on the inside of his ear he makes this really annoying really loud skkkkk sound like he's trying to bring up phlegm
Sleep walks/runs, talks and snores like a fog horn.
Doesn't have any concept of time keeping.
The list goes on!

The worst thing my exH does is continue to exist. But he did all of these and more ugh.

All the posts remind me of how utterly grateful I am to be forever single

I'm feeling a bit mean, as I love my DH to bits, but it's fun to be able to slag him off (in good humour of course!). He basically changes personality when he's behind the wheel. He has so much to say about other drivers, it's the only place where he ever swears. Of course, he's always right!! 

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

Why do they do that?! My husband will sit next to me on the sofa for hours in complete silence. But as soon as one of us leaves the room he decided that’s the perfect time to start a conversation. I just end up shouting “I CANT HEAR YOU!” constantly until he come to the same room.

He narrates what he's doing, when he concentrates. I pity his colleagues.

@daftcat - well this is weird. Your actions are what I complained of in my dp. For a moment I got very confused and wondered if you were my dp or I was you or your dp was me or something. Need to sit down. ‘Clutch pearls’.

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).

I am dying here!

I (can’t remember why) had DP convinced that Blondie hailed from Wythenshawe in Manchester and that Debbie Harry went to Hume Grammar despite being from a really rough family.

For years he hailed Blondie as one of the first great Manchester bands before Madchester came about.

Hey...
Did Hadley’s team win any.……..................
