...to ask what things you do that annoy your partner? (lighthearted)

[ThistleAmore]

I'll start:

I never clean out the cats' litter trays (in spite of the fact that I was the one who wanted the cats in the first place) and I never take my turn at washing up.

Can’t suspend my disbelief while watching a film.

He turned off Finding Dory (but come on it was insultingly ridiculous even for a child!) and stormed from the room.

He’s always having to say ‘it’s a film!!!!’ Because I question everything.

I know he still loves me because he still watches them with me. When he stops, I’ll know he’s done 😂

Asking questions when watching a film,my spending habits ,my control freak tendencies.

Ooh so many.

• I wash up his precious cheffy knives 'wrong'
• I chop vegetables in a very dangerous manner (allegedly)
• I sometimes eat a packet of the crisps he buys for his work lunches and make a satisfying triangle with the wrapper

Leave lights on. Drives him nuts. Do it deliberately. Teehee

I cut his sandwiches into triangles 'like a child'

I spill all food and drink down myself without fail.

I bump into everything/trip over nothing/drop everything.

I always need a wee.

I need to arrive early for everything. He hates killing time, but realised a long time ago that it's better than the alternative (me, wound up to the point of combustion).

Oh and I always take too long to get ready 🤷‍♀️

I put empty egg shells back in the box. Drives him mad.

-Leaving dirty dishes on the side for ages.
-Getting lost constantly and having to ask him where stuff is all the time.
-Sleeping all weekend sometimes.
-Watching endless trashy TV (he never complains though, bless him).
-Making him fetch me things when he gets up.

I do have good qualities as well I promise

I put thing in the dishwasher 'incorrectly'. I leave things on his bedside cabinet.

I do both these things to annoy him.

Nothing.

Literally. It annoys him when I do nothing. He's the sort who cannot see a job that needs doing and just walk past it. (No, you cannot have him. He's mine!)

I always need a wee

I leave lights on cause i dont like going into a dark room and 2 main rooms the switch is stupidly far away from the door.

I always need to be early.. he likes to arrive dead on time.

Snore

i require the bedroom to be freezing cold and silent when i want to go to bed. i can’t go to bed second, or at the same time - i have to go up first as my (actual, diagnosed) OCD means there is a LOT to do before i can actually get into bed.

i am grouchy.

i have an inner monologue which occasionally pops out, usually in the voice of a downtrodden cockney lady.

i love a show tune.

i must have the right plate and cutlery.

STOP WEARING YOUR SHOES ON THE FUCKING RUG CHRIST.

I'm always right. Not in a smug know it all way, just that I am almost always correct. Mostly it's stuff like knowing exact quantities of stuff (five eggs in the fridge, a packet of new toothbrushes in x drawer) but plenty of random facts as well. I mostly try to be polite and pretend he might be right about things but am not very good at it when I'm tired.

It drives him mad. He loves to point out when I'm wrong ("aha I knew there were another six eggs!") then gets really annoyed when I point out I'm right (nope, they're DSs bird feeders that are setting - I literally sent you a photo of him making them yesterday).

Apparently I'm a witch. I think I have basic observational skills and a good memory.

I sing songs in the wrong key. I'm a reasonably good singer but he's got perfect pitch so this really annoys him.

I use the wrong knife for the task, ie sharp knife for spreading butter

I load the dishwasher wrong

I manage to rotate the duvet in my sleep

I am a terrible back seat (side seat?) always popping of with “ DO YOU SEE THAT CAR? THAT CAR?” “THAT LIGHT IS CHANGING! I CAN TELL IT’S CHANGING!”..

Late night shopping and spending

Stubborn and always right.

I sneeze too dramatically. To combat this he refuses to bless any sneeze that is deemed too dramatic, which really annoys me

I always need a wee (to the point where he knows I need a wee before I do - because it's ALL THE TIME) and leave scrumpled up tissues under my pillow, in my pockets, or in other random places. They are clean though. Just scrumpled. They are for just in case

Muttering to myself like when I'm messing about with my phone and my internal monologue slips out.

Telling him he's going deaf and that his memory is terrible (both true and his mother agrees) adding to this when I tell him I've told him stuff and he doesn't remember I've told him.

Telling him where something is and him not being able to find it then me finding it exactly where I said it would be.

My love of crap tv and how I get him addicted to whichever rubbish show I'm watching.

I sing quite loudly around the house (and not well!).
He has a bit of a thing about crumbs/food getting on clothes. If I have a cuppa and a biscuit I rest the biscuit on my knee when I have a sip, he gets funny and says I should get a plate for it as I’ll get crumbs on my trousers. The other day I put a biscuit on each knee just to wind him up

I hate driving so make him drive everywhere
I won't do simple DIY (hanging pictures etc.)
I have a specific mugs for specific times of day/meals and tell him off if he gives me the "afternoon cuppa" mug at breakfast time etc. (He says this makes me a weirdo. I am unconvinced).
I forget words ALL THE TIME. "Can you get me the thing out of the thing? You know, the thing!". Drives him potty.

I'm horrible to sleep with. Apparently, I'm like Hitler invading Poland. He is not the first person to accuse me of this.

And I spit chewing gum into tissues and then inadvertently drop the tissues.

I've stopped pretending I haven't heard every single story before

I'm not a very good wife!

I leave crumbs in the butter. DH is the most laid back person I know, but this drives him INSANE.
