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.

Always leave the hoover out when finished with it.

Put cans of pop and cups of coffee on the arm of the settee (in my defense its my seat and if he stayed out of it then he wouldnt knock them off 😂)

Forget to transfer clothes from washer to dryer, resulting in them needing to be washed again.

Wake him up when he's on night shift to strip the bed as I feel it needs a wash.

EveryCarIsAPplCarrier · 25/10/2018 23:17

Loads, I’m not sure why he puts up with me 🙈
The main ones are:
Being really bad at geography, I use the term England-shire a lot to piss him off
Being bad at math (I get sums in my head wrong on purpose then argue it out with him)
Switching dishwasher on before it’s full
Eating all his special expensive coffee biscuits

I watch terrible TV.
I never lock, clean, or carry out any basic maintenance (such as inflate my tyres or top up water) on my car.
I never get up in the night to deal with the yowling cat that at all other times, is my baby.
I never put any washing up away, so everyday he is forced to play crockery Jenga.
I always fall asleep reading with the light left on.
I never post anything. Ever.
I won't go and collect parcels if they are left with a particular neighbour, because I feel inexplicably awkward around them.
I hate all his music. All of it.
I make him hoover the stairs as I just hate it.

I have no idea what he sees in me. Smile

Oysterbabe · 25/10/2018 23:57

Some of you sound pretty fucking annoying.

Dontfeellikeaskeleton · 26/10/2018 00:00

Oh god loads

Leave dried contacts lenses on the counter
Put too much salt in food

Etc Ad nauseum

I'm married to a 20/20 flavourless freak

Dontfeellikeaskeleton · 26/10/2018 00:02

Oh god I don't load the dishwasher properly either

Who gives a fuck, really?
(loads of blokes, apparently)

Itslookinglikeabeautifulday · 26/10/2018 00:13

I leave a trail of belongings apparently, from when I walk in the door - coat, shoes, bag, keys, tissues....at least I’m easy to find Smile

Itsnotalwaysfair · 26/10/2018 00:16

I don't drive despite having a licence
I don't file our bills paperwork often or well
I refuse to adopt his - open the last item, buy another immediately for stock method.
I don't close doors immediately after walking into or out of a room
I throw out food if I don't think it is safe to eat
I'm overly critical (I'm really not)

AtSea1979 · 26/10/2018 00:19

bread I would be long gone at the stripping the bed Grin

Shriekingbanshee · 26/10/2018 00:20

Thrill I do crockery jenga too....BUT
I hate opening d/washer to find anything bowl shaped is full of shitty slimey water, glasses tipped up, and plates stuck together by processed food glue, the kind only found in badly stacked d/washers

Mum0fteens · 26/10/2018 00:22

I am extremely windy Blush

Shriekingbanshee · 26/10/2018 00:22

Are you my DC beautifulday ?!

Shriekingbanshee · 26/10/2018 00:23

Ahaha! Mum Halloween Grin

pumpkinpie01 · 26/10/2018 00:24

I do quite a few irritating things, interrupt him because i know what he’s going to say anyway, never clean the rabbit out that only I wanted , talk to myself then get arsey when he asks when he talks to me, ask his opinion then do what I want to do anyway. But he doesn’t moan at all as he is so so laid back he just makes jokes about my inadequacies

Aus84 · 26/10/2018 02:26

I don't clean up as I go when cooking. I prefer to get dinner on quickly and then clean up while it's in the oven/on the stove. He cleans up as he goes and takes about 3 hours to have dinner on the table!

Ilikeknitting · 26/10/2018 05:10

My DH is amazingly tolerant Of me, but he does lose his shit when I’m in a shop (especially a huge department store like John Lewis) and he keeps asking me “tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll help” to which I reply, “I’m not looking for anything, I’m just looking” apparently men don’t understand that we like just looking at expensive glasses, cushions, bedding etc but with very little intention of actually buying them.

Alexandra2018 · 26/10/2018 06:07

Leave lights on and doors open
Leaving the tv on and going off to do something

HarmMaimCharly · 26/10/2018 06:12

@Panga63
Same here!

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 26/10/2018 06:48

I moan at him if he even so much as dares to move in bed

I genuinely can't think of anything else. He on the other hand... Grin

joystir59 · 26/10/2018 07:56

She grabs my knickers when I'm trying to pull them up,and she stands on my jeans legs when I'm trying to pull them up

ThrillitDontkillit · 26/10/2018 09:07

@Oyster I do have lots of other redeeming qualities, as I am sure everyone else on here does, but the point of the thread is about what we do that annoys our partner.

In every other way I am basically perfect Grin

Tattybear16 · 26/10/2018 10:00

I’m unable to load the dishwasher correctly, it drives him insane. He finds it necessary to reload it. I managed perfectly before he moved in.

Leaving cupboard doors open and then banging my head on them, he’s often found me in the kitchen with a bad case of concussion, asking why didn’t I just shut the doors.

Going food shopping and forgetting to buy essentials like milk, toilet rolls, even when I have a list. I obviously sleep walk when I shop. I’ve lost count of the number of times he’s had no milk to make a cup of tea. I don’t drink it.

I cant shut my wardrobe doors, due to the amount of stuff I have crammed in there. He doesn’t know how the rail is staying up.

I’m always cold, our home is like Bermuda. He has been known to wear shorts in Winter 😂

I’m the love of his life apparently.

TulipTuva · 26/10/2018 12:23

I somehow get little bits of instant coffee in the sugar, which he then gets in his tea or sprinkled on his Weetabix Grin

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 26/10/2018 13:03

Tidy up all his papers into a neat pile and lower his office chair so that it will fit under the desk nicely!

Toptheginup · 26/10/2018 13:23

Lick the flavour off pringles then eat
Put pj's, knickers, socks on inside out (not intentional, usually in a hurry to get changed before baby does something they not meant to) leave them inside out Grin, obviously if I was leaving the house I'd put them the right way again.
Eat sweet things just before dinner is ready
