...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.

Any wires/chargers lying a bout I bundle into a carrier bag and chuck in the garage ( OH is an IT Network Engineer- so you can imagine!)

I empty the cutlery basket from the dishwasher by turning it upside down and letting everything fall into the drawer in a jumble without putting things into sections.

I breathe

I eat chips in a "weird" way. If I have to eat them with my fingers (McDonalds) then I will pick up two at a time and nibble them.

I wear the same colour top as him if we go out anywhere (to the point where I will wait until he comes to my house before I get dressed/changed). He hates it because he says its weird to co-ordinate but I love winding him up and try to take pictures of us matching just to irritate him.

I also snore, and grind my teeth in my sleep (Its going to be amazing when we move in together)

I make my own words up to songs. It drives him mad as he tries to correct me.
I stick my fingers in his ear while he's watching telly.
I put my face right in front of his when he's about to wake up in the morning, so when he first opens his eyes he just sees me an inch from his face and he has no idea how long I've been there (try it, it's hilarious).
I hide behind the bathroom door when he comes out of the loo and jump out at him.
I put my hand in front of his face and say "not touching you, not touching you, not touching you"
Oh and he won't walk up the stairs in front of me any more as I try and poke him up the bum (not actually up the bum as he has jeans on).
Basically my DH is my own personal source of amusement.
Don't feel sorry for him though because he's way more annoying than I am 😀

My car is so messy it’s like a skip! My husband cleans it out for me every couple of months but I just can’t seem to keep on top of it. I also say goodnight then talk at him for another hour or so in be done in the dark.

I'm a horrible back-seat cook. I hover, and pounce the second he doesn't cook something the way I would. I fully admit that I would hate that!

Also, irrationally, I refuse to mow the lawn. Still don't know why.

I press the toothpaste from the middle instead at the bottom and I apparently place the loo roll the wrong way round. Of course his way is the fault best way in both cases .

‘Default’

i spread butter in a 'chaotic manner' apparently! and also don't squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom.

What's with all the men who are obsessed with dishwasher stacking? I mean, how wrong can it be?

Mine always fills the dishwasher up and doesn't turn it on. Presumably he thinks more things can be squeezed in. Drives me batshit.

DP gets irrationally (in my opinion) annoyed if I order the same meal as him in a restaurant, which I often do. He's stopped telling me what he's planning on ordering and insisting I tell the waiter what I want before he does.

Dishwasher stacking - think it's a man thing, my DF is the same - he takes real pride in it. I am apparently an incompetent fool.

I wear his jumpers ('my work jumpers!') after my bath as lounging about gear.

I'm sure there's more. I'll check with him now.

Make assumptions about what she is or isn't going to do around the house

I tidy everything away & put it 'safe' 
Really pisses him off & I sometimes forget where I put them 

He says I interrogate him as soon as he steps in through the front door after a day's work, and give him tasks at once. Did you buy milk? Does the car need fuel? What shift are you on tomorrow? Can you sort out the car headlight bulb? He pleads for five minutes to gather himself together when he comes home.

I ask "have you done such-and-such yet?" He replies "No, because you didn't ask me to," saying that "yet" is inappropriate for the first time of asking.

If he's doing a long task, such as wallpapering, I'll say "have you done it yet?". But he's now firmly vetoed any kind of teasing when he does DIY.

He also objects to any talk of "making" him do things, as in "I should have made you wash the car". He says he's always happy to be asked to do things, but nobody makes him do anything.

Being a bit untidy and not folding stuff.
Forgetting my reading glasses when we go out for dinner (2 reasons for this: he likes me to do the ordering as he is a bit shy, and he has to wear glasses all the time. I maintain that this makes it easier for him to remember them).

When he is cooking, he wants me to stay in another room and not talk to him.
When I am cooking, I like him to sit near me and chat, see what needs doing, kiss my neck, etc etc...

This: I hate opening d/washer to find anything vaguely bowl shaped is wrong way up & 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
^^
I am all woman, apart from when it comes to the d/washer it seems as I can't stand it being badly stacked hurled in without consideration for securing and spacing
Also, Grumble do you not also poke your finger in his mouth when he yawns, shook!

I've got a terrible habit of using the hoover but not winding the cable away properly and just bundling it round

It literally sends DH round the bend.

My optimism. He says he's a realist. I call him a bitterly pessimistic cynic. My Mary Sunshine outlook REALLY gets on his tits

Hrm just asked him. Apparently the only thing i do that annoys him hrm is say "exactly that" when I'm agreeing with something. Excuse me if i don't believe him thst that's the only thing becaisr I've heard him tutting when i reload the dishwasher and change gears in a way he disagrees with ;-)

I criticise his driving. Especially if I think he's too fast - although under the speed limit - sometimes.

I always need to wee before we leave the house.

I have a place for everything so know where everything is. And get annoyed when he puts the things in the wrong place.

I don't do bins.

I leave a massive amount of mess in the car.

• I leave my dressing gown on his side of the bed (it’s in front of wardrobe)

• I leave my dressing table stool out so he trips over it in the dark

• I leave all the ingredients out til I’ve finished cooking, he thinks I should tidy as I go

Looks like I just leave things lying around!

I never put the lid back on the orange juice properly and when he takes it out he always shakes it before pouring.....

I've remembered another one: when he's driving, I don't point things out, but if I think he's not slowing down soon enough, I automatically put my hand on the door, as if to brace myself for a sudden stop. He keeps reminding me he used to be a driving instructor and knows what he's doing, and tells me there's a blindfold kept in the glove box, would I like to wear it?
