The snoring. Oh dear God the snoring.

CantWaitToRetire · 12/11/2018 21:59

Only one?

MrsTumbletap · 12/11/2018 22:04

Puts empty tubs back in the fridge

AhoyAhoy · 12/11/2018 22:05

He’s tidies up too well. I can never find things that I have intentionally left out. He thinks I’m messy. I know I’m efficient.

Calzone · 12/11/2018 22:05

He thirty takes 20 minutes for him to get ready

It takes 45 minutes.

JudasPrudy · 12/11/2018 22:06

Comes home from work and eats everything in the cupboards if the dinner isn't sitting there ready to eat.

Also loud eating at times Sad I don't want to make him self conscious by pointing it out though, that would be rude.

edwinbear · 12/11/2018 22:08

The noise he makes when he eats. The constant fucking sniffing.

Lymphy · 12/11/2018 22:10

When he cooks sausages in the oven he puts them on foil on a baking tray, he then pokes holes in the foil. It drives me insane. There is no need for holes in the foil. Rage.

Silent eggy rancid farts.

farfallarocks · 12/11/2018 22:10

Drinks too much

causeimunderyourspell · 12/11/2018 22:10

Dries himself after a shower while still standing in the bathtub. Thus scattering hair and fluff all over the bath. And leaving it there! I ask him repeatedly to either stand on the perfectly good bath mat, or better still, rinse the bath out after!

I actually showed him earlier. Literally walked him in there and pointed it out and then showed him the 20 second clean up operation to result in a happy wife Grin

He was like 'ok I take your point' so I'm crossing my fingers!!

sarahC40 · 12/11/2018 22:10

Muttering. He's a lovely man, but oh the muttering!

pumpkinpie01 · 12/11/2018 22:11

Sniffs every morning , blow your bloody nose ffs

Athena51 · 12/11/2018 22:11

He snores but honestly that's about it. He is basically lovely.

MrsMarmite1234 · 12/11/2018 22:12

Putting dirty dishes next to the empty dishwasher. Makes me feel violent.

gonzo77 · 12/11/2018 22:13

He works ridiculous hours

stickytoffeepuddingandicecream · 12/11/2018 22:13

He picks his nose and rolls it into a ball then flicks it. He does this all the time at home and refuses to use a tissue. Never does it in public so he knows how disgusting it is. It makes me so angry, he really is a man child!!!! Who has to tell a 35 year old off for picking their nose? I'm angry just thinking about it!!!!

Serfisafleur · 12/11/2018 22:15

he then pokes holes in the foil

That's insane !

sallysec · 12/11/2018 22:15

The mess. The house is usually spotless but he will come home from work and empty his pockets full of crap and leave it all on the side. Like 10 screws, 3 receipts, a pencil and an Alan key and we need to keep all of it just incase. That's fine but he does this every day

Plays games on his phone....like now.....

Doesn't do anything there and then when I ask him too.....I ask nicely too..I'm not a bitch.

I could go on and on....and on.....twat

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 12/11/2018 22:15

He is unbelievably kind and selfless, except when it comes to food.

At home, late afternoon- he’ll say he’s hungry and will ask if I want a bacon sandwich (lovely of him)

I’ll say no, sure it’s nearly dinner time- just hold off for an hour and we’ll eat a proper meal together shortly.

He’ll mysteriously disappear, and I’ll smell bacon from the kitchen.

I open the door like a member of Special Branch and be like “wtf?” and he’ll innocently look at me and says he won’t need dinner, like that’s a massive favour. Totally forgetting that I’ve meal planned and bought food for both of us!

PippilottaLongstocking · 12/11/2018 22:15

Talks to kids in annoying loud high pitched whiny voices. I don’t know if he even realises he does it but I can’t help flinching every time.

PutYourShirtOnMartin · 12/11/2018 22:16

He is nearly 60, six foot two and still wears the same size clothes he had when he was a 19 yr old. He eats twice as much as me and never puts weight on.

Bastard

sallysec · 12/11/2018 22:17

AND he plays the same bloody songs on Alexa over and over again on volume 7.

InspectorIkmen · 12/11/2018 22:18

The shitting. The endless interminable 24/7 shitting. Fucker is never happier than when he's on his way to the bathroom to have a shit. Logic dictates that he cannot possibly really be shitting so much - I hope.

Teacherlikemisstrunchball · 12/11/2018 22:19

He’s tidies up too well. I can never find things that I have intentionally left out. He thinks I’m messy. I know I’m efficient.

Argh mine does this too Hmm he is so tidy and wonderful and I am a slattern, but it bloody drives me CRACKERS. For example during the week I leave my bag/work bag/coat/work shoes out neatly in the hall so that when I am wrestling children out of the house to leave for work at 7am I don’t have to LOOK for anything. He puts this stuff away after I’ve gone to bed and it just drives me up the wall when I then can’t find my work pass or similar Angry I also had to have words with him gently this evening that when he goes to work for an early could he please just put the big lights on downstairs not all the fiddly lamps that require fiddly switching off sequences. He loves making the house look nice and I am so appreciative, but am finding getting out the house in the morning’s a real struggle at the moment and this faffing isn’t helping!
