DH looks for things with his hands, and so can never find anything.
Pisses me the fuck off, you are not a blind man DH!!Angry

Rachelover40 · 12/11/2018 23:40

Mine also leaves shoes NEXT to shoe rack.
Socks on the floor.
Snoring.
Saying he will do something, ie mend or buy, and not do it.

Oops that's more than one thing, sorry.

Butterflysprinkles · 12/11/2018 23:44

Instead of emptying the bin he pushes it all down so its a total nightmare when it's emptied eventually

Olderbyaminute · 12/11/2018 23:46

I’ll say something like “Oh I remember that song/album/music video” and DH will say “Oh your parents LET you listen to/watch that?” We both came from families with very “conservative” religious beliefs but I would watch mtv or listen to music as normal teenage rebellion which he would never have done mr. goody two shoes sigh-normal rock music not offensive at all-makes me so fed up sigh

Poppyinagreenfield · 12/11/2018 23:51

The constant breathing. Just wish he’d stop it.

ItsASunnyDay · 12/11/2018 23:55

Leaves dirty plates next to the dishwasher instead of putting straight in. Sometimes he even walks past the dishwasher and puts them next to the sink.

Leaves black sock fluff on the bedroom floor.

Needs to trim his beard / hair (clippers) just after the cleaner has been.

ComtessedeLancret · 12/11/2018 23:58

He will spend all weekend doing copious amounts of washing thinking it’s some huge accomplishment to shove them in the washer and throw in some liquid but then won’t hang or fold the fuckers! So I end up with about 6 loads in our bedroom to fold and put away.

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 13/11/2018 00:06

Despite having a designated basket for dirty clothes right next to where he gets undressed, he still drops his dirty clothes on the floor.

Itslookinglikeabeautifulday · 13/11/2018 00:22

Brings home other people’s tat and fills up our shed with it then gets the right hump if I try to tidy “his” (it’s not his, I paid half) shed. Will not throw anything away from sacred “come in handy” shed tat mountain. All that shite will NEVER come in handy.

ImNotReallyAWaitress · 13/11/2018 02:17

Regularly pebble dashes the toilet because he has a food intolerance but eats the food that causes a flare up - fine, his choice.

Doesn’t ever actually clean the toilet properly when this happens.

BitOfFun · 13/11/2018 02:34

"Only cleans my car once a month"- you're winding us up, right?

JustJoinedRightNow · 13/11/2018 02:41

Thestral - that’s classic! Thanks for a giggle. Same here!

Boobahs · 13/11/2018 02:50

@CheddarIsNotTheOnlyCheese That has really really tickled me! Grin

I'm currently awake due to having a sickness bug so I'm sandwiched between my toddler and DP and trying desperately not to snort out loud at your comment! I bet the shaking with laughter will have an effect soon though, shhhhh! Smile

Mumof1DS · 13/11/2018 03:36

The laziness. I will have put DS to bed and come downstairs after to find it hasn't even crossed his mind to start the tea, make us lunches for work the next day, generally do any of the jobs that need doing in the evening.
Cleaning his teeth once in a blue moon then breathing minging dirty teeth night breath over me when he mouth breathes during the night. Gag
Giving up trying to settle DS after 30 seconds and declaring he needs boobing to sleep.
Complete twat.

Weezol · 13/11/2018 03:41

@Changenameday There's a song about that:

thereallifesaffy · 13/11/2018 04:02

Annoying little coughs, like a horrible smell has passed his nose; using his tongue to draw food into his mouth ( when there might still be the remnants of the last mouthful visible - bleuch). KEEP YOUR TONGUE IN YOUr MOUTH I silently scream.

Crunched · 13/11/2018 04:09

When we return from holiday, he does all his washing and ironing/putting away before I have even unpacked my case.

CheddarIsNotTheOnlyCheese · 13/11/2018 05:27

Cheers Boobahs. Grin

DeadCertain · 13/11/2018 05:33

Constant sniffing and really loud snoring; most nights I end up moving to sleep on the sofa bed in the spare room. I know when he has woken up as the snoring (easily heard from downstairs with the TV on) turns to sniffing. Yuck.

DryHeave · 13/11/2018 05:38

Half-jobbing. For example: making a cup of tea will involve leaving the peeled off milk seal on the side, the teaspoon with teabag on another side and the lid of the teabag container off. Just do it right the first time!

Oh and asking where something is before even really making a proper attempt to look for it. I never respond to “where’s the...” any more because a second later it’s “...never mind, it’s here.” Invariably once he’s actually moved his field of vision a centimetre or lifted up a few things.

lostvoice · 13/11/2018 06:03

Grin so many of these my DH does! Dirty dishes next to an empty dishwasher, will tidy, the kitchen but never wipe down the sidesConfused

But I think it's the socks.. always just get to the bottom of my wash basket, and then there are yesterday's socks, normally under the sofa cushion!

Strangely DM used to do exactly the sameHmm

sadkoala · 13/11/2018 07:47

I sympathize with the loud sneezers. DP isn't as bad as the PPs but sneezes are prefaced with a loud half roar half scream of "aaaah" which used to terrify DS when he was little. Same goes for loud sniffing when he's got a bit of a runny nose. Luckily he's got great health so far and rarely ever needs to sneeze/sniffle.

I think most annoying (or up there) is his idea of cleaning. We're currently in a bit of a cluttered mess that we are trying to tackle. He will get annoyed about an area let's say the kitchen as it usually has clutter all over worktops etc and he will take it all off and scrub the worktops, do the dishes etc you name it and then just leave the clutter on a different surface (aka dining table) for it to magically sort itself out. Then when the inevitable happens and it all creeps back onto the worktops because it was never sorted he will talk about how he sorted it and it's all a mess now as "we" didn't maintain it .

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 13/11/2018 08:09

He will never admit he's wrong about anything

LakieLady · 13/11/2018 08:18

He takes his socks off during the evening ... and leaves them on the living room floor. If I don't ask him to take them up and put them in the laundry basket, he would just add pair after pair until there was a fucking sock mountain in the sitting room.

On the plus side, his socks don't smell, so I suppose it could be worse.
