StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 13/11/2018 10:38

drama queen tendencies when he does anything like stubs a toe, big shout, grimace, limp the whole works, should have been a footballer Grin

KM99 · 13/11/2018 11:10

I'm convinced my OH is secretly in relationships/married to about 50% of the posters on this topic 😂😂😂😂

goose1964 · 13/11/2018 11:13

Everything has to be done his way, could be a problem but I leave it all to him

CarrieBlu · 13/11/2018 11:26

Oh and whilst I’m rarely ill, when I am he always has the same thing and definitely has it worse than me....apparently Hmm doesn’t stop him going out to watch the football or going to the pub whilst I’m lying in bed genuinely ill though. I told him in advance that when I was in labour, I would kill him if he dared to bring up any of his bullshit, non existent aches and pains.

Kewqueue · 13/11/2018 11:28

It is 50:50 as to whether he will remember to take his keys with him to work or forget, walk out the door and then ring the doorbell incessantly when I have just got into the shower.

Rigamorph · 13/11/2018 11:31

Hate is a strong word, but it does irk me when DP shaves over the sink and doesn't clean it after.

cricketmum84 · 13/11/2018 11:31

@LipstickTraces my DS does this, plus cracks his toes and his neck. I may chop something off him if he keeps doing it. 😡

Deliphant · 13/11/2018 11:35

Doesn't put things away. Sometimes I'll point out he's left something out and he'll then move it nearer the drawer / cupboard /toolbox, but he finds it very hard to actually put it where it belongs.

RaspberryBlonde · 13/11/2018 11:35

He believes that ‘out of sight’ means the same as ‘tidy’. I am constantly finding things in random drawers and cupboards.

Does mean he is super quick at tidying up compared to me though!

Athena51 · 13/11/2018 11:53

@Omgineedanamechange

Faffing, he could faff for England except he’d be late for the contest due to fucking faffing

That's made me snort laugh Grin

BunsOfAnarchy · 13/11/2018 11:56

Taking a shit is a half an hour event. And then he never opens the window and never leaves the fan on and never closes the toilet lid and never at the least sprays air freshner. He clearly wants the hallway to smell of his shit anf for the smell to never leave the bathroom

BunsOfAnarchy · 13/11/2018 11:58

Ah, and also, (this has just fucked me off thinking about it), cutting his nails and toenails is also a fucking scheduled event where it NEEDS to be after hes had a shower and it takes also a minimum of 20 fucking minutes.

Why the fuck why why why why.

Lunalula · 13/11/2018 12:03

Often when putting a quick ready meal in oven on a baking tray, then serving buy putting baking tray back in oven.
Sometimes I don't realise and preheat oven the next day to put food in and find the baking tray with yesterdays burnt crumbs on it...

NobodysChild · 13/11/2018 12:09

Won't get his hair cut and insists on looking like his mothers twin with a tea cosy hair do.

Has his van radio turned up to 1000 with shite music blasting out.

Ringing me up saying I've got you a prezzie, turns out it's pallets for burning.

BunsOfAnarchy · 13/11/2018 12:23

Ah gosh another one a PP just reminded me.

Leaving my car radio on TalkSport every time hes used it. It just winds me up cuz its fuckin blares in as soon as i turn the ignition.

Boatsnack3 · 13/11/2018 12:41

@winterfellismyhome mine wears 2 pairs of socks at a time too except he wears 2 pairs to the gym and another 2 pairs to work, then another 2 pairs if we go anywhere in the evening 6 fucking pairs of socks per day Angry

He also obsessively opens the windows even if I am in bed after night shift and it's-4 outside.

He empties the kitchen bin but instead of replacing the bin bag he hangs a carrier bag on the door handle it is absolutely infuriating.

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 13/11/2018 12:47

I like this thread!

Mine is lovely, I love him but...

The farting. The update on the fact he has farted.

Eating with his mouth open.

Keeping his socks on in bed. Weirdo.

Having said that, I wouldnt want to be with anyone else.

DryHeave · 13/11/2018 13:24

@lunalula I once started a fire that way - sausages had been grilled and fatty grill slammed back into oven (Hmm). I came along the next day and set oven to preheat. Cue fire in the pan. Luckily we have one a fire blanket and I know how to use it.

HearMeSnore · 13/11/2018 13:25

Accumulating stuff. Mountains and mountains of useless crap. Like a Jiffy bag full of cable ties that he buys off eBay, uses one and leaves the rest lying around. Packages arrive for him every day. The garage is piled high with boxes of shit that he "needs". He's got a separate shed for all his crap so that I have somewhere for the gardening tools, and I still keep finding stuff all over the house.

Before we married his parents did warn me that he comes with a lot of accessories...so I shouldn't complain. But I do. Often.

OutPinked · 13/11/2018 13:29

Puts teabags in the sink. Had an ELCS a fortnight ago so for the first week he was in charge of the house. He isn’t the best at cleaning and struggles greatly to multi task so the house looked pretty bad. When my DM visited one of the first things she asked was why we had a teabag collection in the sink Angry. I’ve always despised it about him.

Likewise he always leaves his shoes in the doorway basically asking people to trip over them.

crosser62 · 13/11/2018 13:30

Walks past the coat hooks next to the fucking front door to put his coat on the back of a dining room god damned bastard chair.
I could kill him in the fucking face for this.

OutPinked · 13/11/2018 13:30

Puts his dirty clothes on top of the laundry bin instead of inside them.

He does this sometimes as well.

MrsMarigold · 13/11/2018 13:33

He leaves, glasses, teacups, wine bottles, plates all over the house and he told the DC it's fine to do this as there is a fairy who clears up... I've told him the fairy is going on strike.

Also he never sorts out recycling from rubbish.

malificent7 · 13/11/2018 13:35

Crumbs in margarine.... infuriating!

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 13/11/2018 13:36

Acting like a dog with a waggy tail anytime he cleans up/hoovers waiting for praise.

I DO THIS EVERY DAY
