My DH puts his dirty socks into the linen bin rolled into tight balls that I have to unravel before putting them into the machine. Moaning at him didnt work, explaining my point of view didn't work ....... tying each sock into a very tight knot when they were dry - that worked!

He makes a duckface and huffs loudly onto his glasses before polishing them. I can't tell you quite why this grinds my gears so badly.

insists on looking like his mothers twin with a tea cosy hair do

Decants stuff into other fucking stuff and mixes stuff together.

If we're about to finish a bottle of washing up liquid, he'll pour the remainder of the old bottle into the new one.

If there are two different flavours of squash in the cupboard, he'll use both at once.

I love everything about her tbf

Oldgranny · 13/11/2018 17:32

You'll be sorry when he's dead

EmeraldShamrock · 13/11/2018 17:37

BingChandler What a great idea. I am going to try this.

It is balling socks and very loud slapping when eating while crashing the fork off his teeth every few bites. it drives me bonkers

fishonabicycle · 13/11/2018 17:59

So many recurring themes here! Mine is quite conventional: throws laundry towards the laundry basket, doesn't put things away, often leaves stuff in sink rather than dishwasher, starts doing something (generally phones someone) as soon as I say dinner is almost ready, tucks sweet wrappers down side of sofa, or leaves them on the arm of the sofa, walks around eating without a plate so bits drop everywhere ...

Mammylamb · 13/11/2018 18:39

He’s a much more capable parent than me! Gets everything done with no fuss while looking after DS. Never moans about it.

JudasPrudy · 13/11/2018 18:43

Rings me to ask what's for dinner but pretends he's not ringing to ask what's for dinner. Also our service is poor here so things really should be said quickly. Conversations go like

Me: hello, hellooooooo, hello
Him: hello
Me: hi
silence
Him: hello can you hear me
Him: hangs up
Him: rings back
Me: hello
Him: hello
Me: losing patience by this stage well....?
Him: just on the way home from work
Me: ok
Him: any dinner?

I don't know why he doesn't just text me?

ClemDanFango · 13/11/2018 18:43

Pulls the strainer plug thingy out of the sink every time he washes up EVERY. FUCKING. TIME, next time I go to wash up the plug hole is full of rancid bits of food 🤮🤮🤮🤮 one day I’m going to collect it up and leave it under his pillow, he likes to slide his hands under it when he sleeps 😈

LilMy33 · 13/11/2018 18:53

He tells me when he’s just been for a poo. So I’ll whatsapp him asking what he’s up to and he’ll tell me he’s either on the toilet or just been. His bowels, his business I’m happy not knowing. He knows this and still tells me. Not even his snoring pisses me off that much. I must have delicate sensibilities.

Bodicea · 13/11/2018 19:19

He slurps his tea. My mum does too. There is no escape for me!

MamaHechtick · 13/11/2018 19:26

Constantly nag's the kids to go to the toilet despite him having a weak bladder because his parents did exactly the same thing to him.

Kitkatiom · 13/11/2018 19:45

As soon as we are ready to leave the house. No matter what the time of day. Dd coat on walking to the front door he disappears into the bathroom. For at least 15/20 minutes.
We have coats on by the door ready to leave !!! Seriously!!! 😤

HashTagLil · 13/11/2018 20:20

He fidgets. All. The. Time.

Petitprince · 13/11/2018 20:24

Mumbles. Makes me want to shout.

UsedBySomebodyAlready · 13/11/2018 20:47

Writing lists/phone numbers/random things on those little square bits of paper that come in a block and then leaving them to float around the house. It drives me INSANE.

jaseyraex · 13/11/2018 21:02

Opens a new carton of milk before the old one is finished because he doesn't like "the end bit". Infuriating and down right weird!

WTBE · 13/11/2018 21:07

" think I'm coming down with something"
DH "Oh yes I had that the other day, floored me"

"I was stuck in traffic for ages today"
DH "I waited 5 weeks for a bus once" 🙄🙄🙄

Nothininmenoggin · 13/11/2018 21:20

Snoring very very LOUDLY then telling me HE hasn't slept well????
Keeping every scrappy bit of bloody paper with rubbish written on it in case he needs it.
Always losing car key / any key /wallet.
Spending all night in the bloody garage on that pissin motorbike.
Money spent on said pissin motorbike.
Going to the supermarket and spending £40 on absolute rubbish crisps multiple packets of and beer and dips!!!
Leaving all his clothes all over the floor.
Always thinking he is right even when he isn't.
Keeping all his rubbish and computer on dining table so meals on knees every night.
Jeez that feels better now I've got that off my chest. I must be a bloody saint tho he would beg to differ no doubt.

namechange00 · 13/11/2018 21:22

I wish we could all magically find out what they would say about us 😂 but let's be honest asking would calls all sorts of trouble 👀

golddustwomen · 13/11/2018 21:32

Loud eating
Sticking his tongue out whilst eating 🤢
Constant fucking sniffing
Leaving dirty clothes anywhere and everywhere
Leaving wet towel on the bed or the floor
Black sock fluff all over the bedroom carpet
Never putting anything away
Ball scratching
Locking the plate after eating 🤢
I could go on all night..
God he's a fucking dirty messy pig

golddustwomen · 13/11/2018 21:34

Jasey - I do that 😳😂

UsedBySomebodyAlready · 13/11/2018 22:13

I know exactly what things that he would say about me. Luckily we are comfortable enough to know what we hate about each other but love each other anyway! I wouldn't want him to change. Yes the scrappy bits of paper everywhere and the fart clouds get me riled up but he does more than enough good stuff to make up for it.

She's not got up the ladders and cleaned the guttering this month.
