Jupiter13 · 13/11/2018 23:17

She forgot to put the bins out this week..☹️

bump98 · 13/11/2018 23:22

Leaves his bloody wet bath towel on the bed !!! EVERYTIME

SunflowerJo08 · 13/11/2018 23:24

Does it have to be one? For me the absolute top of the list has to be noisy eating. The man chews Weetabix ffs.

Threeminis · 13/11/2018 23:29

His beard.

EugenesAxe · 14/11/2018 07:53

My DH does quite a lot of these, but the thing that most comes to mind is standing behind me to talk when I’m referencing something on the computer, munching a sandwich he’s just knocked up. Hearing every munchy mastication makes my skin crawl.

One more though - not flushing in the night to avoid disturbing the children, then forgetting to flush in the morning. I rarely use the family bathroom in the hall and often only realise this has happened when I can smell urine coming from it 🤢 This is his mum’s “don’t talk out loud under the children’s bedrooms after they’ve gone down” influence; I always flush and nobody ever wakes up.

I've got another.... shit aim when having a piss with a morning erection!!! As I found out this morning when I f-ing stood in it.

If you are going to piss all over the floor mate at least clean it up!!!!

😡😡😡

toomanycuddlytoys · 14/11/2018 09:06

Getting up at the last minute weekends then shouting because we will apparently be late. By this time I have packed all the gear for indoor climbing, done breakfast for DS/got him ready, cleaned, made packed lunch etc 😡

JellyBears · 14/11/2018 09:11

No my husband but my boss (I’m a nanny) he is apparently incapable of using a dishwasher as everything gets left next to it lol

FrankieChips · 14/11/2018 09:16

He wants to talk to me about politics all the time and asks my opinion when I don’t really have one other than “they are all the same”. I’ve tried to read more about politics but find it hard to trust anyone for real information so iceman given up. It’s a shame as he’s so passionate about it but I just can’t get into it.

ChocolateTearDrops · 14/11/2018 09:19

Removes paper from clipboards (we run a social club) so the handy clipboard with the flier with the Christmas dinner choices on and the list of people who want to go, have chosen and paid (vital!) is separated from each other. Then accuses me of not being able to keep records. I then find the aforementioned list upside down in the scrap paper drawer where he's "tidied" it. Of course he didn't do that. Hmm

It makes me want to chain the briefcase of vital papers to my wrist when I leave the house! Angry

cricketmum84 · 14/11/2018 09:58

@FrankieChips I get this but with sport. "Do you remember x who used to play for y back in the 90s??" Mate I barely remember anything I did in the 90s let alone random sports people!!

sunshineandthunder · 14/11/2018 15:04

Doesn't take the top slice of bread (under the heel) from a loaf. Instead, he excavates the whole bloody bag leaving torn crusts, bent slices and indented thumb prints in pursuit of the softest 2 bits of bread. Arse.

PippilottaLongstocking · 14/11/2018 16:51

Thought of another one! He folds crisp packets into neat little triangles that somehow don’t unfold and have very hard corners, then leaves them on the nearest table/shelf/windowsill or my favourite just on the floor where I then stand on them...

Sirrah · 14/11/2018 17:08

He eats really noisily.
He cuts his toenails in the living room.
He thinks I don't know he still smokes.... after 30 years.
He fills every inch of available space... The whole bed, or the whole sofa. This has earned him the nickname "Slime".
Every time we plan to go somewhere or do something, he spends the next week/month/year asking stupid questions about minor decisions which can be made closer to the time.
He always puts the wire grid into the grill pan the wrong way up, with the legs pointing up. Every time.

He is good though, he's great at housework!

Silab · 14/11/2018 17:35

Speaking with food in his mouth. And he is the loudest drinker ever.....

Drummingisfun · 14/11/2018 17:36

It takes him sooooooo long to get ready and out of the house, it's just ridiculous. I can get two small kids and myself up, dressed breakfasted and out the door in less than an hour. If he is home it adds at least 45 mins.

And he never does the fecking laundry. Even when he's off work for several weeks at a time. It makes me stabby.

Notreallyhappy · 14/11/2018 17:37

Passes the dishwasher to put dishes in front of the microwave so you cant open the door Angry

Notreallyhappy · 14/11/2018 17:39

Also having the inability to think something needs cleaning....well not actually doing any housework without being asked

catx1606 · 14/11/2018 17:40

The mess, leaves his coat on the back of the sofa, empties his pockets on the side, leaves empty packets right by the bin. The list goes on but I love him and wouldn't be without him

bakingdemon · 14/11/2018 17:41

Two pots of yoghurt in the fridge. One best before date 24th November, the other 1st December. Guess which one he opens?

KellyW88 · 14/11/2018 18:10

I don’t hate him for this but it does annoy me - as soon as something happens that puts him out in any way, he’ll start stomping through the home, throwing things around - never anything heavy or at anybody (he’s not abusive), slams doors, drawers, cupboard doors (whatever he needs to move/open at the time) - mutters a lot of swear words under his breath... basically he throws a massive tantrum and I used to just ignore him until it ended.... but since our twins were born I worry about what it’s teaching them (they’ve just turned 12 months) D:

Zofloraborealis · 14/11/2018 18:27
  1. The endless moaning

  2. If it's not right in front of his face he can't find it

  3. Incredibly overdramatic reaction to the most minor discomfort

  4. Mansplaining

  5. Leaves beard trimmings everywhere

Sorry, I couldn't limit the list!

AmandaBuffamonteezi · 14/11/2018 18:36

He does this thing when a song comes on the radio where he'll sing the song during the intro. Either like part of the chorus or a random line from the song but it won't be in time to the music or anything. I don't know why but it really winds me up!

But if that's my biggest problem I think I'm quite lucky.

It really pisses me off though. Like, just wait for the song to start and then sing along!

TheLastNigel · 14/11/2018 18:40

His dress sense. He's so handsome but he doesnt think he is and it's like he's scared to make any effort in case he doesn't think the results are any good, and it will make him less confident. He thus shuffles about in old horrible t shirts and awful trainers. It makes me a bit sad really.
