What’s the most minor thing your other half does that unreasonably winds you up?

[FiveFarthings]

Confession time just for fun (need some light relief after being up all night with baby!)

What’s the most minor thing that your other half does that unreasonably winds you up?

For me, it’s that my husband squeezes the tube of tooth paste from the middle rather than the bottom, leaving the tube all twisted so you can’t get anything out. It is such a minor thing but my god it makes me rage and I am totally disproportionately unreasonable about it!

Anyone else have anything similar?

I leave things to soak. But then I wash them the next morning.

Takes off like Mo Farah if he pushes the trolley in the supermarket

I'm a bit like this, because I hate supermarkets and want to get out ASAP. I hate shopping with DH because he treats it like a leisurely day out and ambles along at a maddeningly slow pace. Hence, we rarely go to the supermarket together.

Typical small stuff like leaving the bog seat up, dropping his dirty clothes on the floor like a kid, also dropping his clean clothes on the floor so I never know without sniffing if it's clean or not, turning the duvet round the wrong way...

Crying laughing at some of these. I can feel the anger behind the words!

Buttering toast on the worktop & leaving the crumbs
Putting dirty dishes in the sink rather than the dishwasher RIGHT NEXT TO IT!
Putting the football on the telly then proceeding to look at phone instead of damn telly
Asking me multiple times a day ... 'What's the plan?'
Football boots leaving those black dots from the AstroTurf EVERYWHERE in the hall
Being incapable of rushing when were late
Going to the shop for 2 things and having to ring me from the shop as he's forgotten 2 THINGS!

God I love him but ... Argh!

Every night from about 20 minutes before HE wants to go to bed he will ask me every 5 minutes "are you drinking up?", "you finished that now?", "are you done yet?"

Tonight I actually snapped back at him and said "I'm a 35 year old woman for ducks sake, I'm finishing my drink without constantly being FUCKING TOLD!!!"

Slight overreaction maybe but I've had it every night for 11.5 years.

He suddenly sticks his elbows out, e.g., in kitchen or in hallway. He's taller than me so it knocks me in the face. I'm terrified of elbows now and as I walk near him i shout "Elbows" as a warning. Actually it happens lots in crowded places from other men too. I'm only 5ft. I need to start a campaign - it's sizism.

Always knows the way to wherever we're going but never actually does! He's got a built in Sat Nav for God's sake but will he use it? No.Waits until we're lost before using it. Every. Bloody. Time. Drives me INSANE!

Doesn't finish his sentences. It's worse when he has had a drink. Which winds me up even more.

Has sneezing fits that go on forever.

Eats a yoghurt by putting a spoonful in his mouth and then slowly brings the spoon out with yoghurt still on it....repeats until spoon is empty.
Floods the bathroom after every shower. Just stand on the mat!
Needs nagging to cut his disgusting toenails.
Refuses to disagree or argue with me as he thinks I'm perfect. Which is actually quite frustrating as I'm far from it

Oh there's loads. Never replaces loo roll, just balances the new one on the empty roll. Pours a glass of milk and ALWAYS leaves a bit. Puts the kitchen handtowel in a crumpled heap on the table. Leaves his ( huge) shoes in the middle of the lounge floor. And loads more. Luckily for him he's also brilliant so I love him.

Says ‘as I said’ as a preference to some inane thing he repeats to which I respond ‘yes, as you said, I heard you the first time’ arghhhhh

Uses americanisms. It. Is. Infuriating.

“Shall we take the elevator?”

No but let’s go in the fucking lift?!!!

Feels compelled to come in and give me updates on a football match he's watching while I'm watching a tense drama in the other room. Speak to a fucking friend. I don't give a shit.

Opens something and starts using it before the current whatever it is is finished! Drives me BONKERS. We end up with half used shower gels, shampoos, toothpaste etc all over the house!

My husband is a bigamist, I have realised. He is also married to Oysterbabe. Our communal husband refuses to put away Tupperware. He will get it out of the dishwasher but leaves it on the worktop instead of putting it away.

Why? Why? He knows which drawer it lives in. I Marie Kondo-ed the kitchen cupboards and drawers last year. My theory is, he thinks that Tupperware boxes are beneath him or somehow worthy of contempt because they are a bit woman-ish or something, thus the woman must put them away ad he must minimise his contact with them.

Does anyone else's lay the jeans he wore today( if he deems them ok for tomorrow) neatly ON THE FLOOR of the bedroom when he goes to bed....why not put them on the chair?? Or wardrobe??? Please!! Drives me mad.

He puts the handbrake on too hard when he drives my car.

...The number of times I try to leave the house with the children in the car and growl, 'Your dad thinks we live on bloody Mount Everest!'....

His sneezes are ear-splitting screams.

He can't spell 'lettuce'.

It's pointless loading the dishwasher because he always rearranges it.

Yes, the updates on the football match THAT I AM NOT WATCHING.

I don’t want to know. That is because I do not care about the football match. That is why I am not watching it.

Mine also spends AGES on the toilet, he treats the bathroom like a man cave. Always seems to be when the baby needs changing or when we are about to leave the house. Pretty sure he sits playing games on his phone!

Oh, and he uses the phrase 'crack on.'

Yes yes the bloody football updates!!!

He will talk at me for ages about it! He even reads bits of football news to me as if I ducking care???

The transfer window was the worst time of my entire life. And I've been through meningitis, childbirth twice, bereavement and depression.....

And he never finishes a mug of coffee! He always leaves a little bit in the bottom and it winds me up!

He squeezes the toothpaste in the middle, puts the toilet roll on the wrong way round (his mother's fault!), and even after years and years of having 3 bins (1 for general waste, 1 for recycling and 1 for garden waste), he still doesn't know what our council accepts for recycling!

Where do I start?
Talks in a funny voice to foreigners, not in a piss take way but like he is trying to make it easier for them to understand him. WIERD.

Loads the dishwasher like he is being attacked by a swarm of angry bees, plates at all angles, so it's full after he puts three things in there. MURDER...

Picks his toenails and then cleans his teeth with the bits of toenails....GROSS

Generally if I asked him to stop doing something then that subconsciously becomes THE THING HE MUST DO at all costs. If I asked him not to glue his testicles to the carpet I would find him lying naked on the lounge floor with a tin of glue. It's almost like its deliberate.
