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’ve had to revisit this thread and it’s brilliant. I have thought about what I do that probably gives DH the rage and it would probably go as follows:

I will invariably ask him to get me something or do something as he’s just about to sit down - I don’t mean to but I can never seem to get the timing right 😂

I make a massive list of chores that need doing and get pissed off AT MYSELF for not getting them done in the small amount of time I have to do them - then moan I didn’t do them and he’s just sat there thinking “I don’t see the problem here...”

Add things to the shopping list as he’s about to leave the house to go to the shop.

Apologise for stupid shit that I don’t need to apologise for.

Another one he does that winds me up, he requests that if I need to talk during one of his programmes that I either pause or wait until an ad break... but he can talk whenever he wants during his shows AND MINE! 😂

Drapes his worn clothes over the balcony!

Chews his finger nails

A perfect example of DH's faffing.
I was 40+4 and my waters broke spectacularly, Hollywood style. My contractions started instantly, were so strong and every couple of minutes. We'd just moved into our house and everything was still in bags and boxes. I asked DH to grab a plastic bag to put on the sofa for me to sit on. I didn't want to get waters on the sofa. He can't locate an empty one and he's dithering looking at all the plastic bags of stuff deciding what to do. He finally selects one and starts laboriously unpacking it and putting things away, deciding which cupboard the items should live in, rearranging them. Meanwhile I'm struggling to stand, leaning against the wall. I absolutely lost my shit.
"JUST HOOF IT ON THE FUCKING FLOOR!!!!"

Ooh. Mine doesn't live with me and I'm struggling to see how I would cope if we moved in together.
He will make a snack and bring it into the lounge with NO FUCKING PLATE.
Puts dirty plates on top of the dishwasher. Why not IN?
Leaves the TV on standby
Puts tea bags in the recycling bin. I could go on.

@LadyRannaldini [cue spooky Twilight Zone music] we are married to the same man and we possess the exact same washing up bowl aaaand we eat the same dinners with the red bits that get stuck in the plug hole. Eeeek 👻

Mine is so ridiculously petty.
When he sneezes he goes AH-HEH rather than ACHOOO and there is something so wrong about it it drives me mad 😂

Plays Drake. Loudly. All the fucking time. I absolutely hate it so much I want to cry.

Says haitch instead of aitch (as in the letter H.

Never puts an empty cup/glass in the kitchen, just leaves it wherever he finished the drink.

Huge great big shoes left in random places to trip over.

Announces when he’s going to the toilet then seems to spend a bizarrely long time in there.

When we first got together he use to drink out the milk bottle, gave me the rage, he doesnt do it anymore

Coat hangers. Fucking coat hangers. Left everywhere, anywhere, bent out of shape to fit over door frames, never ever brought out of his wardrobe and returned to the front of the rail in a group or God Forbid brought back down to the laundry room, so that when I do laundry I have to hunt around the house to find the fuckers. Makes me homicidal and is so very, very trivial really.

This is my kind of thread.

If he wants to stir something on the hob, he will take two wooden spatulas and use them both at once like he is tossing a salad. I literally cannot bear it and have to leave the room.

He once cooked baked beans in a frying pan.

The other day we had some left over baked beans and he put them in a little sandwich bag in the fridge.

He always leaves cupboard doors open.

I’m sure there are more.

I am constantly being kegged. This secretly gives me the rage because he makes it difficult for me whenever I try and do that to him but I've learned to pounce when he is at his most vulnerable like when he is doing the dishes for example. He'll usually let out a sigh and throw bubbles at me or wet me with the sponge which usually ends up in a water fight of some sort despite me trying to flee into another room whenever I notice him gearing up.

Is “kegged” a typo?

Flower777 TWO spatulas? 😱

As well as the "giving me little presents but making me work to get them" (see earlier post), as he loves giving me surprises, over the years he's upped the ante on my birthday. It's used to be that I'd have to close my eyes for thirty seconds before seeing my birthday cake - OK. But now I have to wait thirty minutes or more, blindfolded, while he drives me somewhere and cheerfully refuses to tell me where. The destination is always well-chosen, but until we get there I feel like a teenager on Youtube, or one of Supernanny's unruly children, being made to sit on the naughty step for one minute of my age. I love his efforts, but I wish he didn't do the "making me wait"!

Letsgomaths I couldn’t be doing with that.

Eats with his hands, eschews the knife and fork. My dd has adopted the same habit. His dad does exactly the same. I watch and I rage inside.

Being “kegged” constantly would make me ltb.

As would the long drawn out obeying like a puppy to receive presents 🙈

Eats loudly
Uses knife and fork round the wrong way
Never says no, it's always "i'm ok" or whatever
Doesn't know how to make tea how i like it, and has tried to tell me i'm wrong when I've told him how i like it 🤯
Leaves phone on vibrate overnight so it buzzes and i wake up. He sleeps through it obviously.
Tidies around me - like cleans the stirring spoon while i'm still cooking

What is “kegged”? Dictionary says it is to “put into a barrel” lol!

@amcor pulling down their trousers and underwear

Justjuggling i also have a poo announcer. It's wretched!

Puts his letters back into envelopes but portrait, so his filing involves piles of wonky stuffed envelopes. Why doesn’t he just put them in the recycling?

Flushing the loo half way through a pee.
