Things your DP says that drives you mad

[Butterflyflower1234]

We can't be the only couple that argue over little things that are said but they drive you bonkers.

Last night my DP told me to 'chill out' which drives me insane. I am chilled!! I just give a damn about things.

Also he has a habit of asking when I'm 'due on' if I'm being a bit moody.

He's generally pretty awesome so these are just silly things that drive me bonkers. Do you have any things like this to share?

Currans instead of currants. Because currants are electricity. I love her.

I say "oh god!"
He says "yes?"

Every time. Twat.

Mine says “we’ll see” a lot, for example -
me: the apprentice is on tonight, do you fancy watching it?
Him: we’ll see
Drives me mad and makes me feel as though he thinks he decides everything. We’ll see about what? Whether I’ve been good?

Also, if I ask him how I look Or anything similar he says “fine”. Not nice, or lovely, but fine. Which basically means satisfactory.

Oh, and yes, tickled, mine is also a "devil's advocate".

DP says, "I'll sort it" with no explanation to how this will be done. If we can't afford something, or we have no way of getting somewhere, or we need to do X by Y date and there's only a day left, he says, "I'll sort it" but I want a how, what and why rather than a vague answer! Maybe I'm annoying

"I don't mind. Whatever you like." Dinner, going out, anything where a decision would be fucking helpful.

Basically.... every.other.word!!

Current irritations are:

• “oh dear” if I tell him something upsetting over text
• “did she/he/they/it?” If I say, for example, “X said/did suchandsuch”. Well yes or I wouldn’t have effing said it!

Last night my DP told me to 'chill out' which drives me insane. I am chilled!! I just give a damn about things.

DP's equivalent is 'wooooosaaaaaaaaah'

Thankfully it's usually only when I'm getting wound up over something small or stupid and although it does my head in, it usually makes me laugh...eventually although not before lots of mutterings of I'll bloody woosah your face in a minute grumble grumble

Borrow instead of lend - "can you borrow me your laptop" - argh!

When watching TV/listening to the radio and a town he once went to is mentioned he'll say oooh I know town just mentioned . No you don't know it, you know of it or you have been there. Occasionally he does it with famous people too, he doesn't actually know these people.

"Yapping" it gives me the rage.

He's uses it all far frequently and every time I have to say how much I hate it. I'm convinced he does it on purpose now.

OMG there are so many ones your DP do that my DP also does lol

Thinks like the 'oh god' ' yes' and 'it is what it is' (No Shit Sherlock!) . He also says 'at the end of the day' (A LOT) which annoys the feck out of me.

Do any of you pull your DP up on the things that bother you? I did yesterday (mid argument so not the right moment) and he said all I do is tell him things he can't say (which isn't true).

Mine cant get the name of Englands 2nd city right. Calls it Burningham.

f00k, mine vaguely says "We'll sort something out".
Translation: I can't really be arsed to think about the logistics of that and anyway, doesn't having a penis exempt me from all that dull shit? You're being uptight and harshing my mellow when I want to loaf around watching Youtube videos of people falling out of trees.

Also "It'll not be far away"
Translation: You appear agitated. I am saying something soothing and helpful so I don't have to get off my arse to help you find whatever it is you're looking for, and can continue to watch youtube videos of ships crashing into docks.

The latter expression closely rivalled by his mum's, "Oops, careful!" after anyone drops, spills or trips over anything- every single time- as the most useless annoying comment ever.

Me: "Ok, we need to sort x AND y. What a pain."
Him (in manly voice): "Don't panic about it. There's no need to get worked up. We'll get it sorted.

Note: I wasn't even slightly panicking. I am irritated though.

It is what it is here as well. Very passive-aggressive, wow is me, I’m so hard done by but I’ll claim I won’t moan about it by saying this phrase.

after i've been up and down all night with the kids and he wakes up at 10am - 'i'm so tired'. fuck off.

@NoWayNoHow

That actually made me laugh!

“Wha’?” instead of “what?”, or “pardon?”. Drives me fucking mad!

“That’s horseshit”, meaning “that’s rubbish” the word is bullshit! Say bullshit!

And, my friends, he’s guilty of “should of” and “could of” when he KNOWS it’s “have” because I tell him EVERY TIME.

Mine says mysell instead of might as well. And it grates on my last nerve!

I return the favour by saying "it's just a game" when his footy team loses. It makes the little vein on the side of his forehead pop out

He's not a native English speaker and for some reason, he started copying the way Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders says 'thank you'.

It's SO grating.

My DH will answer the simplest question, such as "What time is it?" with the words "I have no idea" .....delivered in a sort of "not only do I not know, but also I don't care and who the hell do you think you are daring to ask me something so impertinent?"

Drives me potty!! Why can't he just say "I don't know" ......??!! ARGH!!

Not so much words or phrases, but while he’s in the bathroom of a morning he will whistle whatever is in his head, and basically gets to set my earworm for the day! Drives me potty 😆

(I’ve taken to preempting him and starting our day with my own tunes, but it isn’t 100% effective!
