Mines is more he is a culprit of my pet hate of noisy chewers.

He also always eats his cereal with a tiny teaspoon and it’s just not right to me at all,

Do your dp’s have frustrating traits? AIBU to ask you to share?

Breathing 👀
He blows his nose straight after a shit, regardless of the time. Prick sounds like a foghorn.

Iusedtobeapartygirl · 07/02/2020 19:35

Mine leaves mud all over the house.

Apart from that he's a wonderful, kind, funny man, so I forgive him.

Dreamersandwishers · 07/02/2020 19:36

Puts the dishwasher on without asking whether I need to add anything. Every bloody morning.

hula008 · 07/02/2020 19:36

Ooh I love eating cereal with a small spoon as it feels like it lasts longer 😂

2020runner · 07/02/2020 19:37

My cant breath through his nose (a medical thing) and honestly it drives me potty

PickleMyPepper · 07/02/2020 19:38

He's always too bloody hot.

It's great this weather because if I'm feeling cold I just go and sit on him, but in the summer sleeping next to each other is like torture.

I love him though and he's great in every other way so I can forgive it... sometimes..

Hands on his hips all the time, super pointy elbows that take up the fucking kitchen

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 07/02/2020 19:38

Not listening to whatever I am saying. Even if I am replying to a question he has asked!. He’ll ask the question, zone out while I answer, and ask the same bloody question 10 minutes later.

Yes!!! I'm constantly walking around DH's elbows in the kitchen.

Wonderland18 · 07/02/2020 19:49

Omg elbows I didn’t even think of that! 😂

The blowing his nose after a shit thing cracked me up too 🙈

Sniffing. Constant fucking sniffing. It drives me insane. Some times I snap and scream “Stop fucking sniffing!” But nothing changes. I swear I will cite it in our divorce.

Minai · 07/02/2020 19:52

Snoring. The bloody snoring. Haven’t had a full nights sleep in 10 years.

Raera · 07/02/2020 19:56

He is so-wet!!
He soaks 2 large bath sheets every time he showers.
Nobody can be that wet!

M0mmyneedswine · 07/02/2020 19:57

Talking with food in his mouth, i tell him its horrible everytime but he continues to do it

calmama · 07/02/2020 19:58

Oh, there are so many...

But here’s one that drives me needlessly batty. He never drinks a normal-sized mouthful of liquids. He takes tiny sip after tiny sip after tiny sip, hovering the glass near his lips while he does it. They’re such minuscule sips yet each swallow is noisy AF. It’s all I can do not to explode: “Just drink your bloody drink already!”

whatdayevenisit · 07/02/2020 19:58

Whenever he says yes or no, it sounds like the same word and comes out like a 'nnnyyyaaa' irritates the life out of me when I'm asking a question

PriscillaTheHun · 07/02/2020 19:58

Mine hangs his worn pants and socks on the bannisters to "air"

snappycamper · 07/02/2020 19:59

Horrible fucking throat clearing. And claiming to have a shit memory when he can remember things perfectly well if he is interested in them. Domestic shit: no memory.

snappycamper · 07/02/2020 20:00

And the noisy chewing, how could I forget that?! He gets that from his mother, I can't handle mealtimes with them, it makes me want to stab them both.

shinyredbus · 07/02/2020 20:02

Puts the dishes on top of the dishwasher WHEN ITS EMPTY. I mean. Why the fuck?!!??

Postmanbear · 07/02/2020 20:05

My DH leaves a small amount of food or drink every single time. The most annoying is the one mouthful of breakfast cereal and milk left on the side ALL DAY. But when I load the dishwasher each glass/mug has an inch of drink left in it. I have no idea why he can’t just finish things or tip it away himself.

FizzyPink · 07/02/2020 20:05

He expects me to answer his questions or reply to his comments regardless of what I’m doing at the same time. And often they are rather inane ridiculous questions. But if I ask him anything while he’s watching tv/texting/eating/absolutely anything else he cannot possibly hear me or reply as he’s concentrating much too hard on the task at hand Hmm

Bringmethesunshine · 07/02/2020 20:09

Playing golf. Always playing fucking golf.

PotatoesPastaAndBread · 07/02/2020 20:09

Aside from loud chewing, it's a weird jaw clicking thing he does when he's thinking, or reading quietly (including in bed). Oh my Christ it's all I can do not to brain him with the bedside lamp!

Slurping his drinks and loud chewing
