To ask your DP’s most annoying trait

[Wonderland18]

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?

Haha I was thinking of posting one of these today, so pleased someone has!

Mine is sock fluff... I don’t know how he does it, we buy all kinds from cheap to expensive socks but he manages to leave little black balls of fluff EVERYWHERE. Every room, in the shower, on the sofa. It drives me nuts and he thinks it’s hilarious that it drives me nuts.

Also pp sneezes, why do they have to be so dramatic! My DP has made babies cry after they’ve had a massive shock from their over exaggerated sneeze x

He listens to these boring tech podcasts. It's just a bunch of American hipsters with vocal fry talking about Google or Tesla or whatever.

He blows his nose like the brass section of the Royal Philharmonic. He's made small children cry from the racket!

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

Dude, just go get yourself some more fucking cereal if you want it to 'last longer'. What are you, five?

Sorry, you've triggered an 'icky' memory of an ex who did this with yogurt. Ick.

Where do I start! He moves at a snail's pace doing everything. He doesn't listen - genuinely doesn't hear as he's too zoned out. And is SO forgetful.

I'd forgotten about the little bits of black sock all over the carpet. My divorce is the gift that keeps on giving!!

Such a funny thread !

Kinda glad I'm single

He eats popcorn WITH A SPOON.

Vigorously shaking his yogurt before eating it.

Another one with a ridiculously loud sneezer. Like, they make the baby cry. She's not a jumpy baby - I think she thinks he's in pain.

Blows the top of a can of pop then taps it before opening every time. He's explained why and it kind of makes sense but it still annoys the life out of me

Must admit though that I am a noisy scream sneezer 🙈

He starts all comments, questions and stories in the middle. Expecting it to somehow make sense. So he’ll walk into the room I’m in and say ‘also, it’s only going to work if we can shift it to the seventeenth.’

I used to patiently try and decode the meaning, like a good little wifey. What part of our complicated calendar? The seventeenth what, fairway??

Now I just shout the word ‘Topic?’ at him without even pausing my activity. If he doesn’t give any salient facts after that, I’ll just respond with something equally obscure and put in headphones- ‘But that’ll interfere with the frog’s milkshake.’

Having about 5 different laughs, all of them loud! One is super high pitched but the most annoying is the laughing while eating! Also the very heavy breathing/snoring while awake!!!

Before I was permanently single the ex....

He scraped his teeth on his fork when he was eating
Put his wet snotty hankies under his pillow every night
Used to turn over in bed by literally throwing himself in the air!!
...actually thinking about these were his good points...I left him cause he was a vile abusive MTF!!

You know how some people experience hypnic jerks/involuntary twitching, just as they're drifting off to sleep? DH does it ALL FUCKING NIGHT. Sometimes quite violently, like he's being bloody tasered. The number of times he's woken me up is ridiculous, and I take ages to nod off now, because I'm laying there tensed up, waiting for the jerking to start.

I've threatened separate beds it's that unbearable. Oh, and he snores like a drowning warthog. Never has any trouble getting to sleep either...

He ALWAYS answers my questions with a question.

Me: “do you fancy Chinese for tea?” Him: “yeah?“
Me: “shall I give the dog some more food?” Him: “yeah?”

It’s INFURIATING!!

He scratches and strokes his beard constantly

In a way I’m glad my DH isn’t the only one who does this, but my god it is SO annoying!

DH also cannot seem to understand the concept of putting dirty clothes inside the basket. If the lid is on, he puts clothes on top. If the lid is off, the clothes go on the floor. WHY

@snappycamper I think we are married to the same man!!!
The throat clearing is called The 'our surname' throat clear - DS appears to have inherited it too
Memory - aaarghhhh - he can remember anything he wants about the sports he follows and his job. Anything else - he can't remember a thing.
Noisy eating - he eats with his mouth closed, completely, but the noises he makes.....
Plus breathes through his mouth at night and if he isn't snoring, he makes a clicking sound.
My blood pressure has gone up just listing all this!!!!!

DP sounds like a washing machine switching to rinse mode when he's chewing. So much saliva.

He’s so shit at washing up. Shit to the point I can tell what the meal was without having been in the house. He washes up, I then wash it all again. Like when you let a toddler ‘play house’.

She leaves numerous & plentiful dirty crockery around the house and doesn’t put In dishwasher.

She leaves wet towels on the bed after showering. On my side.

She unpacks new clothes and leaves tags , strings and packaging on bedroom floor for months on end.

She leaves bags, shoes, bottles, packages on The floor of entrance to house and various rooms as a trip hazard rather than use the double sized coat / shoe cupboard.

She refuses to sort and arrange recycling into boxes/ bags as needed for collection, and doesn’t crush down 2l bottles to make more room for other waste.

She leaves the washing machine and tumble dryer power on after a cycle. Burning electricity.

she snores and wakes herself up with coughing. Constantly. Roughly every 15-20 mins.

She won’t pay for sky, broadband, Netflix, prime ( but wants me to order for her and pay for it) and complains when one of above doesn’t work properly and demands I fix it.

She never , ever mows the lawn ( even if I’m away with work for an extended period).

She never makes her bed, or drawers curtains. If I close them- they stay closed until I open them.

Every single sip of tea is a loud, obnoxious SLURP.

Ahhhhhhh

@MaMaMaMySharona if he leaves his beardy pubes in the sink for you to find every morning, then we are married to the same man and you can have him 😂
