My DH is constantly asking for brews. I have never ever seen someone drink so many cups of tea and coffee in my life. His family are all the same, offering each other brews every 5 seconds. You literally put your cup down at my MILs and she's got the kettle on again.

I honestly can't take one more 'are you making a brew?' any time I look like I might be leaving the room or at the first hint of getting out of bed in the mornings. It gives me the RAGE 😂 (don't get me wrong, he makes a lot himself too). It's worse than hearing 'mum, mum, mum' for the millionth time a day.

He will even ask or get up to make one at like 11pm when we're in bed or if he's in the middle of drinking a beer in the evening.

Can I divorce my husband for making and requesting too many brews? Do your partners do anything minor that make you all stabby?

And obviously this is light-hearted, I won't actually stab him unless he asks for another brew

I’m with you on the toileting @Popcornismandatory I’ve started leaving wipes in there so he can clean up any mess.

Although now I feel bad for moaning earlier. We had a bit of a falling out this morning because I complained about the stench he left in the toilet before he went to work.....he’s just come in with flowers and a new (very expensive) diffuser for the bathroom Blush

IdblowJonSnow · 23/09/2020 20:35

Breathing.
Shitting multiple times a day. For ages.
Crumbs everywhere.
Mr frikking grumpy at home but then sweetness and light with everyone else.

SerenityNowwwww · 23/09/2020 20:36

Decide to make a long, loud phone call - on a cordless phone - and switch off the sound on the TV when I am watching it...Angry

vdbfamily · 23/09/2020 20:41

decides to tidy an area, usually his office, and puts all the stuff he does not want on dining room table or kitchen worktop, rather than sort through and put it all away properly or Chuck it.

MirandaMarple · 23/09/2020 20:43

Urgh, stop with the 'hate hate hate' then the 'he/she's gorgeous really'

They do really annoying things (so do we) no need to justify why you still love them for it.

DumbleDorkReturns · 23/09/2020 20:47

Chews with his mouth open.

Leaves used tissues scattered around the house

Doesn't make the bed to my standard

Doesn't shave his face often enough but when he does he leaves his prickles in the sink.

Can you tell him WFH is getting to me Grin

Disfordarkchocolate · 23/09/2020 20:51

Breathing heavily when he eats, I have been know to tell him to STFU!!!!

I am infinity more irritating though.

FippertyGibbett · 23/09/2020 20:57

Leaving dirty dishes next to the sink when the dishwasher is empty.
Coffee grounds all over the place.
Snoring.
Snoring with disgusting wine breath.

Havaiana · 23/09/2020 21:01

[quote usernamewastaken]@ClementineWoolysocks he tells everyone when he's dropping the kids off aka taking a dump. His dollops. [/quote]
This made me laugh but would get unfunny after the third of fourth dollop 😂

Lolwhat · 23/09/2020 21:51

Thinks he’s being helpful by putting the washing away except he puts it ALL in the drawers and not the wardrobe, just why

luckyduckydooda · 23/09/2020 22:20

Oh, there are just so many to choose from.... a very annoying thing he does- I'll just be finishing clearing up, vacuuming, whatever and he'll say "I'll do that! ". Well, clearly you won't, cause I've just done it...drives me up the wall.
He has a sort of claustrophobic thing where he feels the need to see the sky from inside the house AT ALL TIMES- so he draws back the net curtains- which makes me really uncomfortable- feel like I can't relax (in my pjs) in my own home.
Tbh am jealous of pp talking about socks on the floor, cupboard doors left open...wish that were all I had to deal with- I live with such a control freak !!!

Winner2020 · 23/09/2020 23:01

Super loud, dramatic sneezing. Ridiculous.
Snoring, oh god the snoring.
Calling windscreen wipers 'window screen wipers' ffs
To echo a PP: turning over in bed as though he's a whale at Seaworld.

SmellyDogBed · 23/09/2020 23:04

Blows a raspberry everytime he says the word “please”
Eg .
Me “do you want a coffee?”
DH “yes pleastthhe!!”

goose1964 · 23/09/2020 23:08

Talking over anything I want to watch but if he wants to watch something I'm only to make acting noise and he glares at me.

justilou1 · 23/09/2020 23:28

Using the fucking loo brush BEFORE he flushed his shit and then putting the shit-encrusted bog brush in the holder because he “didn’t notice” it’s fetid appearance. I have spent countless hours soaking the bastards in the loo or throwing them out. Also teaching him how to flush first, then brush. Flush THEN brush, you disgusting moron!!! I have told him that the next time I find one encrusted like this I am wiping it all over his car seat and leaving it there.

Tillygetsit · 23/09/2020 23:58

Insists on telling me a (boring) anecdote about WW2 or airplanes or work politics whilst I'm trying to watch Only Connect. I need to concentrate, damn it!

Oh. My. God.

LTB!

Or rub his nose in it!

Hangingover · 24/09/2020 03:01

He always parks us miles away from the shop because it's "his spot".

He hums a tune when he's feeling uncomfortable. DF does this too.

He mangles word I've just said. Eg. If I say I might make noodles for tea he then say noodledoodles.

Hangingover · 24/09/2020 03:02

He also say "slippy" instead of "slippery"

Hangingover · 24/09/2020 03:04

God this is cathartic.

HE STANDS SO CLOSE TO ME IN SHOPS OMFG WHY

when he's done browsing the men's clothes he come and go era by me looking at his phone about an inch away from me so I keep bumping into him.

HalfBearOtherHalfCat · 24/09/2020 04:47

STOMP STOMP SLAM BANG CRASH STOMP STOMP STOMP is the soundtrack of my day.

DH walks like a hippopotamus in lead boots, he slams doors and cupboards like a pissed off teenager, and when he does the washing up he bashes the crockery like he thinks he's at a Greek wedding. Everything the man does is SO LOUD.

To make it worse our five year old operates at a similar volume to his father, and even my big bastard cat clomps when he walks. I just can't escape the noise in my home!

sqirrelfriends · 24/09/2020 07:12

Makes toast and leaves the buttery knife on my nice clean countertop, and the jam open to the elements.

He's usually very good but I think he thinks these items put themselves away.

SillyFilly · 24/09/2020 07:54

He's a sofa space invader! On a 3 seater sofa he will sit right next to me but then slowly starts to lean on me and not in a nice cuddly way but will use me as an extra cushion.

nevernotstruggling · 24/09/2020 08:11

Instead of taking the trolley to the car and unloading he insists on picking up all the shopping bags at the TIL and staggering to the car. When we first met this annoyed mr as I felt duty bound to help. Now he's fecking on his own!!!
