Minor things your other half does that make you all stabby 🙃

[ChilliOnTheWilli]

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

We have a TINY bathroom, you can reach the bin whilst sitting on the loo. DH throws empty toilet roll next to the bin or puts it on the sink?????

Making me feel like using the dishwasher is immoral. Wanting to leave dishes until the morning. He can duck off with that....there's this magical appliance that washes them whilst we sleep....

My dh has an irritating habit of ruining tv endings of things by chattering over it - so we can be watching a tv programme in silence all the way through - say something like "Traffic Cops" and he'll suddenly start talking about something right when the narrator starts to tell you what the outcome was - every single time. It actually made me get sky + so I could rewind and replay it once he stopped wittering on. It drives me potty.

Has to have bread with everything and make a dinner sandwich all the fucking time.
Sausage and mash- bread
Roast dinner- bread
Pasta bake- bread

Leftover mash will be made into a mash sandwich. Any leftovers for that matter will be put into two slices of buttered white bread.

Puts empty tins and jars on the counter directly above the recycling- does my head in.

He pulls off any long part of his fingernails at night instead of cutting them and throws them on the floor beside the bed. It's disgusting.

DH is great at leaving all bits of shit from his pockets/open packaging etc on the kitchen table, it's infuriating.

What makes it worse is when we have a tiff about something, DH likes to passive aggressively tidy up. It's so fucking annoying that he can think he has the upper hand because he's there "getting the house in order". It's his crap he's picking up, when I point this out he will find something on mine on a surface and be like "this is yours! I'll tidy it up shall I?" Arrrrrrrgh!!!

The coffee grounds all over the fecking place just because he wants to grind his own beans. It tastes no different to ready ground.

Let me count the ways...

Very nearly any household task is utterly beyond him. He can turn lights on, but the off position eludes. Doors can only be opened. Toilet rolls regenerate if left long enough. Where is the laundry room? The dishwasher is too cunningly integrated, and he thinks empty packaging should always be returned to the larder.

THIS! We have a Jura, a swish little thing it is too, bean to cup, yet somehow grounds still end up all over the shop.

I gotta say though the coffee is hugely better than the ready caper.

Sweet jesus...

This should be on the psychopath thread ;)

Clearing his throat a million times a day. Drives me mental!

Says he heard me have a poo earlier (??!!) so the dried poo must be mine that I've found this morning. But it's ok. He poured a bit of Zoflora in. Thanks. That'll clean it. By fucking magic.
I hear whoever said theirs put Toilet Duck down but no actual cleaning.i clean piss off the toilet every day. Not mine. I'm raging.
And he's stuffed the washer so full of (only his ) clothes that it's not washed. Not even wet.
There are many more but I'm tired and angry

TOFO it is so revolting...I've told him time and time again!🤮 Lucky for him he has redeeming features otherwise I wouldn't be responsible for my actions!😆

This is every male in my house too!!! Wtf?

DH does this too (throwing empty loo roll by the bin) but cleaning the bathroom and taking rubbish down is firmly his task so I just leave it there.

I like to think he leaves it by the bin so he can take it down to the cardboard recycling box

Tapped his head and said I'm psycho and picking at everyone. I do the cooking, thinking, admin and thinking for everyone and I'm done in. I may need my own thread as my post reveals deeper issues than socks by the laundry bin

Filling a mug of tea/coffee to the brim picking it up to carry somewhere without a saucer under it.

on the shitting thing I have to comment I have this too... my DH is bad but my preteen son is even worse - he can sit on the toilet for 2+ fucking hours

unless you have a violent stomach bug then if its taking that long you dont 'need' the damn toilet... but they both take their phone or tablet and will bunker down for hours like its the only comfortable seat in the house

we only have 1 toilet for 4 of us so usually I end up evicting them so I can finally have a pee but I just dont get it. A toilet exists for a purely practical purpose and is hardly a luxuary activity, I dont think I have ever spent more than 5 minutes in the toilet - just in done then out.

• they arent even doing it for privacy as DS has his own huge bedroom stocked with every gadget a preteen could want + gaming chairs and his bed + they have their own boys room. Its me that never gets a second and even gets followed to the bathroom by toddlers and pets and even DH (but hes got a lot better the last few months after I snapped at him for always following me to the toilet because me going 'reminds' him apparently)

@usernamewastaken

Excessively loud sneezing. Like thunderously loud. Apparently it hurts him to sneeze quietly. Knobhead.

I have a colleague whose office is at the bottom of the stairs and my office is at the top of the same stairs meaning I can hear him sneeze from TWO FLOORS AWAY!

Interestingly I haven't heard a single one since Covid-29 came to tea.

We have a run of kitchen cupboards and the end one is set back about six inches. Perfect for cat bowls. But DH would rather put them right in the middle of the floor or in front of the cooker. I love him but...

Oh god yes.

ACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCover your mouth!
But I did (lies)
No you bloody well didn’t!

@pollysproggle I think you may be married to my dad!

I don't have a DP, but my work husband does a lot of the things on this thread! It doesn't bother me because I am actually completely in love with him (he doesn't know) but I do wonder if anything did happen if I'd be here making my own list

The sock drying using the grill won the thread for me 😂

Opens the mail and puts the empty envelopes on the sofa not in the bin. However he doesn't steal the duvet as he informs me that's down to a gang of evil duvet-stealing pixies who live on his side of the bed.
They always eat the Jaffa cakes too!

Mine will lose track of what he’s saying to me half way through (usually because he’s doing something else at the same time) and then I have to stand there like a lemon waiting for him to remember that he’s halfway through a sentence and pick up where he left off. It drives me batty! I’ve started just walking away when it happens

Dh currently has an upset stomach. Apparently a completely random attack that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH the family size bag of Aldi cheese puffs and peanut m&m’s he ate earlier. You’d think he was in labour with the groans and clutching his stomach. Will not take an immodium, have a mint tea, wheat bag on to soothe...just wants to groan and describe his bowl movements to me in great detail. If you are ill or in pain fucking take the medicine to make you feel better you fucking twat!
