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

He crunches food louder than anyone else on earth.
He fills the dishwasher and doesn't turn it in.
He leaves things to soak that don't need soaking.

Constant nose picking and flicking it wherever, ball scratching/readjustment

Unpacks food shopping out of the bags and onto the kitchen worktops

2 main things.

1. Doesn't put anything away after himself. The squash bottle. The marg. The bread. The laptop. The clothes. Mugs and glasses. He leaves a slug like trail around the house of mess.
2. And this has literally just happened.. I'm chilling upstairs in bed and he's downstairs letting rip some massive farts thinking I can't hear. It's fucking ridiculous.

Washes up but doesn't wash up everything on the side .... ahhhhhhhhh!

One last one- anything he is asked to clean, he puts outside. Especially those little compost caddy things. Four of them have been left outside and blown away this year. But see also my best casserole dish, a laundry basket and three chairs.
Then he lies about it.

Leaving crumbs all over the counters after making toast or a sandwich.

Leaving recycling next to the back door instead of putting it in the bins about half a metre away.

Not putting his breakfast dishes in the sink.

Ohhhh yeah and this. Drives me crazy!!!

We’ve got a new washing machine that’s bigger than the old one. Now it seems like he thinks this means it’s ok to ram every item of clothing all four of us own in at once.
One of his washes fills up the washing line, the clothes airer indoors and I’m still draping wet clothes over chairs. 😡

He takes the bins out but doesn't replace the bags. He admits it is a very annoying habit!

He’s a bigamist, as he’s clearly also married to a lot of posters on this thread.

We can alibi each other right? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

I have been with my husband for almost 33 years. He still puts the spoons where the forks should be in the cutlery drawer!!

Mine sneezes like 100000lb of Semtex going off. Suddenly without warning. (Books hair appointment for sudden grey hair... stab)
And he eats toast while looking over my shoulder at the newspaper. Munch munch munch...stab.
Also, he's a morning person and I'm not, and I wake up to a million questions about plans for the day. Go away.... need coffee... stab.
BUT he is lovely in so many ways so I won't stab him really ♥️

Takes his socks off whilst watching TV and leaves them by the sofa. Puts dishes on the worktop, right above the (empty) dishwasher. And dear god, the crumbs.

He is excellent in most other ways, though.

Uses the dishwashing sponge to wipe down the wooden worktops and NEVER EVER dries them. Never uses kitchen cleaner just slops dishwater around al s leaves it there.

Leaves things to 'soak' in the sink and I have to put my hand into cold dirty greasy water
Can it shut a cupboard door

Asking "what can I eat?"

Open the damn fridge and look for yourself!

This is just one example of me having to do his thinking for him.

@AliasGrape

If I have chocolate or biscuits or whatever that is just mine (so if I’ve been given a box as a present or a we both bought a bar of chocolate but I’ve not started/finished mine yet and he has) and he wants some he’ll say ‘shall I have one of these chocolates?’ Or ‘shall I try a biscuit’ in a tone that implies him doing so would be doing me a great favour.

Then word you’re looking for is may or can - ‘please may I have one of your chocolates Alias because I’m a greedy swine who ate all mine before we left the supermarket car park’ or ‘can I please pinch one of your biscuits before I start offering them to you like I’m the one being generous?’

But no, it’s always ‘shall I’ and it drives me mad.

There’s lots but that will do for today.

This just brought tears to my eyes laughing!

Jesus this thread is making me stabby.

Mine never cleans his breadcrumbs off the counter.

He whistles.

Why in the name of god do we not purge ourselves of these irritants?

Although, he does claim that I leave empty tea mugs around the house.

And this might be true.

Sooo.....

One last one- anything he is asked to clean, he puts outside. Especially those little compost caddy things. Four of them have been left outside and blown away this year. But see also my best casserole dish, a laundry basket and three chairs.

Never picks up the bathmat after a shower.
Leaves cupboards open.
Interrupts me.
Leaves dirty laundry on the floor.
Can't clean up his shaving messes.
Food in the bottom of the sink.
Yes I am in bad mood tonight haha!

Holds knife like pen.......

I wonder what our other half's would say about us, things we do that annoy them

Mine has elevated duvet stealing to an art form. He keeps hold of his top corner, then decides to pull his bottom corner up to join the top corner. This leaves his feet cold, so he then adopts my bottom corner too. I'm left with a quarter of the duvet.

Apparently his father does exactly the same thing so it's obviously genetic and I feel sorry for the future partners of our sons!

Oh, and he absolutely cannot shut either the front or back door if he's outside one of them. Can't even pull it to...

We have a hob kettle with a whistle. I don’t drink hot drinks, so rarely boil it during the day. Partner drinks tea and coffee and at least once a day he puts the kettle on the hob to boil and then buggers off to do something which means when the kettle starts shrilling I have to stop whatever I’m doing to turn it off. It’s so minor, but makes me unreasonably cross.

Crunching his food loudly. I can’t sit next to him when he is eating crisps. Makes me want to behead him
🤣
