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

Oh, and he'll sit next to me (while playing on his phone) and ask me to google things for him because he can't be bothered to do it himself!

I tend to go to bed first - so I'm just dropping off when he comes in. He sits on the side of the bed and picks his feet. The whole bed shakes - it's infuriating!
He bleeds. I mean, I can buy a lovely duvet set/sheets and he bleeds on them. Just one drop in a weird place. On every. Single. Sheet we own. It never comes out as it will have set in for a few days before I wash them. It's gross.
There are so many more.....but to be fair, I am probably a nightmare as well!!

Mine never wraps the vacuum cleaner lead around d the correct section and just dumps it in a circle on the top

He will also squish down the bin instead of emptying it so when its emptied its like sucking an elephant out of a 15mm tube

I’m single now, but:

Ex, asks me a question. Me, ‘I don’t know the answer.’ Ex, asks same question in a different way. Me, ‘I still don’t know the answer.’ Ex, asks same question in yet another way. Me, ‘I’ve just told you twice, I don’t know the answer. If I didn’t know the answer a minute ago, I’m not going to know it now am I.’

Suddenly changing the subject without giving me warning and not telling me what she’s going on about.

Clipping her toe nails on my bloody bed, then having a go at me and refusing when I ask her not to.

Actually I’m very glad to be single.

Snoring. Very loudly. Def worth the stabbyness.

Leaving cupboard doors / drawers open EVERY FUCKING TIME he opens them.

Cleaning up the kitchen but not wiping any surfaces or emptying the plug thing that catches all the food in the kitchen sink.

Saying "I've been tidying all day" when the house looks no different. Not at all. And getting mega offended when this is mentioned.

"Cleaning" the bathroom. But not shining any taps /mirrors/ shower screen surfaces etc...

Unpacking the shopping but leaving things like the milk out on the side.

Cooking a roast & burning the fuck out of the oven & not cleaning the crap off.

Doing a wash then leaving it in the machine all day.

Tumble drying my clothes. NEVER tumble dry my clothes!

But the snoring is by far the WORST. I would stab him just for that.

Trims his beard the moment I have cleaned the bathroom and leaves dirty face hairs everywhere!
Trims his hideous toenails over the bath and leaves for me to find buy standing on when I shower!
Creates an absolute tsunami of water when he does the washing up..... and only does half the washing up leaves the rest for me because well why not.......
and the crumbs from weetabix, good god! I swear I loose my shit every time I see my work surfaces!!!!!!! I banned them from the house until he learns how to clean up after himself! He's started sneaking them in..... he thinks I don't know!!!!

Oh also putting the wrong stuff in the recycling bin.

Mine breeds bags. It drives me up the fucking wall. He takes two massive, heavy bags to work everyday because he says he doesn't know which papers or books he'll need. They get fuller and fuller until he abandons one and starts a new one. Clearly all the shit he carts to work and back wasn't that important as the abandoned overflowing bag is left to mingle with its siblings in our hall until I flip out and they get relocated to the basement. I have a basement full of feckin bags full of very import shit that he'll never look at again.

Cannot wipe surfaces with a J Cloth that sits by the sink. Instead has a strange habit of wiping counter/sink with a piece of wet kitchen towel and leaving it there with crumbs and shit on it - why?

Glad he doesn’t live here

Asks me what the time is while wearing a watch.

Talks to me about biking.

Faffing.

He'll suddenly decide that he needs to do something five minutes before we eat or need to leave. I've no idea how he copes at work (he's a farm vet).

It's a good job we don't live together or I'd probably lamp him.

Insisting of hanging the washing up or putting dirty dishes in the dishwasher after dinner, whenever I’m doing it..every single time. We both work, and he is being nice - but honestly, I am capable of housework just as much as he is.. 😂

I've just checked, there's currently 6 bags in the hall. FFS!

Not many things, but its only been 18 months, I’m sure we’ll both have a pretty big list this time next year.

Moaning that I don’t wash his hair as well as the barbers, but provides zero constructive feedback and says “you just don’t” when I ask why it isn’t as good/wrong so I can improve.

He can’t cook, he often sits in the kitchen when I cook which is fine, but every now and again he’ll say “are you meant to do it like that?”

Water its everywhere, when he has had a shower/bath and tonight is a prime example, he gets out walks straight to the bedroom sits on the bed and then puts his towel around him.

God that much caffeine can't be good

Absolutely cannot twist things i say into something rude. Adds on “that’s what she said” to most sentences. Makes my eye twitch! (He’d add it on to that sentence for sure!)

Eats lots of crackers. Very loudly. I have to leave the room.

The way he sneezes. It’s not some variation on AH-CHOO! like a normal person. No, his sneezes go ESH! Never heard anyone else sneeze like that. He’s had a cold this week and I want to kill him.

Also, when he’s done the food shopping and bought a treat, or ordered something through the post, when he’s unpacked it I have to come and look. I could be sitting reading a book, doing my own thing, and I get called through to the other room to inspect his purchases. I can’t just be told about them, I have to come and clap eyes on them and go ‘oooh’, and be awestruck.

But he is absolutely lovely otherwise and I’m sure I have a million annoying habits too!

Mine has his own dirty laundry pile, just for his clothes. It's about two meters away from the actual laundry basket and I am in no way a stickler for housework but W. T. F

However he does make me lots of tea and doesn't drink it himself so is that evens?

Leaving EVERY cupboard door open. JUST FUCKING SHUT THEM 🤯

(Thanks feel better now!)

*Faffing.

He'll suddenly decide that he needs to do something five minutes before we eat or need to leave. I've no idea how he copes at work (he's a farm vet).*
Blame the animals. Mine is a crofter and the very second we really have to leave the house, he develops an urgent need for coffee. It must be something they catch from the livestock!

Obsessed with sweeping the kitchen and leaves the tiny pile of dust next to the bin. Every. Single. Time.

Can't cook for toffee but at at every meal turns something over with his fork and says "is this cooked properly?" "No darling, it's off and half raw just to poison you"

@SimonJT why are you washing his hair?

She loads the dishwasher wrong
Leaves dirty socks on the floor/in bed
Leaves used mugs around the house
Decides to make dinner (I usually cook) and uses a load of ingredients from meals I have planned, so I have to re-plan for the rest of the week.

But I do things that make her stabby too. And she’s pretty amazing otherwise, so I’ll forgive her

Turning the tumble dryer off without checking whether the washing is dry. So when I go to empty it later on there is a pile of damp clothes. RAGE.
