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

[quote RaspberrySkies]@SimonJT why are you washing his hair? [/quote]
He has a physical disability so can’t do it himself, he’d normal go to the barbers 2/3 times a week to get it done. But they’re still busier than usual and still have fewer slots. So i get that ‘pleasure’.

Bites down in spoon when eating soup/ desert
Chews/ crunches loudly
Leaves clothes hanging out of drawers
Leaves piles of his shit everywhere
Takes off clothes and drakes them in a pile rather than hanging/ laundry basket
Brings bikes into house for fixing when garage/ outside too cold
Eats stinky cheese

Ha ha, just RTFT and saw the cupboard thing is quite common!!

Wrappers, fuckibg wrappers! Take something out of a wrapper and just leaves the empty empty wrapper lying on the worktop....the bin is 2 feet away. I feel the rage when he does it! Put it in the fucking bin!

I hang up the tea towel he uses it and leaves it scrunched in a ball on the worktop or the table. It’s all damp and usually left on a surface I’ve just cleaned, let it dry ffs! His mother did the same thing though and I wanted to punch her lights out!

Haven't read the whole thread yet but your op @ChilliOnTheWilli really tickled me 😂😂😂

My DP talks in a stupid voice. Would be funny if it was occasionally, but it's become more than his actual voice. I don't know who the fuck he is anymore.

Exdh used to take his socks off by drag his feet on the rug and then just leave them there, so I'd find loads of rolled up sticking socks everywhere!

He sneezed so loud too.
Always farting and burping.
Had the worst road rage ever!
Would never admit he was wrong and if you tried to argue it he would just talk louder over you.
Would take his top/jumper/hoody/ coat off and just leave them over chairs or even draped over doors.
Snored. OMG the snoring drove me too insanity!
Never looked for anything but instead asked me where it was.
But the one that made me want to stab him in the eye was that he was always fiddling with hisself. I'm not even sure he knew he was doing it half the time but we was together 8 years and he always did it. And hearing him scratch his balls I swear I would of killed him one day if we'd stayed together.

On my own now with the kids and loving life

Dumping dirty clothes NEXT TO the laundry basket. WHYYY ffs? You're already standing there, why put them on the FUCKING FLOOR??? He's 6'4" so the floor is actually further away 😤 Gives me the rage.

Snoring.

Empty packets on the side. As with the laundry basket, you've got to walk past the bin to leave the kitchen, so why?

This has been cathartic

skid marks on his underpants

Biting the metal on his fork when eating.
Can never find anything, even right in front of him.
Never listens

He cannot do the shopping without consulting me on every decision. If he did the shopping on a day I was at work, I'd have a sweepstake with my 2 work friends over how many times he would phone me. I wouldn't mind, but I'm not fussy! Or another example:
Him: washing powder isn't on the list.
Me: yeah I know, we don't need any.
Him: are you sure, it's on offer.
Me: I only buy whatever is on offer, we've got 3/4 of a big box left, no, we don't need any.
Him: are you sure.
Me: aaarrggghhhh!

He's not a morning person, I am. I am also a planner/organiser. I manage to get myself and 2 children up, washed, teeth cleaned, dressed, hair done, breakfast, stick a load of washing in etc all by 8:30 to get Dd to school for 8:45. He has to get himself ready, shit, shave and a shower... that's it. And yet he is constantly late, I'm usually sat in the car with the kids strapped in waiting for him.

He does have good points of course but seriously, I don't know what he does in the mornings!!

Raging just thinking about them:
Apple cores in an empty glass
Clothes hanging on the door with trousers hanging on the handle by the belt loops!
Stacks glasses/mugs on kitchen side instead of placing in dishwasher as he says he will re-use (never does)
Tea bags and egg shells put in sink rather than bin
Every meal he eats is eaten like it is his last supper
I think that’s it 😩

All of these sound like the sorts of things children will do when asked to 'keep house'. What's in it for women?

@Lorddenning1

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

Based on this thread, DH would also think I am a bigamist

Leaves his shoes on the doormat so that when I come in the door won’t open properly.

When he has a wash he splashes half the sink onto the mirror and doesn’t even notice.

When he opens the blinds he doesn’t open them fully. What’s the point?

Faffs and takes ages to get out the house but then if he forgets something it’s my fault because I’ve rushed him!

@feistyoneyouare

He just CANNOT pull curtains nicely. He either pulls them so they're overlapping ('to keep the heat in'), or does this weird thing of pulling the outer edge of the curtain slightly over whatever happens to be close by (e.g. item of furniture). Frequently both. They never, ever look nice (or even OK) when he's pulled them.

Oh, and tilting the shades of table lamps to shine more light on his book. This is a new one and drives me crackers, might have to get him an Anglepoise or something similar...

TO KEEP THE HEAT IN!! Mine does this! 😤😂

I apologise for those who feel stabby at my use of the word brew. But that's the word he always uses!

I can relate to too many of these, the cupboard doors, the snoring... maybe I need a refund.

Creates a mini monsoon after every shower. Somehow manages to absolutley drench the bath mat and the entire floor. Noone else in the house achieves this and I legitimately don't see how he does it unless he shakes off like a dog, post-shower!

The faffing!
DP "Will we go to the gym?
Me:" Now? "
DP:" Yeah"
Me:" Sure, I'll get ready"
10 mins later, I'm ready to go
DP: Plays with phone for 10 mins while I'm changing, quick coffee, grab a protein bar, "just throw some clothes on", find gym bag, "Ah, just got to wash out my bottle", face mask search, trainer selection, keys, wallet, hoodie, quick pee....
Me: Seething on sofa, scrolling on phone
DP: standing over me "You ready yet?"

Leaving every cupboard he ever opens, open. I mean, it has a door, just fucking close it.

Are you secretly married to my husband😱

And mine

@NeedToKnow101 what kind of voice , I'm intrigued ! This is going to sound so trivial but I really don't like the way my dh eats coleslaw , he always always eats it all in one go at the start of a meal, it's for putting with the either stuff on your plate that's why it's there as a compliment not to eat in one go !

@OnceUponAMidnightBeery haha
I know for a fact one of mine would be, I take on everything and then bitch about it, that I do everything in this house, he then goes over the top with jumping up to offer to wash the pots when he hears the water running or offers to cook dinner and I say I will do it, you sit down and relax, but then throw it in his face when I get overwhelmed and over worked and bitch that I get no help, he cannot win poor lad

oh, I have a dishwasher one.

We had a dishwasher, which lived in the laundry room because of layout, so I would put things waiting to go in it on the worktop next to the door into that room.

H would come into the kitchen and put his mugs on the worktop on the other side.

I mean, ok, fair enough, he just can't be arsed to walk all the way over to the small cramped piece of surface by the door. That didn't bother me.

After about 5 years of this, we had an extension built and the laundry room was out of action for a while. We moved out the appliances, including the dishwasher.

The very first morning after this, he came downstairs carrying his mugs, walked all the way across the kitchen and placed them on the piece of worktop by the door into the laundry room.

I have never worked this out.

@FAQs

I’m a single parent but feel a bit stabby at times when my daughter does the following, doesn’t scrape her plate if she has food left after eating, and also does the leave something sticking out of a draw so it doesn’t close properly, oh and kicks her shoes off and leaves them wherever they land. Sorry for the intrusion but it was good to get it out, I’ll shut the door on the way out

@FAQs - I think this thread should be about all annoying people things; children, friends, partners, parents... they're all annoying!

He has the noisiest colds in the world. Coughing. Sneezing. Snorting into the back of his throat. Clearing his throat. Everything is 10x louder. Gives me the rage

Throws his dirty clothes on top of the clean towels on the towel rail. EVERY NIGHT.

Am I allowed a list? 😂

Leaves every drawer/cupboard open just a little bit with something sticking out of it.

Leaves everything right where he has used it - examples from tonight are a drill in the living room and a knife and plastic tag in the kitchen, where he obviously used the knife to cut the tag off.

Fails to use the air freshener in the bathroom, which leads me to my next one of always going for a 💩 when I'm about to go in the bath 😂

Sets his alarm for really early and sleeps through it.

Never puts anything in the bin!

Leaves the empty toilet roll on the holder and balances a new one somewhere nearby

Wandering downstairs halfway through a TV programme, watching for two minutes then criticising it, usually for somethng that watching the whole thing from the start would have explained.
