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

@Lorddenning1

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

Oh I'm sure there's one or two

[quote pumpkinpie01]@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 ! [/quote]

A sort of 'plonker' voice. It's so annoying. Sometimes it's even straight after sex 😂.. we both like a funny voice but his is taking over.

He also does a few of the other things on this thread, including 'that's what she said' over anything potentially smutty, and missing the laundry basket.

@ladybee28

Instead of screwing the lid of the plastic honey tub back on, he gently pops the lid on top and then BAM! Smashes it shut. Pisses me off to no end.

Dunno why I find this so funny!

Also not hanging up the bath mat and deciding he'll make dinner but having no concept of how long everything takes, so it's half cooked potatoes and charred chops, yummy!

Ridiculously loud yawning. There's just no bloody need for it.

Takes her bottoms off as if they are a one piece so jeans, underwear and socks all merged as one meaning I have to pull them apart when putting a wash on. Always find a stray sock stuck in the leg of her jeans when the washing machine is done.

My husband is also a chronic cupboard door leaver-opener. Ditto the microwave.

He never, and I mean never, puts his dirty clothes in the laundry basket, he always leaves them on the floor in the spare room next to the basket. Unless I have sorted a load of washing into a pile ready to load. Then he puts his stuff in the basket, rather than in the helpfully sorted pile.

Messy sleeper.

Laughing at all those who can't shut a cupboard door - we have only shelves and drawers in our kitchen because I knew I couldn't live with all the open doors. He leaves his wardrobe door open and I hate it but I refuse to shut it because it's his (I know that only bothers me not him!)

Also this morning he woke me up to say goodbye, even though I'd told him last night that I was working at home today and wouldn't be up early.

He leaves the lids off everything, why ????

Also

He's incredibly heavy on his heels first thing in the morning when he's not got his slippers on... and yet makes snarky remarks about everyone else being noisy.

He vocalises his sneezes.

He's a Spoony Fucker.

He refuses to not comb his hair over the sink - because when we had small children he didn't want to come back into the bedroom to comb his hair because it might wake me (NB our younger son is 17)

It doesn't happen now, but a few years ago this was morning routine:
Puts dressing gown on and goes into bathroom for a wee.
Goes back into bedroom to collect mugs.
Comes downstairs and puts mugs on the worktop.
Goes upstairs and gets dressed.
Comes downstairs.
Goes upstairs and has a wash and shave.
Comes downstairs.
Goes upstairs and puts contact lenses in (could be worse, he combed his hair on this trip too).

When he comes in from work he leaves his shoes and coat on the floor. The shoe cupboard and coat hooks are right next to him

Same with laundry. Or anything for that matter, never puts things away and leaves the place looking a mess.

DP does a lot of impassioned cooking, and gets wet / greasy / crumbly / sticky / oily hands, which he then touches the whole fucking kitchen with.
He also doesn't screw the lid on jars tightly, so any attempt to pick up a jar by the lid likely results in smasher.
Finally, despite food hygiene awareness being an important feature of his work, he laughs in the face of cross-contamination, and will neglect to supply tongs for salad, scooping with grimy chef's hands directly from the bowl, use his fork (straight out of his mouth) to dig olives out of the jar, the knife with which he has just cut his sausages to scoop humous out of the pot etc. So fucking grim. Won't be fucking told.

Bare feet on tiles. It's horrible. Wear socks or slippers or something.

He then brings grubby feet to bed. Actually it's the noise it makes. That's what makes me stabby

Repeating silly phrases he’s seen on TV rather than being involved in a conversation

smashery

“MitziK“

Are you married to my OH?

Also he never pushes the sodding chair in after he gets up from the kitchen table, just gets up pushes the chair into the middle of the room and walks off. It makes me very stabby

This week he has been at work with me, he knows I leave work every day at 4.00 to pick up DD. So at 5 to 4, I go to find him to say we have to leave now, and he says but why didn’t you come and remind me 15 minutes ago, I’m not ready yet.

So I say, you are a grown man it is not up to me to tell you when you need to be ready to go! Now all my (male) workmates think I am a vicious harpy. .

He does not fucccckkkiinnnggggg listen. Ever. Ever!

“What for tea”

“Chicken, broccoli and baby potatoes. Can you get the baby potatoes when you go to the shop?”

returns from shop without potatoes

“You said we’re having chicken and broccoli you didn’t say anything about potatoes”

I think what annoys me the most is I have 110% absolutely definitely mentioned the thing he forgets, usually more than once to ‘remind’ him and he accuses me of making it up on the spot.

Need to extend the patio.

• can't fold a towel (or tea towel)

• leaves drawers open

• leaves plates/glasses in the sink or on the worktop above the (empty) dishwasher in the misguided view they'll "walk" into it themselves

• thinks the sofa cushions "plump" and rearrange themselves after he's finished sitting on it

I can live with those (mostly) but the most rage inducing is...

• using eggs and putting the empty shells back in the box

Oldmapie....best answer 🤣

Says he will wash up- does 3 plates then gets 'distracted' and walks away and conveniently 'forgets'.
Is incapable of closing drawers/doors.
Puts dirty washing on top of laundry basket.
Leaves a trail of shoes/clothes all through house.
Empty loo roll left on sink not in bin.
Faffs about whenever he gets ready to go out takes forever.

Walking past the stuff on the stairs that I've not got round to taking up myself.

He picks at his fingers so loudly I can hear it.

Does this maddening lip smacking thing when eating...drives me insane
.
He doesn't cook (or very rarely) but comes and tells me how I should be doing it ..meals I have successfully made for years. DD1 once literally pushed him out of the kitchen when he started telling her how to make pancakes... she makes brilliant ones and has for years.

Restacks the diswasher because I haven't done it right... I now deliberately put stuff in the wrong way!

Oh and if I lock up before we go out.. he goes and double checks it, every sodding time.

He's a decent man really but after 32 years together.. it's the little things that lead to murder

@spongbobshitpants greedy cunt hands

Mine are.

Snoring
Leaving towels on the floor
Leaving plates on the side

Taking a drink of water halfway through a mouthful, swallowing the water then continuing to chew the mouthful of food. I don’t even know how you do that but it really puts me on edge. And also feel like it’s an indictment of my cooking that it can’t be swallowed without being washed down with water. It’s not though, he does it with every meal he ever has.

@Lorddenning1

I get the rage when my fella sneezes, one sneeze ok, second one I'm already looking at him, third, I'm like for god sake get your shit together, I don't know why it bothers me so much but it does, he sneezes all the time too. Also he eats quite loudly, even non loud food, I'm sure if I offed him in the future a judge would let me go free for it, winds me up so much!

Heh mine sneezes in 3s. Proper wahoo jobbys. He really tries not to do the third one because he knows I'm watching him do it. Just so he can say, 'see, I don't do 3'

We’ll be sat with our feet up on the buffetpuffet

That's a mint name for a puffy. I'm stealing

Mess. Clutter. Kitchen table, living room floor, entire spare room.

God, my DP appears to have a second home somewhere else.

He also swills out his empty coffee cup in a half-hearted manner and puts it on the (white) draining board, where it leaves a nice brown stain.
