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

Does this thing when he doesn’t want to make a decision and he does a sort of exaggerated shrug and makes a noise like “ehhhh”. Even over something really easy like “shall we take a different route because of the traffic?”or “are the apples ripe and needing picking?” It’s a total bloody abdication of responsibility so I have to make the decision. I only noticed it in the last couple of months and I’m not sure how long I can put up with it...

Leaves empty packets in cupboards/fridge etc
So you look and think “oh we have paracetamol/crisps/cereal etc” but we frigging don’t

Leaves a billion glasses in his room then brings them downstairs in one go and leaves them on top the dishwasher

And a topical one - uses antibac handwipes in the car when he’s been out (Covid) then leaves the dirty wipes in the car!! This one is seriously giving me the rage

Overfills the bins
Doesn’t hang the tea towels up
Puts the baby’s plates/cups etc in the wrong fecking drawer

There’s probably more. In fact there was more which is why we have separate bedrooms

I'm starting to think DP must be cheating on me, as you all seem to also be in a relationship with him...

@Wowcherarestalkingme

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

Yes a million times

Carefully balancing new toilet roll on previous empty roll rather than just changing it. Even on our loo roll holder which is open hook rather than clip in!

Oh I've thought of another.

If I text him at work either asking him to do something or just informing him of something, he'll actually reply to me saying 'yeah' or 'okay' and then afterwards say he never knew about whatever it was. When I point out that he literally replied to my text he says he didn't read it because he was busy....SO DONT REPLY THEN.

I actually went through a stage once of just sending him a random, weird fact to see if he'd reply 'yeah' or 'okay' or even mention why I'd text him to tell him that a shrimps heart is located in its head.

Asking me what's for dinner, I'm not sure when planning meals and preparing them became exclusively my responsibility so this makes me quite shirty when he does it every day, he's really saying 'please make my dinner'. I've told him it drives me batshit, so now he circumnavigates it by asking what I'm having for dinner

He also cuts onions with scissors.

He also cuts onions with scissors

Excuse me?

Plays annoying comedy clips loudly in bed. I don’t mind Graham Norton but I don’t want to hear him if I can’t see him. Then he wonders why I never go to sleep early.

Burps really loudly in the street and then claims he can’t help it. Makes me want to kill him.

It was the snoring but under threat of either murder/divorce he finally got referred to a specialist and now wears a mouth guard. Snoring virtually eliminated

A close second is his inability to reiterate a conversation, example:
‘So the teacher said bring in that book and blah blah blah’

Me ‘what’s blah blah blah’
Him ‘oh well can’t remember what she actually said’

Will wash up on an evening, leave the water in the bowl as it’s “perfectly good” (still warm and has suds, yes I’ll give you that). The next morning will put his breakfast items into now cold, dirty water, which l I have to put my hands into to fish out said items because... WE HAVE A DISHWASHER!

Rubs his bare feet together. I’ve been known on more than one occasion to end our evening because, despite repeated pleadings, he’ll start doing it again.

Unable to close utility room door, particularly if the washing machine is on.

Complains about the state of the kitchen floor every time he goes in the room. Obsessively brushes it at all times then....brushes it all next to the bin and dustpan and brush....and leaves it there aaarrgghhh

Moans! he's a moany old bugger. in the car, I can predict his moans-parking on a junction, someone dares to drive on the same road-moans. Its tiring. Now I take the piss out of him! Relieves the stabby rage I get.
Uses our dishcloth and washing up basin for cleaning dog puke off the floor. or cleaning bird shit off the car. then leaves the CLOTH WE WASH OUR DISHES WITH scrunched up in a ball. Ugh. Last week, our dog had a shit accident-he used the basin but not the cloth. some progress. then hes uses same basin to service his bike. So its shitty and oily. There isnt enough bleach or zoflora in the world.
Manky bugger. Treated us to a new one. Manky basin and dishcloth now in his shed.

Leaves things to 'soak' in the sink and I have to put my hand into cold dirty greasy water

I have warned DP that the next time I find something "left to soak" in the sink, I will be experimenting to see if it's possible to ram the unwashed casserole/saucepan/roasting dish up his sodding arse.

Right now? Breathe. He's been an arse to be around today!

Normally, putting the recycling on the windowsill instead of the bin underneath it.

Refusing to empty the bin until it is overflowing "to save bags", but then the bag splits because it's so full, so he has to double bag it.

Wanders about with the tea towel over his shoulder, then puts it down in random places so that I have to go on a hut every time I need to dry something.

@shreddednips who cuts onions with scissors? How bloody big are the scissors??

Leaving pens and random stuff in his pocket, I don’t have time to check pockets before putting clothes in wash. He always puts his bag in front of my wardrobe, never his own. Loading the dishwasher, I swear he does it on purpose so I don’t ask him to do it...

With scissors. He cuts the onion in half with a knife life a normal person, then he takes the scissors to it. He says it's quicker

Normal sized scissors, we buy quite small onions I suppose

@usernamewastaken Starts cooking all items of the meal at the same time. A 10 minute steak will be started around the same time as he puts the jacket spuds in the oven. Ffs.

🤣🤣🤣

@NewMumma1819

Putting the dirty dishes on the counter directly ABOVE the dishwasher. Not in the dishwasher. ABOVE.

Oh. God. Yes.

Also leaving stuff in the sink, so I have to move something before using it every single fucking time.

1. Any time he says he’ll do the dishes he asks me to put the dry dishes from the dish rack away first. I might as well just do the dishes myself then.
2. He informs me of stuff that he could just fix without informing me. Like the other day, I’m in the kitchen and he’s in the living room with DS and he shouts through to me “babes there’s a piece of food under his high chair”

@MitziK peeing myself at this

so he'll just zip it (complete with zipping action and refusing to speak, which is the bit that really makes me eye up the magnetic knife rack

Actually this is probably really outing but he has a history of using the wrong tool for the job. He also used to leave it until the last minute to realise he didn't have any clean socks, wash them in a frantic hurry before work and dry them using the grill. Not under it, he'd turn it on full whack, leave the door open a crack and drape the socks over the top of the oven door terrifyingly close to the heat source. It was definitely his very worst habit, far worse than the onion scissors, but he doesn't do it any more as we have a dryer.

@heuchterteuchter

This too. Dishcloth was brown- I thought it was burnt on food from saucepan etc. Nope, mud from his cycling shoes.

@ConfessionsOfAChocoholic

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.

@ConfessionsOfAChocaholic... is that you DH?
