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

Probably easier to write a list if what doesn't annoy me these days

Stating the fucking obvious about what I'm doing. I'll wait till the kitchen is empty then go in to make some toast etc. He'll then suddenly have to wander in "you're making toast then". Not in a "can I get some too" way, just states the obvious with usual hovering over me watching what I'm doing. Drives me nuts but of course if I say anything I get a puppy that's just been kicked look.

Yes I can see what I'm doing thanks, fuck off!! Good job I love him.

He says "vary-fie" instead of verify. Drives me INSANE!
(All the other things he does that drive me mad aren't light hearted ! )

@BashfulClam

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!

Wrappers! Yes, oh my god. I’ve told him so many times just to clear up as he goes, but nooooo.

He whistles.

Of all the things on this thread, this would go beyond annoyance for me and would be a dealbreaker. I lived with a whistler for a while. It actually made me murderous.

@MummBraTheEverLeaking

OMG this is exactly the sort of stunt mine pulls. 🤨

Sounds like he's eating gravel

Dirty dishes left on the side and not in the empty dishwasher.

Uses the biggest, heaviest chopping board we have just to butter and cut a piece of toast on but then leaves the big bloody thing sat there dirty until muggins has had enough of it staring at me. (Why can't he use a plate?!)

Takes off dirty socks, puts one inside the other and then throws them into the basket (if I'm lucky it's the basket but it's usually the floor!) Apparently, it's because they go missing if he doesn't do this but he doesn't believe in pairing socks so there's no logic! There's another one...wears odd socks!

Slurps tea straight out of the kettle

Leaves toothpaste splash all over the bathroom mirror

Never takes the rubbish out (recycling and non). He'll squash the rubbish into the bin until it can no longer be removed.

Cuts up a cardboard box with the bread knife and then puts the knife back unwashed.

Tells me that our DD has a dirty nappy...yes and..? Change her then!

Will leave 2 seconds to go on the microwave clock just to confuse me why I can't get it to work.

I'm sure there are more but that's all I can think of before bed.

Phone and multiple devices pinging, all connected but with a sync delay, so the pings feel like they are reverberating around the house. It drives me mad, turn your ffing sound down or one day they’ll go out the window

Tells me that he's going to do a task, which I then tick off my mental list as "done", only to find later that he forgot.

Leaves dirty washing up water in the sink overnight.

Gives a running commentary on what he's doing even when it's bloody obvious

Turns every conversation round to his hobby

Plays on his phone when watching tv then asks me to explain the plot. When will he learn that his brain doesn't multi-task

If he's having to do something he doesn't want to, like making a simple meal for himself, asks for step by step instructions. I have lost count of the number of times I've shown him how to make an omlette

Oh, and the inevitable crumbs left on the largest chopping board in the kitchen every single lunchtime!

@weave yes! Why oh why? I mean, he's an intelligent guy, he shouldn't run out of stuff to say, or even feel he has to make conversation, it's just this need to come and see what I'm up to, and then state what I'm doing 🤦‍♀️

Cannot open fridge or freezer and find anything - kind of expects food to jump out at him, can’t look further than his fucking nose.
Also food shopping, he knows what we eat, on the vey odd occasion that he actually does a food shop - well, actually it’s not worth him going, he buys sod all to make meals - both give me the rage.Fucking useless knob - I love him really

The FUCKING PODCASTS. Always a tinny podcast noise following him around.

Also he’s never out of the damn bathroom

And he puts things on the top shelves so I can’t reach them.

@Lara53

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

I can deal with most of these, but biting a spoon or fork will make me stabby!

Need to wipe the kitchen side/table? Tea towel.

Child has been sick? Tea towel.

Spilt something on the floor? Tea towel.

Child needs their nose wiped? Tea towel.

Need to wipe hands/face after messy food? Need a bib? You guessed it..fucking Tea towel.

I'm sure he'd wipe his fucking arse with a tea towel if he could. Seriously, use fucking kitchen roll/cloth/baby wipes/ mop!!! 😡 Drives me absolutely mental. Worst thing is, DS has started doing it too and he is only 4.

All empty bottles left on bench under window which I am too short to reach... (I swear this kitchen was built by giants!) Then complains when they build up and are not put in recycling bin at other end of bench. I am teetotaling at the moment to lose weight and don’t drink milk. It’s pretty damn obvious who the culprit is, but he still won’t admit it.
Shoveling food and making nom nom sounds when eating. I have threatened to get him a dog bowl. It makes me sick to my stomach.
On that subject, when I have gone to the trouble of cooking several separate things at his request, don’t you think it would be polite for him to taste them separately instead of jamming bits of everything on his fork and snarfing it all down until he quite literally chokes? (One day he’s going to look to me for resuscitation and I’m going to have to give it some serious thought.) I wonder sometimes if he’s turning into a fucking Labrador.
Constant phone calls and interrupting our family life about the sporting club he is trying to bring back from the dead in an attempt to relive his youth. The endless conversations about this sporting club and his lost youth. Horse well flogged - and I declare it deceased!!! My poor, loyal son is going along reluctantly to try and cheer his Dad up, but this isn’t going to last.

Opens just one bedroom curtain halfway and leaves the other closed.
I've asked him why, he doesn't know either. Drives me insane.
He also squeezes the toothpaste in the middle, but from the sides in so the tube ends up a crunched up mess.
I love him dearly, but my god I could slap him until my own hand drops off sometimes.

Leaving crumbs on the worktop

Leaving empty cups everywhere and anywhere.
Uncanny ability to smash side plates and glasses, simply by taking them out of the cupboard.
Uses the toilet, washes hands, scrunches up the hand towel to dry hands, leaves it scrunched.
Always adding hot sauce to curries, then complains it too hot, keeps eating it and getting increasingly redder.

OH is constantly ravenously hungry and even worse will ask for bread and butter with a roast, fish or with the occasional cooked breakfast.

Even after a large meal he is always hungry....

( before anyone says anything I get his meals because he has very limited mobility ... but the bread and butter is just excessive, irritating and a bit 1970’s). The bread is homemade and very dense.

Fills glasses too full - pretty much to the brim.
Doesn’t I sweats s the concept of letting wet cloths dry out (j cloths etc). Rinses then leaves in a tight heap.
Puts plates facing the wrong way round in dish drainer. In fact there are many dish drainer problems.
Loses things. I’m a good finder of things (unfortunately).
Is a last minute planner/packer/buyer etc for holidays.

Leaves packets of food out on the worktop because apparently they can’t be found if they are in the cupboards. I keep telling him you can’t keep all the food on the worktops.
Uses the kitchen towel as a teatowel.
Doesn’t wash his pots up or put them in dishwasher, just rinses them off under the tap and reuses when needed.
He is disgusting in the kitchen and he’s going to have to change or be banned from the kitchen

Holding chocolate ice creams (Magnums etc) by the chocolate end and not the stick

Putting the cutlery in the drawer in the wrong order

Scraping his knife on the plate

And if I mention any of them he pulls a face at me and does it more!

Two main things

1. Leaves tea bags in the sink. Just put them in the bin like i do. There was once THREE in there. Drives me nuts. I just leave them.
2. Leaves the chopping board out. Well he did. I got shitty the other day and told him it gave me THE RAGE. He's trying harder now and totally noticed when he did it yesterday and I huffed, eye rolled and moved it.

Has zero awareness of his own feet. It’s like he doesn’t realise they are there. So he is CONSTANTLY stubbing his toe, dropping things ok his foot, running the kids scooter over his toes etc etc. It doesn’t help that we live in a hot country so he’s barefoot or in flip flops whenever he’s at home.

I wouldn’t care so much but each time he does it there is much gnashing of teeth, loud exclamations etc. And each occasion invariably follows a few days later with a a narrated inspection of his injured toes, insisting that I inspect his black toe nail etc
