Inconsequential but HIGHLY irritating things your DH does

[itslikecakesbutitsnotcakes]

I’m not talking ‘fails to do any housework’ or ‘won’t parent his own kids’ but minor irritations that make you want to scream but you can’t because its so petty. For me

Refuses to use the automatic windscreen wiper. Instead he waits until he has no visibility and then manually flips the wiper on once. In heavy rain he’s doing it every couple of seconds. Just put the bloody auto wipers on!!

Unloads the dishwasher but leaves select things stacked up ‘near’ the cupboard or drawer they live in rather than putting them away. Apparently they are left there to ‘thoroughly dry’.

Rage!!!

Always the cups first then bowl's then plates and cutlery. Pans and oven dishes last. I hate them all being put in together.

NGL this would be a dealbreaker for me. I despise being talked over by anyone. I would never stay with a man who did this. I have had partners before I met DH who did this - often because they thought they knew more than me (about pretty much everything,) and I didn't stay with them. I do know several people (now) who behave like this, and I avoid them like the plague.

Argh so many things!
The dramatic whiny yawning.
He bought a kitchen bin with a recycling compartment but leaves cans, jars, cardboard on the worktop instead of putting them in it.
Leaves his shoes on the floor in front of the wardrobe.
Has taken over the home office with all his stuff even when he’s not using it so I end up in the sitting room or dining table when I need to WFH.
I could go on!

Tbh I think I would have been happier living with my best friend.

I’d forgotten about this one! My DP will shout, ‘Oh SHIT’ or similar from another room and I used to leap up from my desk/rush out of the loo/drop what I was doing to get to him, because he honestly makes it sound like the sky is falling in.
It never is though; he’s always just tried to put the wrong size lid on a pan, or dropped a sock, or something.
I ignore him now. Of course, it’s like the boy who cried wolf and one day aliens WILL land or he WILL chop off his finger, and I’ll blithely ignore him because I’ll assume he’s just wanting attention again.

Oh. Walking away with the trolley at the supermarket.

We'll be in the fruit and veg aisle.. and he'll just wander off somewhere taking the trolley. So I have to call him back.... And he'll fuck off again.... And then get all grumpy.

Sniffing and eating loudly. It drives me up the wall 😬

Meticulously cleaning the coffee machine to perfection. No idea that toilets need cleaned.

Just remembered something else, as it happened just a couple of minutes ago. DP asks me the weather forecast several times a week. He always looks a bit surprised when I say I don’t know. I will confess that I usually DO know. But it annoys me that he won’t look it up himself. Also, if he delays mowing the lawn or whatever, I get the blame if it rains. ‘But YOU said it was going to be dry!’ Nope, that was the weather app. My username should be MichaelFish😅

My DW always takes her trousers off and leaves one leg inside out and one leg the right way round. It wouldn't bother me, but she then gets snarky with me if I hang them out like that.
