DH eats a pear like a chicken leg. What irrational things really really really

[Twiglett]

wind you up?

The thread asked what "irrational" things wind you up. But I don't think that the example you gave was irrational... that's the point .

celia at least yours change the toilet roll... I am the only person in this house who knows how to. GRRR

spacecadett- are you me?

When my DH is driving, if he gets nervous or anxious he fiddles with his nose. And every journey I can guarantee he will shake his watch down to his wrist, on the arm nearest me. I could scream!

When he sneezes it's like an explosion AAAAHHHHHCHCHCHOOOOOO!!!!!!!! complete with visible spray. YUK. Why can't he sneeze like a normal person? Yawning is the same, with a noise at the start.

I'm on a roll now. He holds his knife across his hand between thumb and forefinger and his fork with his finger on the back of the prongs. It looks so prissy.

Celia my dh is exactly the opposite. He has to have EVERY light on in the house and he doesnt turn a light off once hes left the room.

Celia - My DP is the same, he can't stand what he calls 'unnecissary (sp?) light' it drives me mad!

He also never scrapes plates that still have food on them which also dries me mad becuase when it comes to washing up i have to scrape gross old food off the plates first.

My DH scrapes his foor around the plate with a predictable little "tap-tap" as he decides what to eat next.........

TOTALLY puerile & insignificant but TOTALLY worthy of axe in the head after 15 years!!!!

We are apes.

Noone else can change the toilet roll in this house, either.

Apart from my mother, who changes it when it's half way through.

this guy is hekates husband....hur hur hur

Leaving hair in the bath and leaving trail of house keys, car keys, work badge, mobile, earphones, gym bag and shoes all over the kitchen when he gets in from work.

Slurps his tea and makes an "Ahhh" sound after each slurp.

Celia,I go about turning lights off,but I shout "It's like Blackpool 'luminations in 'ere!"

What are fashionable towels? [bewildered]

Have been reading these out to DH and chuckling. He said "don't put anything on there about me!" to which I replied,

"But you don't do anything that irrationally annoys me.

Except that breathing you do at night"

Oh - and there are things you are meant to eat with your fingers - asparagus being one. And anything that has less than 4 legs you are allowed to eat with your fingers. Well. Assuming it has been prepared and cooked. I don't suggest just going out and picking up 2 legged creatures to eat.

MuthaHubbard That's what he does, but it sounds more like this

pmsl!

Putting a pile of plates in washing up bowl without havign properly scraped... then leaving them "soaking" for me to find several hours later congealed, with bits of food floating.

Trimming beard in front of bathroom mirror... over radio... and leaving it there

I should be thankful... it used to be my dressing table

I have one he hates. I have to eat Jaffa cakes in a special way.
1 nibble around edge, just missing the jelly
2 peel off sponge bottom with teeth and eat.
3 lick off chocolate top
4 then slurpe the orangy bit.

He..... well he still kisses very sloppy.

Also everyone expecting me to have an encyclopeadiac knowledge of where everything is in the house, garden, garage. And then after they (including DH) whinge for 10 minutes because they cant find 'it', going to the exact spot, moving the 'newspaper or some such and finding said item 'exactly ' where I said it would be.

Ha - I'm pretty sure that I eat the round bottom bit first - as if eating it upside down! How odd!

I am definatly leaving this thread as I will start thinking of things and start growling at him.
PS I also Sneeze explosively.

discoverlife - exactly the same with Jaffa Cakes. It's the law, surely?

And also hate sloppy kisses. Puts me right off having one at all.

hmm, he always says 'chill' not chilled - as in 'well, that christmas was pretty chill' - aaargh, is that an 80s thing?!

and it drives me insane when he tells dd how she is feeling 'it's not the end of the world' or 'you're not hurt' - er, she is in tears and holding her head. She thinks she is hurt!

Nooooo, I don't like the orangey bit by itself.

I do eat crunchies in a horrible way - nibbling off choc and then eating the middle

FlameNfurter I eat crunchies like that too! only way

I also eat pears the proper way, top down.

An ex used to stick his tongue out when concentrating on something, I hated it and always had the urge to whack it back inside with a cushion or something.
