When people say "but.." or "but anyway", not to introduce another idea but just leaving it trailing, to attempt to move on from something contentious they have just said without it being challenged.
e.g.:
"Well, they ought to send them back to their own country. But anyway..."

Mummydoit, my DH does that nose-blowing thing too. Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah...and when he sneezes you can feel the house shake.

And if you offer him food as in 'taste this' he sticks his tongue out to receive it. I always want to say 'Body of Christ'

And when he's hungry or tired he doesn't say so, he asks me if I am, ie, looks at me nervously and says 'Do you want to go to bed in a minute?' Err no but you obviouly do. Like he's scared to go without me or something.

And he phones me every lunchtime (which is sweet) but he always says the same thing. 'Hello, it's me. What's new?' and then I listen to him breathing for a couple of minutes then he says 'I haven't got much to tell you, so I'll see you later.'

If I'm out he always leaves the same message, 'Hello, it's me, it's 20 past one, give me a call when you get back from wherever it is you've gone.'

Then I call him back and have the what's new conversation...

SlartyBartFast · 30/12/2007 15:03

my dh turns off the radio. i am listening, even if i am not there now, i will be back.
grrrrrrrrr

My xp used to dither or freeze at stressful times which drove me mad. Make a decision and stick to it even it is wrong. I can't stand faffing about, will I or won't I-ing.

The other thing was when I'd finally snapped my preferred option at him, he'd probably opted for the other one by then which totally confused him. Or which put him into a mood that I was being so impatient or my tone of voice was wrong (eh?) .

I also couldn't stand my x bf criticising my family even though it was stuff I'd said about them previously and thoroughly agreed with.

Hey, only I'm entitled to insult my family!. You insult yours .

dh arrives in from work every evening and does this routine.
empties all his pockets onto a small coffee table.the pockets contain the following
bits of torn cardboard
tobacco
rollie papers(loose)
several small screws form the back of a computer
a screw driver
loose matches a passport
a pile of receipts
a cache of pennies
some dust and some dirt or grit

he then takes off his hat and gloves and balances these on top of the pile.
he then takes off his vcoat and suit jacket and scrunches them down behind him so they are crushed into a mess on the seat
then the stuff on the table falls on the floor.
then he swears loudly

every night its the same routine.every night the stuff hits the floor and every night he is surprised by it.
i can no longer be in the room as it is so boring

anorak · 30/12/2007 15:15

oh cremola that is funny the way he's surprised by the same thing every day

LadyOfWaffle · 30/12/2007 15:24

toilet roll goes over the top otherwise you can't fold it into a point.

BroccoliSpears · 30/12/2007 15:26

When DP reads something out from a newspaper, he speeds through it to the point where I can't actually understand a word he's saying. You know like that nuhnuhnuhnuh noise you make when you're just skimming through the artical for the interesting bit to read clearly? He does that for the whole artical. Why? What's the point? I don't understand nuhnuhduhnuh!

"Ha ha - this'll make you smile, listen to this; "Two men were walkingandtheynuhnuhnuhduhnuh nuhnuhduhnuh..." cont. for 3 minutes, completely ignoring your poor girlfriend as she screams that she can't understand what you're SAYING!

BroccoliSpears · 30/12/2007 15:28

Also if you put anything down for a second in this house he puts it in the dishwasher. I love that he tidies up (lord knows I don't) but I promise you I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that he managed to put the fork that I was using to eat my dinner in the dishwasher a couple of night ago.

newnamefornewyearbookwormmum · 30/12/2007 15:29

LoW - you fold your toilet rolls into a point? .

newnamefornewyearbookwormmum · 30/12/2007 15:31

BS - he sounds like my x bf. Sometimes I was frightened to sit down or do anything in his flat in case I disarranged anything . Even breathing seemed dodgy at times.

LadyOfWaffle · 30/12/2007 15:31

When DH and I start to say something at the same time, I say "you first" because I know he will forget what he is saying. He makes me go first, saying he won't forget then when I am done it's "oh, I have forgotten now". ALL the time!

And he always forgets jokes. "there was an Englishman, Irishman and a Scottishman... err, o, that's not it... there was a Scottish camel... hang on a minute... 2 secs, let me think... hmmm...." gets most the way through the joke then forgets the punchline. Every darn time!

LadyOfWaffle · 30/12/2007 15:32

Sometimes, when people come I do, or cleaning the bathroom. Apart from that, no.

My DH can be quite amusing and often has me guffawing out loud at his silly jokes, however he then completely ruins it all by acting all surprised and asking "what?......" As if he hadn't meant to make me laugh at all - every. bloody. time. aaaaggghh. I thought it was funny you idiot

Pmsl at anoraks lunchtime phone calls, i think i may be guilty of this

I often find an empty loo roll sitting on the cistern, a full one on the holder and an empty bin on the floor. If someone can go to the bother of changing the loo roll, I really wonder why they can't finish the job off properly by binning the cardboard inside.

dh can't use a damp or wet cloth. he refuses to touch anything wet and therfore he cannot wipe up.he has a particular aversion to wringing out a facecloth or kitchen cloth.
its pathetic
