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

[Twiglett]

wind you up?

hmmm.... ok. I change it too, it's soooo bugging! DH always changes it back again to wind me up though, really to the point where I am close to cracking!

Oh god dp BITES into the top of a banana to start off peeling it

he will also bite packets to open them, rather than use his fingers

I can't bear it [shudder]

the other thing I could happily pinch him for is he starts all sentences off very quietly, before becoming audible. He is quite shy and it's as if he needs to warm up a little before he can actually bear anyone to hear him. I wouldn't mind this so much if he didn't, when asked "pardon?", ONLY REPEAT THE SECOND PART OF THE SENTENCE, THE BIT THAT WAS AUDIBLE ANYWAY

like this
DP: "hmmm mm hmm hmm hmm mmm wearing a PVC bra and his wife didn't even know!"

Me: "Sorry? I didn't catch that?"

DP: "His wife didn't know!"

Me:

I like to cut my pear into four slices, lengthways, and cut out the little corey bits.

If I was forced to eat a pear wuithout cutting it, I would eat it round and round. Easier to leave the little corey bit.

I am exactly the same with apples

DHs inability to feed himself if I go out. He will then complain he is hungry and has a headache from not eating all day. YOU ARE A GROWN MAN. FEED YOURSELF!

Also when he asks to "borrow" money, which he never pays back.

oh I like to vary my pear eating technique depending on the type, ripeness and size of pear

people (okay, my mum!) who call me then eat on the phone, saying "I've just walked through the door and I'm starving". Well bloody eat, THEN phone me

The irrational thing that gets me is astrology.

My mum came out with a ridiculous astrology comment a couple of days ago.

Well, I had been shopping with dh and said that I don't like to stop for lunch when I ma shopping as it wastes time and money. Dh always has to stop for food at meal times. I was annoyed by that.

Then my mum says, 'oh yes, I always have to stop for food at meal times even if I'm not hungry. I'm like your dh. I really think it's a gemini thing. I think people with the same star signs have a lot in common'

I couldn't think of s response so I said nothing.

agree clareenglish.
a bin seems to be an alien concept to him.frequently leaves a crisp packet or cat food packet just beside THE BIN- NOT IN OR ON BUT BESIDE.
sigh
