Stupid Arguments you have with your DPs/DHs (Light hearted)

We've had an argument tonight because I was skyping my dad and asked DP to put dinner on, When I was showing him what to do, he did that STUPID man thing when they start walking away like they are so done with the convo, and even have that "Zoned out" look in their eyes.

Anyway an hour later I walk out the front room to see he's gone off in a sulk and not started dinner, I refuse to talk to him for being a hideous man child and he refuses to talk to me. god knows why, I am obviously right.. ahem I am now sulking upstairs (I managed to smuggle up some snacks though bwahaha)

I'm in for a joyful evening aren't I?! Grin

What silly things have you and your DP fallen out over?!

Him:
Putting dirty clothes next to washing bin, not in.
Taking shoes off in the middle of a room and leaving them there.
Doesn't believe dusting is necessary as "if the place was hoovered regularly than there shouldn't be any dust" But he never hoovers either!
Uses every possible kitchen appliance, saucepan and bowl to cook a meal, and never clears up as he cooks.
Never puts a fresh bin bag in after removing full bin bag.

Me:
Never clears out rotting veg from the fridge.
Rarely puts a load of washing on.
Stacks the dishwasher badly apparently

Which celebrities are dead. Seriously, we'll be watching an old sitcom and one of us will say "it shows how old this is, he/she has been dead for decades" the other one will say "no, they're still alive" and it goes on until one of us gets up to look at Google and wave it in the other ones face saying "see? i told you!".
It can het a little heated...

Ours is the same, pacific, with the tv plug switched off, though instead dh pulls the plugs out... The reason also coming from MIL. Where did she get that from? He pulls all the plugs out, but not Sky....does he think the sky box won't set on fire then..?

Also, he insisted once that Heinz vegetable soup was more substantial than normal soup because of the vegetables....I could have sworn they are not exactly proper fresh veg, are they?

He thinks he irons better than me, although he manages to leave a shine in my work pants...

By the way, I 'allow'him to think he's good at it, that way he carries on ironing....I'm fine with the shine, really Wink
Me not daft Grin

yy to this. And then he has the cheek to complain I don't empty the bin enough - at least i dont' do a half-arsed job!

Also when he throws dirty dishes/cultery in the sink for me to sort out rather than just putting them in the bloody dishwasher.

Also daily fights about not stacking the dishwasher 'properly'.

Whose turn it is to hoover/dust/clean the bathroom/etc.

If we had a full-time cleaner we would never argue.

His inability to admit he is wrong or incorrect about something. After 15 years I said "its statistically impossible for someone else to be right 15 years in a row."

We are now 23 years together and he still won't SAY he is wrong but he will give me a wink.Grin

He uses my girly smelling shower gel when i buy him a manly smelling one.

I move his paperwork (because he doesnt tidy it)

His poo smells and makes me feel sick.

He wakes up before me and fijits around for ages before getting up....

I could go on...oh and did i mention im pregnant and incredibly hormonal (may have something to do with it!)
