What little things does your man do that really irritate you?

[Tex111]

My list includes:

Putting dirty nappies on TOP of the nappy pail rather than inside it.

Hanging his coat on the door handle of the coat closet rather than inside it.

Coming home from work, putting his very expensive suit jacket on the back of a kitchen dining chair then going to the bedroom to undress. Inevitably the jacket gets something smeared on it by sticky little fingers but he never seems to learn.

Forgetting to take his wet swim towel out of his gym bag then using one of our good bath towels the next time he goes for a swim leaving the mouldy gym towel for me to deal with.

Dumping his gym bag in the hall outside the cupboard that I cleared out especially for his gym bag.

When there are only a few dirty dishes he just shoves them in on top of the already clean dishes in the dishwasher and runs the whole lot again, thereby getting the dirty dishes somewhat clean and the clean dishes somewhat dirty.

Anyone else driven to the brink of insanity by little things like this??

... leaving any drinking recepticle wherever he was when he took the last slug ie empty can of becks in bathroom, empty bottle of beer by the bed next to reading book

That should be 'on HIS Blackberry' of course.

Does the dirty laundry in front of the washer too and leaves wadded up tissues in his trouser pockets so I have to check his pockets before washing just like I do our four year old's.

I could be here all day.
He comes home from refereeing and leaves his bag in the living room. "There's washing in there" he says. Unless i nag him it will stay there till he needs it again. Mind you, so does the dirty washing
He leaves dishes to "soak", which inevitably means filling the basin with ater, filling it with dirty dishes and leaving them there, usually overnight.
Looking in the fridge, and saying "there's loads of veg needing used up". To which i reply, well yes there is because it only got delivered yesterday.
Coming in and switching on the tv. Even if i listening to music (which i rarely get the chance to do)or just sitting in poeace and quiet reading.
Flicking channels over during the adverts to find Football results or rugby scores. He's not as bad as his dad, who has the sky programme banner going constantly all the way through a programme.

burping and farting

he always says what have YOU done with my ...(insert keys,trainers,etc)

dumps gym bag in bedroom and then wonders why it hasnt been washed....that bloody washing fairy needs a kick up the arse obviously

leaving the bin lid open

not being able to make a cuppa without chucking tea bag juice everywhere

taking his many layers of workclothes off in one go so i have to detangle them when it comes to washing time

walking out the door ten mins before im ready

wants ridiculous food in tesco's like microwave kebabs or red bull (budget wont fit those items!)

makes it sounds like he changes all the nappies in the whole world ever

oh and he breathes . . .

... telling me whilst watching me do something how he would do it >> god i am ejoying this thread its like therapy

ginnedupmummy - I do that to him

FB x

I can make Christmas lunch and still have a relatively tidy kitchen. DH makes toast and it's like a hurricane of bread crumbs and butter has hit the kitchen side.

hee hee tex111-same here!

Leaving his clothes where ever he takes them off, bathroom his home office. Unless standing by the washing basket in which case throws to his side of the bed.

Not closing doors and drawers the last 1/2 inch, so the cutlery drawer get full of crumbs. Also not being able to find anything because the door or drawer is shut.

Not cleaning the bathroom after use, loo, sink after he has shaved after 3 days leaving whiskers everwhere.

Not putting shoes or coat on racks he insisted we got.

Message withdrawn

breathes.

going to the toilet just as we're about to leave and then taking 20 minutes at least.

if I ask him to wash anything up he 'puts it into soak' and it'll stay there until I do something about it.

Not being able to sit/stand still when on the phone.

Not responding if I say something (so I assume he hasn't heard)

Ignoring ds so he can play on computer (ok maybe I do this as well )

Staying up till stupid o'clock on WofW and then being exhausted, but doing the same every night.

Picking his feet.

Not believing me when I say I like plain popcorn and so putting any variety of toppings on it which I don't like.

NEVER washes cutlery but leaves it in sink
Uses a different cup every time he makes a brew, leaving the dirty one on the side
Spends about 20 mins on the loo every time so I have to shout upstairs that I need to go

Picks his nose when driving

never putting the lids back on anything.

He also finds it impossible to simply make a sandwich put the lids on stuff put on plate take to table/chair and eat, he always makes and eats them in the kitchen leaving the lids off stuff in case he wants more.

I can't complain that much because he is very good normally.

But when we are in the supermarket I will say to him, "I'm just going off to get shampoo / washing powder / whatever" (because obvy that's my role, even though he washes too!) and he will carry on around the aisles.

And then I will catch up with him, and he will have forgotten loads of stuff on his way around. But, when I say, "we need such and such" he will get a harumph on and say "oh you should have said on the way round, now we have to go all the way back". I would have said if you didn't disappear off!!!

And another thing. We are quite good at splitting the housework and he always does his chores without asking. So I don't ask, as you wouldn't. BUT, he'll cheerfully say to me, "you won't forget to do X will you?" Have I ever forgotten do to X? Like, I feed the pets, every single day without fail (obviously) but he'll still say, "have you fed the pets this morning?"

Oooh that feels better.

I wright a shopping list through the week ready for Friday shopping. He follows me round the supermarket asking 'do we want.......?Or as were in the car half way to where ever he asks stupid questions like 'did you pack more nappies/bottle/bibs/spare pants for ds etc. Bit late if I havn't isnt it dear?

chews paper. It revolts me.

Gingeme my man is the same, we leave the house and he starts asking if I have this and that.

The thing that came into my mind as an irritant is that dh closes the door to the toilet and dd cannot open it as it sticks. He says its a habit of a lifetime, but I have only noticed him doing it the last 6 months.

what sort of paper Greensleeves?? (thats more weird than irritant, sort of)

Answering the phone in front of me and then talking to the caller for ages, often about me, without telling me who he's talking to. All he has to do is say "Hello whoever" or drop their name in to the conversation or ffs just saying hold on a moment and just telling me! but he doesn't because he knows it winds me up. Still he's pretty much a saint otherwise apart from the snoring so I guess I should be grateful to have so little to complain of.

Any paper! He rips little bits of it off and chews it. It's disgusting. I've told him he is rotting his insides with bleach, but he carries on doing it anyway.

Hasnt he heard of chewing gum? So much better for his teeth

Today he took the car keys to work with him, leaving me stranded.

To make it worse he was only going in for an hour and ended up there all day.

To make it even worse I got phone cals every 5 minutes asking me to email him various bits and pieces.
Arrrghhhhh!

Bizarre... Do yuo think he is lacking in some sort of nutritional uptake? Or just pure oral fetish?

Actually my man has a number of nervous twitches which really get on my gimp. And he has taken to picking his nose while driving - revolting!

Oh, god I am on a roll now! He also likes to ask statement questions "Do you know who that is?" ie while we are watching or listening to something blatently obvious. gets on my wick now.

Have just asked him - he says he thinks it's because he just wants to be eating all the time
