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??

omg-just reminded me.

toast crumbs in the marg!!

why oh why oh why would you scrape in a load of toast crumbs for the next person to find? mouldy toast,anyone??!!

ooh lucykate toenail clippings in the bedside draw!!!!!!!!!
i thought it was just my dp who spent hours in the toilet but obv not, when asked why/how can one person spend so long he replied i don't want to push because of my piles. Jesus!

Tex111, exactly...but that would mean using 2 hands...

he can't sit still or lie still or in fact just be still for more than ten seconds, drives me nuts

Hes so noisy too. Bangs all the cupboard doors in the kitchen jangles the tea spoon round the cup when stirring his tea, coughs and spits into the sink when cleaning his teeth,has the tele full blast and is generaly noisy. Good job my little ones arent nervous kids. Oh and he uses spray deoderant in the bedroom where our 10 week lo is sleeping then says'what?!' when I scowl at him for it......!

• when wiping the worktops in the kitchen doesn't wring out the dishcloth properly so we have a wet-look kitchen for 2 hours after.

- never puts the ironing away - when cooking uses every pan in the house, and never washes up as he goes along Not complaining really - at least he does it! Also - slams the front door when he goes out for his 6.30am shift. - looked out of upstairs window once to see him picking his nose in the car - in full view of all the neighbours

Does the washing up - don't know why as we've got a dishwasher! Then leaves scummy water with crumbs in it in the bowl, which then gets a festering layer on it that I have to bleach and scrub off.

mine:

leaves dirty clothes anywhere but the laundry pile

will leave rubbish next to the bin if there is no bag in it rather put a new bag in

sticks those annoying little stickers that supermarkets put on apples to the side of the fruit bowl

has to be asked, every single weekend, to get the paper while he's walking the dog (ie complete inability to multi-task!)

puts empty packets/cartons back in the fridge/cupboard - yep, he has even been known to put the cardboard that comes around multipacks of yoghurt back in the fridge on its own!!

If we're going out somewhere i spend ages getting the kids ready while he gets himself ready then when he is ready he says come on lets go..........erm i havent dont my hair i have no socks on and no make up on.... which i rarely use but if we're going out i like to make an effort then he moans that theyre all in the car waiting.......

Roskva.. i did that thing with putting back the empty multipack yogurt carton in fridge on sunday, though was v hung over from a huge night out...... even though i am v lazy too!!
My dh does all the usual things of leaving kids clothes/nappies (grosss) scattered round house and wet towels everywhere, he also leaves apples cores/stems on top of computer and mince pie wrappers.
Also takes off 4 layers of filthy t-shirts in one go and puts them in wash basket for God to peel apart.

everything he does is annoying !!!

watches me cook dinner, whilst entertaining our LO and trying to clear up - and makes comments like "couldnt you have done some of this earlier, so it didnt make so much noise when i get home"

goes to the pub his ex girlfriend works at

sits around in his pants all day at the weekend

refuses to come see my parents, then drags me to his parents house, where we have to stay for hours and i get force fed food i hate.

leaves clothes everywhere

once in a blue moon does house work - then makes me feel guilty.

empties the kitchen bin after i neg him, then leaves the full smelly bin bag open on the kitchen floor, and doesnt put clean bag in bin.

hasnt changed a nappy for 6 weeks

has never bathed LO

cant fold up or put up push chair

cant fix car seat in car properly

makes the house smell

brought the xmas tree, put it in my little mini instead of huge truck and left loads of mud all over the seats

treats me like an idiot

lies to me

never tells me his plans he's made

god ill have to stop im getting angry.

DH is darn near perfect, TBH.
The only thing he does that really annoys me is when he washes his hair with the shower attachment, then leaves it in the bottom of the shower tray instead of hanging it back up.
(I mean he leaves the shower attachment in the tray, not his hair!)

(Not many of you seem to like your dp/dh to breathe, I would prefer dh to breathe!)

Leaving fishing rod and bag in the kitchen covered in mud along with tub of maggots

Leaving smelly footie kit next to washing machine on the floor - er it can be out in machine!

Leaving trail of work bag, gym bag, keys, shoes, blazer, and more, in kitchen when arriving back from work after I have cleaned and tidied up.

Farting loads after drinking beer, usually the next morning,stinking whole bedroom out.

But of course I wouldn't change him for the world lol!

Aarrgh this one is driving me mad at the moment - fills up the bin with huge cardboard boxes and milk cartons that should go in the recycling, because he can't be arsed, thereby making the bin need emptying again 2 minutes after I last emptied - then when nagged to empty it says "I'll do it later". Grrr.

Apart from refusing to magically turn into a certain paris -based hollywood actor in a puff of smoke, no matter how hard I wish? (Rum, anyone?)Well...
Having talk sport turned up really loud on a tinny little radio, so you can't even make out what they're saying (not that i'd want to!)
Explaining the rules of cricket to me for the fiftieth time, even tho i'm wearing an expression that says 'really don't care'
Not rinsing the washing up!
Ringing me from work randomly to 'see how i am' when really he's just telling me he'll be soo late home.
leaving the bathroom a soggy mess and not rinsing the bath unless i nag.
Giving me that pained expression when i moan. well why don't they just learn from what we say the first time??

PMSL laughing reading these! Brings back a lot of memories!! At times like this know why I love MN so much. Also why I like being single ftb

The inability to fold towels straight and put them back on the towel rail. Also, he seems unable to put socks and pants into the laundry basket - I have been doing this for him for 10 years FFS.

Wipes down surfaces with sopping wet cloth
Always is more tired than me even when he isn't
If I say I have any ailment he has it too at the same time but worse of course

Sits in the living room with DS while I cook and entertain DD. This is DD's choice. She insists on "helping" with the cooking. And then the minute I say it is ready and DS and DD come to the table and start getting organised with drinks etc he goes to the toilet. He is a grown man, he knows that the food will be ready shortly, why does he not take himself off for a wee beforehand? Might start doing what I do with 2yo DD before we go out. As I go in the kitchen and get the pans out, say "Right DH it is time for you to go for a wee. Yes I know you don't need one, but just try".

The burping and farting is me, so I won't blame him for that. Besides, I'm much better at it than he is.

Annoying things: the screwed up flannel on the dide of the sink thing.

Making flannels and bath towels stink after he's used them.

abusing other drivers on the road when they've done nothing wrong.

blaming me for every little thing that goes wrong, or little things around the house that get lost.

Yep, leaving the kitchen looking like Beirut when all he's done is make toast.

Just the general laziness and untidiness.

Hogging the computer when I want to be on MN

Oh, and accusing me of being obsessed with MN

Mine leaves the new loo roll on top of the loo roll dispenser instead of putting it in. He thorws his dirty clothes in the approximate direction of the lanudry basket. He constantly fidgets, moves the rug around with his feet and leaves his dirty dishes on the brand new oak block worktop when we have just had a new dishwasher installed. Am I mad to want to stab him in the eye with a fork because of these things?
