Most annoying thing your DP does

[Qwertyasdfgz]

What’s your pet peeve against your DP?

Mine is that whenever he hoovers he will just leave cobwebs or that he’ll ‘do’ the kitchen and not wipe any of the surfaces and leaves everything that doesn’t belong in the kitchen in the kitchen😂

Mine does that too when he 'cleans' the kitchen he literally washes up, doesn't touch the surfaces.
He spends far too long in the bath imo
He always 'forgets' to put the bins out

I've NC because I feel like this is outing for some reason but whenever we have company coming/getting ready to host a party he "helps" by breaking down any boxes in the garage... the place no one goes. Or cleaning his car or some other chore that doesn't have any affect on the guests. He's not stubborn about it though, he redirects if asks! It's just funny that's where his head always goes.

snores

Whenever he goes for a poo he has to use a fresh roll of loo roll and leaves half empty ones on the shelf's 😡
Gives me the rage 🤣

Eats, but I find anyone eating hard to cope with.

Just him, given a list of tasks he is totally incapable of doing them in a logical order ie start by putting the washing on so it has time to dry.

He does all the hoovering and floor washing so I have learnt to cope.

Throws the tea towels in the wash basket and doesn't get out a clean one.

Touches his face and mouth the whole time. It's a habit that he has developed over the last few years. All the other daily irritations I can deal with, but I find this beyond annoying.

I have ADHD and one of my hacks is leaving doors open or lights on when I’m in the middle of something, so that if I walk away and come back I can remember what I was doing. DH is a very tidy soul and bloody shuts doors and turns lights off 😂 it’s such a pain but probably I need a better coping mechanism!

Tells me how easy it is looking after the baby after the 1 day I have to go to work each week 🤣 he says while absolutely no house work is done in the slightest. I mean, I suppose it would be easy if I didn't have to do ANYTHING else at all 🤣

Leaving bloody wet towels on the bed! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

If I mention I had a bad night sleep he only got 45 mins or if my toe hurts he stubbed his the day before and thinks its broken

Breaks stuff, my stuff.

He broke a tea plate a few months ago. He said, "Shit happens but I've bought 3 plates off EBay so we'll have 2 spares".

Two nights ago he's in the kitchen and "crash". Another plate broken, now we only have one spare!

He's broken a salt pig, garlic jar, garlic press, my Auntie mug (his Uncle mug is intact). Glasses, Kindles, his luckily. My Pyrex mixing bowl, cut through the orange lawnmower cable, used metal utensils on my new non stick saucepans. Dropped a jar of fenugreek on the kitchen floor and used the Hoover to suck it up. We had to throw the Hoover out we couldn't get rid of the smell of fenugreek.

And he ripped up my passion flower plant with dead nasturtiums and dumped it in the council garden waste bag. I made him get out of head at 6am to put it back. Luckily it's thriving.

His constant "hovering" drives me nuts. He will just stand in the middle of the room to chat or watch TV. Either sit down or go away!

Breathes

He's not a mega snorer, but he like, blows really forcefully in his sleep

(From his mouth I mean)

Its really quite loud, and even if I'm facing away from him I can feel an icy gust ruffling my hair every 4 seconds.

I love him to bits but I've had many a 3am 'what if I just hold this pillow against your face for a while' moment.

Competitive tiredness here too - he is a poor sleeper and takes it out on the rest of us with a man grump. Horrible. Especially as I do every single night with the baby - not an early night or lie in for me on the cards.

also he refuses to believe that anyone can be actually ill after about 2pm in case sorting it affects his desired bedtime. We have many stories of him being an arse about this.

basically stuff around sleep and bedtime. He acknowledges that he is BU with this.

Sounds like my husband!

He continues to exist

He appears to think that a quarter of the footpath is quite enough for someone going in the other direction (he does it to men too, he's an equal-opportunities arsehole)

He vocalises his sneezes

He is almost cured of continually ensuring he walks three inches ahead of me

He is almost cured of turning his head to talk to me while he's driving

(we've been together over three decades)

He still says "my house" and "my car"

He (I believe genuinely) mis-remembers things so that when telling people about our decisions he'll make out that he was the one who persuaded me into it, when it was quite decidedly the other way round

... but the most bloody annoying thing he does is, when you have made a statement or put a view or something, his go-to immediate response is "no" - so he will start by saying "no,..." and then go on to spend about three times as long as he needs to in demonstrating that he actually completely agrees with you.

Which quite apart from anything else suggests that he wasn't actually listening properly. I called him out on it once, and I'm not sure he believed me.

Constantly bringing dirt into the kitchen on his shoes,this makes me want to kill him daily.

He won’t go away.

Doesn't slow down enough when we are trying to find somewhere in the car. Drives me nuts because we constantly miss turnings and have to reroute because hes whizzed past before I've read the road name or the sat nav has caught up. Not speeding but enough speed that I cant see what I need to.

He knows it annoys me so much so that when we were playing a mr and mrs type game as a couple once and he was asked what I'd say his worst habit was he wrote 'drives too quickly when lost'

Grrr.

Leaves things open, lids off or cupboard doors open.

I deal with most of the planning of days out/holidays etc. he will happily leave it all to me then on the day we are leaving when it's all arranged and sorted he suddenly wants opinions and also despite being informed as things were being booked he suddenly needs a full itinerary because he's forgotten everything I told him. Drives me mad.

Attempts DIY. Every single thing he tries to fix ends up worse. I now literally beg him to leave it the fuck alone and let me hire a goddamn professional.
