He won't wear slippers or use liquid soap.Tell me about your partners idiosyncrasies

[cremolafoam]

i keep buying slippers.he keeps making them vanish

Eats ice-cream with a TEA SPOON!!! The man is 6' 3" for gawds sake. But he still eats the majority of his puddings with a iddy biddy spoon

Fizzy - snap, apparantly his mouth is too small

Actually sue your DH is correct not to apply water to his toothbrush...you are apparently supposed to create the foam yourself and the the initial first brushing is good for your mouths circulation or something..(Ahem)

Schmoopoo - PMSL

Fizzy - DH is reading overmy shoulder and agrees with your DH. Says that if you eat ice-cream with a normal spoon it goes to quickly [FFS] - YOU'RE 30!!!!!!!!!!

Takes his socks off downstairs, balls them up and throws them from wherever he is sat in the general direction of the stairs and then leaves them there until I take them up

Will not eat mashed potato unless on a pie e.g.Shepherds/Cottage.
Can not tolerate cereal with milk.

Do not get me started on the pants and socks.
He is hot, so I tolerate the idiosycrasies.

dh hates onions in food - not because of the taste but because he hates biting on them . He cooks without if he can get away with it, chops them into microscopic pieces if he can't, and struggles manfully to enjoy food I've cooked with normally-small pieces of shallot in.
But he makes and drinks raw onion juice when he has a cold

He hates, genuinely hates having his hair cut - it really makes him feel uncomfortable.

He is a terrible inverted snob. In his family only technical or manual work really counted as 'work' and he (doctoral student of psychology) often makes self-disparaging comments about not doing anything 'practical', although he loves his work.

DP will wear shorts all the time, even in the middle of winter.

He tries on every item of clothing he owns (and he has twice as much as me) before he goes out anywhere, and then leaves them on the bed.

He eats cereal with a soup spoon.

He will put a fresh bin bag on the floor and start filling it with rubbish, rather than empty the old bag and put it outside.

There are loads more...

If it isn't Indian food then it isn't real food. If he goes out and there is a buffet or a meal on he'll pick at it and then come home and eat his curry.

He uses high tech. microscopes, can even take photos of the wierd stuff he looks at with them and test blood samples using machines with more buttons and wires than our entire household but he can't use our simple digital camera or send a text message or even read one on his mobile phone.

Lalalalala, not listening, not listening, Mumcentreplus. I'm right he's wrong, I'm right, he's wrong, lalalalala!

lol..I like eating icecream with a teaspoon too (guilty as charged)..

lmao@sue...(denial ...a terrible thing)

Ok I had to add my wierdness. I like to eat my cheesecake warm or hot if possible. I will microwave it before I eat it.
Drives dh up the wall

Mine uses far too much loo roll

If a loo roll has a tiny bit left on he'll leave it and start a new one (drives me mad)

He chews soup

Will only drink green tea

Brushes his teeth by moving his head instead of the toothbrush

Drops almost everything where he finishes using it

Will NOT get dressed upstairs, then complains that his pyjamas are downstairs - he was a committed nekked sleeper but then we moved into a bigger house that we're too tight to heat properly

Leaves towels in little wet piles

Why can't I think of all the others? Where has this thread been all my shacked up/married life?

When he has put DS's hot lunch in the wide necked flask, he then puts the flask in the oven to keep it warm before DS leaves for school.

Will NOT wear any sensible footwear for outdoor activities and did serious mountain hiking in the bright red volcanic mud of Mauritius in a pair of new white Converse.

Steams potatoes. It takes about 12 years.

DH eats ice cream with a teaspoon too. And cereal.

He goes to the loo at the same time everyday (after breakfast) and sits for aaages with a book.

Sometimes he takes a mouthful of tea/coffee and holds it in his mouth for a moment or two till I shout "SWALLOW, FGS"

This is THE best thread in ages!

PMSL!!

Also starts the new packets of everything rather than finishing anything. "New! Better!"

Always says 'yes' to a cup of tea. Never drinks it.

Puts dirty cutlery in the sink instead of the dishwasher.

Wears through clothes in an incomprehensibly short amount of time.

He would keenly participate in a thread about my idiosyncracies too, though.

Always wears two t shirts, and tucks the underneath one into his pants. Keeps out the drafts, apparently

DrN come join the My DH uses too much loo roll and it pisses me off club...just need a signature ...

Mine uses a teaspoon for ice cream and stuff like sticky toffee pudding too.

He takes things to put them away and puts them next to the cupboard they are supposed to go in (and then has the cheek to say I don't put anything away)

He cannot wring out a dish cloth or a face cloth and leaves puddles everywhere when wiping down the kitchen or half drowns the children when giving their faces a wash.

If pushed for time he would rather wash the wheels on his car so the car looks better than clean the windscreen so that he can see out when he is driving.

Aftre going to the loo my dh takes a clean piece of loo roll and chews it. He has always done this.

Oh and if we are eating in front of the tv watching a film he will not take a bite of his food untill the programm/film has started

mine won't wear jeans. and ds is taking after him. ggrrr.

we don't wear slippers here, any of us.

more of dh's little ways:

He always lets his tea go cold and then drinks it cold. And he likes eating leftovers cold, even ones which are totally inappropriate to eat cold.

Takes his clothes into the living room to get dressed. His parents do this - he has it from them.

Rearranges the dishwasher when I load it with the result that I often just don't bother

He used to brush his teeth on the loo, until I put a stop to it. No real idea why but I find it very unhygienic.
