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

(faints)@flour in frezzer...just a quick question...does it keep well?..lol

Lol @ Mumcentre+. It never lasts long enough in our house to grow fur.

What is frozen flour like? Does it go hard?

Jam might go fizzy in the summer though, but that's not a reason to put it in the fridge.

And what about marmalade?

Oh yes, v well. I live in Nigeria and found that flour got infested with weevils, or whatever they are, v quickly, until a friend told me to keep the flour in the freezer. Hey presto, weevil-less flour. Unless the electricity fails and everything defrosts.....

Hmm, to fridge or not to fridge. Glad to hear dh and I are not the only two people in the world to disagree on this one (I got to the age of 29 without suffering any ill effects from not keep 'preserves' in the fridge; and until I was 29 I had space in my fridge for perishables, like milk, and meat.)
Back to the slippers. DH got a pair of what I think are Merrell Jungle Mocs (lucky enough to get them off a friend for £1). He wears them as slippers and loves them.
But he uses washing up liquid to wash his hands when downstairs, when there is liquid hand soap right next to the w/u liquid... and judging by the state of our handtowels he doesn't use any soap at all when upstairs.

No, it doesn't go hard, Lynette, it's just v cold. It feels weird if you're rubbing butter into it.

Jam grows fur if you put your buttery butter knife in it, not because you don't put it in the fridge. Even in the fridge, if it has been soiled with fat it grows fur. I really should go to bed.

So, does noone even want to know what Adiletten are?

I even googled. Just in case

Fizzy jam .....not good!

That is usually the case in my house too sue...thats why I was so shocked!..lol

[email protected] people don't even see them sue...you get them in the UK too..but I think they are smaller

No mistaking these weevils. It's like having caterpillars in your food! Our shipment came yesterday, in which I'd put some bread flour. It's been sitting on the dockside for weeks so I'm wondering if that's gone weevil-ey.

Feeling queasy at the thought of caterpillars in flour.

Since noone wants to know about Adiletten I will go to bed.

My dh will only lie on my left-hand-side. He 'cannot' lie on the right. This applies not just at home, but also, e.g., if camping.

He is obsessed with chilli. No matter what he's cooking... in go the chillis. And - if I comment that his food is 'a bit on the hot side' - he always claims that 'it tasted really bland' up until two minutes before serving.

He has a horror of belly buttons. Especially outies. He refused to look at my pregnant belly once my belly button popped out. And he refused to cut dd2's umbilical cord (dd1 was a c-section, so no danger there).

I have [shudder] seen him do the wiping of the sweaty nethers with the dirty socks thing too. Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Have just remembered another one...

He uses my hairdryer to dry his nethers when he gets out of the shower.

Ell my DH is the same with Chillis..it was my fault...now he can't do without them!

LMFAO @Hairdryer & nethers

Mumcentre+, I think that chillis are actually addictive. DH also insists that he has had mild hallucinogenic experiences from them.

ellbell, does he mousse them as well?

I heard that Ell...they actually stimulate the brain (endorphins) and improve the digestion...

I'm waiting for the day that one of his pubes gets caught in the end of the hairdryer... [ouch emoticon].

lmfao..please do tell when that happens

Kindersurpise are they not those like beach/swimming pool type flip floppy things??

DH says lavender gives him a headache but if I have anything with lavendar in it without telling him he never notices.

He hates lamb as well but will eat it if he thinks it is something else.

Sigs 3 times in bed before he falls asleep, I am telling you all that huffing and puffing is a pain.

There are loads but can't think of them just now.

What a funny thread!! My DH

says Broccoli and all of the "tree family" are poisonous (this includes cauliflower and asparagus, since it looks like twigs!)

keeps his workshop/ garage meticulous, but sheds clothes and magazines all over the house

Would NEVER wear slippers, only clumpy boots, and ALWAYS stands in dog poo, no matter where he goes, and drags it into the house

MUST have the TV remote control in his hands at all times, even if going to the loo.

Is incapable of finding anything, even if I tell him exactly where to look, until i physically get up and prove to him that it is where I told him it would be!

"Is incapable of finding anything, even if I tell him exactly where to look, until i physically get up and prove to him that it is where I told him it would be!"

That rings true here too! TBH it's the same with my kids though (funny how there are lots of similarities between his behaviour and the kids').

DH won't wear slippers either.

His worst habit is probably wiping his sweaty brow on the hand towels and putting them back, or cleaning the floor with the washing up cloth and putting it back in the sink.

Whatever I cook for the family, he has to add some sort of chilli sauce to it before he can eat it, otherwise he will die.
