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

lol at these loons

DP will open kitchen cabinets and stand there with hands aloft, looking at groaning shelves packed with food, stare at it for a monent, then turn and say to me (pathetically) 'there's NOTHING to eat'. Same with the fridge.

He chews ice cream and lollipops.

Pulls the loo roll with a godalmighty tug, so about 80 feet comes off in one unfurling roll, just to blow his nose with (cue trumpets)

Refuses on pain of death to eat the skin off a jacket potato ('vile') but will eat the skin on potato wedges. He is completely nonplussed and gives me the blank look when I point this anomaly out to him.

Punches the life out of the pillows before he sleeps on them.

Never, ever throws clothes away even if they are falling to pieces. Gets very upset if I have a shit clothes amnesty and throw old, crap t shirts from 1984 away (and these are not sentimental items. These are old builder clothes covered in cement/paint whatever and full of holes etc)

Meeely - my dp likes the rub thing as well. Always asked to have his back, arms and legs stroked. It's like having a very high maintenance cat.

He also likes me to rub his knuckles and pull on his fingers (nutjob)

Oh yes, DS cleans his teeth in hot water - he says hot water kills the germs better.

He says "in a little wild" instead of "in a little while". REALLY bugs me!

DH has to have the side of the bed furthest from the door. IN case of intruders. It would seem it doesn't matter if they get me or he thinks I oculd protect him

Mine will not go downstairs in his pj's when he wakes up in the morning - even if the doorbell rings on a Saturday he won't put on a dressing gown and answer it - he HAS to put on trousers and a jumper.

This is hilarious.

Ditto my dh on: chilli sauce, putting salt on without even tasting, locking the loo door in an empty house and dislike of tomatoes & lamb unless they are disguised.

other oddities include: sock balling (rolling up your used socks over and over again until they resemble a tennis ball and then throwing them into the laundry basket), will only sit in a restaurant in a corner with his back against the wall (boarding school? ) - this phobia extends to almost every aspect of his life including where our house is (in the corner of our road) and misproununciation on a grand scale, coupled with a refusal that he is wrong (the great "damp squid NO ITS DAMP SQUIB" argument a few weeks ago)

And ditto on the PJs never ever ever downstairs. Not even if his life was on the line, he'd probably want a shower first.

My dh refuses to wear socks or a dressing gown, gets up in the morning and puts on t shirt and jeans to go downstairs for breakfast then goes back up, removes clothes, has shower then puts them back on again
He also hates 'tennis ball material' and has to feel clothes before wearing them to make sure they don[t feel like that (think fleece).

LOL at this thread

My partner plucks obsessively at microscopic hairs (that cannot be seen with the naked eye) in his ears, yet (were I not there to intervene) would happily let his nostrils and eyebrows sprout horns [grossed out emoticon]

And he has to wash in the shower every time he has taken a shit.

he can't write a cheque properly

apart from that he's really brilliant!

wont eat beef as cows are 'too big' (fine if he thinks it is lamb/mutton)

takes off socks, leaves in random places then asks for them when next leaving the house, gets upset if i have put them in the wash

has started to want to wipe the rim of a plate michelin restaurant style before eating since we changed dinner sets

only washes face with cotton pads,
only uses vitamin e cream made by an old dear in knightsbridge.
lines the loo seat at home with loo roll.
goes mad if i wash anything other than pots in the sink
uses up to 15 towels a week
hates bananas
has butter on his bacon sarnies
i could go on, and on and on.

Mine always leaves the very last corner of his toast on his plate. For the pixies, he says.

and leaves all perishables out of the fridge, especially milk....

dh is always the last to get ready in our house despite the fact i get myself and the two children ready!

chooses parking spaces based on how likely it is for someone to hit his precious car

My dh refuses to cook and egg, and recoils from a pan that has had eggs cooked in it. Wuss.

an egg. He refuses to cook an egg

Will not wear pj's or dressing gown.

Oddly anal about slippers though - puts them on a soon as he comes through the door.

Takes paper to the loo regardless of length of time to be spent in there.

Will not clean up behind himself yet is fanatical about keeping up to date with the washing and will keep washing clothes.

Doesn't like cheapo clothes either. Although having said that, he has recently discovered Tesco's £6 jeans.

DH stacks his trainers NEXT to the shoe rack

hifi, what's wrong with butter on bacon sarnies?

I love butter on bacon sarnies too!
