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

DP can't tackle any task without having a cup of coffee first.
And he can't tackle any DIY project, however small, without spreading every tool he can find around him first, creating an almighty mess. I've banned him from DIY now, which means I have to do it

you are only allowed to have brown sauce on bacon sarnies, its the law. my mum says there's enough fat in the bacon so butter is excessive.

No no no, no brown sauce. Bread, butter, bacon and a slice of fresh tomato. No sauce of any description.

oh don't get me started on corduroy. dh also thinks it is 'pure evil'. he once asked to move seats on a plane because th man next to himhad a pair of cord trousers on and it was 'nearly' touching his leg.
the phrase 'elephant cord' makes him retch.

it's quite useful if i want rid of him for an hour.

lst, yours sounds like a poofs bacon sarnie.

How very dare you hifi.

Oh Califrau, I thought I was the only one with a houseful of boxes from electrical goods! I have an entire cupboard wasted storing the boxes from his PC/monitor etc. Have never got a clear answer why we need to keep these.....
Will not hang his coat up - leaves it on the floor as he comes in the door 'as he'll just need again tomorrow'. Grrr.

I'm a box keeper too But usually only for a few months, till I'm sure I won't need to take the item back to the hop. it's also come in handy when I've sold stuff on eBay and I can say it's in the original box. Buyers seem to like that.

As I was sittng chortling over this thread, my dh has come in from the gym, removed his sweaty jock strap and chucked it in the corner of the living room

DH is completely incapable of either putting dishes into the dishwasher properly or telling our toothbrushes apart, despite the fact I always get him a blue one and me a pink one... He can iron, but cannot fold to save his life... He will not wear slippers, sandals, flipflops, espadrilles etc.

Blousy, I suppose the cleaning fairies will pick it up?

Mine has to have the tv volume on an even number, god help me if its left on 19 or 21!

lolol at this thread

dh wears shorts all year round, even when it is snowing. It's a conversation starter all right (he has been known to go out in the snow in shorts and yellow wellies )
balls up his socks and leaves them where he took them off
buys three identical t-shirts then wears them constantly (I'm sure everyone must think he only owns one shirt!)
Won't wear slippers or pyjamas
Often can't find things that are right in front of him
Has to have his tea in an enormous cup, made with two teabags, which are steeped for several minutes, then fished out after a quick swirl (but NEVER squeezed). Then slightly less than a third of cold water added, then about three drops of milk. And if you do any of it slightly different, he will notice immediately! (and rarely finishes a cup either )

None of these things actually bother me, I have to say, but do make me smile

Just thought of another one - he always sneezes three times. Apart from when he sneezes six times!

hahahaha great thread!

dh has very strict ideas as to what constitutes an evening meal and a jacket potato is most definitely not an evening meal,

has too many clothes, but thinks the solution is to pile them all at the end of the bed,

when emptying the dishwasher, takes everything out and stacks it neatly on the draining board.... for me to put away!

thinks going "wah!" in ds' face when he's having a crying fit is a good way to calm a hysterical baby down

won't throw a single magazine away, we have stacks and stacks of runners world and conde nast traveller magazine, which he never reads,

is a member of a wine club despite rarely drinking wine... we have nearly a 100 bottles in the house at the moment, they keep accumulating.

Oh I could go on forever but I'm too busy putting clean plates away and picking up his clothes from the end of the bed!

Miaou - strictly speaking, sneezing 6 times is sneezing three times twice.

I sneeze in multiples of 3, too.

That's what I mean HerdNerd - it's either threes or multiples thereof (he has been known to sneeze nine times )

(our little dses always sneeze twice - we think they are working up to the adult version )

DP has this annoying habit of flushing the toilet just before he's done peeing....thus leaving pee in the toilet and making the bathroom smell like piss. It's some little game he has with his penis or something, but I'm not having it! I have been known to frogmarch him back in to flush properly!

mine does that! Its a real PITA. and he has to put lots of loo ro;; down before he poos to stop the 'plop'!
