(DON'T) LTB

[QuitChewingMyPlectrum]

Petty thread

What does your partner do that gives you that couple of seconds rage 😡

It can be over in seconds and doesn't mean you have to LTB but in those 2 seconds you would happily trade them in 😂

Phones me from the car on his way home (cute I know) but coughs the entire way through the conversation. I try to end it politely by saying I'll let you go as your coughing but he just keeps going, chat - cough - chat - cough. Drives me insane!

Leaves doors and cupboards open. We work together and he does it in the office as well. 😫

Puts rubbish on top of the bin/bin bag 😤

His absolute refusal to deviate from his shopping list if I offer to get take away or meal out.
Planning everything in fine detail with zero spontaneity.
Tea bags piled up in the little holder and not binned.
Choosing easy jobs ( hoover) but never cleans a bathroom. Never rinses toothpaste after cleaning teeth.
Stuffing things on top of cupboards and fridge.
Nothing matches - washes duvet cover / sheet but leaves pillow cases so none matching bedding.

What is with men and socks?? It’s bizarre. Either put them on your feet or put them in the hamper. If you know you’re going to take them off anyway when you’re on the sofa, then take them off with your shoes.

I don’t think I’ve ever paid enough attention to my socks to suddenly, desperately need to remove them and chuck them on the floor whilst watching television.

Crumbs. Every damn day. It’s given me an irrational hatred of toast.

Recycling in the main bin and non-recyclables in the recycling bin.
Leaving empty sweet/crisp packets lying about.
Deciding the very moment I have just sat down with a coffee and 5 mins to myself is the exact time to come and chat about some banal non-urgent issue.

Snoring. Which is why I'm awake yet again.

Being perfectly happy to live like an overgrown student.

He's lucky he's lovely. I'm getting stabbier by the minute here.

Leaves crumbs/pools of water on the side

Runs the water at full pelt for several minutes getting water every where.

Uses every pan and plate to make a meal

Is so slow at tasks, will literally take hours to make a pasta bake

Snores
Leaves pee and pubic hairs on the toilet rim
doesn’t rinse pans (curry/pasta sauce) before putting them in the dishwasher
doesn’t rinse toothpaste out of the sink
when he does the garden he only mows the lawn, doesn’t seem to realise that there’s weeds in the flower beds and between the paving slabs

Oh yes, the extravagant sneezing makes me stabby.

Another vote for SNORING. I struggle with sleep anyway so it’s a terrible combo. He also never snored at all until after we got married which feels especially deliberate and unfair 😂

Tapping.
He tabs with a pen, with his fingers, with a spoon, literally anything he holds in his hand.
I've asked before if he taps his appendage.

This thread needs a trigger warning 🤣

My husband is lovely but my god he’s fucking annoying.

Washes and dries up and puts all the clean plates, cups, saucepans, utensils etc in rows on the worktop, like lines of soldiers going into battle.
I asked him why, he doesn't know.
I think it's "look at all the washing up I've done"
It annoys me so much I could sweep the whole lot onto the floor.

Mine doesn't live with me (thank goodness!) but yes to the beard trimming in a clean bathroom. I now don't clean the sink before he comes over, I do it when he's gone home so I can enjoy my sparkly sink 😁

Coming in and draping his jacket over the sofa rather than hanging it on the coat rack.

Putting recyclable stuff in the bin - I'm fed up with fishing stuff out to put it in the correct place.

After nearly six years, seemingly being incapable of making me a drinkable cup of tea.

Using condiments and seasoning irrationally.
e.g. Mindlessly chucking salt and pepper on every fucking thing before tasting it.

Never forgiven for the brown sauce on the fancy fish pie incident.

Performance washing-up 😁

That would annoy me too!

Mine does this too, including in nice restaurants - he reaches for the pepper before even trying the food, it’s become like an ingrained unconscious habit at this point!

Are we married to the same man? Mine does this and like you I just think….why? He will quite happily clean the whole kitchen, hoover and mop the floors, wipe all the work surfaces, even clean the bifold door. But then he loads the dishwasher and seemingly HAS to leave out a random spoon/cup/wine glass combo. He cannot explain why!

• doesn't listen properly ( the million times I tell him something is happening) then deniies all knowledge of something.
• Cups and plates etc on counter on top of dishwasher, not in it.
• Doesn't seem to get the basic idea that if washing on the line and it starts to rain to bring it in. He often works from home , I often put wash out early before I go to work ( not in winter).
• follows be around the house talking about cars, walking around car parks looking at exciting cars, collecting strange classic cars that break down. ( outing as I am well known for now refusing to go in any classic car with him).

-Socks next to but not in the washing basket.

• Took credit at parents evening for youngest ability at times table. He did absolutely nothing, that was my hard work and he even had criticised my method as being rather unconventional. Literally he sat there and said "WE had been very proactive in teaching it" . Damn cheeky of him.

Otherwise he is a lovely husband and father.

Does the washing up by hand (even though we have dishwasher which I like to use as it "hides" it all too) but always leaves the basin full of dirty water and there will just always be one or 2 things left in there and instead of being happy the washing up is done I just passive aggressively pour out the water and have to put said items in the perfectly working dishwasher.

He's generally very tidy but when he comes in everything gets left in different spots around house... shoes, wallet, hat and then can't find said things often. My keys are always in key box unless he's had them..

But he's the most wonderful dad and husband and just bought me a beautiful gift as I have been doing most of the night waking with baby (lack of sleep might also be a cause for the irrational rage)

Always leaves some liquid in the bottom of the bottle when he puts the milk bottle in the recycling.

I suspect he rinses it out first then just doesn't bother to empty it properly.

My DP has trained me to wash away the tea due to tea stains. I used to be guilty of this!

😱 This reminds me of a chilling book I read called "Into The Darkest Corner"
