What silly things irate you about your OH/ partner

CAN'T stop laughing at this, particularly the thought of the two of you sat together at dinner whilst he rushes through the last 5 minutes of it, terrified someone's going to pinch his potatoes hahahaha poor soul!! Hilarious :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

A couple of months a one of our suppliers took us for dinner in a very nice restaurant in London, the type place where the average meal costs £500 per head and there are politicians or famous people at many of the tables.

I love people watching and found myself watching a man at the next table. I couldn't believe how he ate, he piled every fork with as much food as he could then put it in his mouth. He didn't chew properly either, he chewed twice then swallowed and when he swallowed he lifted his head slightly and pushed his chin forward and you could see the lump of food bulging in his throat as it went down.

I watched him clear his plate from start to finish in less than 30 seconds. He couldn't possibly have tasted it and believe me it was worth tasting, everyone else was enjoying and savouring every mouthful. It wasn't as if he was in any sort of hurry, they were there when we arrived and were still there when we left.

I've never seen anything like it!

This thread is wonderful and a light hearted rant.....my turn!

He will:

He's another that leaves the loo seat up;
He will leave his plates etc on the kitchen top but to the left of the drainer not to the right of the sink (natural progression of dishes?) We do have a dishwasher and he's only recently started to load it but puts it on straight away and doesn't wait for the cheap tariff to come on.
Will bring a cup in or something and put it in the sink - it's usually the water left over from the morning when he washed his flask out
Comes in from work and dumps his bag anywhere and leaves his lunchbox and flask in it even if he's going to be off for two weeks!
If he has a beer, will leave the cans either in the kitchen on the work top or in the lounge
Sock balls and sock fluff is a way of life for him
He will pile his clothes up on the floor on his side of the bed - if I attempt to pick anything up ie a T Shirt and put it in the wash, he will say I've only worn that once and it's not dirty, however, if I leave it, it will appear in the washing at the weekend unworn but because it's all creased from where he left it
Will drink milk straight from the carton despite me telling him not to because of his germs
Does the exaggerated Aitchoo when he sneezes and doesn't put his hand over his mouth
Sleeps on my side of the bed so I am confined to the edge of the bed and he steals the quilt
He never does the bins for bin night - I think he's only done them twice in the 3 years that we have lived here
Leaves his shaving foam and razor out on the side of the sink when he's shaved and doesn't wash the sink out properly
Greets me with "What we doing for tea" as soon as I walk in the door - he finishes work way before me - I can guarantee that he walks in the door then goes straight on the pc
Doesn't acknowledge what I am saying so I have to repeat myself time and time again if we are having a discussion which then turns into an argument because of him

I could go on and on but I'm getting bored of writing down his irritating things and I'm sure i've missed out the major ones ha ha

I am not perfect either and know that I snore, don't tell him things which he thinks I should (ie going to the dr for a repeat prescription)

My OH does bin for bin night and expects a standing ovation for it:rotfl: he always mentions it:rotfl:

Jinx

I posted earlier but am actually liking my hubby more after some of the comments re others hubbies! lol

Mine too does the 'what are we having for dinner?' when I've been at work all day and hes not on shift as he doesnt cook. This is a double edged sword for him - I usually go, dunno - where are you taking me for dinner as Im NOT cooking...........

* Licks fingers when turning pages......yuk! If picked up on it denies ever doing it.

* Turns on light in every room he goes into no matter what the time of day.

* Never ever turns a light off.

* Leaves taps running in bathroom.

* Splashes water over wood floor in bathroom and never dries it.

* Leaves loo seat up....always.

* Never believes a word I say...always checks for himself.

* Falls asleep as soon as he sits down, no matter where he is, and then insists he is 'just resting his eyes'. I have a wonderful gallery of pics and videos of him snoring, mouth wide open that I am gonna present to him one day!

* Never ever puts anything away.

* Doesn't have a filter on his mouth - will tell complete strangers the most personal of things much to my embarassment.

* Scavenges the reduced shelf in the supermarket and then pays £30 for a bottle of wine!!



Think I'd better stop now.......:o

Leaves dirty catfood tins on my only available kitchen worktop (about 18 inches square) instead of rinsing them and putting them in the recycling, or at least dumping them in the sink to be dealt with later. Requests fall on deaf ears.

Puts the TV on with the specific intention of going to sleep on the sofa, while I'm stuck on my PC having to listen to endless Bond movies.

'Have we had any thoughts about dinner' when he's got in at least 3 hours before me. Sometimes he gets so engrossed in his computer stuff he forgets and only mentions this at 9pm, at which point I'm getting ready for bed.

Balls his used sweaty socks together so I have to pick them apart to go in the wash! Sorry but that's just gross!

Not so gross as if you accidently read those first few words in the wrong order! :rotfl:

yes, thats my OH (and my daughter to some extent) - how can a regular-sized person displace so much water getting out of the bath that they soak the bathmat, a towel or 2, and the bathroom floor, every single time??????

My OH sneezes so loud it's enough to wake the neighbours.

He snores so loud it's enough to wake the whole street.

Will sleep facing me with one arm up by his head, which when relaxed will ALWAYS come flying at me and hit me on the head. I have learnt to sleep out of arms reach :rotfl:

Will sniff his socks in the morning to see if he can get another days wear out of them. :cool:

When he makes something to eat, like toast, he can't stick to one worktop, oh nooooo, he has to leave crumbs on all of them :mad:

Sock fluff, yes he does that too.

Sticks his headphones on so when i want to talk to him i have to wave to get his attention. Then before i've finished the conversation he puts his headphones back on and then gets in a huff when i 'wave' to him again :rotfl:

Moans that i bought him 'the wrong cheese'. Would moan even more if i bought him none at all

I ask him to get me something (if i'm in the middle of doing something). He says ok but doesn't move. But as soon as i start to get up to get it myself he gets up and says 'I said i'll get it'.

Insists on setting the alarm for work at 4.45am but then doesn't get out of bed until 5.15am.

Comes in from work and says i'm just going to get changed. 5 minutes later he's asleep on the bed and i don't see him for the rest of the afternoon.

There are plently more but best to leave it at that :rotfl:

In fairness, i do things that annoy him as well :rotfl:

Another thing that irritates my DH is that I'll set the alarm for 6am and not get up til 8:30 - my intentions are good lol :rotfl: half an hour on snooze is nothing!
