What silly things irate you about your OH/ partner

I just shake my head in amazement sometimes at my OH (I bet she does the same at me - plus more:D), because she seems to do the opposite thing, hear the opposite to what I have said and say the opposite thing to what she means to say.
She somehow manages to put hot saucepan lids on a work surface upside down - with their handles towards the surface - and then she wonders why she gets burn't so much.
She has "killed" our last three kettles by constantly overfilling them.
She has ruined my best knives by using them to chop through lamb leg bones, rather than ask me to use the hacksaw.
I cannot bear to watch her when she is cutting anything in the kitchen - she kind of hacks at it, cuts towards her fingers, and leaves her fingers spread straight out when chopping things:eek:

I wouldn't swap her for anything though.

That's a hilarious picture

Thought of some more!!!!! He has polyps and If I don't go to bed first, I cant get to sleep for the noisy snoring. He also seems to think I'm the oracle, and can tell his the time films are playing, how much things cost, how old his dog was when it got neutered etc. Another one is when we are watching a film and he recognises a actor or actress, and says "What were they in?" to which i suggest what I think they have starred in, and when i get to the right film he says "Yeah I thought so!"
Bloody annoying, but Im sure I have one or two little things as well!!

If i'm ill, he's worse. :mad:

He calls me 'Wo' (abbreviation of woman).:mad::mad: The more it winds me up the more he does it.:(

Lol, my OH does that.. then goes one step further by looking the actor/actress up online and giving me a complete run down of everything they have ever starred in.

ah sock balls - grrrrrrr mine does that too and why do vests/pants have to be taken off inside out? ditto with the shoes and hanging clothes on the floor - bless him

LOL! Where do we start? Though I am sure my OH has a list of his own.

For me, it's the way that I am expected to carry on regardless, while he is working away. In the last two years, on three seperate occasions, I've ended up in hospital with the girls alongside. I dearly wish the girls had not seen me go through those allergic reactions. The eldest was really scared. She's now scared for me in situations that might trigger my allergy. And she should not be that wary!

I had to carry on with two broken ribs after I fell putting up the C'mas decs last year.

I'm sure my OH has complaints about us all being set in our routines. I try my hardest when he comes home to include him in everything we do. Though, bless him, he does try to side step the activities that require a lot of cleaning up.

Hes loud. At 7am its like a foghorn when he starts. If he doesnt after get up im fine leaving him in bed while i organise the kids on a school morning.
He doesnt have a whisper in him im sure.
He's a qualified chef so makes the biggest mess whilst cooking -erm theres no one to clean up after you in our kitchen. And he takes 45 mins to make a 20min tea
He breathes

WIRES!

How could I forget the wires, we have a binbag full of wires that has been with us now for 15yrs and has survived 4 house moves.

When I try and get rid I am told they will 'come in handy one day' !!!!!! when he needs a new wire he goes and buys one hence another binbag of wires being created.

Also wires on show in the living room, I purposely bought a unit that would hide all the wires and told pukkadad what my intention was, when he put it together, yes you guessed it all the wires were still on show!

Having talked to other females and males about this I have come to the conclusion that males LIKE wires on show it is some kind of status symbol!

Oh and broken electrical equipment our loft is awash with broken xbox's playstation's, pc's and stereo's.
We have a a huge completely obsolete not to mention broken stereo system up there, but because it cost £600 in 1997 he refuses to get rid!

Oh and the shed!
Apparently he 'needed' a shed, his gramp told him all men need a shed to escape to, well the trick would be escaping FROM the shed as he has filled it with all kinds of broken stuff, I gave him a set of shelves for it so he could sort it out and I watched him open the door and chuck the shelves in on top of the rubbish!

I could have so written this post myself! Hubby is an electrician and he likes gadgets and gizmos. The drawer under his side of the bed is full of spare leads and wires. The thing is the drawer is so heavy it drops slightly off his runners and its impossible to close it without taking the stuff out so a few months ago i went through these cables paring stuff off with the gadgets we have. We had 8 spare scart leads for a start so week by week, the excess or the stuff we no longer have the gizmos to go with the leads ive been chucking in the bin.

Christmas i was sure i was going to get rumbled as he had a new laptop and he bought a range extender for the wireless network and i was sure he would go in the drawer for something that was no longer there but he didnt.

However, he has blamed me for chucking a load of software cd's that i really havent touched.

Oh and sheds, hahaha thats another story in itself. He cant take stuff down the sheds (yes we have two) because they are full. Well try chucking the junk out i told him! He's got stuff in those sheds he will never ever use in a million years. Ive told him (and my son) that the house is not an extention of his shed!
