What silly things irate you about your OH/ partner
Comments

- that he can't seem to find the washing basket, so I continually go around picking up clothes and putting them in the basket, then he'l moan and say "oh that wasn't dirty"
- 'rinsing'* his dishes but not putting them in the dishwasher.
*pouring water over them and leaving a little pool, so when I go to lift them I get soaked with the water and residue of whatever he's eaten last. Vile :eek:The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.0 -
mine leaves all the recycling on the side by the back door, it is about 2 steps to the back door where the recycling bin is just outside, how hard is it to open a door
he always tidys up while im cooking, and puts things away before i've even used them
tucks the quilt right under him so when i go to bed i have to have a tug of war just to keep warm.
Goes to the toilet in the middle of the night but when returning to bed flops back in like an elephant so it feels like i am almost being bounced out the other side and frightens the life out of me
will continually step over something the kids have dropped rather then pick it up, he is obviously seeing it as he is stepping over it.
Will never make a phone call , i have to do it
last one to leave the house, we are all sitting in the car waiting and he has to check the house at least 20 times , go to the loo at least 5 times before leaving and then gets in the car goes down the road and says he needs to go again
he does do all the washing up though( though he never wipes the cooker over when doing the sides) and makes up all the sandwiches every day0 -
He's searching the house for his specs, ranting and raving that someone has moved them until I point out they are on his head..
Love this thread

- Doesn't understand the concept of recycling - I end up with fag ends and cans in the food bin and food in the cans bin!
- Snores like an absolute steam train!
- Moans at me for being untidy during the week but at the weekend when his son is here its ok for me to do everything
- Whenever we have a row he can quite happily fall asleep on the sofa and I'll spend all night not being able to sleep thinking about it
- Moans about me not walking the dog in the mornings despite the fact he has the car and can get to work in 10 mins while I have to spend over an hour on public transport!

Leaves the lights on
Leaves the freezer open
Leaves the cooker on
He is banned from the kitchen
Gets sulky/gives frosty atmosphere when he doesn't like something, then cries and rants like a toddler.
Defensive
Interrupts me
Sits around like a wet weekend when people are having fun - a party pooper, won't let his hair down or join in
Is obese and won't do anything about it
Always tiredAn average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T:rotfl: :rotfl:

I mean its not like I've ever asked him where any of my clothes are, if I've misplaced them it wouldn't occur to me that my OH had moved them, or would know where they are.
Sock balls annoy me - is there some kind of special knack to managing to take your socks off in such a way that they make little sock balls every single time? When I take my socks off they don't form themselves into sock balls. Its a mystery.
Usually happens when you take your socks off with your feetboth me and the bf have a habit of doing it (i always thought i was the only one who did it
)

His inability to text and his amazing ability to lose his phone down the back of the sofa!! I lose count of the times i hear the wail of 'Babe.. ring my phone, I've lost it again' :rotfl:
We have a new Sky + box that takes a little while to come on, you just need to leave it a little while before putting it on and it will come on fine. However he insists on doing a series of complex moves involving the TV menu which he insists will bring it on. Er... yes... because he spends so long fiddling that yes, the box will have warmed up and come on!!!
His debit card scares himso on the rare occasions he uses it he will inevitably ask 'Can I pay by chip and pin' rather than the 'Do you take Visa' I've been trying to train him to say
He leaves a trail of socks all over the house. Me, I own about 200 pairs of socks, (dont judge me) which when taken out of the tumble dryer are neatly paired and put away. When they are dirty they are put in the washing pile and paired together to be put in the washing machine. He chucks his randomly into the machine and leaves trails of them everywhere and wonders why he never has any socks...
He falls asleep on the sofa at night and his snores rock the entire house, then he wakes up at 4/5am and comes to bed and wakes me up...
And the biggest, most annoying thing that really sets my teeth on edge...
We have no central heating but we have convector heaters in my computer room (spare bedroom) and the front room. When I have my heater on I close the door to my computer room and he knows this. He also knows I have a very precious signed, match worn rugby shirt hanging on the back of the door which I hang from the door frame when the door is closed. If I want to leave the room, I will lift the shirt from the door frame, open the door and hang it from the door until I close it.
He, however, without fail, despite being told on countless occasions he must knock before coming in or at least shout for me, he barges in every single time, knocking the shirt off and impaling it on the door handle. He apologises every time and says he wont do it again but he always does and it drives me mental!!!*The RK and FF fan club* #Family*Don’t Be Bitter- Glitter!* #LotsOfLove ‘Darling you’re my blood, you have my heartbeat’ Dad 20.02.200 -

I often fall asleep while reaching to turn off the bedside light. It used to annoy my ex as it could take her ages to fall asleep.One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.0 - he falls asleep really quickly if we'd had an argument at bedtime - while I lie there seething!

Simple to answer this one.
Pretty much everything he says and does!
I, on the other hand, am perfect.0
