What silly things irate you about your OH/ partner

Oh, and shoes are left in a neat row in the hallway, so why walk through the door, kick them off and leave them smack bang in the middle of the walkway for everyone to trip over?

Do you live with my OH? We have a small hall, so I bought a shoe rack to keep the shoes on. However, OH has a pathological inability to put his shoes on the rack. Around it, no problem. Under it, no problem. Strewn across the hall, no problem. Up the stairs, no problem. But on the rack? Nope. Drives me wild.

Oh, and mugs. Not only does he hoard them in his office, but EVERY time I have bought myself a nice new set of six mugs he has broken at least one of them within days. He never normally breaks anything but it's like he sees a new set of mugs and can't cope with the completeness of it.

well hubby has just demonstrated one bad habit - I'm not well have a horrid cough, as he has a bad memory I wrote him a note - supermarket/cheap chesty cough medicine (sugar free a bonus but not essential) and 2 or 3 packs of halls cough sweets.

He's come home with sugar free chesty cough medicine from boots (a tiny bottle that only has enough doses for 2.5 days and I hate to think how much it cost ) and 2 packs of airwaves chewing gum - not halls cough sweets.

So he has a bad memory, I write a note, he reads what he thinks the note says not what it actually says. grrrr

I feel your pain, kitschkitty! OH has gone to Asda but I stayed here because my rugby team are playing. He asked me to write him a shopping list which I did. I asked him to get me a can of deodorant but because of my sensitive skin I can only use one particular type (Soft and Gentle, and I only like the light blue one)

So I wrote on the list 'light blue coloured Soft and Gentle deodorant' (big can) He started getting all sarcastic and saying 'Would you like to tell me what you mean by light blue coloured, or..' as he does when he's being sarcastic, he clearly hadnt read the list properly as I motioned for him to hand the list and pointed out where I had clearly written 'Soft and Gentle deodorant' He stomped off in a huff after that as, like most men, he doesnt like being proved wrong :rotfl:

When he sneezes he makes this faux AT-Chooooooooooooooo noise, really drives me up the wall!

Bites on one nail constantly nibble nibble nibble.

If we're in conversation and I correct myself because I used the wrong word, he carries on as if I hadn't corrected myself and then tells me why I was wrong to have used that word (which is why I corrected myself in the first place)

If I say I'm going to plan a trip away he immediately starts to ask questions about it, (how long drive, how much to get in etc) and when I say I don't know yet, says well you've not found out much then have you?

Tells me I'm going deaf when I don't hear what he says as he's in the kitchen and I'm in the lounge and the radio is on in the dining room!

Saying that, the things on the other thread are more important.

I do all the shopping, but years ago he used to sometimes do it with me and occasionally on his own, well one day he & our (male) house mate were doing the shopping with the list I wrote for them. Now both of them know I love salt & vinegar crisps (rarely eat other flavours).

On the list were salt & vinegar crisps (written on one line)...

they came home with a bottle of vinegar, bag of salt & packet of plain crisps!

To this day hubby maintains it was a just a misunderstanding & that he doesn't have the creative thinking capacity to have done it deliberately as a joke! *sigh*

Never blows his nose, just sniffs it back.

YUCK!

Picks his nails.
Chews on plastic - he says he only chews on it, but I don't see it ever again.
Blaming his stinky trumps on junk food - don't bloody eat it then!
Steals the bed, has a go at me when he's asleep, steals the duvet then blames me
Sock fluff! However, I am the one who creates sock balls and then sorts them out.

if he's not sleep under the duvet he'll sleep on top of the duvet, meaning i have to wrestle it from underneath him to get my fair share.

what i call sex pesting- wakes up in the middle of night, gives me a passionate kiss and some fondling and clearly only wants one thing but then falls straight back to sleep

i don't think i've ever spoken to him on the phone and he's seemed interested in what i have to say

if he had his way, every night would be take aways for tea so it's hard to get him to say that he wants something i've cooked for tea.

the rule is, one cooks one washes up. nice and simple and even distrubtion. but what actually happens is i cook, he doesn't do the washing up so the next day i have to ask him before i cook to wash the things i need to cook with.

washes his hair over the bath then leaves the showerhead on the floor of the bath to get all scummy

gets angry when he's play fighting with the cat and the cat wins. yes he's scratched you. he's a cat.

claims to have a short term memory problem which means that he has an excuse for forgetting important things.

watches the tv/looks at the iPad when i'm saying important things and claims he's listening and will definitely remember.

checks his phone when we're out for a meal. just plain rude when there's only me and him

keeps coming up with hobbies he really wants to do and will definitely do for a long time so really worth the money that needs to be spent on them. he never blinking does and they're getting more and more bizarre.

if we're watching something he knows i've seen before, he'll ask me questions about what's about to be revealed. like if someone says 'well we need to go see derek' and it's obviously going to be in a few scenes we'll see derek, he'll still ask me who derek is.

anything subtle (or not so subtle) in a show or movie he needs explaining to him. last night i had to explain the ending to phantom of the opera to him. and the jokes in frasier usually go past him or he needs me to confirm them.

...i think mine is one of the longest and i've only been living with dh for five years, oh dear...

Just had a classic.

OH told me he is hungry (not in a very nice way either!!) So off I went to sort something out. Tried to be as quick as I can coz he moans a lot when hungry. By the time I finished, dished up and took it to his lap, he just put it down and did not really touch it. Errr what is the point????? If you are hungry and I made food, EAT it then.

Did ask him if what I was gonna cook would be ok and he said yes to it so what is the excuse???

Another one is I should know where his certain toiletries are but he cannot seem to find them when he wants/needs them. In my flat, all of our personal toiletries live under the sink in kitchen. He knows that since 6 years ago. Not hard to remember it I would have thought!!
