Have you hoovered your shed yet?

Just some light hearted entertainment as it's bank holiday friday and the sun is shining...
Today I hung some clothes up to dry on a rotary line, only for my OH to re-arrange them.  On questioning OH about it, it was apparently down to 'inefficient use of pegs'.  :)
Which made me think... with this lock down, with most people more time in their hands than usual... there must be some 'annoying' habits have you discovered about your OH???  Please share!
Nitpickers united  :)

    My OH does this. Makes me laugh every time. Apparently my distribution wont maximise drying  :D

    I generally leave Oh to it now as if they can do a better job  ;)

    Hoovered my shed?
    My garden is so overgrown I cant even SEE my shed.
    However I have counted how many pairs of knickers I have, too estimate how long I can leave it till I next do a whites wash.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    We have been having a discussion every morning about what we hope to achieve each day, neatly split between what he will do & what I will do. Sometimes we don't see each other for hours unless one of us needs a 2nd pair of hands.
    I did spend an hour yesterday printing new labels for the spices, I made a bespoke spice rack the day before using an old cupboard as materials. My husband thinks I have a spices obsession

    I have to say that I did hoover my shed - About two weeks-in!
    However I have been spacing-out the jobs I needed doing around the house and garden, so I would make best use of the materials I had to hand and to give me something to do/plan my days but now I'm down to the last two of them.
    Only then will I start tackling the pile of un-dealt with paperwork that seems to build-up, the next recycling collection is the week after next, which is where most of it will end-up!
