Anoying things your spouse/SO does that drive you nuts!

[Chicago526]

DH and I each do a thing that drives the other crazy.

I have a habit of not closing closet doors when I'm done geting stuff out/putting it away.

He has never turned a light off in his life. Ever.

He yelled at me the other day (not mad, just anoyed) when I left the linen closet door open (again) "Why can't you close a door? What's so freakin' hard about closing a door?"

I yelled back "Well, at lest MY bad habit doesn't cost us money! You've left the basement lights on for DAYS without being down there!"

Funny, he shut up about it right after I said that...

 

[Chilehead Too]

ummmm Breathe

 

[MamaLema]

This sounds petty but if me and DH ever divorce it will be because he is always picking the stray hairs on his chin...especially when he is watching TV. I don't know why I hate it so much but I do!

He always passes gas and never says excuse me and can't seem to put dishes in the sink, always on the counter.

 

[4cruisin]

I love my dh beyond measure but the man cannot for the life of him close a drawer all the way. He always leaves it sticking out at least a couple of inches. I think he's afraid he won't be able to open it again

 

[icebrat001]

A lot of things.

She doesn't know how to throw things away. She will put something right next to the trashcan but not in it.

When using the computer, she double clicks everything, some things only need 1 click. It drives me up the wall.

She doesn't cook, can't cook, so if we don't eat out and I cook she'll say oh, you should've added more ginger.

Just yesterday she said I was trying to torture her because we haven't gone out to eat in get this 7 whole days. She doesn't understand that I rather go shopping for our new house than go out to eat every other day.

She will baby the pets and then when the pets whine for attention she calls them spoiled and has the nerve to get an attitude.

Drinking straight out of the the fridge and then leaving it on the counter.

She will get undressed all over the house and the clothes end up everywhere. We have a several clothes hampers, why can't she put stuff in the hamper.

 

[CathrynRose]

If I point at something and my hand is anywhere near him (like in the car, perhaps) He growls and acts like he's going to bite it. It was funny the first few times, now I look at him like he's nuts.

 

[lulugirl]

The list is endless......

 

[Luv'sTink]

He moves sooooooo slowly! He is never in a hurry, even if we are late (because of him) I don't like to be late and never am on my own, I was raised not to be late. He is a procrastinator too! I still love him so much!

 

[munchkin bunchkin]

Every Friday morning between 6 & 7 am he calls to find out how much is in the check book( hello -look the night before please) so it has now become standard practice for me to look before he calls and instead of saying" hello"-I say" it's Friday and you have $$$ in there"

 

[hellokitty86]

One thing that my DH does that annoys me, is the second he gets home he strips down from his work clothes to his boxers and undershirt and leaves his shirt, tie and dress pants on the couch...UGH I hate that. Why cant he walk 10 steps to the laundry room and put it in the hamper??!!!!

And another thing- he will drink a can of soda, and when its empty he ALWAYS puts it in the sink. HELLO, the trash can is RIGHT THERE!!!!

Actually, he never puts any trash in the trash can. Always puts it on the stove. Weirdo.

But he is very good about putting the toilet seat down.

 

[AllyandJack]

If I get mad and turn my phone off, he leaves me the same exact message over and over again. "Hi, honey. When you get this message, give me a call and let me know what's going on. Love you." I know, it sounds sweet, but when you're sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for 2 hours and this person has been sitting at home for hours because their commute is simple and they have the nerve to tell you to just relax - hearing that message 50 times is very annoying.

He'll ask where something is....as he's walking toward it. "Where's the scissors?" By the time he says "scissors", he's holding them.

He denies it when he snores. He doesn't do it often, but when he does, it drives me crazy. He'll deny, first, that he's even sleeping. Then, I question him on what was just on TV - he can't answer because he was sleeping. Then, he denies the snoring. As if getting up every 20mns to tell him to stop snoring is fun for me. I go to bed that night plotting and set a silent alarm that only I can hear to wake me up every 20mns so I tap him and tell him to stop snoring. I'm evil.

He drinks the milk out of the cereal bowl. Out of the corner of my eye, in what seems like slow motion, I'll see him lift the bowl up and drink it. Honestly, I want to hit the bottom of it and spill it all over him. It makes me that mad. I don't know why.

He nitpicks at stupid things. I once told him a funny story I got out of Cosmo about this couple who used their leftover wedding cameras to take "honeymoon" photos of themselves. Well, the man's mother decided to be nice and take the cameras to be developed. She saw the dirty pictures. He is dead silent and says, "How did she get in their house?" Are you kidding me?!?

He's great though. I'm happy it's just these stupid things, but one of these days he will be wearing the milk. It might be when I'm 80, but it's going to happen.

 

[mrsv98]

I love my DH passionately, but when he takes his stinky socks off and leaves them on the floor IN FRONT OF the hamper, I want to smack him upside the head!

 

[Shugardrawers]

How much time you got? I'll just give you the highlights.

He HAS to debate everything. Even if he agrees with me he'll take the other side just to debate. I HATE debating.

He's a lousy driver and refuses to allow me to drive when we are together. When he nearly rear ends someone and I gasp he gets mad at me. He also doesn't pay attention. He'll be watching all the cars go by and not pay any attention to what's in front of him.

He licks me. It gives me the willies and I ask him not to but he keeps doing it because he thinks it's funny that it grosses me out.

He wont' take my word on anything. He always has to find out for himself. Last night I wanted classic cut croutons. Food Lion doesn't have them, only restaurant cut. He insisted we go to Food Lion and scour the store looking for them. Then we went to Harris Teeter, where I said we'd have to go in the first place

If I complain about a situation, say the clerk at the store was rude, he'll come back with the ridiculous scenario of what I should have done. Like I should have blown up the store or demand the manager give me her job because I can do it better. Stupid or unrealistic things like that.

He's extremely intelligent but he has no people skills whatsoever. He's very sweet to me but I don't know how most other people can stand him He's very arrogant and abrupt and down right rude frequently.

All that being said, he's very sweet, kind and loving to me. He treats me like a princess and it's obvious he adores me. He's very good to me.

I think we're married to the same guy!

Have you ever seen that episode of King of Queens where Carrie was driving and Doug said, "I wasn't criticizing your driving, I was letting you know that we were about to die."? That's me driving with DH. He says, "Fine, you drive." I say OK and he says, "Ya...." Ya what? Pull over! He never does.

I can't believe that everything you said is my DH - excpet for the licking. I get smacked everytime I bend over which is just as irritating.

 

[NMAmy]

It's funny, I was just thinking of this the other night. Actually, I was thinking, "You know, if I didn't love him so much, I'd just have to slap him silly some days!"

He insists on taking the trash out. How nice, you think? No, he will not take the trash out until there is no way on earth you could put one millimeter more of dust in it. I call it the trashcan game. I'll ask him to take out the trash. He'll come into the kitchen and stomp it down. "See how much room there is?" Yes, I'm a wastrel. Now if he should have to work late, I will never be able to remove the trash from the can without a winch. If I should be able to unwedge the trash from the can and he catches me carrying it outside, he'll chastise me, "Why didn't you call me? You shouldn't be doing that." I'm not some dainty thing--I was a single mom for years and I'm certainly capable of dragging the trash out. Particularly if the bag isn't stuffed too full.

He's an engineer. Which means I am always doing things inefficiently in his mind. He will reload the dishwasher because I loaded it "wrong." I'm the cook in the household--he will move items from one drawer to another because "it makes more sense there." Well, he's stopped that because I told him if he wants to be all efficient in the kitchen, then he can start doing the cooking. I hate doing three things at once, opening the drawer to grab something I need, and having it not be there.

But, I love him dearly and his good qualities FAR outride his bad ones. If these are the only things that annoy me, I figure I made a pretty good choice in DH.

Gosh Carla, I always thought Dh was an only child, apparently he has a twin I'll bet they'd hate each other but it would sure be fun to watch the irresistable force meet the immovable object

Isn't it funny how we still love someone who's so annoying? You just know other people are wondering what we see in our husbands and how we could possibly live with them. I wonder that myself sometimes

 

[musclecar_72]

She keeps opening her mouth and noise comes out, sounds like blah, blah, blah, blah!

 

[lindakmonty]

Oh, this thread is going to be good!

my dh also likes to debate, drives me nuts!

he leaves the toilet seat up!!!! At 3am and you're 1/2 asleep...that's just not funny!!

he thinks he has to talk to almost everyone...

and the most annoying thing of all, he tries to put his tongue in my ear to mess w/me. I hate that. That is just disgusting!!!

but he does 1000 things that I am so grateful for ... so, I'm not annoyed for long!

 

[preshi]

If my DH is eating next to me and I'm not eating, for some reason I fixate on every noise his mouth is making until I want to scream. It's really my problem but why can't he just chew quietly??

Also he take the clean laundry and sticks it on the couch for days if I dont touch it which means now, the cats slept on it, the kids have touched it and it's wrinkled! HELLO!!! Now I have to wash it all over!

:

WOW - seriously, the items I pasted above could be written about my guy.

The 2nd one - it's as if he doesnt get the point of the whole story ??? Thats how I always feel. Makes me wanna jab his eyeballs out.

Another thing he does - and OMG makes my blood begin to boil.... he'll walk in a room, when Im kinda dozin' off - like a Sunday afternoon on the couch.

"Baby?!?!" kinda loud... "you sleeping?!?!" UGHHHHH!
