Does your significant other have any strange habits?

[babiesX2]

My Dh folds up his garbage neatly before placing it gently into a trash can. An example: at a fast food restaurant he will neatly fold up his used paper napkins and all the rest of our's. He will neatly fold his hamburger wrapper. He will neatly flatten the empty french fry container making sure to flatten along the crease marks. He will stack the emptied ketchup packets neatly on top of one another. He will flatten his straw wrapper and fold it. The list goes on and on. He sometimes folds his garbage at home too. It reminds me of the Saturday Night Live skits from the 80's with Phil Hartman, The Anal Retentive Chef. He would wrap his peelings in foil, then place that in a ziploc bag and seal it, then put that in a brown paper sac and scotch tape it shut then put it in the trash can.

you mean OTHER than going to sleep with me?

 

[monkeyboy]

yes but none I can mention here

DH eats pizza only with a fork. Now, maybe that is more common than I think, but I was not raised that way

And he will not eat off a disposable plate - even if the rest of the family is, I have to give him a real plate. But he does wash them

I need to quantify something. When I say folding his garbage, I mean in the same way you would fold a letter to put in an envelope.

I guess I should share my strangest habit. Hmm, let's see, well, ummm, I can't think of any so I must be perfect!

The one that I notice all the time is if he's not quite sure his audience is interested in what he's saying, his hand starts patting his hair.

I pointed it out once and OH BOY did he get defensive. And he's not generally like that at all. So now I just watch the hand . . . .creep up to the head . . . and pat pat smooth pat. And I don't say a word.

fabumouse I'm just sitting here laughing picturing that one .

Hmmmmm. How can I pick just one. Well let's see. My husband will ask if I locked the door when I'm the last one out of the house. My yes is not good enough, he must go back and check the door. Now I just say yes but go check it anyway. You can see it takes everything in his power to not get out of the truck to go check the door. He has figured a way around this problem though. Now after our door talk, he realizes he has forgotten something. He will then go back into the house and come back out and lock the door. I have figured away around this problem too. I leave the back door unlocked !

All interesting habits -- patting hair when nervous, eating pizza with a fork, etc. I'm enjoying!

I forgot to mention that DH also folds his dirty clothes when he takes them off. It's like this -- remove jeans and fold; remove shirt and fold, put on top of folded dirty jeans; remove socks and fold then place on top of dirty shirt; remove boxers and fold neatly and place on top of stack; finally, place the neatly folded stack of dirty laundry in the hamper. I think it is funny, as you can see by my laughter. I'm not really on the floor laughing my butt off, but pretty darn close! I am thankful that he takes his socks off before his boxers. There is nothing more unsightly than a nude man in socks!

My dh makes this weird humming sound when he eats. It's like there's a big bee hovering over us at the dinner table.

My nephew used to do this when he was enjoying his food.

My DH does so many things... when he brushes his teeth he looks like a dog picking up a bone--you know, the way a dog picks it up and shakes it? He puts the toothbrush in his mouth and keeps the toothbrush still and moves his mouth back and forth. Not the whole time, just at first. Very funny to watch, though.

That will do for now.

DH rubs this one spot on his head when he reads. This is not serious...mind you...but he is a VORACIOUS reader. At this point and according to my calculations, he will be bald in that one spot within the year. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE WOULD SAY ABOUT ME.

My dh has the door lock issue too! He keeps breaking our doorknob because after he locks it he has to pull on it as hard as he can to make sure it is locked! He also asks me about 5000 times if I am sure that I unplugged the iron and my curling irons. I don't even use curling irons and I don't even remember the last time I ironed?!?!?!?!?

Probably my #1 pet peave weirdo thing he does though is the way he dries when he gets out of the shower! I think it takes him a half an hour. He dries every inch of his body with his towel until there is not one spot of water left. I mean between his fingers, between his toes, his right earlobe, left earlobe.......... I mean I get that you have to dry off, but is it really going to be then end of the world if you put your t-shirt on and there is a drop of water on your back?????

Like Matt Dillon in The Flamingo Kid. LOL

My husband has ANNOYING habits, don't know if they are strange though.

1. If he has a bowl of say, blueberries with whipped cream, he will scoop up blueberries on his spoon, shake his spoon so a few fall off, dip it into the whipped cream and then eat it. Every single spoonful: shake shake shake. Jeeeez! Just eat what's on your spoon and be done with it!

2. He clinks the salt and pepper shakers together twice before using them. Click click shake shake.
It bugged the heck out of me, the sad part is I started doing it to show him how annoying it is and now I do it a lot too!

3. This isn't strange, but he taps ALL the time. He plays the drums, so I know that's why but still that tapping can get you crazy at times..he drums the table most often.
OH and you know how people used to play the air guitar..he does air drumming. We'll be driving and all of a sudden he's flailing around for a second like he's playing along if there's a really good drum.. line..beat? Whatever.

I won't go into my own strange habits, because I have more than him1 LOL

My dh is a guy. enough said

 

[crazyme5kids]

I wish you all could see me! I'm ready to die I'm laughing so hard!

 

[Conservative Hippie]

My DH is a nuclear physicist...can you say weirdo??? He has many, many quirks, but this one is the weirdest...

He practices conversations to himself...moving his lips but not talking outloud to practice what he is going to say. He doesn't like to do business by phone--and that includes ordering pizza. Back to the talking to himself thing, sometimes we'll be talking and all of a sudden he'll go silent and move his lips, and I have to remind him to talk outloud.

 

[luvmydogs]

Like Matt Dillon in The Flamingo Kid. LOL...

OMG! I remember that now!!!

We have conversations like this:

While listening to some early morning Coast to Coast show on the radio. They have a number for East of The Rockies, a number for West of the Rockies, etc. They also have a "First Time Caller Line".

Me: How do they know the person is a first time caller? Anyone can say that just to get through faster.
DH: No, they can tell.
Me: How? Caller ID?
DH: No. If they're not a first time caller, they call whatever line there is for their geographical location.


While driving down Storrow Drive right after 4th of July.
Me: Wow. This road is a MESS! I'll bet the tourists loved this.
DH: No. The road was closed, so they had to walk.
Me: (screaming) MAYBE THEY GOT HERE A FEW DAYS EARLIER BEFORE THEY CLOSED STORROW DRIVE ON JULY 4TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is they type of conversation we have. After 4 years of marriage, I want to smack him every time he talks. Is that normal? He's a nice guy. Really. He'll do anything for me. Works hard. Takes care of me. Yet, when he opens his mouth, I want to stuff a sock in it and make him stop talking.
