Fluff: weird things your spouses do (nothing serious, this is for fun)

[Mickey13]

After my wife eats, she won't soak the dishes. I constantly tell her to soak the dishes, especially if she eats cereal. That stuff hardens like cement.

So now, if she does not soak the dishes, I grab the dish/dishes and put it in her car.

Over the weekend I helped DBF and his kids make cookies. While we were cleaning up the kitchen, he was putting dry stuff away and I was loading the dishwasher, he left all of the cabinets open. The best part was I didn't know they were open until I stood up from the dishwasher and whacked my head so hard I about passed out. DBF about fell over laughing at me. Why do they do that? If you open it close it...its really simple.

Just wanted to add that DH is EXACTLY the same! "Oh I was supposed to turn there so I'll just turn at 60 miles an hour on two wheels and now I need to pass this truck so I'll wait until I'm 6 inches away and then go round." And the horn thing? Every driver on the road is out to get him! That person who cut him off totally did it on purpose, that person who honked their horn four blocks away was meant for me...he's a New Yorker, and maybe it comes from driving in the city up there but he is the WORST defensive driver!!!

lol, it MUST be a NY thing, cuz we are originally from NY too (upstate, though)

DH does this too. He is from MN but spent 3 years stationed at West Point in NY so that must be where he picked it up.

New Yorkers do use the horn. Unless you've driven in mid-town though, don't knock 'em. It's adventurous to say the least!

Mine...every morning as he is waking up he says "Time to make the doughnuts"

Not a big deal, but every morning for 22 years?!?! It is just driving me crazy!!!

Does anyone else have a food saver? I mean cleaning up after dinner is great but I find teaspoons of vegetables in HUGE Tupperware containers or an ounce of milk in the carton. Of course all containers are shoved to the back of the refrigerator where they will be excavated during the next cleaning or when I begin to wonder where all my containers are!

2. He flips the channels CONSTANTLY. Which I guess is a normal man thing, but he'll leave it on and even though I'm doing something else, I hear just enough for me to get intrigued and start watching and then-- SWITCH!
Like the news will be on and they'll tell a story about a crime and yada yada yada.."and the suspect has been caught..shockingly he was"-SWITCH!
Come on!
He says I didn't think you were watching..I said well I wasn't until I heard the story, how can you watch a whole story and then change channels right before the conclusion?? It drives me insane!

4. Thought of one more, he'll use the toaster oven and leave the door open when he's done.
I say why do you always leave the door open? He says, so it cools off.
WTH? It's an oven. Does it matter if the interior is warm? I don't finsih using the regular oven and leave the door open to cool it. weird.

My DH does the same thing with the remote & TV programs. Drives me insane.

I have to admit that I leave the oven door open after using it, but only in the winter. I let the heat "escape" into the house for a little extra warmth - not because the oven will cool faster.

My dh is incapable of putting the cap back on any type of bottle. He'll place it on top, then just leave it there without putting it on type. We constantly have bottles full of flat soda because he's poured a cup and not tightened the lid. Then one of the kids is sure to grab a bottle by it's top. The end up with the cap in their hand and soda all over the floor. He's also incapable of putting anything in the dishwasher. It's right next to the sink, but he piles everything in the sink. The other big thing is leaving everything in the house that runs on electrictiy turned on. He'll cut the tv on in the living room, walk into the bathroom and leave that light on, move to the bedroom and cut that tv and light on, while the ones in the living room are still on. Then he'll leave the house, leave the door open regardless of the weather, and the tv's and lights are all on. I can still hear my father's voice yelling "shut the door, I'm not heating the county" and "turn the light off, I'm not made of money". Drives dh crazy when I say the same things, and then he wonders why the electric bill is so high.

Is he still half asleep when he says it? I think that's funny.

My husband has an REM sleep disorder, so some of the things he can say upon waking up can be complete gems.

my DH will set the alarm before he needs it. I normally get up around 4:30 on my own without an alarm, so when he sets the alarm clock for 3:30 and then rolls over and say I am going back to sleep for an hour, I could break his neck!

Now, that would really annoy me. I am the type of person that sets the alarm for the last minute possible & get up as soon as it goes off. I'm not a "snoozer", so when that alarm goes off it means it's time to get up - not roll over. I'd never fall back to sleep again!
