Most annoying thing spouse/SO does

[tlgoblue]

DH always gets sicker than me. No matter what the affliction, he always has it much worse than I. This means, of course, that even though I'm sick, I have to take care of him! Yup. That drives me nutsy!

One word...........farting. Pass the air freshener please!

 

[2bemarried]

these are great!! I ADORE my husband..and he's great at cleaning the house...but he NEVER runs the garage disposal after cramming stuff down it. Drives me when I run the water and smell the stinch coming up.

Why? If I know my wife knows exactly where something is, why wouldn't it make more sense for me to ask her rather than spend an hour looking for it?

Lewski, help me out with this. DW has never given me an explanation that I can understand. Notice I didn't say she hasn't given me a good explanation. Just not one I can understand.

If she wanted something she seldom uses (tape measure, sheet of sand paper, ice melt for the sidewalk, etc...) and I knew exactly where it was, I would be very happy to share what I know with her and spare her the frustration of searching the house for the item. DW is a wonderful, kind, intelligent woman. Why won't she help me out!

My husband leaves containers in the refrigerator with 2 drops left in them. Drives me nuts! I don't know why he won't finish whatever it is and throw it away.

My husband is a big soda drinker too. Diet Mountain Dew.
He will put his bottle or can in the refrigerator with just a swallow or less in.

I am constantly emptying out the cans cause he won't drink it, he says it get stale, duh.

My biggest pet peeve he has about me, "I put the garbage can in front of the door to be taken out". He said if I made that much effort, why don't I just proceed to take it to the garage."

Where should I start?

The thing is, my DH does this and he thinks I know where it is, all the time. I don't, so in order to find it I have to look too. I don't need it, he does. Why can't he look, just like I would have to?

Ummmm, comes home from work every day?

JK, my husband is mostly a great person. And we have been together for so long, nothing is really annoying. Either that or I am just ignorant of it.

manchurian, just go look. if you find it, you won't have to bother her at all.

How do you KNOW she knows? She may not always know. If you need something, look for it. I wouldn't ask where a specific tool was until I went out and looked in the garage, where the tools are. Most times, I have a general idea of where something is and I will look before asking. I believe you have an idea too and is just wanting me to get it for him.

Yeah, how much time do you have? How much bandwidth am I allowed?

I wouldn't be asking DW if I didn't think she knew. And if she doesn't know, it would take her 2 seconds to say, "I don't know where it is" (well, maybe 3). And then I'd go look for it.

Failing to see how this would be that annoying.

Well, gotta couple of hours? These are really dumb, but they drive me nuts.

1. The way he eats tortilla chips. The first bite is so loud that it actually startles me.

2. Speaking of food, when he goes to fill his plate, he grabs a piece of bread and ALWAYS has to take a bite before he comes over the table and sits down. (He can't wait two seconds?)

3. He usually goes to bed an hour or two before me. Why is it that when I go to bed, there is often a dutch oven waiting for me when I lift the covers? He couldn't do that an hour beforehand?

I doubt that he'll visit and read this, but just in case:

"Hi Honey. I love you!"

 

[manchurianbrownbear]

mus muris asinus,

I feel ya!

I'm not asking DW to join in the search. But if she knows where something is, why should I go on a scavenger hunt around the house?!?!

i'm not sure if this applies, but when my husband asks where something is, he usually wants me to go get it for him. i usually give him specific directions (it is in the 3rd drawer, to the left, behind the book); he'll quickly open the drawer and say"i can't find it"
that really irks me especially because it's in the exact location that i gave him.

 

[Lewski709]

Must be, since now we know of at least 3 people who can relate. It bothers me when I have to look for it, as I said I may have an idea of where it is which is probably the same general area you would think it's in, instead look there for it as you want it, not me. If you just moved into the house or do not live there normally, I wouldn't mind. However, am I the only one who puts things away and knows where things are? If so, there's a whole nother problem.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger, my DH understands when I say I'd have to look for it just the same way you would.

Again, I tend to look for something I need and I guess I would expect someone else to do the same, before asking.
