Most annoying thing spouse/SO does

[doxdogy]

The selective hearing gets worse over the years. They also tend to have a mind like a sieve. Drives my husband nuts, that I have a mind like a steel trap.

2. This ties in with #1....he has selective hearing. I have had whole 15 minute conversations with him about something, and even though I'm sitting RIGHT NEXT TO HIM, he literally didn't hear a word I said. This has caused quite a few different arguments because I HATE to repeat myself with anything.

Other than that, he's A-OK

DH: I'm going into the drug store for two things do you want anything?

Me: Yes. (I'm staying in car) Can you pick out a birthday card for my sister-in-law?

DH: Sure

Me (after he gets in car): So let me see the card.

DH: oops

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

DH (on cell phone): Hi honey. I'm just about to leave work do you need me to stop for anything?

Me (at home): Yes we're out of milk. Thanks.

1 hour later:

Me: Did you leave the milk in the car?

DH: What milk? Oh I forgot to pick it up.


These conversations usually happen about once a week. You'd think I'd learn after a while. At least he is kind enough to ask.

He loses things. He has lost our garage door opener and the checkbook. Has no clue where they are.

Constantly making noise, whistling or druming his fingers or something like that.

Snoring!!!! I think that says it all.

We are right on the Fishers / Noblesville line...

I haven't found the reservior yet! Where is it? We just moved here about two months ago!

This thread is cracking me up!!

My husband also likes to leave drinks in the fridge with less than a sip left! As I'm typing this he has a can op Pepsi, a bottle of Mountain Dew and Snapple with a tiny bit left in each! It drives me crazy!! I just reminded him of this and what does he do? He empties only ONE out!!! He swears he'll drink the others but I know I'll end up throwing them out.

My biggest pet peeve with him has to be the fact that he cannot find anything. He'll be looking for something, it's right there yet he still calls for me and says he can't find it!! He can't move stuff around to look for stuff either. I come over and in 2 seconds find what he was looking for for an hour!! All it takes is to move one item out of the way. We just laugh at it now because it is so ridiculous.

He also snores really loud but I've learned to just deal with it.

I guess I'm lucky because he does go to the bathroom to pass gas.

Whenever it's clean up the house day and every room is a wreck, DH can be found outside sweeping the alley or down in the basement mopping the concrete
What's wrong with the kitchen or dusting a shelf??!!
Also I can't stand when he sits next to me and picks at his toenails, it makes the most horrible noise.
I've pretty much gotten used to the snoring. There have been times that I've wanted to smother him with my pillow. When we stay at my In-laws the whole house practically vibrates between him, my FIL and my BIL.

 

[Kimickey]

Oh I forgot to mention snoring.

DH call the hogs home with his snoring.
Needless to say he spends alot of time on the couch. I'm a very light sleeper and the slightes snort will awake me. This is me in the morning

Ok I wasn't gonna post on this one because DH is a DISer BUT......I am having too much fun reading them so here are a some annoying things DH does....

In MY car (ok the family car) he has to have total control of the CD's so pretty soon I get into my car and all 6 are of DH's music. Or if by some chance one of my CD's is in there.....it will conveniently get turned down so he can talk....Why didn't he want to talk when his was on?????

Yes the farting thing is HORRIBLE. But then when I give him a dirty look he says "It wasn't me!"

And this one I guess he can't help too much but I hate, when he calls me from work and then puts me on hold...its ANNOYING.

I have the best husband in the world, I got very sick for 3 years, he was my rock, he never complained once! The only thing that does bother me is that when he sneeze, half of the earth moves........ He has actually scared the heck out of me! I am just crazy about my hubby....

 

[daughter_of_amid_chaos]

My boyfriend falls asleep on me ALL the time.
We can be watching a movie and i turn around and he is sleeping...It drives me nuts because you cant wake him up.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Marie does not forget anything. Well, nothing at least that she should forget. There are some things that I hear about ANNUALLY, they happened over 30 years ago. Let them go already, LOL.

 

[Trinity721]

I love my DH more than anything, but the man is lactose intolerant. This should not be a problem right? Well it is, if he still insists on drinking lattes and having ice cream... And then I (and anyone else around him) suffer because it doesn't sit well with his stomach. You do NOT want to be anywhere near my husband after he's had milk or dairy products

Other than that he is a great person.

Okay, I'm guilty of this one - but I don't want him to get up, I want him to answer me! It drives me crazy that my dh refuses to answer me when he is in a different room. He can hear me fine - but he won't answer because he thinks it's rude of me to talk to him from another room instead of coming in to him. Usually he's only about 10 - 15 feet away. Why the heck can't he just answer me?

OMGosh, my husband does the same exact thing. It's so irritating. He always call, "Honey, Honey?". AARRRGGG!!
LOL!

Welcome,

Go east down 116th street (or 126th) until you get to Brooks School Road and turn right. Takes you right to it near the Indianapolis Sailing Club and the Indianapolis Yacht Club (oxymorons if there every where). But it is a very nice lake.

If your in another room, I pretend I can't hear you. My DH quit doing that. I think it's rude to yell at me from another room. Come talk to me if you want to. The 10-15ft away is something different.

Here's another one that I've grown accustomed to in 18 years of marriage, but it used to annoy me. Listening to the radio to fall asleep at night. It has to be talk radio; no music, and it can't be related to sports. DW can listen to any topic in which she has absolutely no interest, but says she can't fall asleep if the topic is sports.

 

[Lewski709]

Can't explain and don't get that one. I can fall asleep to anything.

 

[Chattyaholic]

He chews tobacco and uses a beer bottle to spit in. Most of the time he does empty the bottle himself but occasionally it is still on the table the next morning so then I have to do it. I would leave it for him to take care of later, but I don't want the cat to knock it over, I would hate having to deal with the mess then!!!

I keep telling him he should quit. I've been able to lose almost 40 pounds, he should be able to quit chewing!! It's NASTY!!

DH NEVER helps around the house unless I absolutely through a major fit! Drives me nuts. With 2 DS's I do a load of laundry at least daily, along with loading the dishwasher & etc. I also take care of ALL of the yard work on the weekends. The only way I can get him to help out is to get really mad and start a big fight. His argument is that he does help out (maybe once a month he'll help put away laundry or load the dishwasher)

Did I mention that I work full time too? He works 4 10 hour days and often will work overtime too. If he's not working he's doing some sort of volunteer thing.

I think I'll just hire a yard service and a maid and have him pay for it! Oh that sounds like a great idea!!!
