What Trivial Thing Does Your Spouse/SO Do Wrong?

[Julie's Haircut]

My wife takes eggs out of the carton in an inappropriate manner. She starts at one end and works toward the other end, which results in an unbalanced carton. I constantly have to rearrange the eggs.

There are plenty of ways to remove eggs in an acceptable manner. Why does she insist on doing it incorrectly?

 

[PollyannaMom]

Same!

You have to keep the weight in the middle, or else it tips and falls out of your hands when you're grabbing eggs and several other things from the fridge, right?

I’m with your wife ...

He leaves the pan on the hot burner after he cooks his eggs in the morning. It drives me crazy! Who does that? Just move the pan over to the cool side of the stove like normal people do!

Says the name Eric incorrectly. Drives me crazy.

How else can you pronounce Eric??

 

[Mrs. Ciz]

Leaves cabinet doors and pantry doors open all the time. He had a closure problem!

He also adds an extra syllable to the word “athletic.” It’s 3 syllables, right? He adds an extra “a” - ath a le tic.

Uses a big burner for a small pan. Folds the towels wrong.

Everything, LOL!

Forgets dryer sheets in the dyer, I hate staticky socks!

Loading the dishwasher

He says it Ear-ick with a very distinguishable ear and ick sound.

He doesn't load the dishwasher right. I appreciate the fact that he does put things in it, but he stacks them any old way so sometimes things don't get washed because they are blocked by other things.

Loading the dishwasher

Yep....mine too
So Annoying!! LOL!!

No SO here, but I can tell you one thing my friend does that I just can't abide - he put his subwoofer on the bottom shelf of his TV stand instead of on the floor. It's not even a fancy media stand, just a cheap set of pressboard shelves under his wall-mounted TV. He also has a cracked front right channel, ran a 5.1 style setup without a center speaker until I bought him one for christmas, and jacks up the brigtness and motion smoothing on his TV. I hate watching movies at his house!

This is going to be a popular thread.

Mine steals my phone charging cords. No phone charger is safe when he's around; he will take it and lose it and you'll never see it again.

How long can a post really be???

Says the name Eric incorrectly. Drives me crazy.

Hah....I say the same about DH, but with the name Andrea (DD#2). He pronounces it "ann-dree-uh", and I pronounce it "Ahn-Dray-uh". He says we don't have enough money to pronounce it the way I do....

Also, the way he will talk through a show/movie (at home, not in theaters) and insert things. Like...well, let's just say, I now know more about Marvel comic book timelines than I ever really needed to know....during the shows.

He'd say (for me) my answers to "what do you want to eat?" or "are you hungry?"...If you've ever seen Gabriel Iglesias, he does a bit on how much easier it would be to be in a relationship without a woman, simply on the basis of these questions.... FTR, sometimes I really DON'T know if I'm really hungry or not (maybe just bored or thirsty??) and sometimes I really DON'T know what I want to eat until I hear some options..........

Um, he's doing you a service there. It's called education and knowledge of the Marvel Universe will serve you well in life.

Mine mispronounces a lot of things—especially names. DD17 was dating a Kyle for a while—he says Cal. Calls Governor Cuomo “Como”. Those are two off of the top of my head, but there are a lot. Kids are always correcting him.
