What Trivial Thing Does Your Spouse/SO Do Wrong?

[nene0182]

Oh he also cannot tell a story. He will start telling you a story and next thing you know it’s 20 mins later, you have no idea what he’s talking about anymore but for some reason you now know about some Joe guy who grew up across the street from his grandma and is now married to some random Jane person. At least he knows story telling is not one of his best qualities.

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.

That's how my husband did it. He crowded it so much and then put some things that blocked access to the water. When I had to rewash half the dishes one time I said "that's it" lol. Based on how he does his laundry (shoves it all in there) it's no surprise about the dishwasher. I also like to try and keep spoons with spoons, forks with forks, etc because putting them away is easier. He just places them haphazardly in there. But he benefits from me doing it all the time so he's not really complaining

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..........

Wait, you don’t pronounce your daughters name the same way????

Oh.. SO many things!!
He never stops talking or making noise of some kind. Literally, never! He is still working from home and is quite lonely, while I go to work and am talked at all day. What I wouldn’t give for 5 minutes of silence. Just 5 minutes! But the second I get home he talks so much that he doesn’t take a breath. And then when he yawns, you’d think he might stop making noise for a second, but you’d be wrong! He turns it into a Tarzan yell. Anyone within earshot must participate in his yawn.
He’s a truly wonderful person, but he just needs to shut up for a minute!!
I could go on an on, but that’s enough for now.

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

Loading the dishwasher

These two are my DH! And unloading the dishwasher. He claims he doesn't know where things go. Umm, you manage to find them each time to use? Today I asked him to unload the dishwasher while I was at work and I just spent the last 5 minutes putting things where they actually go. Part of me thinks that's entirely on purpose so I stop asking for his help.

This is me! And I own it. I'm terrible at being able to name what I want, but I'm excellent at vetoing suggestions as they come in

How does your daughter pronounce it?

 

[Bianca and Bernard]

nope.

And she'll answer to both, haha

Puts the toilet paper feeding from the bottom!! For those who say thats not wrong, the patent for toilet paper dispenser shows the roll with the paper feeding from the top

My DH places the drain plugs in the kitchen sink incorrectly. He puts them in straight on, in the hopes that they will not rotate themselves into the closed position and cause me to have to reach into a sink full of gross/hot water and unplug them (they always do!) I put them in a little crooked to let the water drain, but he says that this allows bits of food to get past. He is trying to wear me down on the issue but I'm not going to let him!

Lololol!! I ordered different drain plugs for this very reason!

Hmmm you may be on to something...

 

[VandVsmama]

Doesn't put his clothes in the laundry basket

Doesn't close the door to his office/man cave when he's on a work conference call, so I get to listen to his shout-talking at really loud volumes until I go and shut the door.

Never puts his wallet & car keys in the same spot. Then asks me where I put them when he can't find them.

Okay this is one of the main things my husband would say I do wrong and yup a lot like how your husband does it. Although I firmly maintain it's not that I'm poor at story telling it's that the way I talk naturally works with some people who also talk this way but doesn't work with mostly his family who are very straight to the point kind of people

I've shared this before but this is me:



My two best friends and my mom also talk like this with me so it's very normal and natural in that context but oh does it irk my husband. And yes for those on the DIS they likely recognize the above diagram as my writing style (and I'm cool with saying that).

My stories are like this! But mine is always

Start story....
oh wait, back up and let me add the backstory/context
start story again...

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!

The motion smoothing should be a criminal offense.

 

[DLgal]

He puts forks tines down in the dishwasher silverware basket.

He also leaves his shoes scattered randomly in the hallway rather than at least putting them near the wall, or in the corner or something (like on our actual shoe storage shelf).

This thread should be compiled into a coffee table book. Or a blog. Or both. So funny!

Ya know....I think if someone wrote a book on this I'm not sure what genre it would be found under at a bookstore. Horror? Science fiction? Comedy? Whatever?

Hmmm well it could be instructional like "How To" as in "1,000 ways to annoy your spouse/significant other" OR we could go dark and say "Reasons I became a murder...trust me it was justified honest!"

you could compromise and pronounce it the way I pronounce mine lol, its Ahn-Dree-uh.
