My H does so many of the things in this thread.
He always asks me how long he should microwave something. And if I don't give him an exact amount of time, he gets mad. Like he thinks I'm withholding some secret microwave information from him. Dude, try 30 seconds, if it's not hot enough, add more time. It's not difficult.
I blame his learned helplessness on my MIL. She'd still wipe his ass for him if he asked her to.

Uses the last bit of soap in the shower and never replaces the bar. Always picks the worst time to start a big project. Is always in my way in the kitchen.
Oh I can add a new one tonight, courtesy of DH stomping around in a huff at this very moment. We both hate doing the litterbox. It's both our least favorite chore. So we each do it every other night, so that the hatred is split evenly. About every 3-4th turn DH gets a bug up his ass and says he won't do it. Excuses like "I'll do it tomorrow before work I promise", or "I'm too tired" or "ok I'll do it if you make coffee" (I don't drink coffee). No dude, you can't just skip out on our arrangement because you don't feel like it. And no, I'm not making coffee that I don't even drink, I have my own end-of-the-night shit to do. I just told him "it's your turn, just DO IT."
DH does so many of these things. I'm getting all BEC reading them. He will sometime put dirty stuff on the kitchen counter. Like HIS SHOES. Also, he makes pbj sandwiches directly on the counter. Doesn't wipe up after he's done. I go to sort the mail or fill out a form and suddenly in the dirtbag who got jelly on an important piece of paperwork.
He waits until the day we have people coming over to do some inane project. I am running around desperately cleaning the house, cooking, etc. and he's like "I'm going to go finish the trim on the back fence."
An hour before my kid's first birthday party he came home with a new interior door that he had to cut to fit or closet and hang. Kill kill kill.
We just had DD's first birthday party on saturday and H decided the morning of the party (started at noon) to totally unload and clean our garage- top to bottom, like down to dusting the cobwebs from the corners. I lost it.
ETA then when the first guests arrived (his family) he was still in the shower because he did not come in to clean up until ten minutes before the party started. wtf

So many things on this list my H does too and it annoys the shit out of me. Things like leaving clothes laying all over our room, or anywhere else all over the house. Leaving dirty utensils and/or dishes on the counter - literally right next to the sink, can never find stuff but then gets mad when I ask what are you looking for so you know, I can save him from tearing apart the house even further making it a mess? Oh, and I don't understand this at all but why is it that when he cooks stuff, it looks like a bomb went off in my kitchen?
The best though - after ALL of this, he has the balls to comment about how messy our house is and how embarrassed he was when someone like the plumber came over to give an estimate for some work we needed. Hey jerkwad - I'm only one person here and sorry, but it is not my job to clean up your shit. I already have one child to look after and she's 1. Put your big boy pants on, get the fuck out of the 'studio', and DO SOMETHING around here to help me.
Sorry for the rant, but he's been pissing me off a lot these days....even now for example - we are off this week - he wakes up and goes immediately into the basement, I mean, studio. After being down there ALL last night until 4am. Heh, has the balls to complain about our messy house....some days I really want to crotch punch him.
