What's the most annoying thing your SO does?

[jeaniebueller]

Trying to get him to commit to anything is like nailing jello to a wall, so I always end up being cruise director. I'll ask him what his plans are for any given weekend and he won't decide until the last minute, then he gets pissed when I schedule plans for us.

[mainelyfoolish]

He leaves bits of food in the drain traps when he does the dishes. So gross. It's the one thing I nag about and it still doesn't change.

The hour long "bathroom break" while I watch the kids on weekends.

This morning I said we needed to leave for family photos in 10 minutes and he was like "oh good, I have plenty of time to go poop."

UNDER 10 MINUTES IS PLENTY OF TIME? I AM ON TO YOU, MISTER.

[holly116]

In his eternal need to be 15 minutes early everywhere, he'll shuffle the kids into the van and sit there twiddling his thumbs till I'm ready to go..

And then we'll get where ever it is and he'll have skipped over 99 of the 100 things necessary to leave the house, that I will have assumed he's done because, why else would he be sitting in the car doing NOTHING? But then he gets irritated if I double check and ask him if we have a clean diaper and a sippy cup etc. CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, DH.

Saying he doesn't have an opinion until after I make a decision, then questioning or expressing a negative opinion about what I picked.

This applies to scheduling trips home, making plans with friends, choosing a restaurant, choosing something for the house, etc, etc. To be fair, this got much better after I started telling him just how annoying it is.

He's cheap when it comes to himself.
He'll be dying of thirst on a roadtrip and won't stop for a Sprite because it's $1.39 he didn't really have to spend. So he'll just suffer until he finds a water fountain.

Really though..it just makes me feel guilt about my own shopping habits.

[bcarp30]

He could never commit a crime because he leaves a trail in whatever he does. Drawers and cabinets open, towel on the floor, crumbs on the counter. If he puts DD to bed he leaves her clothes in the hallway. Stuff like that. It drives me crazy and is probably the only really annoying thing he does so I figure I'm lucky. He does the dishes every night so I guess it balances out!

[walrus]

He insists that all his food is scorching or boiling hot. Then, he spoons/forks it up and blows on it before every bite. Except, he isn't blowing on his food, he is blowing on me across the table. Every single bite. Dude, learn how to direct your air stream or don't heat up your food so much. STOP BLOWING ON ME!

[Deleted]

Leaves dirty dishes in the sink over night (b/c the dish washer is running when he's done with them). I *hate* sticking my hands into dirty cold water in the morning to get them out! Would it kill him to just clean them by hand if the dish washer is full? That's what I do.

[bowies]

He cannot or will not take a good picture. He hates doing it and it shows.

He happily poses for photos though.

[noodleskooze]

He chews food. Lol

this was one mom's big complaints about her now-exH ... that he somehow manages to crunch foods that aren't crunchy

my "lighthearted complaint" about msniq used to be that there were bottles of nail polish everywhere, but that's been under control for several years now.

I can't think of anything. I guess the complaints I do have are not light-hearted? (wilted)

[ssmjlm]

holly116 are we sister wives? Because DH will be ready to walk out the door and when I say "did you check her diaper, pack snack, water cup?" Suddenly he's not ready to go anymore.

He used to be on the ball when she was a baby.

DH thinks bc he helps clean he's some sort of husband of the year and that gives him leeway to halfass the cleaning. He gets mad when I remind him to do the couch and under the cushions. GASP!

[namasteak]

He doesn't see clutter until the house is a disaster.

[ellipsis]

I don't believe he has EVER cleaned the dryer lint trap. EVER.

He cleans too goddam much. As in you can't leave a dish or cup out without him washing it and putting it away, even if there was food/drink on it and you weren't done.
Can't get up from the couch and blanket to go pee bc when you get back the blanket is folded. So annoying

My step-dad was exactly like this! It made a relaxing, refill your coffee cup kind of mornings with my mom difficult.

My H leaves paper towels and wrappers on the kitchen counters all the time. There's a perfectly accessible trash can nearby, but for some reason, there are always a few wads of paper towels littering the counter.

[luckyno7]

He's a perfectionist to a fault. So everything takes 3 times longer to do than any normal person. When it's done though it will be perfect.

[chickadee77]

In some kind of defense of whatever, people think I chew noisily and it's really my jaw clicking. It's always done this, and I don't notice until I start getting glares at restaurants. I can't control it!!!!

Not touching complaints tonight, light-hearted or otherwise. H is on my last nerve lately.

[Deleted]

When he says, "Look at this! What does this remind you of?" and waits....for me to get it. WTF. Just tell me right away, I don't feel like figuring it out."

Is that/he really annoying or am I just lazy?

[Blue Moon]

He snores and makes a weird whistling/puffing air sound if he's not snoring. I hate sleeping with him.

[carolinagirl831]

He is a clothes spreader. He lays his clothes out all over our bedroom instead of hanging back up or putting in laundry

[lolo]

He never wants to do anything or go anywhere.

[imojoebunny]

DH has been gone for more than a week. He scooped 5 poops, according to him today, and acted like a super hero. The thing is, the dog only poops 2X a day, there was no poop yesterday because I scooped it all yesterday (we don't have a big yard, and the dog mostly only poops on the concrete when it is raining, since he doesn't like wet, so it isn't like it would be easy to miss), when there was a break in the rain. Dog has only pooped once today. 5 poops to DH = one poop to me, dog moves when he poops.

[SallySparrow]

Reading this makes me realize that I am probably the annoying one. lol

He does leave lights on. It makes me insane.

[Deleted]

Snores. Most irritating thing EVER.

[meij]

He can not just sit and do nothing. Every weekend he's all antsy about what we're going to do. Even before kids it was never just hang out and watch TV.

This weekend he dug out our front landscape things, went and got two loads of rock, put rock everywhere, mowed the lawn, did six loads of laundry and cooked a chicken.

Once he retires I think we're going to have to live in seperate houses.

[eddy]

He will have all the time in the world and get in the shower10 minutes before we need to leave. Then he sill have to poop and iron a shirt. He is terrible with time management.

And if I ask him when he is going go get ready I am accused of geing naggy.

[redheadbaker]

OMG, the SNORING.
