Put his already washed and folded (by me) laundry away in his closet. It sits in the basket until the next time I need to do laundry, at which point I put his clothes in a pile on his side of the bed.
Oh yes, this is my H too! Also, even when his basket is empty, he just shoves it in the corner of the closet and throws his dirty clothes on the closet floor. Our dog now uses his laundry pile to hide her rawhide bones.

My H will not zip his fly if he plans on hanging around the house. He's "just going to have to unzip it again next time he uses the bathroom". WTF how much effort does this take?? It is bad enough at home, but he frequently needs reminders to zip up if he is leaving the house. He is not a super lazy person in general, but this habit is out if control.
Every dish he touches needs to "soak." MOTHER FUCKER your sandwich plate doesn't need to soak. Your tupperware containers don't need to soak...just wash them with soap and water. Then I can't wash my things properly because his shit is "soaking" in the sink. All gross cold stagnant water He has gotten better about this since we've been married but he still does it more than I would like.
He also refuses to put twist ties back onto the bread bag. Just twists and tucks the end under.
He leaves the lights/radio on in the garage when he's not in there.
He leaves his whole fucking outfit draped on our dining room chairs. It is like his freaking closet. And his shoes and socks on the floor. And then it will pile up for days because I refuse to clean it up. OMGOMGOMGOMG
Putting a new roll of toilet paper on TOP of the empty roll in the holder. How much effort does it take to remove and throw away the empty roll? Too much apparently. WTF.

He takes the lint out of the lint trap and then sits it on top of the dryer. Every time I open the door to the laundry room there is a pile of lint, every single time. Throw it away! There isn't a magical lint fairy that will come and do it for you!
He used to be terrible at closing cabinets, but after I ended up with a black eye from running into one he has been better.
Makes a snack/meal and leaves ALL of the perishable food out. If I yell he acts all startled and sheepish about it. He legitimately forgets EVERY FUCKING TIME. How is that possible?

doesn't rinse the sink out after doing dishes. he just lets the water out and walks away, so it's a mess of food particles, soap bubble remnants, and grease.

Oh! And, when he says he will clean up after a meal, and 4 hours later everything is exactly the same as when I finished cooking. This seriously fills me with rage to the point that when I was on bed rest, he rearranged the furniture so I couldn't see into the kitchen from the living room. Apparently, that was easier than just cleaning up the damn kitchen in a timely manner,
Another one I've noticed recently is that he'll take the tags and clips off of his drycleaned clothes and just leave them on the dresser or floor instead of throwing them away. One more kid I have to pick up after...
Doesn't ever turn off a fucking light! Our house is constantly lit up like Christmas, and as soon as I turn one off I get "I was just about to go in there" Sure...
He can't find a thing and is incapable of actually looking. The worst offenders are for his shoes or anything in the kitchen. I know we moved - but its been like 6 weeks. Open a damn cabinet!
I hate to rag on the guy, he's a great father but there are things that he does that piss me off.
I've been with my husband for 10 years now....I still have to put the seat back down before I pee. He also has bad aim and doesn't clean up. I've gotten used to peeing with my feet wide apart. I'm so sick of marching him back into the bathroom and shoving a cleaning bottle into his hands. It's fucking nasty.
The boy doesn't clean up after himself, he leaves a trail of random clothing and dishes throughout the house. I'll find a lone sock on the kitchen counter for example. Why the fuck is a sock left in the kitchen, put it in the hamper.
When he brushes his teeth, he doesn't wash the sudsy toothpaste spit down the drain, just leaves it to cake to the sink....which I'm the one that cleans.
If he doesn't drink a full glass of milk, I've caught him pouring the rest back into the milk container...gross.
He leaves his toenails clipping on the coffee table and picks his nose while watching TV. I've gotten on him in the past about getting up and getting a tissue...don't flick it on the carpet.
If he actually does laundry, it consists of him washing a load, putting it in the dryer. Once it's dry, instead of folding and putting away, he just dumps the clean clothes in a pile to cool off and get permanently wrinkled. About 4-5 loads of cold laundry will be sitting on the bed, the guy can't fold a shirt....35 years old and he can't fold a shirt.
If I go out for a girls night out, I would expect the kids to be in bed at a decent hour. I come home at 11pm and both children are still up, one is in pajamas but hasn't brushed her teeth yet. Really? I get a night off and I come home and have to play mom?
See why I don't think too highly of my MIL's parenting advice? She did a fine job at giving her son guidance.
Lmao. I'm ALL of your husbands. This is hilarious.
I"m guilty of many of these, too.
The light one... that used to drive dh nuts about me. ANd might still, who knows. I like to feel like it's bright and cheery inside! I do turn it off later, but sometimes I leave all the lights on on the floor I'm using. Esp in winter when it's already so dark and crappy starting at 5pm.
Leaves half a cup of milk in the gallon and opens a new one (he doesn't like "old milk." What?).
Same with cereal. Leaves about half a bowl of cereal in the bottom of the box.
He has a hamper for his dirty clothes, but puts them on the floor in a giant pile next to the hamper. And then when I pick them up and put them in the hamper to vacuum or whatever, he tells me I'm messing with his system because they were sorted. WHAT?

after he showers, he leaves the wet towels on our bed and leaves the bed moist and the towel smells moldy when he does the landuary, he forgets to take out the clothes to put into the dryer, and days later he puts them in and they smell like mold (i do the laundry now..) he runs the dishwasher too early when there are hardly any dishes in there leaves soda cans around he brings his stinky sweaty clothes into our room and smells up the room i could go on ha
