What does your SO do that you can't stand?

[Laura+Tom 2]

"I just need to check something quickly on the computer..."

2 hours later....

OMG I can so relate to that. Tom has his own forum about Fords and is constantly on it.

Also;

The fact that he has to anounce that he's going to for a 'poo'. He does it deliberately to annoy me as I always go on at him about too much information.

When he pees with the door open.

He's stubborn when it comes to illness.

He goes looking for something and when he can't find it he over-dramatizes that it is lost, gone forever, he will never see it again! I ask him what he is looking for and when he last saw it and he will tell me, so I will go to where it was last seen. I will move the magazine he was reading to the side and there, underneath of the magazine, is the item 'lost and gone forever'. He consistently can't find things but never bothers to move anything - if it isn't right there on the surface (and sometimes even when it is - he isn't very observant) he can't find it and dramatizes the loss:-). I always find the lost item in a matter of a minute or two.

He throws away mail un-opened! I generally put his mail by his laptop and he looks at it then opens one or two items and tosses the rest on the kitchen table. He doesn't tell me which is garbage and which is for keeps then complains that the mail is piling up and tosses everything on the kitchen table into a garbage bag. I was appalled and went through it the first time retrieving bills we needed to pay and opening everything to make sure it is or isn't junk. I don't like to open mail addressed to anyone else but it has got to the point where I check and open every piece of mail now after he has tossed it on the table. I have retrieved from his 'waste can' donation receipts for income tax purposes; rebate cheques; important notices from the mortgage company about adjustments of the escrow fund, free coupons and bills. If he doesn't recognize it right away he assumes it is just someone sending him an application for a credit card, or advertisements or other type of junk. Even though I showed him what I retrieved, he still does this, so I still open up his mail after he has passed on it and file it in the appropriate places either for action or in the garbage. He has complained about being gypped in the past by not being sent rebate cheques or not being notified about changes to accounts and such, and I can't help wondering how much of that is because he just threw it away unopened.

It annoys me when my husband "repeats" things over and over......acting like he never said it before

[Delete Me 0]

I been reading all these postings, and I could add a few things. But I know I do annoying things myself and I am very glad to tolerate annoying things as opposed to living the rest of my life another. Or worste, back with my EX !

If she squeezes the toothpaste from the top I just squeeze it from the bottom when I use it no harm done. We have 2 computers in the same room so when I do my NFL football stuff online she chats.

I'm sure I do more annoying things to her than she does to me. To not have her in my life would be far more annoying than anything she does.

shopping with my husband is a nightmare also. he will try on a pair of jeans, or anything for that matter, and ask me do they look good, are u sure, do they fit right, are u sure, should i buy them, etc. then its off to the car section...which wax should i get, do u think its a good one, what about how do i make my tires shine, and he will stay and look at every product for hours if i would let him. its sooooo anoying.

My husband irritates the heck out of me when he does ablution for praying. My sink has water all over it and the mirror...I hate it! It's like he got in a splashing contest with himself.

He also picks up after only himself and not always does the best job of it. Like if he eats lunch by himself he will clean up his plate and put away the food but leave the crumbs on the table.

When he drives he refuses to speak, lol! He says he needs to concentrate on driving not on conversing.

When he can't say an English word he makes me say it like 500x slowly and I say that is correct after he repeats after me and he says no no no, its not. I think I would know if he said a word correctly.

Also, he drives me freaking crazy by not wanting to use the weed eater. It is so embarassing for him to be out there with shears at the fence line cutting away.

One more thing...I know I sound like I have been holding this in....he doesn't know how to cook....but he comes in the kitchen and starts putting spices in the food I'm cooking. That makes me feel crazy!!! LOL

The other day in my continuing and relentless pursuit of being a good husband I was giving my wife some laundry tips. I informed her that the cap on the fabric softener is purposely made large by the company that sells it so that you use more and end up buying more. She then informed me that whenever she washes clothes she fills up the cap 4 times so that the clothes smell better. I was wondering why we were buying so much fabric softener.

#######? 4 times? that's just insane. a fabric softener bottle for me last half a year, if not more.

How can you make it last that long?

She doesn't have to wash kids clothes....yet.
