Odd things your spouse does.

[Marilyn. 340]

when my husband eats popcorn he basically inhales it like it is going to get taken way from him I noticed that he did the same thing with his pomegranate yesterday..lol I was eating it one or two at a time but he would take a whole mouthful

[Holly2234 66]

Actually it isn't proper to cross your knife and fork when you are done, you are supposed to lay them side by side in the 3-5 o'clock position. I think everyone knows that....

This is what i do. But not at 5 o'clock because im left handed and thats just wrong for me! Its 6 o'clock for me

No, I don't think everyone knows this.

lol I guess I don't eat in fancy places because here people just rumple up their napkin and throw it on the plate....I am the uncivilized USC

Im' with you.

Garbage on the plate says you're done!

my husband does this because he doesn't like cold popcorn.

He also stuffs like 100 sunflower seeds in his mount and breaks them one by one and spits out the shells.

I don't understand this.

Oh, goodness. I just figured that I had always seen people do it....

my husband does quirky things in his own country... i can only imagine what it will be like when we get to the states.

1. he puts hot sauce on everything. EVERYTHING.

2. he refuses to put his dirty clothes in the clothes bin without letting them "dry" first. no idea what this means... i've just kind of decided to humor this weird habit.

3. he rotates his clothes two or three times a day. as soon as we get home, he changes into his "house clothes", and when we go out he changes into his "outside clothes". i don't really see much of a difference between the two sets, honestly.

4. he hates when people touch his bellybutton. REALLY hates it.

5. unless someone is using it, he insists on having the bathroom door open at all times.

i'm sure he tells his friends what "weird" things i do, too

That pic on the left isnt quite the crossing we do. Almost

I think my husband is a defective Canadian.

He doesn't say anything like anyone up here does.

All of the typical words that they say differently, he says them just like me.

Even his parents talk like normal canadians.

So it makes no sense to me.

It's like my husband was raised in magic lala land away from every canadian up here.

The 3-5 position is for the wait staff. In a proper dining setting, the staff always serves from your left and removes plates from your right. By having the utensils lined up at the 3-5 position, the staff can place his/her thumb over the utensils as they pick up the plate, minimizing the chance of it making noise or falling off.

1. Smells everything. Like, not just food, but if she picks up something to examine, she's give it a quick smell first. I've seen her do it with everything from plastic cups to my passport. It's actually pretty cute.

2. Salts EVERYTHING. The first thing she looks for before sitting down to eat is the salt. If I say something tastes funny, she asks if there's salt on it. If I say no, she tells me to put salt on it lol.

3. She is 100% fluent in English, and you'd swear she was a native speaker if not for the accent, but she has sort of created her own little syntax for it for fun. She'll say, "me is," or, "you is," "I has," you has," etc. etc. Too numerous to count. You can tell when she's being serious, because whereas Moms bust out the middle name, she busts out the proper grammar lol. Three years of talking with her and I use it just as much as she does. I have accidentally used it elsewhere lol.

4. McDonald's. I have never seen a woman both love McDonald's so much and be able to put it away like a champ. We have been from Bulgaria to the Canary Islands and everywhere in between, and have eaten at McDonald's in each of those places. And she's tiny! She's 5'7" (1.7m) tall and around 110 lbs (50kg). Yet she can knock out a Big Mac, large order of fries, and large drink and still be hungry enough to start picking at my fries (or have another burger). I'm 5'10" (1.8m) and 185 lbs (84kg) and I can't even do it lol.

5. She loves to shoot but doesn't like guns. You want a noggin scratcher, there it is lol.

But of course, I wouldn't have it any other way. After all, I married her.

My fiancé puts his napkin on his plate all the time... I think this is so odd. Depends on coutries I guess. Doing this in france is just when it is paper napkin (never fabric napkin on the plate!!) and if it is a fast food restaurant.

Tiff stalks the refridgerator, cupboards, and medicine cabinet. The very second anything expires, she sends it to the garbage can post haste.

She absolutely must mop the granite floors daily, even if no one ever set foot on it that day.

If I pour a glass of water and drink a sip, leaving the glass on the countertop, it is poured out within 33 seconds, and the glass washed and put away. Having no evidence of ever being there...

If I leave an open letter laying around, it's in the garbage within an hour. No matter how important it is...

She must rearrange my desk daily, so that I can't locate anything.

She insists that I don't beat her up...(I'm kidding)

The most annoying thing that Tiff does......(drum roll).....She has become AMERICANIZED !!

Voila...

My husband doesn't have a stereotypical German accent. He has an accent for sure, but not is definitely not what you expect.

My husband is the exact same way. Refuses to have one in the house, but if my BIL offers to let him borrow one from his arsenal, he'll happily shoot the day away.

Yup, exactly. And she's a natural shot, too. First time out at the range with my .45, we put one of those Osama bin Laden targets about....twenty or thirty yards down the range; she put one, literally, right between the eyes, dead center. And she had never even shot a gun before that. It was quite insane lol.

Hubby talks in a low voice when he speaks in English ( he is a pretty soft spoken guy), but the moment he is on the phone or Skype to Italy... Switches to volume 812 million decibels! Like literally SCREAMING that they can hear him without an electronic connection... I am always like, what did you say, I can't hear you? But the moment he is on the line speaking Italian I have to tell him to stop shouting!

I think Albanians shout at each other too. Hubby always talks "normal" to me but get him and his family talking in Albanian and I start wondering are they arguing or what I've learned a few words but I say them soft. Completely makes my hubby melt.
