-GRRR!

We have a hook that we hang our bathroom towels on to let them dry after taking a shower. MOST people would hang theirs from the middle, letting the towel drape on both sides. My boyfriend hangs his LONGWAYS from the END, driving me CRAZY, when in all actuality it probably makes better sense to the the towel dry more quickly. -It just looks funny and I'm tempted to change it every time. Sigh... Instead, I will choose to pick my battles! ;)

    >snicker<

    I understand. For me it's the way clean towels are folded. There's a very small "cupboard" space that the towels go in in my bathroom. There aren't any doors on this little area, so it's always visible. I have to have the towels folded once the long way, then folded horizontal in threes. It's then rolled once and stacked neatly in a little roll that looks like a tube. My ex used to fold them twice, once vertical and once horizontal and stuff them in the space next to my neat towels. Drove me nuts. I mentioned it to some women I used to work with and they all looked at me like I was nuts. "Well at least he's folding them" :huh: yea but......but....I'm anal about stuff like that!!! A very small thing, but I understand your irritation :)

    I am neat freak and he will not compromise. And by compromise I mean start being a neat freak like me so I don't go insane. Ok, so I don't expect that much but he NEVER wipes crumbs off the counters, leaves his beard hairs in the bathroom sink after shaving :sick: , leaves his mail and papers on the floor, on the microwave, and basically everywhere except the desk. Long story short, he is messy and it drives me batsh!t. He is lucky he has everything else going for him...mostly

    Always, always, always, leaves her keys in the door when she gets home first, leaves all the lights on everywhere, and If she has the radio on and leaves the house, she leaves the radio on. I'm sure her list woul dbe a lot bigger than mine!!

    His socks are EVERYWHERE. He just leaves them wherever he takes them off, he never takes them upstairs to the hamper. Same with his clothes, if he takes them off downstairs he leaves them on the stairs and doesn't bring them up. I'm like, you had to step over your clothes to go up the stairs to go to bed, how much harder would it have been to bend down and pick them up?

    well I no longer have a spouse but my daughter is home for the summer from college and she is forever leaving every single light on, leaving the front door wideeeeeee open when she leaves for her summer class (hello I am in bed alseep anyone could just walk in) , puts the dishes in the sink instead of putting away the clean dishes in the dishwasher and loading the dirty ones into it... would make too much sense. Overloads washing machine and it gets off balance or blows a power switch lol every time... sighs counts the days till she moves back on campus! lol

    Awww. LMAO.

    It's gotta be the snoring. Although, since we've been eating better it's not as bad as it once was -- we're talking full force tornado ripping through a balsa wood barn filled with rabid cows sorta loud snoring. I can survive the night in the same room with earplugs now.

    He still, however, does his sleep zombie impressions; "naaaaaaaaaaar, NAAAAAAAAR" which scares the everliving *kitten* out of me. Coupled with the sleep-wrestling moves like clothesline-to-the-t*ts sorta crap. *sigh* I'm really not so sure how "innocent" those things are... I'm thinking that's more a type of legal torture.

    *gives the knowing look about the towels*
    I think I've managed to train him on the correct way to fold the towels now. It used to be folded once vertically. HELLO, my dear numbnuts?! Thanks for making me re-fold when I want to hang it on the towel rail.

    ok so I will pinpoint one..

    Shoveling heaping forkfullsof food into his mouth, then proceeding to chew like a cow, then after our daughter scolds him for chewing with his mouth open, he tries to eat with it closed but he had shoveled so much damn food in there its newar impossible. I swear he is the only person in the world I can hear eating ice cream from a different room.

    I don't like the way he loads the dishwasher. I put all the forks together, all the knives together, etc. and line up the bowls and plates in an orderly fashion. He just sticks it all in willy-nilly. But I appreciate him loading it too much to really complain about it.

    lol hah this is a funny post... mainly because we are all complaining about them and I am sure they have a list just as long. lol

    My husband whistles really loud along with the music in the car when he doesn't know the words. It hurts my ears.
