    Ahh that reminds me lol She doesn't take distance between us in account during conversations. When she talks to me when we are face to face, she'll talk like I'm standing 15 feet away. Or, on the flipside, I will be 15 feet away, she'll talk to me facing AWAY from me in a low voice. Like how am I supposed to hear that?

    My husband's a neat-freak and it's borderline OCD and drives me crazy... why can't we just live a lazy, hoarding life with all our unopened packages and cats?!

    i just thought of the #1 thing i absolutely cannot stand..... when he opens his mail, leaves the junk in one pile, the EMPTY envelopes in another pile, and the mail he needs to keep for 30 years on the bar........ i got onto him once and threw everthing aways, so he decided to put his mail in MY drawers with my CLOTHES in them! soooo i put them on his pillow, he put them in my drawer, i put them under his pillow, he put them back in my drawer, so i threw those away too.

    Ouch. I get yelled at for that all the time. Especially on bike rides. Of course I tell him all the freaking time that he could hear me if, like me, he only put in one ear bud while we ride.
  • Beard hairs in the sink are soo gross, how can he not notice them in there, their EVERYWHERE! in and around the sink...yuck.

    Either Im really patient with recognizing things that are my problem moreso than his, or we've only been living together for 3 years so I haven't gotten sick of it yet.

    There are a ton of things that used to get to me because I'm obsessive about organizing and cleaning. Now, because I don't work and am at home almost all day every day, I just go ahead and move/clean things he's "messed up".
    I figure if I wasn't here he would leave those things exactly where they were until they needed to be somewhere else, so it's completely my problem that I don't think they go there.


    BUT! There's this noise he makes to clear his sinuses during allergy season that makes me absolutely want to stick a roto-rooter up his nose after about the 8th time he does it and then tries to hack the stuff up.

    He leaves his dirty clothes wherever he takes them off usually and he doesn't push his chair in when he gets up. He tends to procrastinate on things.

    But considering how amazing he is over all... They are a small price to pay.

    He doesn't like sweets and I have a major sweet tooth but when he gets a goody (like a piece of cake or a chocolate bunny) he will save it FOREVER in the fridge and won't let me eat it. It's like torture.
    He has horrible road rage...which he has since passed on to me.
    He has an annoying habit of always being right...about everything.
    He loves chess and talks about it constantly. I'm glad he has a hobby but I sometimes feel like I'm paying penance for so many years of telling my mom every detail of every episode of Saved By The Bell.

    Jan wants sex ALL the time.

    C'Mon already. Sometimes I just want to be held.
  • My bf folds his dirty socks up and I can't tell whether they are dirty or clean and sometimes I have to smell them to check. YUCK.

    The fact I have to practically be mean to him to get him to do things sometimes. If he says he'll do the dishes and then doesn't do them it basically comes down to: GO DO THE DAMN DISHES! or I get pissed off enough and do them myself. (Dishes, trash and litter box are his job.)

    Toilet seat up in the middle of the night. I'm pregnant now and if I fall in, it will be his death.

    Other then that, he's awesome and I love him muchly.

    She is a grammar nazi, and likes to "correct" me while I'm talking. Sometimes, I actually said the correct word and she misunderstood me. I'll stick to my math.

    She has a habit of asking a question and then doesn't listen to my answer. She will then re-ask the same question 2 minutes later. When I point this out, she will reply with, "yeah, but I wasn't listening." I have just decided I am going to start making up weird answers, just to see if she is listening.

    She loves to buy things, especially expensive things. I am frugal. We are graduate students and are going to be moving in 2 months, but I'm fighting a losing battle.

    She loves to put her cold hands and feet on me. Over the winter I returned the favor multiple times, which of course she didn't care for at all. Did this make her change her ways? no.

    I am a minimalist except my books and clothes/shoes. My house looks empty all the time.

    He throws his dirty clothes everywhere but the hamper. On the floor beside the hamper, on the floor in the living room, on the floor in the laundry room.

    Takes out the trash but never puts a new bag in. I guess I should be thankful he's taking out the trash at all, but omg this bugs me.
    Are we married to the same man? Lol

    This is funny.......I think we are all married to this man. haha

    I love my husband dearly but the ONE thing that gets my blood boiling is when I'm hungry and he is the one that is supposed to grill the meat and he waits til 7:15pm to do it. I would like to eat at 6:30 or 7 and most times we don't eat until 8. I think I'm just gonna start grilling. haha

    Breathe loud when I'm trying to sleep

    Super duper passive aggressive


    Also, constant humming, tapping, clicking... basically ALWAYS MAKING NOISE!!!! Then, when I beg him to SHUT UP because I am working he spends then next 20 minutes telling me how quiet he's going to be. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh, and hanging wet towels in the bedroom where they don't dry so after one use they smell like mildew.

    Sounds like we all three are bc these are my biggest complaints other than the fact that he is a sandblaster and comes in my clean house boots, dusty clothes, and all!!

    No spouse, but 3 daughters of aged 15, 17 & 20...

    Trash bag taken out, but no liner put in.
    Takes out the bag of trash, but LEAVES the empty pizza box lying RIGHT NEXT to the trash can it won't fit in. Or the empty milk jug.
    Rather than empty the dishwasher if there are only a few items left in it, load dirty dishes right in with the clean ones and run a new load.
    I have a shower rod hanging above the washer and dryer with HUNDREDS of hangars waiting to be used. I like to take clothes fresh and warm from the dryer and hang them immediately. But, the clothes that happen to be in the dryer when someone else wants to transfer a load from the washer end up in a basket, on the floor next to the machines and eventually a cat decides it's a good bed or someone inadvertantly kicks it over and the clothes end up on the floor and trodden upon and all have to be washed again.
    Lights left on everywhere.
    Last one to go to bed leaves the front door open.
    This is the MASTERPIECE though... We have two bathrooms. If their bathroom runs out of toilet paper and there is a roll ON THE DISPENSER in my bathroom but none to be found elsewhere, they TAKE MY ROLL.. and don't tell me we are out of paper until 5am when I go to use the roll I expected to be there.

    The only thing that really bugs me about my guy is the compliments he tosses out..."that was the best (insert whatever here) I have ever had"... "you always smell like roses and raspberries"... "you are so beautiful"... etc etc etc... I can appreciate a compliment now and then, but every day?? 3-4 times a day?? Every meal?? I KNOW that at times he has got to be sarcastic, but every time the compliment is delivered in the same tone of voice....so... is he being sarcastic all the time, some of the time, or none of the time?? I can't tell anymore.

    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

    Oh my god....my husband does this too!....I'll move the couch to vacuum and find almonds....that i know are from him...but he always denies it.

    He especially needs to think more before he talks...like walking into the kitchen and saying "Hun do we have bread?"

    My Response: "Did you check the BREAD BASKET?"

    Like look around first before asking me where stuff is...we've lived in our place for almost 3 years...NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!!

    My boyfriend always uses the pretty dish towels to wipe up spills on the counter. The other day he used them to wipe up RED WINE. He didn't understand why I was upset. *sigh* really bad stain spills are for PAPER TOWELS. Drying clean dishes and hands are for dishtowels! haha small thing but it does bug me.
    Also he does this really creepy thing where he makes this sound in his throat, he says he's scratching his throat. So annoying.
    doesn't rinse out the bathroom sink after he's done using mouthwash, so i come home and there's little blue specks and dye all over the sink.
    But I'm pretty messy, and he never complains (yet!), so I try to not let it bother me haha
