To start it off, here's a few of what MINE does.....

*He leaves the toilet seat UP!!

*When he opens a cupboard, he forgets how to shut it I guess!

*Flushes before he is done so OF COURSE theres pee in the toilet still.

Ready, Set, GO!!!

    Why do guys to the early flush thing?! Mine does it too, and of course there's pee bubbles. >:(
    Main thing is when he gets home, he just strips down to his boxers and dumps all the clothes on the floor IN THE LIVING ROOM. And he's ULTRA sweaty! (electrical warehouse worker). Then our cat starts hauling all his socks off to her hiding spots and I have to go and hunt them down. -_(\

    Doesn't give enough time to get ready- when he is ready to go do something he just grabs his keys and says let's go~ um...can I have a minute to get a drink~ and maybe my pocketbook? :ohwell:

    my man is pretty awesome, but the one thing he consistently does not do is screw lids & caps on tightly. sometimes they just rest on the bottle or jar. even if he puts it away.

    he also "lets things 'soak' " which is just manspeak for making a science experiment in the sink.

    but really, i can't complain. he's the best.

    He stomps all over the kitchen in his work boots and tracks dirt everywhere. I hve it on good authority that he ALWAYS removes his boots when entering his clients' homes (he's a contractor) so I'm not quite sure why it doesn't occur to him to take them off when he enters his own!!!!

    My husband takes his clothes off upstairs and throws them down to the next level where they will sit at the bottom of those stairs until I kick them into the basement!! Really just get undressed in the bedroom and throw them in the basement from there.

    We have a multi level house so there is 3 flights of stairs. oh and his socks are alwasy everywhere too.

    Lol. Mine doesn't undo his socks so I can wash them. (Youn know how they are halfway inside out, halfway not from them pulling them off).

    He thinks that just because his shirt/pants are already in the drawer, means they don't need to be folded.

    My hubby, as wonderful as he is, is always late. Everywhere, anywhere. He will dawdle along until we have 20 minutes to be somewhere and then he gets ready.

    My wife always looks awesome and it makes it hard to concentrate on what I should be doing. *Shakes fist* "Damn you, you incredibly beautiful woman."

    Mine works overnight sometimes - he'll throw his jeans/belt on the floor, then when i wake up on the middle of the night, i get to trip over them - my answer to that is to throw them down the hall. Then the cat sleeps on them and he gets to pick the cat hair off before putting them in the washer. :bigsmile:

    And he puts his trash...on TOP of the trashcan - i am tempted to put a big sign on the lid that says "this opens!"

    BAHAHAHA Ditto. Thats how my guy does the dishes. I ask him to do the dishes (since hes been laid off for 4 months) and I come home with a sink full of bleach water & dishes. He says they are soaking (EVEN THOUGH i rinse every dish before I put it in the sink). Really? The waters cold now. How long have you had them soaking?

    So I end up doing them. Lol.

    The early flush is fun because we like to piss into whirlpools. Remnant piss is to leave our mark, notifying others that we were there.

    The toilet seat is left up because there are complaints of pissing on the toilet seat. There's also no courtesy for us when we have to go, so we have to lift it ourselves. Seems like a fair trade.

    I am guilty of this :) But on a day that we are really running late (sometimes from me), halfway to our destination he says, Im gonna stop and get something to drink. Really? You cant wait till we get to our already late destination?

    Mine does this too!! He's in pest control so he's outside a lot. When he comes home, he'll strip to his boxers and throw his clothes on the bar stool! ugh...He mostly does this with his regular street clothes and just leave them there until he needs to wear them again. I've told him a million times, the bar area is not a closet. We have closet for a reason and that is where clothes should be! There are still clothes on the bar stools at all times.

    1. Leaves the toilet seat up
    2. Can't find the energy to wash dishes but has plenty of it to make a huge mess
    3. Can't pick up after himself (I have a 3yr old that does better most days)
    4. Complains/groans/moans about a head cold but tells me to suck it up if I have one
    5. He compliments me when I do the house work or yard work, but never jumps in to help, just watches

    My husband is known by my family and his own as the "Delay Fish". He's never ever EVER EVERRRR even remotely close to on time, unless I'm right behind him, forcing him to not get distracted.

    "Honey- I know there's a butterfly outside the window- but we're late, and you were going to shave before we leave, remember???"


    Although my biggest one is that he chews ice. C.A.N.T S.T.A.N.D I.T!!! :explode:

    The noise... aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That's anyone though, not just him. :wink:

    Mid conversation he will be talking about something I clearly have no idea about. And then says his famous words:

    "I told you about it!"

    Uh NO you just THOUGHT you did.

    Mine forgets to flush! Every time I walk into a bathroom and see the pee sitting in there, it makes my blood boil. He also doesn't pick up his clothes, dishes, etc. I'm the endentured slave that has to follow behind him, doing his bidding. And he does the eternal male thing- makes believe he's listening, but never heard a word I say. Then he will ask me to prepeat myself over and over.

    Thank God he has other qualities, or else I would have divorced him 28 years ago!

    ok, here are mine:

    1. leaves his dirty socks on the floor, now my 4yo son does it too

    2. never replaces the t-paper onto the holder, or paper towels for that matter

    3. does the "let soaking in the sink for days until it turns into a science experiment". And when he does load the dishwasher, it is usually full of clean dishes, so instead of empting it first he just adds to the clean and re-runs the diswasher

    I love my husband to death, but he is a man

    oh and he NEVER puts a garbage bag in the can after he takes the garbage out :o)

    1. Throws his clothes/things wherever when he walks in the house.
    2. Doesn't put the fcking seat down or sometimes won't put it up. WTF.
    3. Has NO SHAME farting when we're laying down and thinks it's hysterical.
    4. Chews on random things all the time, like pen caps etc...
    5. Always thinks he's right. Always. (He's not!)

    i adore my darling husband, hes the best man i've ever know... that said lol, he leaves his clothes all over the house. he changes like three times a day and will put his clothes near the hamper but never in the hamper... every time i go to do laundry i have to hunt all over the house for his clothes...

    but you know, if he wasnt around for any reason, i would miss picking up those clothes, because it means hes not here. that would be the worst thing. so picking up clothes is a small price to pay for such a wonderful man :)

    That is adorable!! And I would so agree with you :)) Another pet peeve of mine is that I wish he'd say 'I love you' more often.

    Is the table where your hat, wallet, and keys go as soon as you step in the door?

    I bought a hat wrack, and key rack and hung it IN the kitchen for this very thing.

    He forgets that women like to be thanked for things they do for their partner. This is big, I feel like appreciation is needed SOMETIMES.
