Petpeeves, what does YOUR partner do?

I just want to say that the problem with men leaving the toilet seat up is more about the way it looks. I just think walking into a bathroom and seeing the seat and lid up is disgusting. I have a bathroom right at the top of the stairs by the garage door so if the seat is up anyone coming in the garage door sees that. It's just nasty. Put it down! it really has nothing to do with this fallacy that I can't be bothered to put it down. Just respect the way I want my home to look.0

1. Never does the dishes (I've started washing mine as soon as I use them, so everything sitting in the sink is his and I'm justified refusing to touch it)
2. Doesn't work out at ALL but insists on commenting on what I should be doing with my fitness routine. (I run, lift weights at home and do Insanity/JM DVDs/Nike Training Club workouts, he just keeps saying I need to join a gym. I'm 117 lbs and do more pushups than him...wtf)
3. Hasn't cleaned once since we moved into our house this past spring and then complains to his mother about how dirty the house is. (I cleaned a bunch but now as I have told him his maid is on strike).0 -
Some defence and explanations, Gulp!! Here go's.........
1. The Science experiment in the sink is a two fold attack, one to weaken the burnt on stuff and two to weaken the partner to give in and Just do It!
2. Farting,,, Generally men don't like to hold these in, It is incredibly funny when he we do it but totally unacceptable when a lady does it! So remember and laugh when it occurs better still score him!
3. The stuff all over the house,, It's called Man Droppings.... we have to mark out our territory!
4. This is two fold as well, men are fascinated by peeing in to moving water,,,, it's just magic! Also, we are boys at heart and the toilet was a majot achievement, we had to progress from sitting down to standing up! we are really quite proud of this! By leaving a small amount in the bowl or by leaving the seat up,,, we just want acknowledgement.
5. We are all fantastic BBQ Chefs... No argument!
Any more queries I am happy to answer. Enjoy your man,,,

OMG LOL YOU JUST MADE ME CRY LAUGHING0 -
Mine leaves his working clothes on the floor, wherever he enters the house and will only pick them up on laundry day. He works hard and the clothes are too dirty to mix with our regular laundry and the nice bins I keep buying are probably too nice to use.
My solution: inviting his friends over for dinner. He is a proud man, the house will get quickly cleaned every time we have people over
He will also clean the bathroom and anywhere else they could snoop in. I only have to cook while he takes care of the rest. 0 -
the only thing I can complain about it my husband is ADDICTED to the computer game Old Republic. I can remember days when it would be 9:05 pm and he would be in bed, glasses off and out like a light 5 minutes later.
Now I am lucky if he comes to bed before 2AM!
I was so happy when I found out we had no internet this morning, that meant he couldn't play his game for 5 hours.
I think I am going to be rotten and get something set up with the cable company that we NEVER have internet on the weekends until after 7PM!
MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAH0 -
I thought I was alone!!
1: he leaves all the cabinet doors open..close it please! I've banged my head too many times while cooking!
2: he waits until he has no clothes at 9:30 at night to conveniently remember he needs to wash.
3: he never EVER replaced the toilet paper...why?! I don't care about the seat being up but please for the LOVE of god man, replace the TP!!!!
4: he has a bad habit of jiggling his leg, which drives me insane when it jiggles my damn desk
5: he never brings his water cups downstairs...I go for a cup and realize there are none...go upstairs and see about 10 on his nightstand
6: all that crap you take out of your pockets and put on the dresser or kitchen counter don't go there! Throw the trash away and put it in a neat pile!
7: he expects a thank you when he does some menial house work like sweeping...and has to point out that he swept. Why? Do I get a thank you for busting my *kitten* all day for cleaning? Uh, no.
Now all complaining aside, I married him anyway and we make do with each others quirks. Love him to pieces.
number 6: This annoys me too when he does it so I bought small nice looking baskets with lids attached (so he cannot lose them) and told him to empty his pockets and put his stuff in there. If we have visitors it still looks nice and I don't get to see the pile of random stuff everywhere. When I clean, I also put his stuff back in there so he knows where to look for it. I realized I cannot change his habits but I can modify them in a way that is the least annoying for me 0 -
He does way fewer annoying things than I do. For sure. I am a giant pain in his butt.
Which is why I learned to cook.
And put out. lol
LOL......So you became the perfect wife?:laugh:
I guess so. Unless you count all the annoying crap I do. And also that I am a terrible housekeeper. lol0 -
My sweetie is more woman than I am! He will nit-pick every item of clothing, every stray hair. The man is physically fit to a T and worries about how everything fits. I kinda miss manly men.... But I love him, lol0
-
Oh one more! He will take his dishes & drink into the kitchen, that's nice, but if its a soda can & a paper towel? That will be placed on the counter. The trash can is 3 FEET AWAY! Put them there! Lol0
-
In 20 years, my partner never ever admitted her mistake. Designed to be infallible!0
-
Stays up all night, then complains that the kids and I wake him up during the day.0
-
when my wife just doesnt try to figure out a problem on her own and thinks i am somehow the All Knowing, then she gets pissed, stomps off and figures it out, then feels dumb cause she could have done that in the first place but still holds a grudge because i didnt help her figure out her own problem and also when she does something and i try to explain the How To or the Not How To, she fires back defensively like im scolding her or something lol SMH0
-
He says he's gonna exercise with me and then flakes out. later comes home with a huge burrito after I just finished my JM shed and shred video and asks me if I want some... *sigh*0
-
OMG.. HE LEAVES THE TOILET SEAT UP...........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!!!
BET YOU LEAVE THE TOILET SEAT DOWN!
What a sad sad soul you are complaining about your man for pitiful things....... I hope he isnt on some site complainig that you are a whining person who has nothing more to do than be a complaining *****!
GAH!
For the RECORD, I have read him ALL of the things listed when we got home on Friday. He knows. And he laughed. He laughed because he KNOWS he does all these things. And he knows they can be irritating. He also knows that apparently other guys do the same things as him!!!! He has complaints about my faults too. I know what I do that irritates him. Thats why this is an OPEN forum, to COMPARE men/women to men/women and see how different people and their spouses are. You don't like it, YOU CAN FIND A DIFFERENT SUBJECT.
I cannot believe how close minded you have been.0 -
I'm in love with my woman and not much bothers me.... except one word answers to text messages that obviously require a little more explination. Guess I should just call haha!0
-
(Sorry wouldnt let me delete this, accidentally posted wrong thing)0

Keeps used tissues in his pocket!0

The worst thing is that she doesn't exist currently0

In the 21st century and the time of equality and men and women being able to perform the same tasks.....
I'm really surprised how many women here can't work a hinge (aka toilet seat), but we still let them vote :bigsmile:
oi. you know if some of these people don't have the same sense of humor as you (and i) do you're going to get reamed for this comment. lmao
Lmao. I too do enjoy humerous inputs. (I do know how to work the toilet seat hinge though, constantly putting it down because its left up heehee. I am afraid pretty soon I will loose this fight though when my son gets older and potty trained, oh well.)0 -
He will try to fart on my face, he picks his at his feet and nose hairs, snores, and chews with his mouth open!!!
Oh my gosh! Have you explained to him that farting on your face could give you pink eye! Lol. (Mine picks at his feet too! b/c they are dry. I bought him a bottle of mens lotion, he now uses on everything BUT his feet. Lol)0 -
So everytime he does I put an empty ice tray in the freezer. (one of his peeves)
Lol, oh man this is mine! He leaves ONE or TWO cubes in the tray and puts it back.0 -

You won't lose the fight! My son is 6 and puts the seat down every time.
He will make some girl very happy one day. Not only does he put the seat down on the toilet, he cleans his own room, puts away his own laundry, and loads the dishwasher... LOL 0 -

My husband and I are both sarcastic *kitten*... LOL maybe that's why we are good together. haha0 -

Lol, mine does that same thing with styrofoam cups from fountain drinks and cans except he puts them in the sink! Lol0 -
lol let's see here...
Leaves Toilet Seat Up
Doesnt shut the cupboards either
Leaves food still on his plate
Doesnt use the garbage, apparently the table is good enough.
Doesnt put stuff back in the fridge, Like bottle of Ketchup, or sour cream.
Leaves his shoes in the bathroom! We have a TINY bathroom, we dont need his big ole shoes in there!
Picks on me when I am Crabby!
but you know what, I still love him A LOT!!!! 0 -
Hee hee I have been guilty of this, like if i wipe my sons face, and were in wal-mart, i will stick it in my pocket.Keeps used tissues in his pocket!0 -
-his clothes never find the hamper
-he never puts the toilet seat down
-lays clothes on my couch even if they are smelly
-dawdles everywhere. I've seen turtles move faster
-is so friggin messy and is showing signs of becoming a hoarder
now what i do (and why I have to put up with the above):
-super moody
-obsessed with diet to point where i will ignore him because i need to log food or workout
-not give directions clearly
-say one thing and mean another
i figure if i can fix some of mine then i can ask him to fix some of his.0
