    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."

    LOL...I love this. She's a lucky gal!

    He doesn't speak properly, using terms like "I knowed", which really drives me nuts because we are from Georgia so i feel like it reinforces that dumb southerner idea.

    He insists on sharing my beverages. Really, you can't get your own glass?

    He puts things down on the closest surface and just leaves it there. Actually, he even hands me things like I'm supposed to be his table.

    Drops his dirty clothes on the floor. Right next to the clothes hamper. Like, so close to it the dirty clothes are touching the outside of it. :/ Why? Why can't he just move his arm half an inch over and drop them IN the hamper? I'll never understand it.

    tells me how I feel and how he thinks I feel is evil and shady..if I am that bad why be with me? Also he calls me the b-word when he is mad at me for something he thinks I am feeling or doing, usually he is way off base
    leaves his shoes all over the floor of our home gym
    gets depressed easy
    reminds me every fight we have that he has NEVER cheated on me in 9 years as if that's his best quality ..it's not he has a lot more going one then he thinks

    Mine is:

    Doesn't ever pick up anything after himself.........EVER! Garbage from opening the mail, wrappers from the food he has eaten, plates,glasses, shoes, clothes, tools, empty cigarette packs (although he is quitting! yay!)........nothing that he touches ends up where it should. It is always found wherever he used it. Drives me crazy, especially if I have just cleaned the house!! (Then, of course, he wonders why I am so moody/grumpy.)

    Other than that, nothing.

    Not to be a 'Debbie downer' but.. Ahh.. I have a few but now that he has a terminal illness they are no longer a problem. I'll miss him when I won't see his empty pill bottles he leaves on the countertop for no reason other than being to lazy to toss them. I'll miss his tools being all over the place because he never put them back. I'll miss his dirty garage, his dirty truck, the dirty hunting clothes, the toothpaste in the sink. etc.

    Not a Debbie Downer....just a good reality check. I'm so sorry.

    We all have our faults and irritating quarks. I put up with my mans because he is gracious enough to put up with mine.

    Leaves cabinets open. Takes off his big old boots and will leave them anywhere...steel toed boots hurt flesh toes!

    He paces...he has ADD so he can not sit still so he will pace around..like there is an invisible line only he can see that he follows.

    I must say though...in the 10 years we have been together, I have not once had to wipe pee off the seat or put the seat down. Though I have walked in there and even though he DID flush, it looks like something exploded....is it the angle? The force? What makes it just STAY there?

    LMAO. It may be a combination of all 3, mixed with 'massive ****' that makes it look like theres some left behind. Lol.

    My biggest peeve lately is that my husband invites people over (or to come out on our boat with us) without consulting me first....it drives me NUTS!

    OMG, my guy does that too! He KNEW which nipple/ring/bottle goes with which. This by far aggrivated me. Maybe I am OCD because I like to match, and like things to match.

    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.

    Hahaha! My hubby does this all the time, but it's not really a pet peeve. His mom just calls me to make sure that he told me about up coming events / parties.

    The one thing that drives me crazy is when he asks for my opinion, but doesn't follow it. For example, he will ask me if he should do one thing or the other. I will say the one thing, and he will do the other. It can be as simple as what to wear or who to call, to big life decisions like job changes or large purchases.

    My son has also inherited this trait. Drives me nuts!! Don't ask for my opinion if you don't really want it! :noway:

    My husband always rushes me. He is so impatient. He throws his clothes everywhere. He doesn't make the bed when he gets up (he's the last one up because he stays up late playing xbox and whatever and sleeps late). Blows his nose in the shower. Gets the floor mat by the shower soaking wet because he doesn't dry off before getting out. When he has to sneeze and we are in the car, he sneezes on me, always! He thinks I need to answer to every cry that our kids make (they are 21 months and 3 years), even though I know they are fine. He doesn't care if our 3 year old (almost 4 year old) girl sees him naked. His breath always stinks. There is more, but I don't want to bore anyone.

    To all of you people who are complaining about what your partner does to peeve you off it's those little things that you're going to miss when they're gone. My husband isn't perfect. He does stuff that annoys me -- honestly, if the question was reversed I guarantee your SO's would have a laundry list a mile long of the stuff you do that annoy them! -- but in the end it's really not anything to get mad or upset over. I'd rather suck it up and deal with it then yell at him and get mad. I know that there will be a time in my life when I'm going to miss the trail of clothes that leads to where he's decided to plop his butt down, or the cabinets he leaves open after he's gotten a glass . . .

    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.

    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?

    My husband is wonderfully patient in giving me time to get ready to leave the house, but when I'm ready to go, he'll jump up to go to the bathroom before we leave the house. I'll say, "You had ALL THAT TIME while I was getting ready to go pee, but you waited until I was ready to go to jump up and do that!" I swear, I think he does it to make me wait for him, since he waits oh-so-patiently for me.

    I'd say that's pretty much my biggest pet peeve except when he interrupts me, which irritates me to no end. But overall he's a really good listener (I am a GREAT talker!), so I try not to make a big deal about it.

    Agreed - I joke that my husband is a saint because I know I am a total PITA. But I try not to let the little things bother me and laugh about them more than anything else, which I really think is the point of the post. All in all he's been an incredible husband so far and will do just about anything to make me happy, meanwhile I feel like I let him down all the time (totally self-imposed). I just feel like he is a better person than I am, but I try every day to do better :)

    im single at the minute, but my ex-gf had a realyl sarcastic sense of humour and it annoyed me at times! lol

    I have a pretty sarcastic sense of humor, but my dad is super sarcastic, so I learned young where and when sarcasm is/isn't appropriate. I use sarcasm often but only when I know it will be received well.

    Recent, inappropriate example from my dad: telling my 5-year-old niece that she smells and, when she takes it seriously and cries, instead of stepping back, apologizing, and explaining that he was kidding, picks on her for crying.

    Did I mention that I learned young when it is/isn't appropriate to be sarcastic?

    Somehow my mother has not learned in their 42+ year marriage how to take it or how to dish it back out (a skill I learned very, very young).

    That's funny....mine (I've never had a bf that did this) kneals on the floor and lifts the lid and flushes as he starts peeing.
    weird! He also leaves clean clothes in the basket for days so when he finally puts them away they're wrinkly. huh? And he takes his math sudoku puzzle book everywhere he goes so if he has to wait he has them to do. Math is fun he says. And at the end of the day when its time for bed he takes all his clothes off and throws them on the floor and claims its for his kitties to smell his smell and lay on them. Strange,but he's my adorable sweetheart and I love him so I overlook these strange things he does.:heart:

    Mine does that too, if I'm not ready sometimes he walks down the stairs before me. Geez and I'm a pretty low maintenance lady, I wonder what he'd do with a high maintanence lady. She wouldn't make the cut.

    I love how that there is no connotation that this post was meant for woman complaining about their husbands but it is listed as Petpeeves, what does YOUR Partner do ? And its like 12 pages of woman complaining about their men....

    I can tell you one thing that I absolutely love about my wife -

    She doesn't whine about things that I do on the internet.

    I love my wife.

    Mine gets bored with the arrangement of a room, so when I wake up on saturday mornings there's a good chance the bedroom or living room will be rearranged. He takes things I am using, furniture wise for my closet or whatever, and then uses them for himself. We've fought over a closet door before, lol :laugh:
