I saw this very fun thread
http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/just-for-fun-i-love-my-fiance-but
and i was wondering, what things about you drives your FI/DH nuts?
DH hates when i eat right beside him, because he hates the sound of chewing
@Anamagana: mine hates the way i chew, too.
he also hates if i touch the cat and don't wash my hands for a solid 30 second before touching him. THE CAT IS CLEANER THAN HE IS!!! grrr.
DH hates it when I ask him if he's angry with me just because he's being quiet. He rarely gets upset with me or upset over most things in general, but when he's tired, he gets really really quiet. So I ask him what's wrong and I don't take "I'm just tired" for an answer. he says if I don't stop asking what's wrong then there will really be something wrong lol.
@Anamagana: My SO dislikes that for some reason when i sleep i am the "destroyer of covers", the sheet usually ends up in a ball on the floor and the comforter ends up on him or on my head....no clue why or how, im just talented like that....
I also drive him nuts because when i am in school i take OVER literally half the living room for the whole semester....its all organized in piles, but my crap takes over and i dont put my books on the book shelf....
minor stuff i know but after 5.5 years you think it would have driven him mad by this point.....
I can be a ditz sometimes. I'm usually not, but sometimes it'll just be one of those days and everything just flies over my head. He hates it.
Mr. 99 hates several things I do, they are as follows:
Not putting laundry away, instead living out of the laundry basket downstairs in the hall.
Leaving a piece of paper or a flyer on the upstairs table, it will be thrown away after a three day "waiting period"
Leaving the television on when I'm not in the room watching it.
Locking doors when I close them, even if he's out working in the yard!
Leaving a pile of coats on the sofa
Making blanket forts in the basement and falling asleep in them when he's not home, he says I look tragic all curled up in there with the dogs and it makes him feel like an asshole for staying out late...I just like blanket forts, OK?
@MissBoPeep: mine too! i shed like there is no tomorrow.....its super long and really dark reddish brown....and his is short and sandy blonde, soo no question as to whose it is....im just glad he loves me enough to clean my "hair balls" (his words) out of the shower drain....
FH is not a fan of my cleaning skills. Growing up I only had a few responsibilities as far as cleaning went in my house. After moving out it was easier to just let things go a little because either my roommate would clean up or if I couldn't sleep I would clean. Now that I live with FH, it's tough because while he's more organized than I am, we both get slack with chores but FH will have random days where he wants to clean everything, and it's always on a day when I have 400 other things going on, so I can't help much. He gets frustrated, I get frustrated... everyone is unhappy.
FH also hates the fact that my hair ends up on everything he owns.
FH also doesn't like the fact that I actually need 8 to 9 hours of sleep to function. He thinks if we go to bed at midnight, I should be waking up at 5 when he does, and that's just not happening.
Fun!
- Hanging towels on doorknobs instead on the hooks in the bathroom (I've gotten a lot better at this!)
- Don't eat meals then later say that I'm starving
- Take forever to get ready to leave the house - I'm not even primping myself, I just wander around and forget what I'm doing.
- Put random food items in the cart when we're grocery shopping ("babe, did we really need 3 boxes of popsicles/more ground beef/mini cupcakes?")
@autumnmountainbride: I take forever to leave, and I'm seriously a no-fuss dresser. I'm almost exclusively jeans and a t-shirt, but I get distracted! He tells me to quit stalling. I don't do it on purpose!
I leave cabinet doors open.
I never ever put my car keys or my debit card away, and then I always complain when I can't find them. (I don't even know why I do this, I make myself crazy).
I always forget to put the dustbuster back in the charger. I leave it everywhere.
I also hog the covers, and mess up the bed, and never remember to hang up my towel.
He is by FAR less annoying than me.
That I am messy. I had a crazy neat freak mom growing up, and I rebelled accordingly. His childhood was the exact opposite, so he hates clutter. I tend to be a packrat, too, so that doesn't help :P
He still loves me though!
@Quietserenity: Exactly! I'm not doing it on purpose... I just have the attention span of a goldfish!
I used to do the same thing with car keys... until he put a hook right at the door. Everytime I would walk in, he would say "Hi baby, how was work? Hang your keys!" since they'd still be in my hand. After about a month, I started doing it automatically and he stopped saying it. :P
I think our habits are about equally annoying, but very different. We compliment each other.
These are things that he complains about:
I refuse to eat breakfast,his favorite meal of the day.
I never go down on him :-) I mean I do...just rarely.
I used to dress a lot more scandalously, now I am way more conservative. He wishes I wore shorter skirts, higher heels and lower necklines.
On that note, I don't wear makeup. Which sometimes bothers him.
The thing is I used to dress that way and wear makeUp when we lived in the city.we now live on a farm!! Gimmeee a break!
I put on my pajamas as soooon as I am home and I know i am not leaving for the rest of the day.
I take hour longbubble baths daily.
I am going deaf (i have Meneires, so literally) and I insist everything be turned up LOUDLY.
I sigh a lot. Without realizing it.
I must make sure the doors are locked at LEAST3 times, OCD.
I scream BLOOOODY MURDER if hecomes out of nowhere and scares me. He doesn't have to be trying to scare me, he just does and I SCREAM!
i clean too much, espically when people are over i always pick up after them. & probably that i dont put out enough.
@MissBoPeep: Mine too! I forgot about that. He's constantly pulling my hairs from the most bizarre places.
my hair getting everywhere.
being a worry wart.
grinding my teeth in my sleep.i hate the mouthguard.
He hates when I bite my nails, and I think it annoys him a bit that I'm way more worried about things being kept clean/picked up, except he's finally starting acknowledging how much he likes it that our house is always clean, he's just not used to living somewhere where that is a priority. I'm also just generally more high strung than he is about things, and I think that makes him a bit crazy sometimes.
He's also worried I'll be a stressy mess when I'm pregnant, and has taken to calling me "Helicopter Neetch" whenever we talk about child raising and how overprotective it appears I'll be. I'm just generally a more anxious person than he is, but I think in general we handle each other pretty well.
Apparently I sleep all the time haha.
Also I have a really bad habit of piling things. I like piles, I know what's in my piles, and I can keep myself organized by my piles. But he hates it. He's always coming in and moving my piles around and it makes me sad that I have to make them again!
My hair goes everywhere too!
I'm kinda a slob, and leave dishes on the counter instead of putting them in the dishwasher (in my defense, the dishwasher is often clean, and then I'd have to put the dishes away! The horror!)
I'm sarcastic and say things jokingly too much... This bugs him a lot, because he'll ask a serious question and I'll say "no" quickly before thinking about it. Like "Can you pass me a napkin?" "NO." I'm trying to stop!
I'm terrible at laundry. I'm not allowed to wash his clothes (a self-imposed rule, because I don't want to hear about how I did them wrong) because I mix colors and whites and don't really care too much. He, on the other hand, turns his jeans inside out, separates loads, uses the delicate cycle for certain things... So much effort!
I am quite a bit messier than he is. I never put clean clothes away right away, they always sit in a neat (sorta) pile next to the bed until I get the motivation to put them away...
I don't sort through mail immediately. Also sits in a pile until I feel like dealing with it.
I steal the covers. Guilty as charged :)
I'm afraid of giant spiders.
I leave my school stuff out.
I steal all the covers.
I never feed the dogs or let them outside. To be fair, he isnup and hour before me and comes home a few hours before me too!
I buy too many fruits/veggies and they go bad before we can eat them all
I like to think of far-off future scenarios and then issue ultimatums before said situation has even arrived, getting hella mad in the process
I take too long to get out of the house. I don't know why it takes so long to go somewhere but it does!
There are quite a few things I do that drive him totally bat shit. I don't know why I can't change them haha
I guess I'm ultra annoying. But he still married me, so... 
@takemyhand: I am TERRIFIED of giant spiders. I was taking a shower the other day and there was this huge prehistoric looking monster on the bathroom window screen. I freaked out, shut the window, texted him and told him he had to kill it before I got home--or I wasn't coming home.
I snore.
I need him to repeat himself pretty often. He mumbles. He acts as though I do this on purpose.
We both work full time and have two kids, so I have a cleaning lady come every two weeks. He teases me about this.
I like to chew gum sometimes and he hates it.
He shushes me a lot. I can be pretty loud and animated.
I don't always balance the checkbook correctly. My bad.
I keep the thermostat set lower than he likes. Because I am normal and like comfort.
When I serve him dinner my portions are too large and he has to remind me that he isn't a truck driver.
I hit snooze twice and this really irks him. And wakes him up.
That I love yoga pants/hoodies/generally unattractive clothes (and wear them all but maybe 4 hours/week.... haha)
I'm scatterbrained in a way that drives him nuts (leaving clutter everywhere, forgetting that I put a dish in the sink and meant to come back to it, telling him something when he was the one who told me in the first place, etc etc).
Also, I've fixed this, but I used to sleep diagonally across the bed, so there was no room for his feet. He used to roll the blankets up around himself and then lay on them so that I couldn't get any, though, so we were about even on the "annoying each other while sleeping" front.
I'm sure FI dislikes how sarcastic I can be toward him. And I nag him to clean, but he told me to! I'm impatient.
* How messy I am
* How much I talk
* Everytime I get in the bed I screw up the sheets
* I ask A LOT of questions
* When I chew my food by him
This just shows how well we know our men!
I feel like we are all pretty messy chicas! And most of us have the same "annoying" habits. I love this board!
Lol i forgot some...
I grind my teeth at night
I steal the covers somehow
He would like to listen to me more... im VERY quiet, i dont even know why, i just feel like i have nothing interesting to talk about on i daily basis...
I refuse to touch dirty dishes. RE-FUSE. I will do every other chore in our little home if he just puts those dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Just... yuck. I can't touch them!
*Our bed has been taken over by all the pillows I sleep with.
*How I wake him up in the morning after getting in bed from working a night shift by asking "Baby, are you awake?"
*How I can't sleep without my eye mask, ear plugs, and pillows.
*My hair EVERYWHERE!
*How I can get a little whiny when I'm tired, hungry, sick, etc.
*Getting water on the kitchen floor and not wiping it up.
Thankfully my sweet fiance says he loves me for all my little annoying quirks!!!
FI says my "general messiness". He's way neater than I am (although I am cleaner than him!). I have a corner that my closet is in (in our dining room, long story), where my closet contents are always spilling out.
Mine hates lots of things:
-When I ask him a lot of questions (if he'd be more forthcoming I wouldn't have to!)
-When I leave my clothes in the dryer
-When I don't leave the water running for him in the shower (yes I've ruined him)
-When I tell him what he's thinking
-When I talk about work
