I love the thread Valhalla has going about what our men do that drive us nuts... but I started to feel a little bad about whining and thought maybe we should say what we do that drives our guys nuts! I'll start.
First and foremost-- I am not a neat person at all. I am clean... my house does not smell or anything, but I'm messy. I always leave papers, nail polishing stuff, magazines, mail, etc on my coffee table. I don't put purchases away. I don't put clean clothes away. I've always been this way and while I am getting a little better... I am still just messy. BF is much neater and it drives him crazy how my house is so cluttered! He has informed me that he is going to stock our house with proper storage so that I don't leave my mess laying around haha.
Also I know my eating habits drive him a little crazy. I'm a super picky eater and I don't like 90% of what he would make himself to eat. So when it is his turn to do dinner (we take turns) he always has a hard time figuring out what to get because I don't like most of what he cooks and he gets bored picking up dinner from the same few places all the time.
Lol... I always steal his socks in the winter when I wear my boots... they're just so long, so it's easy to tuck my jeans into them so they don't get all bunchy when I tuck my jeans into the boots! Silly, I know....
He also can't stand how messy my car is! My car always has an assortment of clothes and papers all over because I'm allllways in my car between driving 30 mins to work and back and then an hour to school and back. I just cleaned it out though, so yay for me haha :)
This is great too, Corgi. He says he needs an hour to think...but I think it's how impatient I am sometimes. How's that for irony? :)
He doesn't much care for when I get upset, but don't tell him why I'm upset.
Usually either it's I'm upset that I'm upset and don't quite know why, or I'm upset because I'm upset over something I think I shouldn't be upset about.
I imagine he doesn't care for my indecisiveness either.
I "quadruple check." I'm always asking "Are you sure with this? Are you okay with this? Is this all right? Are you still happy?" It drives him bonkers. But I'm such a people pleaser!
haha these are too funny.
@little octopus-- i am super impatient too. but so is bf, so we totally get it :)
@surkim- that would drive me nuts too! haha I do feel that way sometimes but I've taught myself a useful trick. I just say (when he inquires into bitchiness): well i'm feeling cranky bc you did x but i don't think thats entirely reasonably bc of y but i'm still cranky.
Generally once I verbalize it I feel better, and he feels less attacked bc I recognize I'm not being super rational haha.
Fair is fair, I gotta post in both :)
I am always on time, he isn't. I drive him crazy "can we leave now? how bout now? well, what about now? hey, I just thought of something, let's go- now!...."
I have a problem with over appologizing ... sometimes he says "Stop saying 'I'm sorry'" I bet you can guess what my response to that is ...
And he REALLY hates it when I complain about my weight or get down on myself.
And (okay this could be TMI) but he gets bacne ... and I can't help but pop them when we get out of the shower sometimes ... and I know it drives him crazy though he's slowly realized that if he just lets me do it it's over with quickly.
alisha, are you sure you're not me and he isn't my bf?
He thinks I'm too negative and hard on myself.
We both say "I'm sorry" for no good reason, usually followed up by "it's not your fault". If it's gotten to be particularly annoying, instead of "I'm sorry", we'll say "F you! and I don't mean I'm sorry!"
And picking at back angries? How else will you be able to rub his back and have your hands move smoothly?
yes i'm posting on this one as well.. he hates that i am a pack rat.. and when we say i love you i always say: why.. lol and i make him list reasons... lol totally insecure and idiotic but it's me.
let's see...i'm a bit clumsy so i tend to short corners and run into doors and walls and things with sharp corners. everytime i whisper "ow" i can practically hear him rolling his eyes. haha. he also hates it when i wear my socks to bed but my feet get cold!
i just asked. He says that what drives him crazy is when I say "borrow" when I mean "lend," and the way which I say espresso and other words. Whatevs. He's a big word/grammar guy (he even is correcting my spelling AS I type this! Poop. Stop looking over my shoulder!). ;)
I pick fights about housekeeping, and I am pretty sure that's what bugs him most! ;)
Nice one CorgiTales, I am glad you started this thread :) So let's see here - for starters, I am a morning person, he is a night owl. So I can barely stay awake past 11 at night, even on weekends - but I am one of those awful people that loves mornings, and so as I am getting up at 8 or 9 on the weekends, he groans and tells me to go to bed. Sometimes I jump on him in bed, and then he gets REALLY mad, lol.
Second...I bite hangnails. Not my nails, hangnails. It DRIVES HIM MAD. I have tried to stop, really!!! I even tried carrying nail clippers. I think the problem is my hands are chronically dry, so they just start up again and come back. But he still gets mad!
whining and moodiness. and when i'm feeling grumpy and dont let him watch tv with his hands on my boobs. lol.
I never put the lids back on things correctly, I ALWAYS leave the microwave open and never clear the time. *GIGGLE* poor guy...
I leave my fuzzy robe on the bedroom floor!
Why? We have a 14 yr old dog that has to go to the bathroom at least once (sometimes multiple times) a night and we sleep naked (sorry TMI) so I have easy access to my robe to take the dog downstairs to go pee!
But it drives him NUTS!!!!!!
Hmm. The husband is pretty diplomatic and easygoing (great combo, btw), so sometimes it's hard to tell when he is annoyed with me. Maybe when I obsess over stuff like my arm muscles or my hair? I'm not really sure.
<span style="font-size: x-small; color: #81a026;">Bellini that cracked me up! Such a guy..
I personally complain about my lack of gym motivation a little too much and i know it drives him craaaazy. But sometimes i just can't help it!
I'm a perfectionist. It's gtota be perfect or i do it over again
I overanalyze
I gossip and talk trash in the privacy of our own car.
I drag my cats into bed with us
Sometimes i smack him for getting grabby. No reason, I just dno't feel like being manhandled.
I poke his new belly, but heaven forbid he do it to me.
He hates I don't initiate the nooky as much as he wants me to.
Oh and i love stinky foods--kimchi, garlic, onions, tuna, etc. And I don't lke to brush my teeth right afterwards. I like to savor it or somethign equally gross. Whereas he's like "oh gosh, you stink, get outta here"
Also i used to have SIBO so i had the WORST GI problems. Poor guy wouldn't share a bathroom with me and I had to excuse myself to go toot sometimes. I got the problem fixed with some antibiotics but he'd always be like, "why are you so hot when you smell so bad?" hahahahah
My FI hates it that I refuse to leave the house without a shower, not even to go to Home Depot. I have oily skin and I just feel gross without one. FI thinks I should be able to roll out of bed and go like he does.
I asked hubby, but he said he has to think about it lol I think that just means he's not sure if he'll get in trouble (he wont), and also he's "busy" playing video games (he's at a boss fight and keeps dying so he's cranky lol). I do have a bad habit of picking at my lips which he HATES, and probably when I bother him when he plays video games, especially during boss fights... lol Maybe nagging, idk, though his idea of nagging and mine are different.
Hmm...I'm sure there are a TON of them!
I'm a little weird about getting claustrophobic from random things. For example, if we're in the car with our dog (who rides on my lap while FI drives) I will not let FI pet him at all, because I feel like I'm being pinned in or something.
I have a tendency to not close things...like chip bags, cereal, etc. I blame it on my mom (she has this problem too!)
I'm a little neurotic about my alarm. I check with him at least twice every night to make sure it's set. It really annoyed him at first but now he just kind of laughs at me.
Oh AmandaLynn, I am the same about my alarm and it drives my FI CRAZY! I messed up my alarm once and was nearly late for a clinical rotation in nursing school with this crazy instructor who would have chewed me out for the rest of the day. Now I check my alarm a few times a night. I don't trust it!!
Here is an interesting double standard in our relationship. If I get home from night shift, I am really good about being quiet and going to bed so as not to disturb him before he wakes up for work. But when I have to go to bed even earlier than usual becuase I am working a day shift the next day (7 am -7 pm), when he comes to bed later, he turns on the lights in the room, makes lots of noise, and the justifies it by saying he "has" to turn on the lights or he won't be able to find the bed! I usually just wake up and then go back to sleep, but its still annoying ;) I guess its payback for waking him up when we both share a weekend day off ;)
LOL I just asked him. He had to think about it, but he came up with something pretty good.
Whenever FI and I are driving home in different cars, he can't STAND it when he follows me. He likes to use cruise control, and I keep slowing down and speeding up (it's so TRUE!). LOL eventually he just passes me.
I talk in my sleep & wake him up with it. Every morning I wake up to a story of what I said or did the night before... One night I sat up straight in the bed and DEMANDED he gets me my hair tie. He was like, "It's on your side table- Can't you grab it?" I again barked at him to get it for me so he walked around the bed, handed it to me & I said "I don't want it. Why are you giving this to me?" Then I put my head down on the pillow and stopped talking lol. I don't remember any of this!
He's annoyed by my cleanliness (go figure) he keeps trying to convince me that there's something as too clean.
I'm clutsy and break everything. I mean everything. I put a hole in the wall. I broke his lamp & side table. I broke his toilet seat by standing on it and slipping lol. I broke all his wine glasses (he now has stainless steel ones). I've wrecked just about 1 of everything... lol
I set my alarm clock for 6am but then I hit the snooze button for 30-45 minutes depending on if I have to wash my hair. It drives him nuts. He's always like why can't you just set it for 6:30....
I am SO messy. Seriously, stuff EVERYWHERE! And yet I can always find everything I need. Except for chapstick...
I steal his chapstick ALL the time.
I talk in my sleep (but nothing NEAR as crazy as RB)!
I gossip about people at work, and let work drama affect me way too much.
I hate showering. I'll DO it every day, but I really hate being wet.
@KMSULL: lol I know... isn't that crazy!
I feel bad for him! I said if he ever finds me walking, I need to go to a sleep clinic! I don't want him to wake up one night with me standing over him w/ a knife or something.
fi says he hates that i have to wear clothes all the time, and that i cannot STAND to be touched when i sleep. he would also like to point out that he hates my "garbage ass", but i'm sure that's only because he doesn't think i have the guts to put it on the internet. folks, you know it's love when you can sit on the couch watching dexter, drinking beer, eating pizza, and farting together ;-)
Oh yeah- definitely my pack rat habits drive him crazy.
He got over me asking if his alarm was set when I didn't remember to and he was an hour late for work. Also when we leave a restaurant I ask if he has keys, phone, credit card, wallet, etc. Used to annoy him, but he got over it when I didn't ask and he had to call around to find his credit card!
i'm whiny....
ohhh this is weird i know, but i think showering is A HUGE effort and so will only shower max once a day (except when i'm super sweaty or whatever). particularly at winter time, i really dont like the cold phase between taking my clothes off and jumping in and the drying myself bit. also, because my hair is really long and thick, it takes AGES to dry. (i'm lazy when it comes to blow drying). FI loves showering and so he'll shower at least 2x a day, sometimes 3. it really bugs him that i don't particularly like the process of showering.
I'm messier than he is by far! I keep things tidy but not everything put away perfectly. Whereas he'd have everything set up like a showroom if I let him. :)
Also I tend to look before I leap and get overwhelmed and frustrated with things more quickly. He's mister calm practical logic and I'm so not! We really balance eachother well now that I think of it!
I have a really bad habit of spacing out sometimes when people are talking to me and it drives him absolutely nuts when I do it to him. I've come a long way and can say I never do it to him anymore, but I can't say the same for my boss ;)
FI gets annoyed:
I never put stuff away! He's always asking me, "Is this where [insert item here] is supposed to go?" It's like living with my mother, except I can talk back without getting yelled at! He complains that I never make the bed or fold the throw blankies when I'm done using them.
I also watch really terrible TV, but I mean, he watches football and baseball constantly so it can't be that bad, right? Thank goodness we have 2 TVs!
Tea- Haha I am just like you. I always fall down stairs or when I walk up them I trip on them. I run into the end tables on the side of the couch sometimes, and lots of other things, and everytime I say Ouch he goes "Damnit." because when I use to run into things i use to go "Ouch, Damnit!" and now he says it for me, but haha he says it and walks into the room and rolls his eyes at me, and I look at him like "Don't even say anything." haha.
and I'm also very stubborn, hehe.
haha you guys are cracking me up! You reminded me of a few more things I do that drive him nuts (and then I'm going to jump over to the other board and list a few more things he does that drive me nuts! haha).
I hate showering too! I do it, but I wait until the last possible moment. This drives bf nuts because he is one of those "shower the minute you get up" people. I think its a longer hair thing. It takes so damn long to dry!
He also hates a lot of the tv I watch. He says I always watch "depressing" shows because my favorites are all dramas (I will watch any medical or crime drama!). He will watch 1, MAYBE 2 with me in a row then he says he requires "happy" shows. haha.
Oh and I'm a backseat driver too. We have totally gotten into fights about this. I feel like he drives like a grandpa and it drives me NUTS so I always say things like "oh that light is going to turn speed up speed up speed UP!" (I believe yellow means go fast. He believes it means stop. psh). We have come to an understanding: I have to keep my mouth shut unless I am giving requested instructions or am in actual fear for my life.
