    goodness...my FI snores like mad. Yesterday I was watching TV in bed while he was sleeping and it got so loud that I pinches his nose for a sec...and he stopped. For like a minute.

    Hubby likes to wiggle a lot. Usually I don't mind, but if he's next to me and he's making the couch or bed wiggle and I'm trying to read (usually small print) and it's moving around and then it drives me nuts! His video-gaming annoys me a bit, but now that he has a game he's addicted to on psp, at least he is next to me while he plays lol The music being too loud gets annoying sometimes, but it's not so bad.

    I also like to go to bed together, but I'm usually the one that goes to bed early :p I also prefer him to piddle in bed next to me lol I guess I'm odd :p I just sleep better when he's next to me, even if he's not going to sleep.

    he breathes out of his nose loudly every once in a while...i guess he's trying to stop it from tickling.  i call him "whale" when he does this, so now he thinks its funny and does it all. the. time.  so now i do it to him, in his ear ;) i'm evil.

    1) chews on the skin around his fingernails. A lot. Big, nasty, sores. Why?!?!

    2) He can be a little TOO old fashioned/conservative about things. Sometimes he comes up with things and I'm like, "okay, GRANDPA" 

    3) snores when he's sick. I make him take TONS of zicam.

    4) He's good about trying new foods (california rolls for example) but unfortunately he usually ends up spitting it up at the table like a 2 year old. Kinda gross.

    @His Barista: I ENTIRELY understand about WOW.  My fiance used to play nearly all the time when I'd talk to him on the phone (we live an hour apart) and it drove me crazy.  Then his computer crashed...and I was perhaps quite selfishly relieved.

    He also gets really into sports.  I don't understand it.  He'll be watching football and yelling at refs and I don't even know why.

    I hope we don't have cable in our apartment.

    He never irons his work clothes. So unless I'm there to do it, he goes to work with wrinkly stuff. His co-worker made a crack about how they can tell whenever I'm in town because he doesn't look like he just pulled his dress shirt out of the bottom of the closet. lol yuck. I hate sloppy dressers.

    Um, he never cleans his fridge or his kitchen floor. I do it when I visit.

    He can't stay in bed once he wakes up! I'd love to lounge in bed & have a lazy Saturday with him, but he's not capable of doing it. There's only 1 way other than sleep to get him into bed...  lol

    Funny board! 

    Corgitale:  That's funny about him being a label whore 'cause my Fi has tendencies too, but it doesn't bother me so much because I've been known to be one too!

    Ejs:  The spitting out the food...eewww!!  i just got a visual!  Don't you lose your appetite when he does that!?  But I guess he's willing to try new things right?

    What drives me nuts about Fi:  his patience!  HE HAS NONE!!

    @jingle, yeah, it's pretty gross but i have a stomach of steel; i can eat around ANYTHING and not get grossed out. I get so embarassed tho! It's not like he throws it up, he just sort of spits it out into a napkin all chewed up. I guess I do the same with a fatty piece of beef. But he is pretty good about taking the tiniest bites now. It was my fault--i made him stuff the whole california roll piece in his mouth. The look on his face was pretty priceless tho, i'm not gonna lie.

    @50- it actually doesn't bother me, unless i'm trying to watch tv. It is worst when he is on his back and then I just ask him to roll over. Even on his side he snores but I'm used to it. I got a pug that slept with me when I was 13, and it totally got me used to the snoring. The pug snored so loudly that it would wake my mom up in her room, through 2 closed doors. Me? Never woke up haha. I used to always joke that the dog was training me for marriage, turns out I was right :)

    Ejs: a california rol?!?  I'm such a sushi lover, it just breaks my heart.  They're not even bad! I take it he hasn't tried any other rolls?!  How about a shrimp tempura roll, those are always good for beginners!

    @jingle, yep, a california roll was too gross and weird for him! He says it's a texture thing. The seaweed, the rice, the whole "not eating with a fork/spoon" thing, the avocado....the dude hates it all. I always chow down on sushi and he stares at me kinda weird and picks at his chicken teriyaki.

    It's so sad. This is what I get for being part asian and marrying me a polish boy, LOL.

    He makes this weird noise... it's like half a half fart/half squeak sound and I hate it and he knows it so he does it all the time.

    He leaves all his little hairs in the sink after he shaves.

    He'll come into the bathroom when I'm trying to get ready and take up the whole freakin mirror. He doesn't even try to stand to one side. His excuse is that he'll just take a minute but when I'm in my concentrating/trying to put on my eyeliner/put in contacts/etc mode it drives me crazy that I have to pause just for him. We have a second bathroom, hello!

    He constantly takes things out without putting them away.

    That's all. Love you sweetie if you happen to snoop this post!! LOL

    Oh man--

    1. He is so quiet sometimes. Something monumental will have just happened and I'll ask him, "What do you think about that?" and........ silence.

    2. He is such an OCD crazo about the dishwasher. I have to ask him if the dishes are dirty or clean since he practically scours them and dips them in acid before he puts them in the dishwasher. Isn't that what the dishwasher is for? WASHING? Why do they have to be clean beforehand?

    3. Leaving dishes all over the house, like empty glasses on the coffee table.

    4. He SCREECHES to a halt at the sight of a yellow light a mile away. I'm gunning it to the floor trying to make it before it turns all the way red, and he is stopping when it is still green!

     

    Lol, gosh those are such little things compared to some of my issues with other boyfriends. I'm so lucky!

    oh, and I also hate when hubby takes a shower and he doesnt turn the shower part off (you know, so it's still coming from the shower and not the nozel thing?) Because of the way he likes to angle it (it hit the back wall), I end up getting water all over my arm, and it starts to flood a bit down the wall over onto the floor. Hate that lol

    I thought of more!

    his driving. He drives like a grandpa. He stops at every yellow light even if that means he has to slam on the brakes to do so (He is getting better about this after several fights). He is totally uncomfortable driving in city conditions, despite the fact he's lived here for 5 years (so he hates driving down 1 ways with cars parked on both sides, hates parallel parking, hates backing into spaces etc). 

    this is an old one... but he used to have a really bad habit of mentioning how much everything costs. This goes along with being the label whore i think. But, when we were first dating he would always say stuff like "oh yea my mom got me this coat for christmas. it is so nice, cashmere, it cost her XXX!" or "I just got this awesome ralph lauren comforter for $350" or something. I finally told him flat out-- it makes you sound like an jerk if you go around telling everyone how much you spent on stuff. He has not done it in a VERY long time, thank goodness. 

    For all of his spendiness when it comes to clothes/furnishings etc, he is CHEAP when it comes to food. He will go spend $100 on a shirt without blinking, the bitch to me for half an hour about the price of bread at the grocery store. It boils down to the fact that he doesn't really value eating and kind of resents that he has to do it to live (total opposite from me-- I love eating!). So he gets annoyed at whatever portion of his paycheck he is forced to "waste" on food. He can go a lot of months spending only $50 at the grocery, it is ridiculous. I used to try to "fix" this because I'd feel bad for him that he was eating ramen or something every day... but then I realized he HAS money he just chooses not to spend it so i refuse to feel badly for him haha. We always joke that once we live together and I'm doing the grocery shopping for both of us, he'll probably gain a ton of weight because he'll actually be eating 3 proper meals a day!

    @ejs - On #1 - My FI does this, too, but he is breaking the habit. First I threatened to call off the wedding if he didn't stop and that didn't work. Then, I threatened to cut him off in the bedroom if he didn't stop. His nails are actually growing out and he's only torn a couple in the last few weeks! THey look so much better and i am giving him manicures now.

    lol, reading this totally makes me think of a ton of things. When I ask him a question like "How was your day?" or "What do you want for dinner?" He'll say "Yes." Simply because he doesn't want to talk about it or doesn't have an opinion. He ashes in the sink, toilet, bathtub. Ugh, being a non-smoker, I find it crazy annoying to get in the shower and see ashes. Luckily they just slide down the drain. And he doesn't flush if he's just peed. We have this toilet cleaner thing that makes the water blue so I come in and it's an ugly shade of green! lol, but these are all so minute.

    I feel like I should say what I love about him too. :) I've got a cold and last night he came in and snuggled with me and tucked this teddy bear he bought me for Christmas in my arms when he left. lol, sometimes he treats me like a kid but I can't say I mind.

    He doesn't like to gossip - that's a bit annoying. =D

    Also sometimes I wish that something being important to ME was enough reason for it to be important to him.  Yes, I spent a day making pumpkin pie from scratch for Thanksgiving instead of just running across the street to the store, but making the pie from scratch mattered to ME even though he thought it was stupid.  And people did notice and it was astronomically better than store bought, thankyouverymuchh.

    LOL, I feel better about my husband reading this! Some of the things that have been mentioned here would drive me bonkers!

    The few things I can think of...

    1. Taking his shoes off and leaving them right in front of the door for me to trip on when I walk in. Is it so hard to put them by the wall??

    2. Being too much of a planner! Every week before we go grocery shopping we have to plan out a dinner schedule for the whole week. It's nice in a lot of ways, but I'm used to just going and buying whatever I'm out of or what looks good and winging it. Also, getting out the GPS anytime we go somewhere new. I've found some of the coolest places by "taking the scenic route" as I like to call it so unless we need to be on time let's just enjoy the ride.

    3. Getting out of the shower without drying off and getting not only the tile, but also the bathroom rug wet. It weirds me out stepping on a wet rug in the bathroom, like someone peed on it! Oh, and then putting on his shirt without drying his back. If I see him get out I run over with a towel to dry it :)

    4. When he clips his toenails he cuts them all raggedy. But neither of us can stand the sound of a nail file so I let it go.

    Oh, and this is not really his fault, but the TP always ends when I use it so I'm always the one to replace it.

    Its funny how I keep thinking of things that I could post on either of these two posts (what drives me crazy about him and what drives him crazy about me). I guess we have a lot of reciprocal type things that we disagree on and drive each other nuts. 

    The one I was just thinking of was the way we communicate via email and text. I am a total technology person and I would love to just email and text all day. His job is a lot busier and he doesn't do either "just because." It drives me crazy that I'll text him something silly and he doesn't respond... whereas he says: it didn't require a response (technically true, but come on throw me a bone! haha). It drives him crazy (I am thinking.. he has never said this) that I email him 47 times a day about stupid stuff. haha.

    I like to call my BF the midlife man, even though he is in his late 20's and I in my mid 20's.   He listens to talk radio, watches CNN/MSNBC/etc., and has a penchant for soft rock.  Every. Day.

    Oh my gosh, these are too funny!

    My husband is a mouth breather. There, I said it, and it drives me nuts! And sometimes, like everyone, he has really bad breath, and I can smell it from across the couch. He gets mad when I tell him to breath through his nose, but I'm like, "Dude, I don't want to smell your burrito all night long!" And he also has one of those very "wet" mouths. Like saliva everywhere, and it grosses me out when we eat sometimes, but only when he's super relaxed and not worrying about being polite. Ugh, so frustrating, haha.

    It's a good thing he's cute :)

    The things thats bugging me most about him at the moment, is he sometimes seems completely incapable of making a simple descision. 

    We were in Burger King at the weekend, and it actually took him nearly 30 minutes to decide what burger he wanted.  I know he's watching what he eats, so a BK is a big treat for him - but geez, it's just a burger!

    #1 thing: He never freaking stops. He's always going, and sometimes I just want to bum around and stay in my pjs and only eat coffee....till like 3pm but still dammit I want to be a bum. 

    2. Talks about how he wants to change certain things like he wants to lose weight but doesn't change his eating habits, doesn't work out and just complains. I'm a doer, if I want to change something I will. 

    3. He likes educational tv, I like stupid tv, like dumb reality shows and he makes fun of me for it. 

     

    I still love him anyway

    @cbgg- My boyfriend doesn't like to gossip either, and MAN does that drive me crazy!! To his credit, sometimes I forget he's not my girlfriend. For instance he recently told me I talk to much about the Kardashians....Never even realized I had a problem! HA! I guess sometimes they gotta put you in check.

    1. He is L-A-Z-Y. About almost everything. He works 9.30 - 5.30 every single day, comes home and watches TV, surfs the net or plays computer/video games. He does cook, but it never occurs to him - oh I should clean something, or oh I should tidy up the living room or do some vacuuming. Only when it affects him directly. He often doesn't close cabinet or dresser drawers or doors, and frequently leaves the shower on (our shower thingy is a sep knob you turn to put the shower on, so that if he doesn't turn it off, and i shower after him and turn on the hot & cold wihtout paying attention, i get water dumped on my head). He rarely puts food away when he's done using it or cleans up teh stovetop or countertops after cooking stuff.

    2. He is often completely oblivious. He often asks where things are when they are staring him right in the face. He rarely cleans anything without me asking him to do it first. He wears glasses 90% of the time for chrissake - why can he never see ANYTHING?? I put bills on the fridge and he never reads them, and the cable bill (the biggest) is in my name so I always have to tell him what he owes me and when he needs to give me his part. URGH!

    3. He never cleans out or checks the fridge before going shopping. So we end up wasting lots of food. He always buys the biggest size of anything when only need the smallest amount.

    4. He is never consistent about telling me when his plans are or what time he'll be home. Not that I want to know his whereabouts at all times, but sometimes he'll tell me he'll be home late or to have dinner w/out him before he leaves in the morning, and other times he'll tell me he's made plans mid-day and i won't hear from him until he's home, and other times he'll tell me he's made plans either in the AM or mid-day, but then send me a text when he's heading home. Oy!

    And yet...... :)

    Oooh good post.

    He has terrible sinuses so he (a) has no sense of smell thus can't tell when his clothes smell or his feet smell or he just in general smells so I always have to tell him; (b) mouth breathing which I hate more than anything in the world; and (c) leaves his f***king tissues all over the apartment. So gross. I can't blame him for a or b since he was born with crappy sinuses, but pick up your nasty tissues. COME ON.

    Also, he pronounces things wrong a lot and continues to do it even after I correct him (nicely). He does it because he knows it drives me INSANE.

    This is great! I hate to say it but I have a few things but at the top of the list is OMG he eats soooo fast, I hate it, it's crazy, he eats as if it's his last meal and he's not even overweight in the least he is in very good shape, I just dont get it. The others would be he is pretty messy and leaves his stuff everywhere, and he never shuts cupboards or turns lights OFF!!! ugghh

    BOY did you open up a can of worms with this one! =)

    Well, just to name a few,

    -He drops his shoes, shirts, and yes, sometimes even underwear, in the middle of the living room after a long day at work.

    -He argues with me about stuff he doesn't know he's doing in his sleep (Like snoring or kicking me - he'll say "no, I didn't do that." UM YOU WERE SLEEPING - how do you know?!)

    -He's obsessed with non-running vehicles which are taking up precious driveway, curb, and garage/shop room!

    But, even though he drives me bonkers sometimes, I still love him and can't wait to make things official in marriage! (I'm sure there's a laundry list of things about me that drive him nuts!)
