My FI and I were talking the other day about the habit we have that annoy eachother, and Thank GOODNESS we don't take eachother too seriously, otherwise feelings would have been hurt... Now I love him with all my heart , but he is NOT perfect, just perfect for me.. One thing he does that ABSOLUTELY ANNOYS ME is he leaves his socks EVERYWHERE! in the kitchen, bathroom, floor, table, counter, bed... ahhhh just thinking about it drives me INSANE, and he thinks its the funniest thing ever..
What your your SO annoying habits?
His indecisiveness/deference to plans! He wants to make sure everyone has a say, so he always defers things like where to eat, plans for a weekend, etc. to me or someone else so that everyone is happy. It's endearing, sure, but sometimes I just want HIM to tell me what HE wants!
He squeezes the toothpaste from the middle of the tube, and he folds t-shirts backwards. Our solutions were simple- I have my own tube of toothpaste & we do our laundry separately.
He says he hates the way I fold t-shirts, and he thinks it's annoying that I will dry my feet thouroughly, between the toes and everything, before getting out of the shower. I stand on my right foot, dry my left foot completely, then slip my dry left foot into my slipper. Then, standing on my left dry foot (in a slipper) I dry my right foot completely. He finds this process incredibly irritating.
He puts everything away where I can't find it - I get EXTRA annoyed when he does this with my cellphones and chargers!! Heaven forbid he's not home and doesn't answer his cell phone when I discover he's put everything away. Again. In an entirely new spot that only he knows of.
I'm sure he has plenty of peeves about me too, like I am very messy and rarely clean up after myself! :)
When he cooks he doesn't clean up. So afterwards, when you walk in the kitchen, there is random food still left out on the counter. Today after breakfast, half an onion, the rest of the eggs, half a tomato, a cutting board, and spinach leaves were left on different surfaces all over the kitchen.
@mwitter80: This!!!!!
My FI does the 1/2 clean up. Meaning, after dinner he will run the dishwasher, but there are still random dishes and food on the counter that he'll just leave for the next time. Why not wash everything at once? Drives me nuts.
@allieluvs21: You know what's funny? Before I even clicked to open this thread, I thought to myself, "SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hahaha! It makes me laugh, though. I mean, how can one person even wear that many socks in the first place!?
If I had to choose a real thing that annoys me, I would say when he leaves dishes/pots/pans in the sink. We only have a single sink in the kitchen and it usually means that in order to use it, I have to wash all the gross dishes he left in there first. Grr!
@DaneLady: Hahaha!! A friend of mine had a WAR with her SO over the toothpaste squeezing thing once...they even called me out of the blue to see how I squeezed mine as a tie-breaker!!
My FI has a number of annoying habits, like most men. He leaves clothes everywhere. EVERYWHERE. It's not uncommon to find a pair of pants on the dining room floor. And what's worse is our dog (a golden retriever) likes to bring us random things, so I never know for sure which of them has left the pants in the dining room. He also seems to be allergic to bringing his dirty dishes into the kitchen, or rinsing them off when he's done. He also does not have the ability to find anything, or remember where he's puts things. If I tell him he left his keys on the kitchen counter, he'll look all over the kitchen and complain that he can't find the keys. I always have to say 'If I go all the way in there and they're in front of your face, you owe me something good'.
He has his late night snacks in bed. The. Dumbs in the bed drive me insane! LOL
he would kill me for sharing this, but he has this habit that he has had since he was little. he takes the corners of my expnsive pillows and balls them up in his "special" way. so while other kids sucked on blankets and their thumbs, he did this. now all of my pillow corners are balled up and scrunched. i HATE it, but i LOVE him so i deal with it. i see it as a sing that he has a comfort level with me that he doesnt with anybody else.
Everytime he uses a paper towel, he'll leave it on the counter RIGHT above the trash can. He never throws them away and it drives me nuts. But then I noticed when we were at his parents' house this past Christmas that his mom does the same thing.
Taking bites out of leftover things like burgers and pizza where you can SEE the bitemarks and then putting it back in the fridge. OMG WHY DO YOU DO THAT?!?!
Instead of taking 5 seconds to change the toilet paper, he'll rest the new roll on top of the empty cardboard tube of the last roll. I see red when he does this!!
And he never cleans up after he cooks. He leaves the kitchen a gigantic hot sauce spattered mess around 11pm (when I've already gone to bed) and then I'm supposed to wake up in the morning and clean it. I went on a 3 day cleaning strike the last time this happened, so he's been good about it lately.
@KatyElle: Gahhh! My FI does that with toilet paper too!
He leaves cabinet doors wide open. I come home from work and every door in the kitchen is open.
He also has to yell at inanimate objects when they don't do what he wants them to do and it annoys me. We joke that something will not work until he yells at it, so he better get it over with soon rather than later. That habit runs in his family, though. We call it "the rage."
My FI most annoying habit is whistling OMG it drives me crazy! LOL that and he can NEVER make up his mind... he always just says "ummm.....sure"
He takes of his clothes from work and leaves them exactly where he was standing when he takes them off...
OH and he is obsessed with hats so I find hats in every room of where he just takes them off and puts a new one on!
Mine used to chew the top of his water bottle and it drove me crazy. Now that I got a fridge with a water dispenser he doesn't do it anymore.
This BIG one for me...deep breath....He doesn't wear his seatbelt.
I know, I know You wouldn't even drive or get in the car unless your FI did. Me too. I insisted all the time and he would for a couple of days but then goes back to not wearing it. I start feeling like a nag so I just suck it in and not say anything but I hate it! I don't know if it's because he's so big that it's uncomfortable (I know it's more uncomfortable to be injured or dead. Which I tell him.) Or if it's just how he was raised. *sigh* It sucks. I NEVER let my kids or anyone else ride in the car without theirs on. I don't know why I've given in to him.
You Bees are making my day, I am Cracking Up!!!
Another little pet peeve is (I know its stupid, but after 8 years its just annoying) When ever we watch a movie a comedy, horror whatever, when something funny happens he STARES at me and in a horror film when something scary happens he STARES at me! One time i just blew up like "Can I have my face back? Why do you always feel the need to stare" hahah
Being vgaue:
Me: "When is your mom coming?"
Him: "Oh... sometime in a couple weeks" (when he knows the date exactly)
OR:
Me: "What time is it?"
Him: "Getting late" (just tell me what time it is!!)
Drives me bonkers. Just answer the question!
He has a tendency to leave things all over the place. I've developed a sort of radar for his most commonly lost items. I don't remember exactly when I started keeping such careful tabs on his stuff, but in the mornings, I always seem know exactly where he left his phone, wallet, and keys.
I hate nothing more than feeling like a nag, but he is very forgetful. I try my best to try not to remind him to do things in the hopes he'll remember it on his own...in doing so, I usually end up getting sick of waiting for him and doing it myself! I think he knows I'll do it if he holds out long enough! :p
He hits the snooze button rather than getting out of bed. This morning, he did it for an hour and forty-five minutes, starting at 5. I wanted to punch him.
FI smokes. I despise cigarette smoke. 'Nuff said.
Aside from that, FI has severe sinus issues. Sometimes (about once or twice a week), he'll be on a nose blowing "kick". It's where he really loudly tries to blow the contents out of his nostrils, but nothing wants to come out. He has to blow really hard and loud for about an hour if he wants to get it out. Throughout the whole process, he refuses to get tissue because he swears nothing is going to come out. Usually, I'll start to hear the mucous coming down right before it comes out and I'll run to get him tissue. Sometimes, I'm not so lucky and it comes out before I've gotten him a tissue. It is gross and it drives me CRAZY!
My FI does a few of the things mentioned above (the socks, the clothes on the floor, the inability to change a toilet roll)
The thing that drives me absolutely nuts is his comic books.
He collects comics and gets the new ones every week when they come out. This is not what drives me insane. What drives me crazy is that he never puts them away.
He has a closet, an entire closet dedicated to his comic boxes. Instead of putting his comics in the boxes he leaves them all over the house. In the living room, on his nightstand, in the bathroom, on the kitchen table, everywhere! He evn leaves them on the floor! He reads them while sitting on his video game rocker and leaves them on the floor next to the rocker.
I always end up stepping on one of them and then slipping on them.
I used to put them all on his desk but since they are in bags already they tend to slip off each other and land on the floor in a crash (usually at 3 in the morning)
I love my FI, and I love comics, but sometimes I just want to throw all his comics in the trash.
He autolocks the car doors before I'm out of the car. It drives me nuts. Sometimes he does it on purpose because he knows how annoyed I get.
The other aggravating thing is that we have some differences when it comes to food - he hates onions, peppers, and celery, so I either have to sneak them in or eliminate entire cuisines. He likes non-chunky sauces, stews, etc. So he'll just blend up the whole jar of salsa to eliminate the chunks, and then leave me with runny salsa, rather than taking what he wants and blending that. He mashed up an entire crock pot recipe the other day (he ate earlier because I got home late) because that was how he wanted to eat it.
But... I leave my stuff everywhere and am really disorganized, and I know it makes him absolutely nuts when I don't pick up my things (I tend to leave them in organized piles, although I'm trying to get better). So... it's a tradeoff. :)
@MaraBeth: I also know exactly where all of my FI's stuff is. I always notice where he leaves his things. For instance this morning:
Me: What are you looking for?
Chris: My wallet. I can't remember where I left it.
Me: You left it on the X-box.
Chris: My keys?
Me: On the hall table, next to the key bowl but not in the key bowl
Sometimes he just stares at me like how do you know where everything is?
@Otaqueen: Haha, exactly! Today he looked at me like I'd performed witchcraft by alerting him his wallet was probably under a magazine he'd tossed on the kitchen counter. The conversation you posted we've probably had verbatim in our apartment!
My boyfriend is the neater one, so he probably has similar complaints about me as many of you do! However, he has a very different way of doing things than I do, and it can be so annoying. We wrap presents differently, fold socks differently, put dishes away differently... I let him do his own laundry (he's so picky, and I could care less), but when I am looking for a pan or something and it is in a totally different place than I'm used to it being, it is frustrating!
Another one is he likes to point out things, typically physical, that aren't perfect about me. Like "whoa, you have a moustache in this light!" Thank you very much for noticing... Now I feel awesome. He doesn't do it to be mean, and doesn't come across as mean, but it makes me so self-conscious sometimes! Luckily, he doesn't do it much anymore...
after so many years together; he has alot lol
Some of the most annoying ones without reapeating some of the others are:
- He listens to ESPN sports ALL THE TIME. TV, Radio, etc... whenever we ride together we have to listen to it , the entire time.... gah knock me out now lol
- He wears his really jeans to work in and ruins all of them.
- He never locks the cars, the house, etc.
- He leaves his trash in my car when he drives it.!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH
this is an easy one. when we are getting ready to go somewhere i take a while (between a half hour and two hours usually) to do everything i need to to get ready. the whole time he will sit and relax or whatever. then right when im ready he will be like ok well let me just jump in the shower....really? seriously? thats annoying. like allll that time he had and he waits til im ready to walk out the door to start getting ready. makes me crazy. or better yet when we are both "ready" and we are literally half way out the door and he's like no wait i wanna do my hair instead of just leavign it natural. ill be right back....*30 minutes later* .....ok i did it but then i didnt like it so i washed it out and am gonna just leave it like this.... fml!!!!!!!
Mine never plans a darn thing - he is always a last minute person and it literally drives me NUTS. I am an Office Manager so a big part of my life is planning things out. I like to know what is for dinner, what my schedule at home with the kids is like during the week, what we are going to do for the upcoming weekend and trips, etc. No, not him - it may be the day of and he says - hey get to packing, we are going to Missouri to see the family this evening. Or he always says....I don't know when I ask him something or "you think". GRRR - but I love him to death!
Mine will eat, rinse his dishes, and LEAVE THEM IN THE SINK when there is an empty (or dirty) dishwasher right next to the sink. He'll do this for multiple meals so that there's a PILE of dishes and an empty dishwasher... drives me INSANE! I guess I should be thankful that he rinses them?
My husband always shakes his knee and it drives me nuts!!! He does it more when he's nervous but even when he's bored or just watching tv he does it.
@MrsCarnival: Taking bites out of leftover things like burgers and pizza where you can SEE the bitemarks and then putting it back in the fridge. OMG WHY DO YOU DO THAT?!?!
^^I do this all the time!! I don't know why I do that- I think of it as not wasting a whole dish when all I want is one *little* (read: BIG) bite...?
His habits I find annoying: leaving clothing everywear (draped on chair, table, rock band drumset, floor etc), leaving change everywhere, not unrolling his socks before putting it in the laundry basket, not stacking dishes properly, not helping with housework, buying things he doesn't use.
My habits that he finds annoying: nagging.
<_< Kind of a lose-lose situation for me hahahah
just thought of another one...ill say something in the car that is a question and he will just sit there. like for a good solid 5 minutes. and then out of nowhere he will answer me. and its not questions that require deep thought. example from the weekend....
me: he can we stop on the way back and grab some juices from the store for matthews lunches this week?
him: .....................................................................................
me: *waiting impatiently for about 10 minutes*
him: ...yea.....i dont see why not.......
me: what are you talking about?
him: well you asked if we could get juices. so i said yea. duh.
wtf. i mean dude its a simple question why do you not answer for like a thousand years. he doesnt even acknowledge that i spoke at times and then out of nowhere he will answer whatever question it is that i asked. its like a delayed reaction or something. it seriously is the weirdest thing and we have fought about this multiple times and he swears he doesnt do it on purpose and that he isnt doing it to be a jerk or anything. so i have taken to pointing it out when he does it so he can be more aware of how he is.
