What is your partners most annoying habit?

Kate1949 but has he done the hoovering "for you" ?
That really bugs me ?

Always clearng his throat - apparently trying to cough up mucus. Yes - but this lasts all day. He helps by washing up after a meal but I have to examine the pots and they variably have coffee marks inside the mugs - the pots don’t get a thorough clean. ?

Probably. He also brings 'my' washing in when it rains. I do appreciate that I still have him though.

When going away (usually self catering), DH boasting he can be up and out in 20 minutes. Yes, but what about eating breakfast, feeding the dog, walking him round the block, tidying house and making bed, checking round and remembering the fridge/freezer food that needs to be taken. “Oh well, you can do that while I pack the car!” Shame we’re only allowed one annoyance on here!!

HillyN that’s hilarious, it should be in a sitcom?

Mine explains something in detail then says, “It’s like…” as if I haven’t understood him the first time. He knows it winds me up.

The Wonderful Man has a very irritating habit of not using the correct - and obvious - tool for the job. E.g. he’ll grab a tea towel (or a t shirt if there’s one handy) to clear up a spill, even when the dishcloth is sitting within hand’s reach ready to be used and today he put the used teabags in a plastic jug (why??) when we have a pottery dish (right next to the kettle) for that very purpose. I have THREE small watering cans, so why am I always hunting in the garden for missing jugs that he’s used to water seedlings?

It’s a minor irritation and demonstrates his adaptability and inventiveness, but I do wish he’d stop it. [sigh]

I'm always up first in the morning and I expect last up to make the bed. I return later in the day to find the bed either completely unmade or even worse, only one half made. It takes 2 minutes to do the whole thing. It's not that my dh doesn't appreciate a nicely made bed as every night when he climbs in ( after I have sorted it all out) he says " ohh this feels so nice". I'm often drawing on patience I didn't know I possessed.

Carefully putting his used cups, plates, knives etc on the top of the dishwasher. Is he too weak to open the door and put it inside the blessed machine?

Gosh, some of these behaviors sound like me. I am thankful my husband loves me.

My biggest complaint is the noise he makes. He hums when he eats and taps his fingers on everything.

Doesn’t wash up properly and always leaves pots and pans etc with bits stuck on.

Constant throat clearing and sniffing

Stuffs the rubbish bin extremely full rather than taking it out, so when I come to the task the bag spilts

I could go on….

Carefully putting his used cups, plates, knives etc on the top of the dishwasher. Is he too weak to open the door and put it inside the blessed machine?

Hmm, but has he ever loaded the dishwasher and then been told he has put things in the wrong place?

Just a thought.

Going on and on about Boris, when I’ve told him repeatedly my opinion of Boris and the whole Tory party, and said I really don’t want to talk about it.
Giving me a blow by blow account of every rugby match, I have even less interest in rugby than Boris.
Driving too fast, probably more row’s about that than anything else.
But I’ve put up with him for forty six years, so he can’t be all bad.

He also takes everything out of the dishwasher, that we put in, because we’re doing it wrong.

I laugh a lot reading these comments, my man has many of these faults and I know I have a few of my own too.
He is a sports person and watches sport far too much, often he drops off to sleep a few minutes into a programme, but wakes up if I switch off and says he was watching it.

Sara1954s husband sounds very like mine. No matter what conversation I start, he can always turn it into a rant about BJ. I've told him I don't want to hear.
And we usually drive in separate cars now.
But his most annoying habit is not answering me when I speak. I often have to say, Now you speak, and that makes it a conversation. Of course if I mention Boris it's not a problem.

We used to be pretty much on the same page regarding politics, but he’s driving me so mental that I automatically disagree with everything he says, I even find myself sticking up for Angela Raynor.

I’ve laughed so much at all your DHs foibles ? mainly because they seem so amusing in other folks but I agree that they’re irritating on an everyday basis!

I daren’t start on my list of motives for murder grounds for divorce, it might make me forget his redeeming features, which are many?

Wonder what they would have to say about us!

I couldn't possibly choose one and no way do I have time to list them all. ?

When I mention something I would like to look at with a view to buying and he orders it on Amazon.
His way of curtailing my retail therapy.

Nothing, it's not done for a man to criticise the lady.

How long have you got? ?

Kate1949

I've done the hoovering . Hang on I'll get your medal.

Brilliant. My DH is the same and I say that to him.

I wouldn't care but he only does half a job. He hoovers around everything rather than moving them. I don't mean big stuff like furniture. I mean things like shoes !!

Pinkcosmos
Mine is the opposite, he doesn’t vacuum often, but when he does he moves everything, sofas, anything that can be moved, and then I get, when did you last move that cupboard, you should have seen the cobwebs behind that bookcase.
I tell him if he has a problem to take it up with the cleaner.
