What is your partners most annoying habit?

Thankfully, I don't live with mine but saying that, he regularly says he'll phone the next day (he doesn't) or that he'll come over on a specific day, then the day before he's due (after I've been out and bought his favourite foods), he drops it on me that he's got to work/do a pcr test for a hospital appointment he's not told me about/see his daughter's/look after a colleague's cat, the list goes on.
Very often I wonder why I keep him in my life.

My husband says...Iv washed your dishes or Iv made your bed...Erm...You use the dishes and sleep in the bed...

I’m just so reassured reading all these…I truly thought it was just ‘im indoors’ and I felt it was just me being pernickity. Now I know I’m not alone! Please keep this thread going, it’s wonderful!

DH has this habit of coughing half a dozen times, then finishing with an almighty sneeze. Every time.
I thought this was his only bad habit, but reading through these I am thinking hmmmmm ?
But, he does bring me an extremely good cup of tea, every morning in bed. He'll do.

Having to get everywhere too early. Going on holiday & arriving at the airport 3 hours before check-in- just in case there is problems with the car/motorway or queues at the airport. One year we arrived 3 hours early at the airport & there was a 10hour delay before we took off?.

Doing the dishwasher but leaving empty containers unclean in the sink. Why?!? Also not putting everything away if he can’t immediately find a space for it, never thinking to reorganise a cupboard slightly. Those things get left on work surfaces. Thinking about it, one and two are linked. He’s great in other ways, though.

Annoying habits ?My late husband had several....I'd put up with them if I could just have him back to share our life for longer .

I feel for you, valchoc. DH was very ill with Covid last month - had to get an ambulance out when his vital signs were all over the place. He is only just beginning to recover now. Suddenly I'm fine with all his foibles...

He never throws any empty bottles away.
Just puts them straight back in the cupboard.

Never closes cupboard doors.

Never screws bottle tops back on properly.

I could go on!,

I can track his progress around the house by the drawers, cupboards, doors etc he leaves open .

Same here... Now terrifying these days as we have DS's doggie - who is an escape artist - while DS is at work through the week.

Mamma
You have shamed me.
Yes he’s an annoying git at times, but he’s a good kind man. I could have chosen a lot worse.

"I hung out your washing." It's everyone's including his.
Talking over TV/radio that I really want to listen to.
Twiddling hair - lifetime habit.
Just about got him trained to put loo seat down, after nearly 40 years.
Strange sneezing routine.
Foghorn nose blowing.
Jiggling feet to lively music on TV.
Otherwise, a very good bloke.

The explosive sneezing, like a bomb going off.
I’ve long given up saying anything.

Apart from that, he’s not a bad old bugger really.

Yes, I have one of these too!

Mine also insists on cuddling up to me in bed. Lovely in winter, but in summer - noooh! He’s like a little radiator. He does put up with my many foibles, so I am not complaining and he’s a little sweetheart too, so I think I get off pretty lightly ?

Then there’s his phone.
For some very unfair reason, Apple have made this one phone which doesn’t carry out instructions correctly.
His Bank will never load, facial recognition doesn’t work, he gets zillions of notifications about Katie Price which drive him crazy, he sends texts to the. wrong people, he’s always yelling for our granddaughter to come and sort it out, she just Just rolls her eyes.
Then the television, he got it stuck permanently on a Welsh channel, he cannot record anything, when I record something for him he can’t play it back
Oh I could go on……..

So happy I don’t have a DH to annoy me ?

I will make a suggestion or request detailing my thoughts behind that request and the response I get --"why?". My problem is my four year old GD does exactly the same.

After reading these comments, I’m so glad I live alone!

We have two almost separate sides to our kitchen with a fridge on each side. One side is where the cooking is done along with the food ingredients that need cooking. The other side is for making coffee, snacks etc and has all the stuff that doesn't have to be cooked. So why does my husband unpack all the shopping onto one side of the kitchen but doesn't actually put it away? I'd sooner he didn't unpack it at all.

He claims not to understand recycling so leaves everything by the back door for me to put in appropriate bins. When putting dirty clothes in laundry basket there is always a sleeve or trouser leg left hanging outside.

His tidying consists of putting things in boxes ( which may mean kitchen utensils with odd items of clothing DGDs toys and my craft tools in the same box. Then removing said boxes to another room - or even an interim room - so that he can take boxes out of the destination room and put them elsewhere and having no idea where he has put anything. Hovering over me while I am doing something in the kitchen and taking spoons/forks/ knives away before I have finished using them. I have been known to explode “Every day is an effing treasure hunt in this house!”

I’ve hung out YOUR washing/done YOUR ironing/done YOUR hoovering etc etc

Oh how I laughed at most of these replies, are all our OH 's cloned?Because many of the things mentioned happen in our house too.
My real bug bear with OH is if I'm feeling ill, he is always feeling worse!! Even when the problems are women related........ but we've been married for 51 years and together for 4 years before that, so I'm used to his ways, although as he's got older it does rankle me more than it did......

Mine sneezes a lot but never puts his hankie or hands to his mouth in time. Consequently there are blobs on the walls and cupboard doors and kitchen windows by the sink. I feel disgusted when I see them and clean them. I tell him about this but he denies its him. Only the two of us live here arrgh!!!

MrsKen we are kindred spirits. I can track the whereabouts of my OH by the open cupboard doors, open drawers, and trail of posessions strewn everywhere.

I have just read some of these to DH. He said, and I quote “ Bloody militant lot aren’t they?” Lost for words.
