What is your partners most annoying habit?

Crikey Shazmo I think you've won the prize for the husband with the most annoying habit

Leaving a sock nest by the bed where he's taken them off instead of putting them in the laundry bin, then wondering why he's short of clean socks (because I've stopped collecting them on wash day hoping he'll get the message...that's ongoing ) and putting a new toilet roll on top of the radiator leaving the old one with only a couple of sheets on it. It's only a slip on holder but it seems to be beyond him

Ti Liz mine does that too. Complicated explanations that I have absolutely no interest in!!!

Are you sure that mine is not leading a double life? He does EXACTLY the same thing with identical results! Toothpaste drives me insane, as I always end up with the dried up bits!

Mine seems to have to watch every weather forecast and update me hourly. It seems too difficult to look out the window!!

Farting in public...loudly!

Visiting the bathroom just as I’m going to dish up dinner and spending aaaggggeeeessss in there! ?

My ex had plenty annoying habits but thankfully they are now the problem of the younger model he traded me in for!

He complained that I discouraged him from cooking but I couldn't cope with the mess he made if he did as he would use a different bowl/chopping board/knife etc for every item even if they were about to be cooked together! By the time he'd finished every dirty utensil was spread around the kitchen, never rinsed or soaking in the sink. I didn't know where to begin to clear up. His mother is the same and I try to avoid offering to clear up if I visit her as I never know where to start!

He was quite a good cook though and I understand he does most of the cooking now but I don't suppose the mess has improved. I wonder if she's trained him to clear up.

Smoking

My husband does these funny hiccup things, really loud! Apparently his ex-wife used to say "do you HAVE to do that" ... he is definitely getting worse and I am itching to say the same thing, but it would get me into trouble!

He used to microwave the sausages for the bbq so that they cooked quicker. He boasted about this to everyone but I refuse to eat them.

Everything on here and more!! I’m seriously thinking of getting a little job to get away for a few hours here and there!

Sago. My husband has a very similar habit. Most stuff goes in dishwasher, but we have a few things we wash by hand. Mainly oven trays, outdoor melamine dishes, good glassware etc. Usually some goes straight into sink, but glassware or anything fragile sits at side of draining board till its washed later that day or next day. But I can guarantee if DH washes it, the stuff by side of drainer is still there! He says 'I didn't see it'. I tell him to check, but it doesn't help. Grr. He does, fortunately, have many redeeming traits.

Mine wears hearing aids but still says pardon ,or something similar, almost every time I say something, even though half the time he has actually heard me?

Snoring, definitely

I think it is bred into every man to put tasks off; my OH has been building a cabinet for about nine months and its still not complete.

He cannot make a decision on meals and when 'we' , and I do mean I, have decided what to have for dinner he will wait for me to make the first move to cook and then hover around in the kitchen!

He is a reasonable cook but brought with him some dubious methods from his ex wife, I soon changed those, particularly the one where he put cabbage in cold water, brought it to the boil and cooked the life out of it for around 15 minutes!

I cal my DH half a job Stewart cos he only ever does half a job, enuff said.

Lol first world problems. I love my single life.

My husband is a retired chef, and can't/won't help me diet, and serves me far too much food at every meal. He helps being careful and weighing for 5-6 days then starts again with butter, cream and guestimation of weights etc. He won't let me cook (he's far better than me, and hates my cooking), hates me being in the kitchen to weigh stuff and due to my health issues I'm not able to cook anyway. I hate waste but leave 1/2 - 2/3rds of every meal...which either he eats or 'saves for later, never to be seen again and binned a few days later. For my health I need to lose weight but he sabotaged every idea I try

If I ask him to close the door he always asks which one. The one that’s open!
Then in the evening asks if I mind if he watches the news, he’s usually asleep within a couple of minutes, gently snoring and for some reason with a cushion balanced on his head! ?

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

Me too and also by the trail of detritus he leaves. He never puts anything away. Screwdrivers, cups, empty boxes, you name it, he leaves it where it lands. Even more irritating is the pile of bits of paper, empty plastic bottles and packets that he leaves on the kitchen worktop above the recycling bin where it will go ‘later’ ?

Being completely unable to understand that I actually ENJOY working in the garden, and every week offering to "get a bloke in to do it" or "Let's put paving down to save you the bother".

Ranting, the older he gets the more he rants! It can be about anything, but especially politics and the changing world in which we live.

When I'm cooking it's good that he always asks if there's anything he can do to help. The answer is usually the washing up. The problem is that he then hovers waiting for dirty dishes and gets under my feet. I've even known clean utensils and dishes I've got out ready to use be washed up before I have a chance to use them!!! Wouldn't swap him though.

His total inability to close the door between our kitchen and conservatory, the way out to the garden. Letting in freezing air in the winter and stifling hot air in the current heatwave. Never, never shuts it behind him. Occasionally I have locked him out.
