What is your partners most annoying habit?

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.

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

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!!

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

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. ?

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

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

Not putting anything away after he has used it. {angry}

kittylester's DH sounds just like me.

When mine does anything useful around the house, I then get a blow-by-blow account of what exactly he did: "First I did this (HUFF." "Then I did that (PUFF)." "Then I did the other (SIGH)."
"Now I'm too tired to do anything else so I won't be doing the dishes after lunch today!" Grrrrr!

Mine doesn't have any as he is perfect - he told me so.

Dripping taps. I love him anyway though

Timetogo2016, mine rams the tops on things so tightly, I often have trouble opening them!

Turning on the bedroom TV in the morning when I'm still asleep and at night when I'm trying to get to sleep. Even more annoyingly, at night he usually falls asleep with it still on. I often wake up in the early hours to find the TV playing away and have to work out whether it is time to wake up or to find the remote and turn it off.

Procrastination, my husband ends up with a long list of jobs to do because he doesn't do anything straight away.
I grit my teeth and try not to get too annoyed as he is kind, helpful and very considerate especially when I'm not well.

Too much explanation. He is a tool maker and insists on explaining all his problems to me - if I use this thread then … or if I do that then… whilst I understand he wants to talk things through to get it straight in his head, why does he also do this to our guests who have no idea what he is talking about. I learned the difference between using two right hand threads and two opposite threads this morning over breakfast (are you keeping up), but please don’t ask me to explain it ?

I always call DH Mr NOT YET as he always leaves things until the last minute. Well, it turned around and kicked him last December. We set off after 5pm in the freezing cold to go to a christmas market which was 10 miles away. His car broke down. No problem as we are both members of the AA recovery. I phoned them and they said they would be there within half an hour. The whole thing packed up and it was minus 2 and getting colder. After one hour I phoned them back and they said that they couldnt come out as the tax had run out the day before. It’s his car but I kept saying to him to renew the tax and his answer was NOT YET!. So we had to abandon it and go home in a taxi to return the next morning after he had taxed it online. The whole taxing process took about 10 minutes and I was so annoyed. We missed the christmas fair but I had to have a hot bath to warm up. He wont do that again. Hopefully.

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.

Clearing his throat - every few minutes. It’s worse in the mornings, but it’s so loud that it makes me jump. He has Strepsils in the medicine cupboard, but does he take them ? - No!
I’m convinced he does it on purpose just to annoy me?

Oh and when I’ve cleaned and tidied the kitchen in the evening, he puts his yoghurt spoon in the clean washing up bowl and it’s still there the next morning, and we do have a dishwasher ( well 2 of them including me!)
Oops that’s 2 annoying habits not one, as asked for by the OP
I’m sure I have an annoying habit too, but it escapes me?

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

Blowing his nose loudly (think foghorn) every 10 minutes or so.

YES!!! Why do men do this???

Currently, it's when he asks me what I want for dinner every night when he's the one on the Slimming World programme and what we have needs to be suitable for him.

Though to be fair, one night I did say I really fancy fish and chips and he went to the chip shop and just bought one portion for me. What a hero ?

Dh never puts lids back on jars/bottles etc properly,the amount of times i end up with a lid/bottle top in my hand and the contents end up on the floor is un-countable.
He leaves taps running too.
I shall stop there as Christmas is due.lol

My DH says he is very good at washing up cleaning etc. He often takes little jobs on when I am out shopping or gardening.

He must do the dishes and toilet cleaning etc without his glasses on. My interpretation of clean and his are miles apart so I go over what he has missed out. I would sooner he just disappears into his man-shed and leaves me too it!
