What does your DH or partner do that irritates the hell out of you?

I just read an article about men who chew their food loudly and how it drives their wives mad. Well it would me too.

This made me think that perhaps it wasn't just me who had a DH that has a VERY irritation habit.

I mean it's not disgusting or anything, just damned irritating. So much so that I have been known to swear when he does it or even put a pillow over my head...

The crime..

To wash his face in the en-suite.

He makes so much noise and splashes water everywhere he sounds like a baby elephant having a bath! I can just about take it at 7.00 am but he often has to leave very early and at 4-5 am I feel like murdering him! angry

Fills the fridge with cans of beer and various bottles of things so there is no room for actual food.

Pittcity that's hilarious - more so because i never finish a cup of coffee and always leave some in the bottom - must remember to tell my other half that excuse the next time he mentions it!

mrsmopp mine did that so I bought him a fridge for himself - it is in the garage. Find it useful when we have lots of visitors.

He leaves the door open. Every one he passes through, and then complains that he's cold!

Good idea Tizliz, but we have no garage. To be honest, it's so cold at the moment, he could keep it all outside the back door. Hidden in a recycling bin or the compost bin for example.

mrsmop yes I wonder why I have it switched on at the moment. But it would freeze outside up here in the Highlands. Tell your OH to get a man-shed, every man should have one!

"The hell" is a bit strong but it does irritate me that he doesn't screw lids on things properly. Mild grrr.

Completely ridiculous I know, but I have never known anyone who opens envelopes the way he does! Totally unimportant, but irks me!

Ah yes, the doors left open
The drawers left open
[sigh]

I think leaving a drop in the bottom of the cup could stem from the days when there used to be tea leaves in the bottom if their mum didn't use a sieve grin

Oh yes, phoenix, MrBags too re envelopes. So messy, apart from anything else!

Would be true Jalima except DH has never drunk tea!
