This is in the category of irrational anger and certainly a 1st world vent. But if my DH doesn't stop reprogramming my key fob so that it sets to his radio station, chair setting, mirror setting, etc, I'm going to lose it. How hard is it to just drive the damn car? Put the key in, push no buttons, accept no changes, drive. Takes me forever to reset it and somehow he magically jacks it up every. single. time. He really is majestic in this area. He goes through 2 phones to my one because of this "force field" he claims he "doesn't know how" it happens. He always has problems with his computers because he can't stop fussing. I have forbidden him to touch my laptop. But the car... how stupid wll the divorce judge think I am when I'm like, "Ma'am, he wouldn't stop resetting my car seat and moving my mirrors. And he made me listen to sports radio for 2.3 seconds before I could change the radio station!" I swear, in my imagination, she'd slam the gavel can declare it ALL in my favor! I'd have full sole custody, child support beyond any formula and he'd have to buy me a new house with a butler! Right??? RIGHT? Gah! What's your irrational complaint? **2peas disclaimer, I know, I know all DH's are perfect.. I know, I know that if he was gone I would miss him and feel silly about this complaint. I know. That's why it is irrational and I put it here. Now, be irrational with me.  |

I can be irrational...
When he brushes his teeth he just lets the water run and run and run.. Drives me insane... so much waste... he could even turn it down to a small trickle.. but noooooooooooo
I could go on but I will just leave it at that.
I have to say at least you have a fancy car compared to mine.. I don't have all that fancy programming... lol

Irrational...his breathing bugs me, lol. There has to be something wrong with him because I literally can hear him breathe and it's just him because I have 4 kids living here and none of us our loud breathers. And there's actually a name for it - for the irrational sounds bug you thing  |

He slurps his coffee. It gets on my nerves. He will make his coffee, start walking, and take these loud, long slurps. Like nails on a chalkboard...

DH has had this wracking cough accompanied by post-nasal drip for most of the winter. He tends to have sinus problems year-round but this is beyond that. He had it once in the fall, it went away briefly, but is now back. He's been to our PCP, seen the PA there, who told him it just needs time. I suggested seeing an ENT, an allergist or even a naturopath but he will not, and is just normalizing it. He refuses to see the ENT because he saw one a couple of years ago.  It's my contention that when an illness hangs on forever, it needs to be attended to, your body is out of whack and changes in diet etc. need to be looked at. So it makes me irrationally angry that he would rather have this wall-shaking cough then get it looked at. I'm sure this is related to his doctor, needle etc phobia. |

My DH is pretty fricking awesome. As in I always feel bad when friends talk bad about their husbands because I actually like mine.
BUT...
OMG turn the flipping light off when you leave a room!
HOW do you chew crunchy things so damn LOUD?!
(If you really want to hear me sound like a petty spoiled brat)
When he makes the bed I would like him to turn the top sheet over the top of the comforter. And when he turns down my side of the bed at night, he is forever stacking up the wrong pillows for me to watch TV on. I want a memory foam pillow on the bottom then a fluffy pillow on top. Not two fluffy pillows.

That's why it is irrational and I put it here. Now, be irrational with me. Can your DH reset the chair & mirrors without programming the key fob? Mine isn't tied to the fob, so I'm not sure how yours works, but there is no way I can drive the car with DH's settings and he can't drive with mine, so we always have to reset. My biggest complaint about DH is he CANNOT put anything in the garbage. He can move whatever it is to the counter by the garbage and I'm 100% sure the same time/distance/effort was involved in moving said item to the counter as directly to the garbage.  |

My dh has 8 billion wonderful qualities, BUT he puts things near where they go, not where they go. Sets a bag with toothpaste and toothbrushes outside the closet where they go for example.

He clears his throat, quite a lot, just like his father always did. Sounds like he's about to give a speech.

Mine has three that drive me nuts.
1. He clicks the battery cover of remotes continuously while watching tv. I have even resorted to taping them shut to stop him.
2. He cannot go in the kitchen without filling the counter with stuff from the cupboards. ARGH! He says he was looking or something in the cupboards, but it is no harder to put the item back than to put it on the counter.
3. He will put garbage on the counter because it will take up too much room in the can and then he will have to take it out. He will even take large garbage OUT of the can and put it on the counter. EWWW!
In all fairness, he takes out all the garbage. And I never have to clean the toilet as he thinks I should not have to do that. In fact, he cleans the bathroom in general.

Mine used to do that when he used my keys. We both had key fobs for the same car. The fobs had an off button on the back. If you turn it off, the changes do not store. |

He gets up first and leaves for the office before I do. In the hour or so it takes him to get ready he manages to turn on every single light in the house. I have to spend the last 3-5 minutes of my getting ready routine going around and turning off every light. The worst part is that he teases me and says I have turned into my dad! Grumbling and muttering about the electric bill as I turn every switch.

This reminds me of the time this past summer when I got into the car and all the settings had been changed on the car and I thought I was going to do DH serious bodily harm. The door setting for key fob #2 (my fob) was changed to his setting (his fob is #1), the rear view and side view mirrors had been adjusted, the air conditioner temperature and fan speed was changed, and the radio station was changed to a golden oldies station I absolutely hate. What almost put me over the edge? He did all of that because .....wait for it....he backed the car out of Garage. That's it. Moved the damn thing, what? 15 ft? And had to change every freakin thing! Gah. |

OP, I'm not sure that's an irrational anger you're experiencing. I would be really annoyed if my DH reset everything in my car every time he got in it. I'll accept that on the odd occasion he drives my car, I'll have to fix the seat and rear-view mirror, but my car is older and there's nothing on the key fob that would be reset other than the ignition.
Sounds super irritating.

If we drive anywhere locally he will turn off my music to 1) "did the car just make a weird noise?" 2) listen to sports talk radio. All year long and he only actually likes football, so half the year he isn't even interested in what they are talking about... I will have music on, I'll get out of the car to run a quick errand that he doesn't need to get out of the car for, and he'll change the station to stupid sports radio.
We don't have settings on our keys (old cars) so I have to adjust my seat and mirrors by hand...

My DH is an 90%er.
He will do things to 90% completion.
I typically get home before him so I start dinner and he cleans up. I clean as I go and make sure what I use is soaking if it is for prep.
He will wash things but almost always leave one thing sitting on the counter or the stovetop. Or it will be put away but the countertops full of crumbs. Or hand wash things placed so on top of each other that moisture sets in and nothing ever dries.
In the bathroom in the morning he will always leave at least one thing out, be it his razor or a q-tip or his toothbrush, the counter is never empty. 90%will be put away but never all of it.
Makes me nucking futs!

He is one of those men who likes to race the flush (he will flush before he is doing peeing.)
Watch more than one show at a time and keep flipping back and forth between the two.
He HAS to have the computer chair a certain way, and keeps adjusting it, which is loud and why I'm pretty sure why we have had every single chair he uses end up breaking in a similar fashion.
He puts crap in the space between our dressers, like a scrunched up duffle bag. It is his idea of putting it away.
Folds clothes while sitting down on the floor and actually can cause more wrinkle issues because of how he folds pants while he does so. Also puts clean dish towels on the floor while he's folding. I don't want a towel that has been on the floor drying clean dishes.
When drinking he pours the liquid in his mouth, like the bottle, can, or cup doesn't always touch his lips.

He says my name a million times a day. He'll say it and I'll respond, but he doesn't actually have anything to say. He just wants to make sure I'm paying attention. I suppose someday I'll miss that, but today is not that day.

Mine is a slop ass. He spills his coffee and juice on the table every morning. Enough so that the cup and glass stick to the table. Yes, he should carry them to the sink, but it's less mess to wipe off the table than it is to mop the floor after he drips across the kitchen. |

Along with leaving lights on and putting garbage on the counter instead of the trash mine will say "hi" or "hello" multiple times a day even if we've been in the house together all day long. |

Everything in the pantry has a place. I'll be carrying something to put it away, open the pantry door, and he's put something else in that thing's place. Drives.me.crazy. He knows the damn crock pot belongs where he put the water, so why in hell did he put it there? Grrrr. I'm going to make labels for the shelves. Big labels. HUGE labels  Maybe he'll see them. |

I started putting the talk radio he likes, NPR, on so we don't have to hear music and I don't have to hear tapping. It really makes me not enjoy car trips because I don't like tapping. I sing in the car when I am by myself, I never do it when others are in the car. I know that would really annoy them. I agree about listening to people eat. It's not the chip eating that bothers me, it's quieter food like when he (or I) eat bread. |

Mine really is a great guy, buuuuuut, he is a constant snacker. I always tell my sister that he is going to eat us out of house and home before I even get the groceries put away!!
And flipping channels...I can't even cope. I have to tell him to pick a channel and stay there. It drives me crazy.

DH will load the dish washer and put the soap in but never starts it! The next morning I open it expecting clean dishes but I am always greeted with dirty ones. He says it is loud when it is on so I suggest he turn it before bed, but he never remembers. Very annoying!

Haha, he also wants us to ask "what" so he says "wow" or something like that and waits for us to ask what. Instead of just telling us! He also starts to tell us something, then takes a long pause to take another bite (if we are eating) or does something else to distract himself. He reminds me of Obamba because he seemed to do the same thing. I want to say "tell us what it is". He wants to be dramatic about it! haha! Then there is me with no patience, so I can't stand the wait. I want to hear what he wants to say though! |
