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. My whole family does that (constant eaters). I spend so much money on groceries!

He whistles. He's all happy and cheerful and whistling some lighthearted tune and I want to rip his head off. I despise whistling to begin with, but his whistle is not a sharp sound. It's like a leaky kazoo sound. And for the life of me I cannot bring myself to tell him I hate when he whistles, and how he whistles, and that I hate my life every single second he's whistling.

Right now? His breathing is making me irrationally mad. He has some sinus/nose stuff going on and he makes this strange noise every.time.he.breaths.

Mine is that he can't stop doing the dishes..... seriously if I'm out the kids will go to bed 45 minutes late because he can't do the dishes after they go to bed. Seriously. What the hell is the difference? And yes, I'm blessed that he even does the dishes, but he is one of those "the dish was dirty and in the sink for 30 seconds so I must drop everything to was them now"
Then he gets irritated when I'm home at 7:45 and the kids are watching the ipad so he can wash dishes.

He will pull the ring thing off a new gallon of milk and then leave the ring laying on the counter instead of throwing it away. And if he finished one gallon right before he opened the new one the cap from that one will be laying on the counter too. He rinses the empty gallon jug and puts it in the drainer to dry before it goes into recycling but the lid from the old and ring thing from the new gallon are left out - and odds are he walked right past the wastebasket with his glass of milk so it wouldn't be out of his way at all to toss them in the trash.

My whole family does that (constant eaters) When he is on vacation or has a holiday off he empties the cupboards! I buy a lot of food for when we go on trips. It's supposed to last for the entire trip. It doesn't last long at all! The kids sneak and eat it all on the way. Then there are crumbs all over.

It drives me crazy too! I try to not make noise like whistle, tapping, singing because I figure it annoys me, it probably annoys my family too. But when they insist on doing stuff like that, I am trying to find something to do to annoy them back! Even the dog barks all the time.

This makes me SO damn insane I might have lost my mind and screamed about something similar tonight. I believe my exact words were "your effing priorities are wrongly skewed!" OMG! Breathe! Then the whole fight in the morning because the children are tired and don't want to get up. How about you make putting them to bed your priority!?!?!

He clears his throat, quite a lot, just like his father always did. Sounds like he's about to give a speech. Yes!! Except it is kind of like he is a horse clearing his throat. He used to say it was because he worked at a place with a lot of powder and it dried out his throat. Ok, what is the excuse now that he does not work around powder? He made it a habit. And he clears his thrust after he picks up phone, then says hello. Why can't you clear the throat, then pick up phone?? The word them. He has no idea that the word those even exists. Look at them cars. Ummm No. And he wears crocs. He wears crocs.all.the.time.

These things are cracking me up because I can SO relate!! How about he constantly rubs one button on the remote for the tv. Rubs rubs rubs in circles. That button is the only one with the words rubbed off it. No idea why that gives me anxiety, but I want to grab it and throw it in the pool. Lol

When we are watching a TV show he is not particular fond of, he will reach over to his guitar and start strumming. Ummm, now I can't hear! and When he is driving and people in front of him are to slow to go from a green light, he will whistle, like they will hear him!
Oh, and when he does actually play the guitar, he doesn't know any tunes. He turns on the radio and thinks he is strumming along with the tune but he is so off. And he won't take lessons.

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! I am quoting myself to vent! I just went into the kitchen. I had made meatballs and I bake them in mini muffin tins. One muffin tin is washed and put on the side to dry. the other one is left in the sink. Why was only ONE washed! They both had the same foods and were cooked for the same time. So why can't they BOTH be washed

So many of these are cracking me up!
DH has the most annoying yawn in the world. It starts with a sharp, loud intake of breath with his mouth wide open and as he releases, he does this weird GUG GUG GUG sound that is completely unnecessary. We were at the symphony on Saturday and he yawned and was desperately trying to hold back the weird noise. So I know he can hold it back and chooses not to!

A few years ago, I was ordering multiple pairs of crocs. I really liked the pink ones with the gray plaid liners, but I did not really have anything to wear them with. DH made me get them because I liked them. I got the same ones in navy and in black. Well, the crocs came and guess who took over the pink ones! DH. I told him he could have the navy ones or the black ones, but nope...to this day he has only worn the pink ones. And he wears them all the time. Fortunately, he only wears them at home. One day I slipped hem on and he said, "Hey! You are wearing my shoes!" with the scowly brow and everything.

Well since I'm 4'10" & 85# and he's 6' & 250#, he gets a pass for changing the vehicle seat settings. He wouldn't be able to get in it if he didn't.

I get stabby when he leaves the room without turning the light off. If I say anything he gets defensive and says that he always turns the light off he doesn't know what I am talking about! Right, ok. He also breathes really heavily at times. It's irrational but it drives me crazy. And I'm about ready to throw his phone away, that is all.

Winner! This. Is. My. Pet. Peeve. I swear everyone in my family does this- the milk ring, the plastic around a new thing of ice cream, the top rip of part of a package. Asaahhhhhhhh! I told them when I find it it say to me a big "eff you" because they know I hate it and yet still can't manage to put it in the garabage. Some of my others: the sounds he makes when eating. No one else bothered me - he just eats loud- chewing, banging silverware onto plates... Emptying the dishwasher. He literally cannot put one thing away right. It's maddening because a lot of the items are not even close! So if you are looking for a certain lid - just forget about it. My dds will text me a random pic of a cupboard with some crazy ass this he has put there.

Ohhhh mine whistles too.. and it's always the same two tunes..... Now I finally figured out how to stop him. Every time he starts up I start singing The Brady Bunch song.. It pretty much shuts him up!!!

You guys are cracking me up.
Mine drives me nuts at bedtime. If he goes to bed before me, I will leave the light off when I come to bed and be very careful to make as little sound as possible. I'll gently crawl into bed, trying not to move the mattress too much. I don't want to wake him up. Why should he pay for me staying up later?
When he comes to bed later than I do: He turns on the overhead light. Starts a conversation that he expects me to participate in. Crawls over me to get into bed. Expects cuddles (not a euphemism.) And is mystified when I'm grumpy. Dude. Stop. Waking. Me. UP.

I have totally enjoyed reading all of these. It makes being single just a little bit less sucky. But this one, lancermom, would drive me over the edge. "The word them. He has no idea that the word those even exists. Look at them cars. Ummm No." I would end up having to correct him every single time he said it. I absolutely cannot stand it when people do that. And I would have corrected him the first few times he said it, then if it continued, I would feel like he was doing it on purpose, just to get to me. I crown you the winner for the most annoying thing.

My dh is a neat freak--except when it comes to the bathroom sink. He shaves and doesn't rinse the sink. The little hairs are all over the sink. It drives me so irrationally insane that one of my "must-haves" when buying a house was double sinks in the bathroom.
Seriously--he hates clutter, can't handle the mail left on the kitchen counter, wipes down the kitchen counters multiple times a day, re-loads the dishwasher if I put stuff in "wrong" but will leave little hairs all over the bathroom sink for days.

After washing his hands, he leaves the used paper towel on the kitchen counter. It's a gross habit his entire family has. It's been 26 years and I finally got it down to an occasional wad on the counter. It's still gross.

I'll share!
My husband lost about 100 pounds in the past year. I'm very proud of him. But I'm sick of hearing about it.
Today I wore a new pair of walking shoes to work and they hurt my feet a little because they needed to be broken in. After work he asked me about them and I said they were a little tight today. He immediately launched into his eating healthy spiel and how it would stop me from being swollen. I AM NOT SWOLLEN!
Before he went on his diet he looked like he was 15 months prego with triplets and literally had cankles. He would fall asleep standing up. Now that he's lost weight he talks non-stop about it - like some people I know who talk non-stop about being a Christian. Every conversation circles back to his weight loss. It gets on my last nerve!
I explained in no uncertain terms that I NEVER want to hear about his weight loss again and not to preach to me about it because I am not his responsibility and what I do is none of his business. BTW, we were on the verge of divorce after Christmas and decided due to financial reasons we would stay together - but lead separate lives.
The kicker is that I bought the new shoes so I could start walking and get some exercise. And I had just gotten home from the grocery store and was about to make a healthy dinner. He pissed me off so much I just went to bed at 7:00 pm. Dumb@ss!

Mine takes the dishes OUT of the dishwasher to wash them by hand so we don't have to run the thing. I know, how awful, a husband that will do the dishes BUT he NEVER washes any cutlery!!!!!! He refuses. So now I have a completely empty dishwasher and zero clean forks or spoons. I keep telling him that if he doesn't knock it off I will run that dishwasher as is with only cutlery in it

Thought of another thing that has been driving me crazy lately because for some reason he does it a lot - uses the word "simular" As in, that fork is simular to that spoon (as in - both dirty!!!)
Um hello. The word is SIMILAR!!!!! There is no frickin' U in it!! If you are going to use it in every 3rd sentence you say lately, then pronounce the damn word properly!!!!

Thank you, dear peas!! My married life just flashed before my eyes! I'll just pick one of the many I endured in 34 years. He loved to click the lock button on the car remote. Over and over. And over. If he was near the car, you could hear the locks unlock and lock back and forth. If he wasn't near the car, you still heard that clicking coming from his pant's pocket. Click. Click. Click. And of course, his key fob always stopped working quickly, then he would use mine. Which I would steal back. My remote to my 04 Chevy still works because that $&@$&@ clickerer is no longer around

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. Are we married to the same person? My husband's coughing is so loud I think I'm going to suffer hearing loss from being in close proximity to it. He refuses to take allergy meds because they make him "feel funny." Instead, his coughing announces his arrival everywhere he goes. Drives. Me. Nuts.
