Okay, I'll start.
Asks me to come find something then finds it right when I get there.
Refuses to put on his seatbelt until the alarm has dinged at least a few times.
Announces loudly "Telephone!" when the phone rings.
Insists on going to the pharmacy every single time we get an automated call (half the time we've already picked up the med).
Complains I don't answer my cell phone but if he's at work he often ignores my calls (and I only call him maybe once a week or less).
Comes in the bathroom when I'm on the toilet (we don't have a lock; THAT'S changing in the next house).
I know there's more, but it's a start. What are those little things that make you want to spit nails?

DH should wear bifocals. He tried progressives a few years ago, and hated them. He hasn't ever tried actual bifocals, I don't think. The constant on off on off with his glasses makes me crazy.

He canât hear but he insists he can hear. He even has hearing aides but doesnât wear them. If I complain he tells me that Iâm the only one he canât hear yet the tv is up incredibly loud, the kids repeat to him also, and he constantly answers the waiters/waitresses questions incorrectly. Donât get me started on the snoring... he has a coal machine and I told him to use it. He insists he doesnât snore. He did a sleep study but he said that the doctor just gave it to him but he doesnât need it.

Yeah, the seatbelt thing. He waits until we're on a busy road or turning a corner to put the stinking thing on. And the barging into the bathroom thing. It brings back memories of when the kids were toddlers. Also: He makes sure I always have to wait for him. If he is ready to go somewhere before I am, he starts a task and then when I'm ready to go he insists on completing it so I end up waiting. If we're taking a trip, he discovers that he's forgotten something important (like his insulin) when we are at least 30 minutes down the highway. I work from home several days a week and he thinks that I am available to visit any time (he is retired and a little bored). He even put a chair for himself in my office and gets offended if I put anything on it. He is a good man, but sometimes I just want to scream. Of course, I am sure I never irritate him!  |

Actually it's him and his parents and siblings. They have this gross habit of leaving used paper towels all over the kitchen counters. It's so gross. I don't know what they think they will do with them but you will find them on his mother's counters, his sisters', and at our house. He's gotten a lot better from when we first got married but I still catch towels here and there.

He breathes when he eats. And now he breathes heavy when he gets out of bed Plus his jaw clicks now. I could absolutely murder him with the closest blunt object on that one. |

This made me laugh. I SO know what you mean. There are times hubby's breathing makes me want to smack him. Particularly when he does this thing where every exhalation is a blow, like he's blowing out candles. And then there are those days when ANY breathing from him grates on my nerves. |

Mine is hard of hearing and wears wireless headphones when he watches tv. Iâm greatful for that part because he can mute his shows so I donât have to hear them. BUT. If I want to go in and ask him something, I yell his name, he looks at me as if what? Then I proceed to ask/tell him something and he says wait, I canât hear you. Then I say it again after he turns down the headphones. Youâd think Iâd have learned by now. Sometimes I remember and just stare at him till he turns them down but I guess I just figure heâs done it when heâs looking at me in an expectant manner. Drives.Me.Crazy!

I've posted this before, but I will ask him...
Me: Are you hungry?
Him: What time is it?
Me: What difference does that make? Are you hungry right now?
Him: I don't know, what time is it?
Me: We are not on any schedule, we eat when we are hungry. Now are you
hungry or not?
Him: Well, what time is it?
I finally give up and go into the kitchen and start to make a sandwich and he says, âYeah, I could eat a sandwich tooâ.
Drives - Me - Nuts!!!

Absolutely nothing, he's perfect.
False! As I age, I like to have a lot of light to help me see. He keeps turning off the lights. He DVRs Mad Money and falls asleep every single night, so I get to watch or listen twice.

Plans to go somewhere. I get ready, get keys and purse, head toward to the door. He stands up and detours to the bathroom. Every single time. Like he didnât know he had to pee in the time I was getting my coat on and shutting off lights. I sit in the car and fume while he takes his sweet time. He canât understand why I get so irritated.

now that he has retired.. somehow can't put dirty dishes in right sink or on right side.. or even maybe put in dishwasher.. and unload it if it is clean. or instead of emptying the recycle bin under the sink.. or check if he can put recycling in it.. takes a paper bag and starts a new stack of recycling. can cook, doesn't volunteer to cook. but he is super busy in his retirement and he walks the dog all the time when home... still love him anyway...

He coughs and hacks so loud like a really old man (he is 60). He smoked in the past and I worry there is something truly wrong, He says it is allergies but won't take anything for it.
He leaves cabinet and closet doors open. At least he puts things into the cabinets and closet, but leaves the doors open.
He mispronounces words and gets mad when I correct him.
Almost 40 years together. Gotta love him anyway!

Well since you asked... I will be complaining about something and he'll hijack the conversation and go off on a monologue about something else in HIS day. Let me have my rant, then you can tell me whatever for twenty minutes when I'm done!
I'll ask him to do something and 99% of the time he turns right around and assigns it to the kids. If I wanted the kids to do it (or have it done badly because he doesn't follow up to see if it was done right) I wouldn't have asked him to do it!
He also wants a hug, that is not a euphemism for something else, he really "needs" a hug, while I'm writing. Then complains I haven't finished writing my novel yet... I think the next time he does this, which is at least once a day, that I'm going to throw something at him.

He drums on his desk. He brings work home with him and will sit at his desk and drum against the desk with his wrists. It drives me nuts.

Almost every time we are just about to go out, he suddenly has to poop. He leaves his dirty clothes on the foor NEXT to the laundry
Basket and he snores and wakes me up several times a night. He is also a very good man who would do anything for me and anything for his friends. đ

We have a spoon rest on the stove - he lays the spoon or other utensil on the counter next to the stove because he doesn't want to get the spoon rest dirty. Then I end up having to clean up the counter.

His snoring can be annoying, especially when he's laying on his back watching something on his tablet and falls asleep...and wakes up to restart the video multiple times before falling back asleep.
I swear he fells the need to come into the room where I am, whenever he needs to blow his nose...loudly...
He is not a quick talker and then feels the need to have every detail absolutely correct, even if it doesn't matter much to what he's talking about.

I know this isnât really what you mean. But. Every morning he gets his ass in the kitchen and messes around with the dishwasher. Which would be really sweet except he is really in the way. Iâm packing lunches and getting ready for the day and he is standing around drying the silverware with a towel, in front of the sink, right where I need to be. But I would never ever let him know that because I donât want him to stop coming and doing the dishes in the morning.
