I am going to put this here instead of starting another thread.
He brought home 2 cold use only tumblers! They are some funky ass material (fake ceramic plastic ). They can’t not go in the frig, microwave or. DISHWASHER. Nothing comes into this house that can’t go in the dishwasher. I told him to take the crappy things back to work. BUT They have his name on them. He wants to keep them. Cuz they have his name on them.
I hate work gifts.

Lol! My sister used to ask “why are you ticked at your dh”? I’d say “He woke up breathing!” Don’t get me wrong, I love him but some days every little thing he does drives me to distraction. We have a sign in our bedroom that says “I love you more than yesterday... yesterday you got on my nerves”. It’s true everyday.

Currently, DH is making me stabby over water and ice.
Ice: We recently had to replace our old refrigerator when it finally died the Big Death. The ice maker on it had not worked for years and we'd been buying bagged ice and HATED having to do that. With the new fridge, we finally got a working ice maker. YAY!
Well, the ice cubes taste funny according to DH. He goes out and buys an expensive water filtering gizmo to hook up to the water line and guess what? He still claims the ice tastes 'weird' (it doesn't). So, he's decided he's going to stick with the bagged ice. Are You Kidding Me?!?!
I am so unreasonably angered by this, I can't even.
Water: DH drinks tons of water. BOTTLED water. He also has to have his thermal tumbler completely filled with (bagged!) ice. Now, with so much ice in his tumbler, the whole bottle of water is too much. There is always about an inch or two left in the bottle. He puts it in the fridge. When he needs to refill, he gets a new bottle and - once again - has an inch of water left in it. The result? I have multiple bottles with 1 inch of water in them rolling around in the fridge. Drives me INSANE.
Oh, and he does the same thing with Coke cans. I'm always finding open cans of Coke in the fridge with only a swallow or two in them. Grrrr.
He does not understand why this bothers me. We've actually had some fairly heated arguments over it and he.will.not.budge.

He tidies up...I know that sounds like a good thing but he tidies away things I'm still using or am about to use.

He leaves the recycling on the draining board instead of putting it in the bin under the sink - because the bin will get full. So the recycling fairy puts it in the bin.
He will empty the dishwasher but will not move ANY thing already in a cupboard in order to put an item in its rightful place so a lot of the cooking pots and pans get left out on the counter for the dishwasher fairy to put away.
He will stack the dishwasher (incorrectly but the door is shut so I can’t see it and I can live with it) but it does not occur to him to wipe down the counters at the same time. So the counter fairy does it.
He will not move the two paces to the trash to put an empty packet in it but will leave the packet on the counter. By this stage the counter fairy has gone on strike and has been known to leave said empty packet there for three days until he gets the hint.

Sorry to laugh but it does sound a bit familiar My Dh is usually pretty good about dishwasher type duties but sometimes he will go into the kitchen after we've eaten, load our dirty plates, cutlery, knives, peelers, dessert bowls etc into the dishwasher EXCEPT for one saucepan. Why??

I'm in the heavy breathing camp too.
Constant sniffling. Grrrr! He has allergies but does nothing about it. Drives me nuts.
Has to say same thought at least twice, if not three times, but prefices it with, "to make a long story short...". Cant just answer yes or no without an excuse or long description.
If I ask him if he likes a clothing item, he goes into long description of material content and functionality. I don't care! Does it look good? Geesh!
Too many other little things to list. I can't help but be annoyed and it definitely affects us. He asks me what's wrong. I tell him, and he gets mad. Nothing changes. I'm trying not to annoyed and focus on the main qualities that really matter.😋

Talks constantly! He can't stand for there to be any silence. Every thing he does in the most important thing being done no matter what I am doing, I am supposed to drop every thing and help him. Leave his clothes in the floor where ever he takes them off. Kitchen, garage, bedroom etc..
Been married for 38 years and I wouldn't take a million dollars for him but wouldn't pay a nickle for one just like him!

I’ll preface this by saying we are now separated, so probably everything he does is annoying me at some level, but the worst is chewing loudly and grinding his teeth when he chews and also being super critical of everything i do in a passive aggressive way. “Oh, you’re wearing that sweater with those jeans?” (Since I’m already dressed, it would seem obvious that I AM.)

He treats the kitchen garbage like it's a rousing game of Jenga or Tetris....if he even bothers to throw anything away as he walks by instead of leaving it on the counter.

DH’s company gives them gifts at Christmas and I’m sure we have those exact mugs stuffed in the back of the cabinet. The fact that our house had a dishwasher when we bought it was more important than many things. I hate hand washing crap especially cups he’s going to leave in his truck with the last drips of coffee in them... for days. Also, how many years in a row do we need BBQ utensils with the logo carved into them. The first set was nice. Multiple sets, necessary? To everyone else, I’m pretty sure we’re ALL married to the same man. Lol. So much of this sounds familiar.

Puts dishes in the sink instead of the dishwasher Points obvious things out to me, like I am a child and don't know any better Makes noises with his mouth when he eats (only after getting an implant and doesn't want to ruin it ) Pretends he can't do things, so I won't ask.

He did this the other day and I swear I had to leave my body for a moment in order to avoid maiming him.
He was looking for one of his coaching shirts that he wears quite often. He wanted to wear it to a football game. So he finds it in the dirty laundry hamper, holds it up and says to me “huh...I haven’t worn this in about a month and it’s still here in the dirty laundry.”

His crap is not only more important, but waits until you start doing your thing and then demands help. AND THEN gets cranky because there’s no lunch/food made..... I love him, but I never want another one.

He will not wipe down counters. Milk drips, bread crumbs, anything left behind after dinner is served, etc. Just leaves it there to be wiped up by someone else (me). Claims he doesn't see it. BS. He won't bend over and put his dishes in the dishwasher, just on the counter above the dishwasher (which probably needs to be wiped down, if I haven't been by recently). Both of these were problems created by my MIL. She never made her boys clean up in the kitchen and patted them on the head for being such good boys when they'd bring the dishes to the kitchen. "Oh, let mommy load the dishwasher." Ugh! Laziness. Drives me nuts. I make our boys put their own dishes in the dishwasher even if I have to rearrange the 7 year old's efforts.
He's also a last second pee'er and has been left behind because of it more than once. I am done waiting on that. I announce a leave time and if you're wandering your ass into the bathroom at leave time, you'll have to drive separately. Pee time is 5-10 minutes before leave time.
He used to do the swallows of soda in the fridge bit until our DS spilled one everywhere while trying to help in the kitchen. I interrupted whatever DH was doing and made him come clean the sticky mess out of the fridge - real cleaning, not DH half-ass method. He stopped doing that.

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, “Yeah, I could eat a sandwich too”. Drives - Me - Nuts!!! Ha ha ha! Mine will wait until I get up to get myself a snack from the kitchen or an ice cream cone from the garage freezer, then when I come back to my chair will sit up with the puppy dog eyes on and his hand out to take whatever I got up to get for myself, so then I end up having to retrace my steps to get another. Seriously dude? You couldn’t have just said, “Hey, could you get me one too!”? This has happened so frequently that now I just ask before I even get up. But I should add to his credit, at least he stopped leaving empty food wrappers and boxes on the counter two feet from the kitchen trash instead of opening the cabinet and putting the stuff in the wastebasket. When I once asked him why he did that, he said it was so I would know he ate the last of something and to put it on the shopping list! Orrrr, you could just *WRITE IT ON* the shopping list... grrr. Thankfully he doesn’t do that one anymore because back in the day it would nearly send me into a murderous rage.

Our house also has a collection of fairies that go around completing all of the half done crap that would have taken two extra minutes at most to finish completely or correctly.

I'll be cooking in the kitchen and have lid on trash can open because as I cook I toss things. He will walk into he kitchen and close the can.............. I will walk over and open it AGAIN... He doesn't understand why I can't just open it each time. I am off on Fridays and sleep in. He will make his side of the bed with me still in it.

He tries to talk with me while I am on the phone with someone else. He gets upset when we are out to eat and his order is wrong or needs a drink refill but won't say anything to the server. He just complains about it to me. He always needs to empty the garbage just as we are headed out the door to go somewhere.
He drives me a little batty sometimes but I love him.

Points obvious things out to me, like I am a child and don't know any better. Oh for crying out loud this. This. THIS!!!!! That fact that I am capable of doing something twice a day, 365 days a year, for at least 10 years without mishap and he feels the need to offer me detailed instructions the only time I appear to get it wrong drives.me.to.a.place. that is not healthy for either of us.

making excuses for not looking or getting a job. 3 years. I'll give him a pass for 18 months of it (knee, workers comp case, his mother's court stuff). Fine - now go get a job. Instead, he's painted our house. By hand. With a roller. Not a sprayer (it's stucco) - a roller and a regular brush. It looks great - but when I mentioned the side entry doors I got Bambi in headlights look complete with double-blinking. Oh why did he HAVE to paint. Because he painted the trim 6 months ago and spilled it onto the stucco and our house looked like it had bad acne!
I just saw the Lowe's CC balance. He's thrilled he saved 5% on every bucket of paint. It's over $1000 ... and I'm the only one working.
I was told on Monday I need to do his resume if I want him to look ... to the moon I swear!
