1. Knows we're leaving the house at a certain time and decides to get on the phone, feed the cats, shower, etc 10 minutes before we're scheduled to leave. Every time we leave the house, I'm tense and annoyed because I'm a stickler for being on time.

Loads the dishwasher, puts the soap in and then fails to push the start button! Then in the morning I go to unload and find the same dirty dishes. Happens at least once a week. I don't say too much because then he stop doing dishes all together, which may be his evil plan all along...

Triplets?
typical conversation:
Me: are you ready
DH: yes
I get my coat / jacket look around can't find DH - he's in the bathroom brushing his teeth or maybe in the basement folding his clothes or possibly in the garage checking the lawnmower to see if it needs gas.....

I can get 4 kids and me ready and out the door by 8:00 on weekdays, we can't get out the door before 10:30 on weekends. The only change: DH is home.

When he only make half the bed in the morning because he does not want to disturb the cats (but it's ok for me to disturb them when I make the other half when I get home)
When he says he is going to do laundry--what he means is he will put the clothes in the washer and that's it.

We had our home on the market (sold, yay!) and the few times he was home while we were getting ready for a showing he would irritate the snot out of me.
My priority was always to de clutter, and clean. Him? He would use that time to deep clean the garage. Or he'd help the boys clean their room, but deeply. Like get everything out from under your bed. Gah! I would tell him that now is not the time for a deep clean. It's about making it look clean, having it de cluttered, staging it. The deep cleaning happens a different day.
I love that man but it was better for both of us if he wasn't home, lol.

Criticizes my driving. He is so smug thinking he is a better driver than me. Seriously, it's the only way in which he asserts his superiority.

Is too much of a perfectionist. Sometimes I sit at the dining room table for five minutes waiting for him to perfectly mold his rice mound on his plate. When he empties the dishwasher all of the plates have to be lined up perfectly, when he sends a bill in the mail the stamp has the be perfectly square and when he hangs up the towels they have to be perfectly even. It drives me nuts because kids are in our future and they are messy, they are going to disrupt his perfect, clean life and he needs to accept that fact or else he's going to spend all of his time cleaning. No one on their death bed wishes they spent more time cleaning.
I love that he is neat and tidy, but there are times when he seriously goes overboard. His mother is the same way, I feel like I'm visiting a museum when I'm at her house.

Yeah, that exactly! Easter Sunday I told him we are eating at 1:00, at 10:00 a.m. he decides to go to the shop and work. I said remember lunch is at 1:00.
At 1:15 after everyone has arrived and is waiting on lunch, he runs in from the shop and heads to the shower. I did NOT wait lunch on him.
He also snores really loud sometimes!

Won't get up to let the whiny annoying dog out ten minutes before his alarm is going to go off and he has to get up anyway. NOOOO. Can't do it. So then *I* get up so the whining won't escalate to noisy, incessant barking which will wake up DD (who will then be crabby all morning), only to discover when I get back up to my bed that the alarm went off and NOW he's up. Now that I won't been able to fall back asleep. And then *I* will be crabby all morning... (And yes, it happened AGAIN today!)

I solved that problem years ago. Now if we need to leave at 5pm I tell him we need to be out the door at 4:30pm. Works like a charm.

I'll add a few, all kitchen related  : 1. Drives me nuts when he stacks empty food packaging with the dirty dishes instead of putting it in the garbage. 2. Puts an open bowl of leftovers in the fridge instead of putting it in a closed container. 3. Doesn't wrap cheese when he opens it and puts it back in the fridge. I must be getting to him on this one though, because I was looking for the smoked gouda the other day and I knew there was no way he could have eaten it all. He tossed it in a bag of something else already in the fridge. |

says "hey want to go somewhere" I say "yes", grab my phone and purse and am ready to head out the door.
Then he runs to bathroom, or feeds the dogs, or changes clothes, etc...Now is now, let's go.

-corrects my driving ("get past this guy... seriously... change lanes to get past him" and yes, I have pulled over and told him to drive more than once) -starts a new bag of milk and insists on leaving empty bag in sink and little corner plastic triangle that needs to be cut off on counter<-obviously a Canadian thing (sink is actually *further* than garbage) -leaves dirty clothes on the floor beside the hamper -leaves clean clothes on the floor beside the hamper -comes upstairs and says "did you wash my trackpants"... "yes, they were on the floor".... "yah but they weren't dirty" -refuses to get a haircut cuz he is too busy.... then insists I cut with nail scissors - so it gets shorter but never thinned out. my dh is sporting a bob right now -doesn't remember conversations that don't matter to him, like flat out denies it over happened
however......he has so many good qualities, I will hang on to him!!! I think I am a pretty lucky lady. he is a great dad, tells me I am beautiful all the time and does everything he can for us. now if he would just get that haircut! |

I feel bad even posting this because it's such a little thing are really about the only thing my DH does that gets on my nerves. He leaves the dish cloth in a nasty, sopping wet pile in the sink instead of wringing it out and laying it to dry.
Other than that, he's a dang near perfect house mate.

Starts talking about work and explaining all the technical details of what he does. He's working on software development and implementation right now, and I don't understand any of it. Nor do I care to. But I nod and say, "uh huh" at the appropriate times.

Never. Puts. Anything. Away.
And when I get annoyed and complain, he says, "I was going to do it later. " I joke that if I left him to his own devices, by the end of 6 months, everything we own would be out on the counters.

When -- after 35+ years, he KNOWS that I am a super light sleeper and that I go through horrible bouts of insomnia -- I finally fall asleep and it's before normal bedtime, he stands over me and whispers, "Are you really asleep?" Not because he needs me for anything, but because he wants to "check" that I am asleep.  One of these days I am going to go ninja on his ass. |

....just HAS to come in and tell me (CHOOSE ONE: an important update about a part he just bought for his motorcycle; news about the Yankees; a funny story his friend Jerry shared with him) during the last five minutes of a movie I just invested two hours in. I'm convinced that my husband has radar when it comes to me and TV watching. I can be watching a show and need to rewind because either I didn't catch what was said, or I forgot who they were talking about and as soon as I get to the part I need my husband comes up stairs (usually it is between periods of the hockey game) and wants to tell me something. It has now become a funny joke between us |

Goes on and on and on and on about cars and trucks. He's a gear head, so he's into everything about cars and trucks. He discusses them with me at length, especially in the car because seeing something on the road will trigger the conversation. After 17 years, its kind of old, especially because I really have no interesting in talking about it in that much detail that often.
So much so that one day we were driving and he saw a Range Rover turning in front of us and he went on his "over priced, a fortune to maintain, blah blah blah" rants (he's a Chevy guy) and then he said "Just give me a Traverse and I'll be fine," and I shot out with "Just give me some duct tape." And it was awkwardly quiet for a few minutes, and the silence was broken with "Ah HA HA. Very funny!" It took him a minute to figure it out because he was wondering what duct tape had to do with Range Rover or a Traverse. LOL
The only other thing that drives me crazy about him is that anytime I make plans to do things, and he tags along, my plans turn into HIS plans, and I never get to do what it is that I want to do. |

On other small thing (and these things are small and don't really effect either of our lives) but he will never put his laundry when I bring it upstairs, but when we go on vacation and are only going to be there a few days--he HAS to unpack and put his clothes in drawers.
