I was telling my husband yesterday about our funny thread about what our spouses/husbands do that annoys us...and he said, "I'd like to know what those ladies do that annoys their spouses!" So I thought that might also be a funny thread. I'll start: I leave clothes piled on the chest at the end of our bed and sometimes on the floor if I think I might want to wear them again. But it gets out of hand, I admit it. He hates that. And I leave used tea bags on the counter. He really doesn't like that, either. So I try to toss them out. But sometimes I forget. What do you do?

interrupt him when he takes a pause in speaking. I've worked on it and am much better and waiting out the "silent pauses."

Probably that I don't sit with him often. I don't just sit and watch tv like he does, there are other things I want to do.
I do the laundry piles too, he probably hates it but doesn't say anything.

I leave my purse on the credenza by the front door and I know this drives him crazy. I really do try to put it away at the end of the day but it is a hard habit to break.
It also drives him nuts that I don't drop everything to answer the landline.
I know there are others, but those are the first two that came to mind.

Plenty, I'm sure! But he admits to little. I think he thinks it will lead to an argument, lol.
I know he feels I'm too rough w/things around our house, thereby causing him to have to fix things way too often. In the past 3 weeks alone, he has had to repair 2 vacuum cleaners, tighten the handles to my pots & pans and rehang my sliding closet doors.
It annoys him that I like to leave at least one inside light on all night. This includes the porch light, which he turns off when he's home.
It annoys him that I can't seem to leave the washer & drier free on Saturday mornings so he can do his laundry. I always seem to have a load lurking in there since Friday.
And lastly, it annoys him that I don't like him air drying after his shower, lol.

I am a blanket hog. We have started using two blankets at night and it has really improved our sleeping experiences! I also keep my feet on his lap when we watch tv and move them around until he gets the hint that I want a foot rub. He says I should just ask him instead of playing games.

That I keep putting his stuff away, where it actually belongs, imagine that. So, when he goes to look for his screwdriver (insert any tool here) on the coffee table, it's actually IN HIS TOOLBOX. Goes for all kinds of other stuff he leaves around the house. Drives me nuts. Me putting it away, drives him nuts. And so it goes......

DH gets annoyed when I try to talk to him when he's watching a movie or playing video games. But seriously. I gotta talk to him once in a while.

I talk a lot which interrupts his favorite past time of watching TV, he doesn't like my driving and I sometimes get really angry about things he thinks is unimportant (which of course just makes me angrier). He probably doesn't like that I nag him about doing things around the house but if he would do them the first 10 times I ask the problem would be solved so that's on him.

I don't cook often enough. He actually likes home cooked food and I am a terrible cook, but he always compliments me after a meal.
I smoke. So I am stinky most of the time.
I don't clean up after the cats hairballs quick enough. He can't stand our cats. The hairballs drive him nuts. He's constantly pointing them out to me.

When I lift something too heavy. When I stand on a chair to do something high up.
He does not want to have to call 911.

interrupt him when he takes a pause in speaking. I've worked on it and am much better and waiting out the "silent pauses." Oh, at first I was thinking "nothing, I am perfect" But I that is me. Sometimes DH takes the longest pauses and I start talking and he says "okay, I guess I'm finished now". Speak faster!

I don't mean to be, but I'm a terrible passenger seat driver. I do make an effort to not slam on the imaginary brake pedal on that side, but sometimes it just happens. It drives him crazy.

Leave dvds out of the cases a lot. I want the AC on a lot. I like to have our windows open both curtains and window itself for fresh air. He doesn't like it when I start cleaning when he's home. Tells me it makes him nervous lol. I can't sit still. I feel like I always need to be doing something productive. Sometimes I wonder if I gave adult ADD or something lol. I call people out on their BS if it's something that has to do with me or him. Clear example: few weeks ago someone cut in front of me at the store. I called her out on it and DH got embarrassed lol.

And I never want to pick where we go out to dinner.

Too many things to list all of them, but a few that come to mind are:
I criticize him - could be about anything, sadly. Most recently it was his persistent cough that he will not go to the doctor about and I am sick of hearing him cough through TV shows, and his hair sticking up like Bozo the clown when we were ready to go out someplace.
I leave things for other people to take care of, like dishes in the sink or clothes to be folded. Days go by and no one does it, and I don't either. When I get home from work I am very lazy.

I ask him too many questions. I guess I grill him about how his meeting went, or what the doctor said, etc... On the positive, I've gotten a LOT better than I used to be after he expressed how annoying it was lol.
I complain about his loud crunching and chewing sounds.

I hang my damp bath towel on the post at the end of the bed. My excuses are: I have to use the kids bathroom to take a bath because our bathroom only has a shower, the towel rack in our bathroom is full because DH hangs his clothes he's going to wear again on there, and I can't get our bathroom door open all the way because DH's dirty laundry pile on the floor is behind the door. DH hangs his wet towel over the top of the shower so you have to move it to get the shower door open so he's not totally innocent... So yes my damp towel hanging on the post at the end of our bed is his fault, if he'd just use a hamper like a normal person the problem would go away There are plenty more but I don't feel like writing an entire novel.

I take way too long to tell him a story. He wants everyone to just get to the point as quickly as possible, while I believe that it is all those little details that make the story more interesting. Poor thing. He's an engineer and just can't help himself! He also gets quite grumpy if everyone isn't ready to spit out their order immediately at the drive thru. I like to weigh all my options. He's convinced that the menu never changes and you should know what you want when you get up there. I agree with him at the Drive thru. If you need to consider all your options, go inside. That way you can stand back to let others be served while you are thinking about it. But in the drive thru you are blocking everyone else from getting served.

I'm sure lots of things, but those that immediately come to mind: Eat loud stuff like chips or Corn Nuts when he's not also eating them. Used to give away/dispose of stuff he never uses (I don't do that one anymore though). Leave mail piled up on the kitchen counter (but in my defense, it's HIS mail that he never looks through). I like silly stuff that he thinks is dumb, like Mickey Mouse memorabilia or Muppet wall decals. I don't come up with suggestions for what/where to eat, mostly because I don't care. He thinks I go too over the top on holidays and birthdays. (Okay, maybe the year I hid 150 candy filled eggs for Easter was a BIT excessive...) ETA: **GypsyGirl** reminded me that he thinks I add too many details to a story or joke. He too wants everyone to get right to the point without adding any of the pertinent facts. But yet when he's telling the "story" about the 9' sailfish in our livingroom (which is a total fabrication because he bought it off of a client's garage sale, LOL) I'm supposed to just let that one go! Yeah, whatever!

I'm sure the list is endless. LOL He leaves his side table near the couch completely cluttered with crap(which annoys me) and if I ask him to clean it and he doesn't do it in a timely enough manner for me, I get a box and stack all of the crap into the box and leave it on his spot on the couch. THAT annoys him. It annoys him that I call myself fat, which I am. It annoys him that I'll make a playlist of 20 songs and listen to it endlessly for weeks before changing it.
