I'm sure he could name a million but off the top of my head: 1 don't talk enough. He talks constantly about boats. Constantly! There is no getting a word in edgewise.
I walk too fast. He has trouble with his feet and can't keep up.
I don't shut the front door completely! We installed new weather stripping and you have to pull the door really hard to get it to close completely and I always forget.

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. Holy cow, woman! What the heck are you doing to all your stuff?? I plead the fifth.

Apparently I put the kettle in the 'wrong' place. I am left handed and put it down handle to the left, spout to the right, IYSWIM. It drives him mad.

Ohhhh so many things He's ADHD and I'm not. So I'm the one that leaves my clothes in piles or in the chair. I'm the one that dumps and runs when we get busy.

I snore. I steal the covers at night. I like to have the last word, even though it isn't intentional, sometimes. LOL.

We'll get ready to eat dinner, get plates out, utensils etc.. sometimes I have to go to the dishwasher i'll proceed to unload it or clean if it needs be, before we we eat. He'll usually make me stop. LOL. We don't have kids. But I do have to stop myself sometimes. I just like to get things out of the way. Other than it's just the lights thing but I've tried to get better at that too. I don't like to be in the dark so sometimes I forget.

I give him advice before empathy. And it's a double whammy because usually it gets spiritual. I know that's the last thing he wants to hear when he vents about how his day went.

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.

I love the soft light of lamps and my DH prefers the direct light of overhead lights. It drives him nuts when I turn on the lamps in a room so I can turn off the overhead light I'm sure there are more things that I do that drive him nuts, but he's really great at not letting on!

I was going to start the same thread! It's only fair, they probably have as many complaints about us as we do about them!
My husband gets so annoyed because I check everything before we leave the house, and make him check too!

I bring water glasses and tea cups up to my desk/craft area and never remember to bring them back down. Eventually he'll go to make tea and wonder where half of our cups are and come upstairs, rolling his eyes, to collect all of my cups.

He's very polite and wouldn't answer this question, but I can tell I annoy him when I:
Leave a light on when I leave the house. I don't like to come home to a dark house.
I buy too many books. I can't help it.
He hates seeing yet another Amazon box arrive.
I have a LOT of product in the shower/tub. Who knows what shower gel I might be in the mood for?
Making social plans without giving him loads of notice. It's okay if he does it to me but not e other way around. Lol

I take up the whole couch. My family jokes that I'm just like Sheldon Cooper because I'm very particular about my spot on the couch. And I sit sideways, usually with my cold toes tucked under DH's butt.
I require a lot of pillows. Not a big deal at home, but we have to battle when we travel.
I'm a terrible back seat driver. Mostly, I just drive everywhere to solve this one.
He hates how I dawdle in Target (or any store). He thinks you should get what you need and get out. I think you have to explore a little.
I'm sure there are plenty more, but he's smart enough not to tell me about them!

Sometimes I put my cold feet on him

Well I thought it was nothing so I asked him just to confirm. I was wrong . He said he hates it when I bitch at him about his driving. I told him I'm just trying to stay alive.

I have my piles of stuff that he sees as clutter. I never load the dishwasher correctly. I'm lazy because I hate doing housework on Saturday. If he decides Saturday is the day to,get chores done, I don't really help because that's my rest day. I hate talking on the phone and make him call to order stuff. I could keep going and going and going--but I don't want you all to think I'm a terrible person!

I buy snacks that i don't eat and he ends up eating. I'm like that little girl from the movie signs leaving cups of water everywhere. I've improved some now that i have kids, but it's a bad habit of mine to forget i was drinking something.

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. Okay, with the fat comment, I have to say something to you. I do the same thing myself, however, I have 3 impressionable girls and I have really been trying to reign it in. I see that you have 2 girls. How would you like it if they said the same thing about themselves? I have been around the board long enough to know, you have been working on being healthier. You need to give yourself way more credit. Don't put yourself down if for no other reason than I know you wouldn't want your children to put themselves down either and you want to set a good example for them! _____________________ To add to that, I had a boyfriend I was with for many years said it when I talked down about myself, such as calling myself fat, I was indirectly telling him that his choice in women sucked. He thought I was beautiful and my degrading myself sent the message that his idea of beautiful was invalid. I have never said another bad thing about myself in front of anybody I was dating since then. It really stuck with me.

interrupt him when he takes a pause in speaking. I've worked on it and am much better and waiting out the "silent pauses." This is totally us! A 1-2 second pause, fine. I can wait. But anything longer is just an invitation for me, lol. This one. However, I always counter, "Is this a conversation or a lecture?".

Oh, this is us. He pauses, and i think it's (finally! ) my turn, and he claims I'm interrupting, and I'm all "But you stopped talking!!".

I always want him to drive. But really, he's a great driver. Not as fast as me but he gets us where we're going and I can close my eyes and relax. He would love that option, but he doesn't like my driving.
I chew my nails and the sound drives him crazy. I wish I could stop, but the second I get the littlest bit of anxiety, there I go.
I won't let him rearrange the kitchen cabinets to the way that he knows is right. I tell him if he starts cooking and emptying the dishwasher, I may change my mind. He's always moving stuff I need to the top shelf where I can't reach it. He's 6'1 and I'm 5'6, so his way doesn't work for me. Plus he gets annoyed that I store my purse and shoes on the step stool so I don't use it to reach.
I'm pretty sure I'm difficult to live with, but he tells me how much he loves me every single day, so it's all good.

Plenty, I'm sure, but off the top of my head - He hates it when he gets interrupted with anything he is watching. He has to be totally engrossed in whatever it is and if I say one word, he will miss a word and have to rewind it so he hears it right.
He hates it that I turn off the lights that he leaves on because he "is going right back in there." Then 2 hours later, the light is still on. He may or may not have gone back, but he just doesn't turn the light off ever.
He hates it when I am sitting/lying next to him that I can't be still. I have dry skin. I have to scratch. It annoys him.
He hates that I don't thoroughly rinse the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher. His mother pretty much washed the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher and just used it as a sanitizer. I refuse to do that. I do rinse, but not to his liking, apparently.
He's pretty good at overlooking my faults, though. I guess that is why we are celebrating 30 years in May!

Whenever he asks me where I would like to go, I usually say, "I don't care, you choose!" Lol I'm horrible at making decisions, and it's true- it doesn't matter to me where we go, I'm happy with anything! And he's not, so he should decide! But it really annoys him when I say that I have cold feet in bed and sometimes stick them on him to warm them up. I don't like talking on the phone, especially to strangers, so I always have him make the calls or answer the phone when he's here, unless I can see that it's someone I know. Sometime's I correct his driving. I try to only do it when it seems our lives are in danger, LOL! He hates it. Yet, when he misses a turn or has to slam on his brakes for a stop sign, he says to me, "why didn't you tell me?!" Can't win! Haha edited to say... I guess I'm pretty annoying to be married too!! I could have written this word for word. Are we twins separated at birth?

Dh says that I do things in the most words possible! I just like to talk to people!
I flew last week and started talking to this lady at the airport shuttle counter. Because, why not! Turns out she lives 5 minutes from my brother. So I told dh, "I was chatting with this lady at the airport" and he interrupted me and said, I would be disappointed if you weren't!

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. I do that, except next to my dresser. Drives him nuts. He does some of the laundry, so he's never sure if it's ready to be washed or not. I also start craft projects and leave them unfinished. Guilty. And I might start cleaning projects and run out of steam, leaving them half done. He loves me anyway. Eta: I put papers in piles. Drives him batty. But I know exactly what's in a pile and can find things quickly.
