Does your other half have a annoying habit or more than one and what is it?
My husband, although I love him dearly will insist on reading huge lumps out of the paper to me. Not just a couple of lines to make the point but if I don't stop him he will read me the whole article.
This is annoying in two ways a) If I haven't read it for myself there is no point now & b) If I have read it he never bothers to ask me first but goes straight into it.
I of course am perfect.
Leaving the television on when he goes to bed.
Not putting dirty plates away in the dishwasher.
oooh little bits and bobs he leaves lying around, screw drivers, pens etc
he's pretty good though, got him well trained now lol I just use 'the look', tends to work these days! 😉
never making the bed just pulling the covers over, does not know how to fold a towel, walks around the house in boots with dried mud on the top and saying the soles are clean. saying no rush when I getting ready but then two minutes later asks if I am ready. saying it was weeks ago when he put a shirt in the wash when in fact it was only two days ago and it is ready to iron.
now if I was to ask him my faults I am sure he could find loads, I cannot see that I have many but I am sure he would say I bother too much about the bed being made, I worry about the mud coming off his boots and is really that important. the towel will dry no matter what, he hates to be late anywhere and I should be ready on time, I should keep up to date with the ironing.
we all have things that annoy others, but some have more than others.
My hubby loves to lecture me on things he has just read in the paper, seen on TV or heard on the radio, usually when I am trying hard to concentrate on something else! But hates it when I try to tell him things when he is 'busy'.
Doesn't listen to anything I say, then claims I never told him things.
Loses important things & can't find them because he only does a "man's look" then I find them easily.
Doesn't open/check his post (I found a cheque in amongst his papers the other day but we can't pay it in because it is dated 2006!!)
Criticises me for failings which he doesn't realise he has himself!
But all said & done we've been together for over 30 years (married for nearly 29 years) and he's not going to change - he does have some endearing qualities too, so I guess I'll continue to put up with his annoying habits 🙂
Sometimes I ask hubby a question and he will not reply so when I promt him he will say, "I am thinking!" No matter how long the pause, it's always the same/ Drives me bonkers.
Folding towels, I like them corner to corner, he just folds them what-ever.

He will start a project/household task with enthusiasm, get all the tools out etc., and at some point before it's finished he will be diverted onto another, more urgent (to his mind!) task, and the first one never gets finished!
Mind you, the stuff I would like him to do never even gets started, usually because of the weather :confused:
I do suffer from the habit of starting and not finishing things myself, but in a smaller way, e.g. a sewing or jewellery project which has been abandoned and put to one side (I don't leave huge chunks of wall missing, and dust sheets all over the spare bedroom which have been there for seven years!!)
On the plus side, he is very tolerant of my foibles 🙂
No men have replied yet I see 😮

That's because our partners are perfect and never do anything that could be perceived as annoying. :rolleyes:

Exactly myarka, we are all just soooo great!!!!!!!! no me are.. honest
Not throwing food away. Suppose you have, say, two tablespoons of cooked rice left after a meal. Partner is unable to throw this away, but rather puts it in a little dish to be left (uncovered) in the fridge among dozens of other little dishes until it goes mouldy. Then it can be thrown away.
(I do a cull of the fridge a couple of times a week while partner is out)
whips orf with the car...doesn't tell me how long he's going to be...
(and yes he does know)
leaves the garage lights on all day..even when hes gone out (in car above), I am forever switching them off.
falls asleep early on settee hogging remote...then gets up very early in the mornings banging the doors!
and I bug him by leaving half finished cups of tea..
he cannot find the car keys when I've used the car because I don't put them on the key holder (wonder if I try to "hide" them on purpose? :D)
leaving the kitchen waste bin bursting to capacity so when i put something in i have to empty it , putting empty packets / jars back in the cupboard , and the worst one
'why have you got the heating on , you dont need it '
so i sit there and freeze whilst he turns the thermostsat down again ........
the one major thing my husband does that annoys me is this....
SNORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
