OK, I know we all love them to pieces but there must be the odd little thing that annoys you about your partner.

What got me thinking about this is my husband's aversion to using the dishwasher. It's driving me and the kids mad. He even unloaded the half full dishwasher today and washed it up!! He says he doesn't mind washing up and he'll happily do it all. But of course I'd feel guilty if I let him do it all so I just have to help.

What is wrong with him?? And I don't want to hear that I should be grateful, blah, blah, blah.... etc etc!

Anyway, what little foibles do your partners have that drive you mad?

He's a tinker isn't he! slam his fingers shut in it next time he goes to take something out!

He's a tinker isn't he! slam his fingers shut in it next time he goes to take something out!

Yeh! Then he won't be able to do the washing up!

The dishwasher is one of Mr F's major downfall's - he just cannot pack it right!! His way of packing it up takes 2 loads to wash - my way takes one load. :wallbash:
How many times have I showed him and how many times have I unpacked and re-packed in his presence?? I don't knwo - but I guarentee it is more time than Winston Chruchill had hot dinners!!

Gooooood Topic... I could go on forever!! No I couldn't actually... my hubby is great :wub:

The thing that annoys me most is when he refuses to sit on the toilet and talk to me when I bath!

The only majorly annoying thing I can think of that bugs me about Mr H is that he is not one of lifes "finishers".

He's is superb at spotting exactly what jobs need to be done and he is great at getting them started. But unless the job can be started and completed in the same day, he gets bored and leaves it. 9 out of 10 times, I end up finishing the job for him, but when it is something that I can't actually do, I have to resort to nagging (as he likes to call it) until he gives in for the sake of a quiet life. And I hate being like that!

But from now on I think that I'll just call in a professional to finish the job. And pay him out of the joint account! :laugh:

I love Mr P to bits.... he doesnt have any annoying habits - apart from one that I suppose he can't help; and that is - he snores like a mating heffalump ! The snores are incredibly loud and he never wakes up ! :mad2:

Mr M is tidy, and I mean TIDY!

Sometimes it really gets my goat.....he also sniffs his socks, which is pointless really as they always smell disgusting.

Why do men do that?...and fart in bed?...ugh. what I would give for a fartless night.

M

The thing that annoys me most is when he refuses to sit on the toilet and talk to me when I bath!

I can't get a bath in friggin peace in this house...they ALL want to talk to me in the bath......can spend hours ignoring me in the lounge, kitchen, garden...but get to the bathroom and they want to PARTEEEEEE.

Different things annoy me at different times. Snoring, yes. Leaving toilet seat up, definitely, dripping on toilet floor, absolutely.

They are just standard things though.

What REALLY annoys me is that he is extreeeeeeeeeemely judgmental and thinks the worst of everyone initially. His cup is half empty, mine is half full. He is extremely critical, although sometimes this can be very funny.

Oh, and also first visit to loo in the morning is also accompanied by a fart. That doesn't bother me so much, I'm partial to a pump myself. It's the fact that it sounds exactly the same, every time.

Oh, and also he has had a cough for weeks now and it's REALLY getting on my nerves.

Oh, and also he can't just come and give me a cuddle, if you know what I mean??

Mr C only has 2 faults

Everything he says
Everything he does

(Yeah I know it's an old joke but somebody had to say it ;) )

The only majorly annoying thing I can think of that bugs me about Mr H is that he is not one of lifes "finishers".


how frustrating for you Karen! :laugh:

Let's hope he "finishes" properly today on this your 9th Wedding Anniversary.


Sadly i don't have a partner so have no annoying habits to report! How I would love to be annoyed by a partner!

Sadly i don't have a partner so have no annoying habits to report! How I would love to be annoyed by a partner!

Sorry, Dol, how annoying for you. :shutup:

Just walk around the house adjusting things, sighing and tutting occasionally, maybe rant at yourself in the mirror. Has the same effect with a real partner anyway.

I can identify with this one that's why I am sometimes on here late at night I wouldn't get any sleep anyway.

Patsy you made me want to cry about the cuddle thing! :blush:

but you also made me laugh with the f --t thing.. sorry I can't say that word!! :blush:

just read this one and apart from the cough he and Mr M could be twins.

I dunno if you've misinterpreted. I was talking about grouting and pointing.....

We shall therefore be forever soul mates.

Poor fridge management. :glare:

Mr P is a remote control hogger............ he looks positively terrified if I take it from him.... :devil:

*gasp!* That poor man is trying to recover from a nasty virus... and you take his remote control away from him!

Oh, Pandora, you have no idea what that does to a man...

What about always putting meals in the microwave to heat them up before eating them?

Sounds like he's trying to avoid food poisoning max.

The farting thing seems to be a common theme through this thread and I to am irked by my beloveds ability to fart all night, but I think the thing that annoys me most about him is when he asks if I'd like a cuppa and then proceeds to sit for half an hour to the next advert break before he makes it. WHY? :wallbash:
At the mention of the word cuppa I'm frothing at the mouth like Pavlov's dogs and end up making it myself (it is a clever ploy methinks to get out of making it) :)

Think you've just answered your own question there, cheeks. A cunning little ploy.

Patsy, the thing is I don't think he's doing it in order for me to get it think he's just very laid back, (almost to the point of being horizontal).


If anybody is interested there is a prog on on Monday nights called He says She says on BBC2 on channel 2 and highlights the differences between men and woman. Watched it last Monday and it was very accurate will give you a good laugh. It's on at 10pm and you won't be able to watch it with out saying to your special someone that's you that is :laugh:

I'll look out for that one, Cheeks, I think that sadly we are very typical.

No he's not, I keep it!

Oh, sorry, YOUR Mr P. :blush: LOL..... he was frantic earlier. Id stuck the remote up my sleeve... :devil:

And cheekychops! My ol man does exactly the same re the tea making. He will casually say, "fancy a cuppa" and immediately my eyes light up and Im all "oooh yes please"..... then I sit there waiting, and waiting while he watches the last little bit of summat he simply cant miss... and my lips start cracking with thirst. :mellow:

Kinda glad we're typical Patsy it could be a lot worse I suppose.

Have thought of an other annoying habit he used to have.

When I first met him he used to call me and tell me to watch certain films that were on that involved firemen falling through burning floors etc; As he is a :fireman: I used to have a right rant to him about it and then I formed a cunning little plan of my own :devil: I was working in a hospital and used to tell him all the terrible details of what went on with wounds etc; (mostly made up but he doesn't know that) but my favourite was maggot treatment on a wound (which was true) that turned him green at the meer mention of it :sick: . Within days whenever he was telling me firemen stories I would ask if I'd told him about maggot treatment and he'd change the subject quickly :laugh:

Am sitting here right now Pandora with the cracked lips going on while he finishes reading a bit in the sport section while waiting for kettle to boil, it was put on and finished boiling 23 mins ago. What are we to do? :laugh:

LOL..... he was frantic earlier. Id stuck the remote up my sleeve... :devil:



was his little face a picture when you revealed it's whereabouts Pan? Bless him!

Sometimes I think we were better off in the good old days without a remote control - it probably causes more problems than it solves!

My son has a particularly annoying habit of putting reminders on tv programmes so that half way through watching something it suddenly automatically clicks channels! d'oh!

How can you call that annoying? I think it shows great teknikal know how. He must take after his aunty.

My other half has his "zone"
I can be talking to him and he'll be in his "zone" in other words switched off to anything I'm saying. He just zones in on the tv and can't hear anything else at all.
He reckons its because he came from a big family and to listen to anything on the TV he had to do this.
I'm not so sure, I think he just doesn't want to listen to me.

Oooooooo Mr B has several of these zones, usually connected to the telly, the computer and the radio when the footie is on.......he totally ignores me. He does not give excuses for this behaviour...he simply denies he does it.

HOWEVER......if I do not respond immediately to his dulcit tones or I happen to get distracted whilst he is mid way thorugh a monologue he simpy looks at me and says "I'll talk to you when your'e interested" and walks off.

How can you call that annoying? I think it shows great teknikal know how. He must take after his aunty.


well it's a tad more irritating than: "does the washing up" don't you think? huh?!

LOL at this thread, I can relate to a few! The tea thing - Mr B will ask me if I want a cup of tea and I say yes please and then he tells me he'll make me one when he comes out of the loo.........and it's not a tinkle he is going for!!! :ninja:

I hate the way he can never find anything! He'll ask where something is, I'll tell him and I honestly think he expects whatever it is he is looking for to jump out and meet him. If isn't staring right in front of him, it isn't there!

I tell him dinner will be 5 minutes and he phones his brother and then tells him that he can't talk anymore as he is getting shouted at as dinner is ready!

:wallbash:

But isn't that because a woman can never put anything back in the same place twice Bella? :wink2:

I have just spent half an hour putting all the light bulbs in the light bulb drawer, all the batteries in the battery drawer and removing anything from the key drawer that isn't keys!

Some people in my house seem to think that if it's in a drawer, any drawer whatsoever, it's tidy!

Personally, if I can find it first time where it should be, then it's tidy! :closedeye

I have to admit...people are always amazed at the way my drawers have no agenda...never looked at it like that.

BUT...I KNOW which drawer everything is in...you only have to ask..

...and then look to where I point.

Nothing would annoy me if I was with someone - I'd just be happy that they were there with me :cry:

Pah, mock me if you will Cat, but there has to be a bloody system! :mad2:

Without a system, it's just chaos, which leads to anarchy! :wallbash:

And it's not just drawers you know! Oh no......... :ranting:

Start applying the lip salve I reckon...... Im determined not to give in :mellow:

I'll bet you have a Dymo labeller don't you Grouch?

Go on, make me sound like a pedant! :mad2:

I just like being able to find stuff.......... :ninja:

I'll tell you what really annoys me..when ever Mr Cat is taking Freddie out...he'll say...."Get him ready then and I'll take him out" WHY...WHY do I have to get him ready...if I'm taking him out I don't ask Mr Cat to get him ready.....and I know this isn't just Mr Cat...most of my friends Mr's do this too.

Can a man please explain this to me.

Probably because you haven't put his clothes away in the right place! :ninja:

As you know, Cat, Mr P is a better wife than me!

Probably because you haven't put his clothes away in the right place! :ninja:

No..his clothes are always in the same...drawers next to the changing trolley thingy.

And thats not answering my question...do you do this to your poor suffering wife?

As you know, Cat, Mr P is a better wife than me!

Thats only because you beat him.

No, if I get up with the kids I get the little one dressed.

Sometimes we try 3 or 4 pairs of trousers until we find a pair that fit. :wink2:

The bigger ones dress themselves, then we argue about what they've chosen.

Is your wardrobe colour chronologised(?)

No, it's colour based.

Large blue check shirts at one end, small blue check shirts at the other. :)

Wait until you see my bookcase :thumbsup:

Black or blue shoes? Jeans or chinos?

Left to right and right to left :ninja:

Cat my husband did exactly the same with the kids this weekend.
Taking the kids to the beach he promptly asked me to get their shoes on :ranting:

Another annoying trait of my dear husband is when I do the ironing I go and put all his work t-shirts away and promptly find all his stuff in his drawer which was previously ironed has been picked up, taken out of the drawer and just stuffed back in. Why do I do his ironing :unsure:

No, it's colour based.

Large blue check shirts at one end, small blue check shirts at the other. :)

Why keep the small ones, don't you just throw out what doesn't fit? ;)

And Cat, I have one those that ask me to get the kids ready to go out, I have to get them ready, pack the nappy bag etc. And I usually have to do this whilst clearing the lunch dishes away, or something!

And the other thing if he has a night out, he gets ready goes out. I have a night out, I have to get the kids fed, bathed, ready for bed.......then I have about 5 minutes to spare to shove on some slap, fix the hair and dash out, feeling rather harassed.

mmm............. nope sorry, don't understand.

mmm............. nope sorry, don't understand.

Me either Patsy :ohmy:

They didn't choose very well, did they?

Either that or they haven't trained them very well :laugh:


Nothing annoys me about my partner, as I don't have one to annoy me anymore and after reading this thread, I don't think I want another one :laugh:

Jaysus Groucho - you sound like the male version of ME :laugh:

I guess himself annoys me in the little ways you guys have already mentioned....ie the farting and not being able to find things without a detailed map!

The other things that I get niggled about, is that he always leaves his clothes in a pile on the bathroom floor, damp towels on the bed,(admittedly HIS side), and he also seems to have an aversion to closing wardrobe doors and drawers.....and we wonder why the kids do the same :wallbash:

Oh and he enjoys ripping the pee out of me when I have one of my blonde/senior moments :laugh:

Oh and he enjoys ripping the pee out of me when I have one of my blonde/senior moments :laugh:


Most of the time, then?

Taxidermy. He used to leave frozen dead animals to defrost on the kitchen worktop in a carrier bag. I would be cleaning up and look inside thinking it was his pack lunch box (which he had failed to empty the orange skins out of four days previous and eventually decided to bring home) and discover a dead buzzard/ squirril/ fox/ pheasant.

For some reason we separated in August. With him living in Scotland and me down in England we have become great friends again.

Most of the time, then?

I'll get you my pretty........and your lil dawg :devil:

Urk is a great bloke altogether but he is incredibly lazy when it comes to anything needing to be done in the garden.

I got up on sun morning to glorious sunshine and reminded him the grass needed to be cut. Now, this is HIS job, by his own choice, and always has been.

On the few occasions when weeks pass and the neighbours are giving our wilderness withering looks as they pass by and I can't bear it any more, I'll go and cut it.

there then follows the hurt expression when he gets out of bed / comes home and sees it's been done.

Then theres the whistling over the teeth as he goes around the trees and looks under bushes and finds clumps that I have missed. And the sighs of a martyr that has been stripped of his sackcloth. And the one that finally kills me 'I was just about to do that'......as he strops off to the garage to sulk.

I'm sure he goes in there and does a little victory dance.

I'm sure he goes in there and does a little victory dance.

Lol TE! I can just see Urk doing his little dance and punching the air in great delight!

My present partner is prefect



But I have these questions



Why are you never and mean never ready to leave on time even when we lie and tell that we have to be there an hour before we have to be



Why do you need so many shoes?



Why is it only funny when you fart in bed



Why will you not go to a party where you don’t know anybody

I know them all and if you come with me you will know them all



Why do you always want to talk to us right at the end of the film and then have a row because we want to see the end and make us miss it?



Why is it when where having a good time you want to go home?

And when we are having a cr*p time you want to take up residents





I have more

ooooooooooo, can't wait for Floopy's response to THAT little tirade. :boxing:

Why are you never and mean never ready to leave on time even when we lie and tell that we have to be there an hour before we have to be

Can't help with that - I am always ready on time, it is Mr C that holds us up fiddling about at the last minute!

Why do you need so many shoes?

I have one pair of boots, three pairs of sandals, a pair of trainers and three pairs of slippers. That is the entire contents of my shoe collection.

Why is it only funny when you fart in bed

Well they say everyone loves the smell of their own brand!

Why will you not go to a party where you don’t know anybody

Never been guilty of that - I like meeting new people.

Why do you always want to talk to us right at the end of the film and then have a row because we want to see the end and make us miss it?

We were secretly seething with resentment because while you were watching the film we were cooking, doing housework etc. Therefore we want to spoil your enjoyment as we are nasty malicious cows!! :laugh:

Why is it when where having a good time you want to go home?

Cos it means we're not getting your attention, tee hee!!

And when we are having a cr*p time you want to take up residence

Cos that means we're not paying YOU enough attention!! :laugh: :laugh:

Good reply


I have one pair of boots, three pairs of sandals, a pair of trainers and three pairs of slippers. That is the entire contents of my shoe collection

This is not a lot of shoes then


We were secretly seething with resentment because while you were watching the film we were cooking, doing housework etc. Therefore we want to spoil your enjoyment as we are nasty malicious cows!!


I know it






You must admit you are the exception to the rule on most of these









What are you doing friday night

Oh, no she's not.

I have one pair of black "work" shoes, one pair of brown "work" boots, two pairs of sandals which both pinch, two pairs of trainers and one pair of very old snoopy slippers.

You haven't smelt my farts, they're not funny.

I'm always happy to meet new people. I always go out with him and his friends, when invited and don't have a problem with that. However, he hardly ever comes out with me and mine.

If anything, it's him who gets bored watching a film and goes to bed early. He turns over before the credits have started which is REALLY infuriating, especially when he knows I can't remember a particular actor's name.

I always make sure he has a drink so that he relaxes and has a good time - that way I know I will have a good time.

If he's having a crap time and I can't ply him with drink, we give excuses, leave and then have a row about his rudeness.

HERE'S A QUESTION FOR YOU.

If we are such crap navigators, why not let us do the driving?

My present partner is perfect



ooooooooooo, can't wait for Floopy's response to THAT little tirade. :boxing:

What can I say :thumbsup:

If we are such crap navigators, why not let us do the driving?

I do
but you dont take instruction very well and tend to try and navigate your selfs and then blame us for being lost

I can't think of anything that annoys me about Mrs Blink. She's fab. We started out as best friends before we fell in love. We almost never argue (try 6 times in 12 years). She doesn't irritate me.

On the other hand... I suspect that she finds the following irritating about me:


my aversion to gardening
my terrible untidiness
the smell of my feet on a warm summer's day (actually that's better now I've dicovered Scholl foot deodorant)
my ripply old-man wobbly-buttocked flatulence
the fact that I can take two weeks to get round to sorting out a haircut, AFTER I've started to look like a Wookie (no offence, Dab)

(no offence, Dab)LOL http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_12_6.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm22755GB)

the fact that I can take two weeks to get round to sorting out a haircut, AFTER I've started to look like a Wookie (no offence, Dab)

Hey, none taken. :thumbsup:

Anyway, a full wookie winter coat is my ambition rather than my condition - and as it's unlikely I'd be allowed sexual access if ever I achieved that ambition, it'll probably remain so.

Hmm... Wookie fur versus sex... Tough call... :wacko:

Nah. No contest. I have a coat. :laugh:

Nah. No contest. I have a coat. :laugh: LOL !!! :laugh: :laugh:

The fact that he 'thinks' he is always right :shutup:

The fact that he 'thinks' he is always right :shutup:

maybe he is

maybe he is

Nope. Sometimes he comes out with complete garbage, that is later disproved .... but he will never back down and say he was wrong !!!

Nope. Sometimes he comes out with complete garbage, that is later disproved .... but he will never back down and say he was wrong !!!



Next time bet him against something he don’t like doing like the washing up for instance for a week

And ask what would constitute as evidence of him being wrong
and then nail him


My partner is always right and I still doubt her I don’t know why she is never wrong

I must stop it

It must annoy her

FINALLY!!! I have it in writing!

No you dont

Mr M is another one who will offer me a cup of tea, turn the kettle on and half an hour later.......still no tea and he's sitting on his bum!!

When I was a smoke it annoyed me if people put anything other that fag ash and fag ends in ashtrays - now I don't smoke Mr M's smoking annoys me so I'll put any bits of rubbish that will fit in his ashtray - he particularly takes offence to me taking hair off the cats brush and putting that in there!

If Mr M makes toast for breakfast both the butter and the marmalade will be left out with their lids off - this infuriates me as it doesn't take a couple of seconds to put them away.

........the fact that Mr P is trying to limit the time I spend on here. He just doesn't understand. To me, it's the same as plonking myself in front of the telly, which is what happened previously. He says it is killing conversation.........we're not allowed to speak when the telly's on. I'm still in the same room as them, not tucked away somewhere. However, this means that the constant tapping of the keyboard annoys him. I can't win.

Fact is, I know I've been on a lot for since I joined 3 weeks ago, but I'm back at work now and also, surely the novelty must wear off soon! He doesn't understand and doesn't want to.

He's made me really grumpy now and I had such a nice day at work. :mad2:

Welcome to the pleasure dome!

I am lost........ :unsure:

I struggle to find anything to say here, because she's lovely. We're both alpha individuals and our early days were... interesting... but we've blended into each other nicely and the things about her that used to irritate me are just some of the threads that have helped to make a good tapestry.
