...that annoy your H. It's only fair. ![]()
-I tend to leave dishes on the coffee table (we eat in front of the tv.)
-I baby-talk the cats. Sometimes excessively, on purpose, to annoy him. Who's a schmoopie-woopie-baby-waby-kittie-wittie??
-He hates the way I drive. Hates it. To be fair, I think I need to go to the eye doctor. I have uncorrected astigmatism and I think I have a depth perception problem, because I find myself slamming on my brakes maybe more than I should.
-He claims I talk unnecessarily loud when I'm on the phone. Sometimes at other times, but mostly on the phone.
-We have this eternal argument about how the toothpaste should be squeezed and why it even matters. Sigh!
-He also says I'm on my computer way too much. Teehee. (Again to be a little more fair, I do work paperwork mostly at home and I do that on the computer. But sometimes....I'm dinking around. Like now!)
Re: Things YOU do....
- tense up when my H drives. I have 'assured clear distance' anxiety and IMO, he follows way too close sometimes. H gets annoyed when he sees me pressing on an imaginary brake pedal on the passenger side and inhaling sharply.
- remind him that it's a work night when he goes out with his friends and request he please be a responsible decision maker about leaving the gathering and driving home.
- jump to the naysaying before I've heard him out. I'm working on it.
I have to add, the man doesn't actually complain about anything but the naysaying. If you ask him, his wife is awesome and he should probably ease a little further back from that car's bumper, and get home a little earlier on Wednesday night.
-H feels I'm a pessimist, I prefer to call it a realist.
- messes drive me apesh!t. Should it really matter what he does in "his" bathroom? To him, no...but, to the one who cleans it, it's annoying. I am working on relaxing about it AND making him help with the chores
-get easily annoyed with lots of questions. I know he's just curious, but the answers just seem obvious to me. I need to remember that at least he's willing to ask (however, this does NOT apply to the gym when I'm in the middle of a weightlifting set and he asks me "what's next" when it's written down on the flipping paper RIGHT THERE!). I swear sometimes he asks, ''why?" just to test me.
- i'm moody, I admit it. I frequently don't sleep well- up at least 3 times a night. I'm tired all.the.time and snap at him too much. Working on this!
-I'm on my computer too much.
-I get angry pretty easy.
-I'm a huge perfectionist.
-He mainly teases me about this but that I often sign and talk at the same time and sometimes I will have sentences that have Spanish words thrown in. So occasionally the tri-lingual this is a bit annoying.
In our house, I'm the messy one. It's DH's number 1 complaint by far. Mostly, clothes. I do have random piles here and there. But the organization makes sense to me, I swear!
P......M.......S
That is all that needs to be said.
-H hates my driving. I have major road rage and he hates it!
-thinks some of my eating habits are weird (BBQ sauce on Turkey, Parmesan cheese on chili, etc...)
-I cant think of anything else, only because its early lol
- I like things to be put away when you're done with them. He is perfectly content leaving things like his notebook/folder from class from two days prior on the kitchen counters.
- I press the imaginary brake pedal and sometimes grab the ceiling of the car for no freaking reason. But in my defense, I feel like he waits until the last possible minute to start breaking, so it freaks me out.
- I'm not a morning person; EVER! When he wakes up and is all happy go lucky and gets in my face, I generally scoff.
- He thinks the toothpaste should be squeezed a certain way. I don't care; if it comes out, that's all I want.
- When I leave the room I'm in, I pick up my dishes. He thinks its just dandy to leave 3 day old milk remnants in the cup in the living room.
- He hates that I mill over something I want to buy. Like last night, we went to the mall and I wanted new eyeshadow from Sephora. I spent at least 15 minutes picking up and putting back the same color b/c I was unsure if I should spend the money on myself.
I could probably come up with a good list, but in the past 2 years I've def gotten a bit better on the silly/small things that I used to freak over.
