what does your DH do that drives you nuts?
DH has been driving me nuts lately because
1) He doesn't wipe up the counter after making a sandwich, or after anything
AND
2) He leaves his shoes right by the back door in the middle of everything. I swear I trip on them almost every time he does it!
I have plenty more, but those are the two that just drive me absolutely insane. What about your DH?

Re: what does your DH do that drives you nuts?
1. Throws wet towel after shower on the bed (so annoying)
2. Balls up candy wrappers (like from Hershey Kisses) when he's done and leaves them on coffee table
This is one of mine as well.
He also get irrationally angry when he's hungry. Like, rivaling an infant angry. He's 31 years old. You can manage being hungry without becoming an azzhole. TYVM.
When the dishwasher is full, he doesn't rinse dishes off or leave the soaking so the next day its super hard to get them cleaned off to go in the dishwasher.
He doesn't replace the soap in the shower when its to the end. I hate going in to find a sliver left!
My H has a weird habit of leaving clothes hangers in random spots in our house. I find them on the dresser drawers in our bedroom all.the.time, but have also found them hanging from door knobs in other rooms of the house, as well as from light fixtures in our upstairs hallway and our dining room. So baffling and annoying at the same time, lol.
My husband did this this morning. I just do not understand how the dishwasher being full makes it okay to let your smoothie remnants harden onto your glass for the whole day, so it'll have to be soaked for an hour later instead of a quick rinse this morning.
my food blog
1. Leaves his empty beer cans on the nightstand and kitchen counter.
2. Half asses stuff often...like this morning he made Wrigley's kong but then left the bread that goes in the kong out, with the bag open, on the counter, and the bread box open. WTF.
3. Has no understanding of time...like he'll say "Oh, I'll be leaving in 20 minutes" and then not leave for 3 hours. I basically just automatically add 2 hours to whatever he says.

I have no idea what he does to wash up at night, but the counter around the sink is always soaked when he's done.
DH doesn't soak his dishes either.
But my BIGGEST pet peeve is when he takes clothes off hangers, he doesn't take the hanger down and put them next to the other empty hangers, he just leaves it in between all the other shirts. His rack of clothes is really high and I can BARELY reach it. So when I'm doing laundry I have to go search between every flipping shirt to find the hangers and then reach my squatty butt up there. I tell him it literally hurts my shoulder to reach that high and do that, and yet, it never changes.
1. doesn't wipe the sink down after brushing his teeth. I hate when there is water all over the place.
2. doesn't close his dresser drawers. we made up a ghost named Fred. he is the culprate. lol
3. leaves a trail of his stuff when he comes in the door. bag by the door from work, keys/hat/phone/etc.... on the dining room table, stuff on the kitchen counter.

add placing dirty clothes next to the hamper instead of in it.
...but I chose my battles because I am so sure I do plenty that pisses him off
this wife bakes.
One of my favorite cakes ever! I had a blast making this..all handmade with buttercream suds!!!!
BF loves to flip beer bottle caps off using a spoon...they go flying in the air, and it's a great party trick, but then he leaves them wherever they land. They get EVERYWHERE!
Also, he's addicted to cough drops, and the wrappers for those end up everywhere.
And he never remembers where he put the car keys. Ever.
Ditto on the water all around the sink thing. Only my H slashed everywhere. He steps out of the tub without even waiting five seconds to let the water run down, then steps off the bath math on to the tile. I definitely slid until the point of having to grab a towel bar, wall, counter, etc. to keep from falling.
Believe me, I KNOW I do more that pisses him off than my list for him!!
Well, I'll preface this by saying I've been a bit cranky lately (gigantic understatement):
But still
1) He'll put his dishes in the sink (golf clap) but not run water in them so everything sticks (from reading above maybe this habit goes hand in hand with having a penis?)
2) I only go in his drawers to put away laundry but EVERY week I open them you would think we'd been through a home invasion, not ONE thing remains folded when I clearly left it that way the week or even few days before. I told him the other day I'm now leaving his clothes in garbage bags and taking back the drawers for the new baby, what's the point!
ALL of the above.
DH never wipes the counter or stove down after making a sandwich.
Leaves everything out on the counter after making a sandwich. I can't tell you how many times I've had to throw away cheese or bread b/c he'll leave it out all day and it'll get hard. Same thing goes for milk. I bought a brand new container of cookies n cream ice cream...he scoops some out and instead of putting it back in the freezer he puts it in the fridge. I found it the next morning. He'll leave soda bottles sitting on top of the fridge instead of in the fridge. I just don't understand.
Won't rinse off the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. I can't count how many spoons I've pulled out where peanut butter is still caked on the spoon. He somehow thinks that the dishwasher is a miracle worker.
Leaves a trail of clothes from the kitchen to the living room to the bedroom but won't pick any of them up on his way back to the bedroom.
Will put clothes next to the laundry or ontop of the laundry instead of IN the laundry hamper.
NEVER wipes up the bathroom countertop after shaving or brushing his teeth.
Refuses to get a towel out of the cabinet before getting in the shower so when he gets out he'll drip water and leave puddles all over the bathroom.
Leaves wet towels on the bed.
It's a good thing I don't mind cleaning.
Too funny - I was so close to posting something very similar last night.
So we had this white-ish spot on our new dining room pub-style table. I think it was caused from heat. It's been bugging DH to no end and he's been googling ways to fix it. Well in the middle of cooking dinner (while trying to include DS, which is an added challenge) he decided to try fixing it with an iron and a dish towel (something he read online). Didn't work. Made it worse. Awesome. Then later in the middle of dinner he gets up and tries something else, this time involving (MY!!) toothpaste and baking soda. OMG I was going to die. Finally he got the stupid spot out but I sure had a lonely evening!
To sum it up - the thing that drives me nuts about DH is that he's too project oriented, to a fault! and very anal retentive. The end.

My DH does both of these too! Ugh.
Not wiping the counters off is the thing that makes me the most nuts. (but I'm strangely feeling a bit better to see I'm not alone in this) Sometimes I wonder if he has any idea how annoying this is. Like I consider just leaving all crumbs there for the week to see what he'd do; sadly, I think not much.
But definitely agree that I'm SURE I have things that irritate him as well. It's a fair trade!
There are two things I'm always ragging on him for:
- When driving somewhere, he literally finds the LONGEST possible way to get there. Always. Drives me crazy!
- He is physically unable to close kitchen cabinets. He'll go in and get a bowl or a glass, but NEVER shuts the door all the way. WTF???
But he puts up with my shoes all over the house (I just kick them off and leave them all over) and and my other annoying habits
I say let him put his clothes away then. I wouldn't bother with hanging his clothes. That would drive me crazy.
Mine does the kitchen cabinet thing too. It drives me crazy! When I ask him why he can't close the doors he says "I only have 2 hands" Uh ok one to open and close the door and the other to grab a plate. I still don't get it.
Nope, some people can't manage being hungry without getting grouchy - my FI and I are both like this. Most of the time we're really good about keeping ourselves fed, but sometimes one of us will snap at the other and they just know to feed the offender immediately and not take it seriously. It's not something we can help, we just do our best to not get too hungry (which gets interesting when we're both dieting).
uses the fireplace mantle as his storage unit
forgets to lock the car doors
leaves his shoes everywhere
I could keep going....

This.... exactly this! He puts the dished on the counter ABOVE the dishwasher! like, open that big box underneath and stick them in! It isnt rocket science! He is also guilty of absolutley soaking the bathroom after a shower, and he thinks it is funny that he NEVER in 12 years has replaced a roll of toilet paper! It is actually a joke in my house now that I am the TP Fairy! lol
