Things Your Husband Does That Drive You NUTS
Really? When did the candle holders on the dining room table become your hat rack?
I've got another great one but can't find the picture.....give me time....it's a doozy.
What does YOUR husband do that sends you over the edge?
Re: Things Your Husband Does That Drive You NUTS
Puts his dirty clothes on the floor next to the laundry basket. OH MY GOD. The basket is RIGHT THERE! There isn't even a lid on it! Put your $&#*@(&!*% clothes IN THE BASKET!
Oh, man! That is too funny, what a great picture!!
L never takes his dirty dishes to the kitchen. I have to nag him to do it. He'll get up from the couch like 10 times to get water or some other drink, so why can't he take the dishes when he does that?
The dishes sit out for who knows how long, since I don't live there. Blech!
*whispers* I do this. Especially with cups. I have a thing where I can't use a cup for more than one type of drink (eg, if I drank orange juice out of a cup, I can't just rinse it and then drink water out of the same cup - the OJ flavor is still there!) so I tend to use 5 cups or so a day and leave random stockpiles of dirty cups all over the house. Drives poor Ben insane.
This indeed!!!! I also hate how MH doesn't load the dishwasher right! It may sound anal on my part, but he just puts stuff in there and it leaves no room for other things. So we have to run the dishwasher with 10 items in it because there is no room for anything else and I don't want to reorganize it to make more room...I like it loaded in an order fashion!
Geesh...now that I'm reading this back it makes me sound crazy

Oh, Lisa! How could you?!
Haha.
LOL if it makes you feel better, I get annoyed when Ben puts the towels away because he puts them away in the wrong order. We have piles for hand towels, dishtowels, bath towels and dog towels. He mixes them all up and completely doesn't get why I want them separate ("What's the big deal, you can see which ones are which and just pull out the one you want!"). Me = as crazy as you.
Amy, that is the funniest pic I've seen in a long time. But I do have to admit that I might be 5% on your hubby's side...they do look like the perfect and easiest place to throw your cap.
Lisa we are so twinsies on that cup thing. I refuse to reuse a glass. But I think I might be a little more OCD about it. First, I cannot drink out of a plastic cup unless it's disposable(I know, I must hate the Earth right?). Second, the whole flavor of the drink still in the cup deal like you. Third, I KNOW there are a million germs now in the cup I just drank out of and ewwwwww gross. And yes, I am fully aware that they are my germs. How's that for crazy.Hey wait, sounds like I'm posting my habits that annoy MH instead of the other way around!!

THIS!!!! What the heck is with these guys???
HAHAHAHAHA! I won't even let MH fold any of the towels because he folds them wrong, they have to be folded just right so they can all fit properly in our linen closet.
Just thought of a new one while on the subject of towels...I hate when MH uses the dish towels or hand towels in the kitchen as his own personal napkin or to clean up huge messes. For instance, I just put out Halloween dish towels on Saturday (early I know) and Sunday there was a huge spaghetti sauce stain on the back of the towel so I didn't notice it right away. So I had to replace it after 1 day....that stinker!!!!!!!!

This! And when doing laundry, taking it out of the dryer but not folding it, just cramming it all back into the basket. UGH! Wrinkles for days!
Oh and similarly placing empty bottles and cans on the counter rather than in the recycling bin, less than 2 feet away!

LOL Ben does this too! He doesn't get the distinction between "hand towel" and "anything absorbent within reach that I can use to mop up a mess." I guess I'm lucky he doesn't use his shirt or something...
UGH - MH does the exact same thing! We have a fabric hamper thing in our bedroom (the hamper itself gets washed about every other week so I don't worry about what goes in it/sits in it) and he always makes piles next to it. I once asked him his reasoning and I'm still scratching my head over it.
First, he doesn't want to throw his gym clothes in the basket b/c they are sweaty and will contaminate the other stuff. Ok, but the floor is a better place? We kind of remedied that problem and he throws his gym clothes in a laundry basket I leave on top of the dryer.
Second, he doesn't like to place his work clothes (the non-dry clean ones) in the hamper b/c they are too "clean" and he doesn't want to risk other stuff (his example was my gardening clothes) getting his work clothes dirty. HUH?
This stuff ALL goes in the washer - and comes out CLEAN so why can't they sit in a hamper together for a few days?
Oh, add another husband that is guilty of this!!
We have a system of kitchen towels, kitchen hand towels (the pretty ones that get hung on the rack by the sink), rags (cut up t-shirts) for deep cleaning, and cloth napkins. He's never going to figure out the difference. he once handed his friend a rag to use as a cloth napkin. GROSS and why? He had to grab it from under the sink when the cloth napkins are in plain display on the buffet.
J has a habit of handing me garbage. He'll buy a CD, unwrap it, wad up the plastic and then hand the plastic to me. "Can you hold this for a minute?" is his way of getting rid of it... just make it my problem! He also does it with gum wrappers: eat the gum, hold out the wrapper for me to take. WTF am I supposed to do with this?
I take it out of habit and then, when I realize what it is, I sit there with my hand upturned and this ball of garbage sitting on it, until he turns back around and sees me with this look on my face like "you're kidding me, right?". I'm not going to get up and throw this out for you! You can have it right back and take care of it yourself.
He does this all. the. time.
