Friday POLL: What does your DH do that annoys you?

I'll be in the middle of a sentance and James will see something that catches his attention right in the middle of what I'm saying!  That gets on my nerves so bad.  I haven't said anything to him but I'm going to next time he does it.

What about anyone else?

Siggy coming soon....

Re: Friday POLL: What does your DH do that annoys you?

  • Mine is a neat freak to the point of driving me insane!!! In many ways this is good...he does his own laundry, picks up after himself, can even cook and takes care of the yard...I have three shirts haning in the LAUNDRY room behind the laundry room door that I need to iron and I just haven't gotten around to...this bothers him a lot. I could go on, but I won't. LOL
  • my dh was diagnosed with ADD in kindergarten and hasn't been medicated since he graduated from HS 7 years ago, so I completely and totally feel your pain.

    It irritates me when dh drives my car and puts my keys somewhere weird so when I'm trying to go to work the next morning I can't find them. It's not on purpose, he just gets distracted and they never end up on the key plate!

  • He gags REALLY loudly every single time he brushes his teeth.  This makes me want to gag!

    He snaps his fingers at me when he needs something and can't say it (like when his mouth is full and he needs a napkin or something).  It pisses me off to be snapped at...I told him this and now he does it on purpose just to bug me.

    He ALWAYS says, "Like I said.."  when he's talking.  Sometimes, he'll say it 5 times in one conversation!

    When he's in a hurry, he washes his hair in his sink.  Not sure why this annoys me so...I guess it just seems faster to me to hop in the shower, ya know.

    Woah...that was alot!  LOL!  Wonder what he'd say about me if he were asked this question!!!

    OMG, dh has a few little 'jasonisms' as I call them like that. He usually uses them when he's trying to sound informed - LOL.

    He will also tell me the same 10 stories about his life on a weekly basis, and doesn't understand why I find it so irritating.

  • You're describing my and my son...we've both got ADD...this doesn't work well with a neat freak hubby. LOL
  • Oops, I'm guilty of what your husband does....DH laughs at me though when I get distracted. I don't mean to! lol.

    DH fidgets for no reason and makes noise (tapping, etc) and I have to ask him to stop before he realizes he is doing it. He forgets things but won't write things down. He leaves clothes out, but won't let me do his laundry so I just have to leave them there. And he is not a neat freak, but he is when it comes to packing. He always has to pack our suitcase, because I don't do it right (he is better at folding than me , it's weird!)

    Okay that looks like a lot, so I will stop... lol.

  • My husband repeats himself ALL THE TIME!! I already know what he's going to say before he says it because I've heard it before.?

    He also laughs loudly....and I mean LOUDLY!!!!!!!!!! It hurts my eardrums!

  • This is so minor, but it's kind of funny.  He likes to refrigerate things - things that don't necessarily need to be refrigerated.  And some things that really shouldn't be!  Like potato chips.  LOL.

  • Oh!  I just thought of another one... He is really good about doing laundry, and I appreciate that.  But I just wish he would figure out where my clothes go.  He always puts my shorts w/ my t-shirts and vice versa, and I'm always having to look for things.  And I like for my underwear to be neatly stacked, but he'll just shove in in there in any way he wants..and when he hangs my shirts up he always puts them in the front of the closet, not where they're supposed to go. 

    But despite these annoyances, I'm happy that he at least makes the effort.  But still, ugh!

    Siggy coming soon....

  • He hangs his towel over our suede shower curtain.  Yet, I have a towel rack in our bathroom for that EXACT purpose.

  • He will call and ask if I want him to pick up dinner on the days I work late (not the best cook but he gets an A for effort).  When I tell him what I want he says he will remember and then when he gets home it is never what I asked for.  for example last night he went and got Subway and came home with a foot long steak with mayo and peppers.  I don'[t eat foot longs, I have to have cheese, and I asked for onions and jalepenos, and mustard.  Even though he knows he does this he won't write my order down......It drives me crazy.

    Oh and he never keeps up with time.  He will say he is leaving work at 5:30 and it will be 7:00 when I call and say thought you were leaving at 5:30 and he will say it is only 5!!!!

  • My husband "doesn't know" where ANYTHING is. It's drives me insane. How on earth would I know where you left the CD you listened to last week? The things he "can't find" are always in really obvious places, too.

    It's put me on edge just typing what he does that annoys me. haha?

  • DH is OCD and i'm a total scatterbrain so it sometimes doesn't work out well.  He is a complete neat freak and when he is in a cleaning mood expects me to drop everything right then and clean as well.  not such a big deal except for i'm way more laid back than him.

    He is terrible about keeping up with time and thinking his list of things to do is immediate so my list of things to do always seems to come last.  It is def. something we are working on!

  • OH lord this could be a long post.  I love him but he drives me batty sometimes.

    He fidgets alot.  When he talks on the phone he paces and can't be still.  He is very unorganized.  When he takes his clothes off they fall exactly where he took them off.  He doesn't put them in the closet or laundry room.  When he shaves or does anything in the sink water is everywhere (on the mirror that I just cleaned )

    I better stop here :)

  • He does his laundry all the time and if my clothes are in the dryer he will toss them on the bed in the guest bedroom and they get all wrinkled.  It drives me crazy.  I always take his out and fold them.
  • When there is something in the dryer and he is searching for something to wear, he'll dump out all the clean clothes on the floor beneath the dryer, find what he wants and leave the rest of the clothes on the floor!

    He doesn't hand up wet towels, instead puts them on a chair where they sit FOREVER.

    When the toilet paper runs out, he'll get a new roll but won't replace it on the holder, just set it on top of the empty roll.

    He'll drink beer while playing computer games. When done with one can, he stacks them up into a "beer can tower". I rarely go into his office, so sometimes his desk is scattered with "towers" of cans. when I try to clean them up, they all come crashing down!

  • Oh lets see.....today....everything he does is bothering me...lol :P

    He naggs...gripes....moans....etc. about every single dollar that I spend.  If I go to the grocery store....I have to throw away the receipt or he will take it and look at each thing I bought.  Oh...and then has to question me about "why did we need so and so" or I can't believe you spent "x" amount of money on "said item" drives me insane.  I guess it would be different if I was spending tons of money left and right....and did not work at all.....but I save money hand over fist...and work just as hard as he does!  I think I need to make him do all the shopping from now on.  That way he can see just how much money it costs just to feed our household.  ggrrrrr!

    During football and baseball season he gets what I call "coaches head".  He begins to think that he can talk to me the way that he talks to those players.  I have to shut that down real quick!!!!  He also tends to think that because he is a coach...his job is more important than mine...and when something needs to be done...I am the one that has to take off work!  Uuuhhh...hello!!!

  • He blows his nose in the shower!  Totally disgusting too me!

    When I am washing dishes, he will stand there and talk to me, and here I am piling the dishes in the other side to rinse and dry, and 95% of the time he doesn't take the initiative to pick up the blasted dishtowel and dry!  

    I probably could go on but I'll stop. Man I wonder what he'd say about me :)

    oh. my god. this morning jason got out of bed, stumbled into the bathroom while I was flat ironing my hair infront of the mirror, snorted, and hocked a monster loogie into the toilet.

    I wanted to puke.

    I never really realized how disgusting boys could be until i got married lol.  And I grew up with a brother but I guess I just didn't notice his disgustingness!

  • He will only half listen to things that I tell him.

    He expects me to call and tell his parents things instead of him.
