How about a poll?
Five things that drive you nuts about your DH.
Five things that drive your DH nuts about you.
Re: How about a poll?
- He's a slob but says he's a germaphob.
- He does NOTHING with the house. No cooking, cleaning, laundry, bill paying, maintenance or shopping. He won't even call a plumber, etc. The only thing he does is take out the trash.
- He does this annoying throat clearing thing to scratch his throat. It's really loud and he even does it in his sleep.
- He assumes I know what he's talking about. When I don't, he is horrible at explaining things. Tries for a minute and then gets frustrated and irritated.
- He has absolutely no filter. When we argue, he doesn't think about what's really hurtful.
Five things that drive your DH nuts about you.
- I *** and nag when he doesn't help out.
- I "hide" things. (I can't stand clutter so I put things in closets)
- I'm always looking for something I've hidden and can't find. ie. my keys
- I'm always 5 minutes late
- I'm moody.
Five things that drive you nuts about your DH.
1. Lack of budgeting
2. Lack of a filter in social situations (you should hear the things he says)
3. He refuses to do the dishes
4. He watches bad tv
5. He spends too much time with his friends
Five things that drive your DH nuts about you.
1. I lose every remote and set of keys I touch
2. Sometimes I complain just to complain
3. I talk bad about his family
4. I watch bad tv
5. I can be a *bit* dramatic
5 about him:
- when he's sick he complains ALL THE TIME
- if he's ready to go, it's time to go no matter what (he is working on this one)
- he hates a messy house buy doesn't like to help clean either
- he never does the dishes even though I always cook
- when he "forgets" to tell me something and I have to find out with other people or second hand
5 about me:
- I'm a lazy house keeper
- I can be very hot & cold (moody)
- sometimes when I'm upset I give him the silent treatment. In reality I'm thinking about what I want to say & calming down, but he doesn't see that.
- I can be unreasonable
- I'm really bad about leaving dresser drawers open and he hates that
Five things that drive you nuts about your DH.
1. He can be real messy.
2. He plays loud things on the computer while I'm trying to watch TV.
3. He trims his beard and leaves hairs all over the sink.
4. He can be moody sometimes.
5. Sometimes he puts stuff over the trashcan instead of in the trashcan...is it too hard to lift the lid? Ugh!
Five things that drive your DH nuts about you.
1. I mumble and he can't hear me.
2. I pick at everything and he hates it.
3. I sometimes ignore him...but I really don't meant to...he just likes to talk when I'm typing on the board or watching TV.
4. I expect him to take time off work when I know he can't.
5. When he makes dinner and I take forever to sit down at the table and food gets cold.
Five things that drive you nuts about your DH.
-When he gets sick he blows his nose soooo loudly. Then he coughs like hes hacking up his lungs. When he gets sick it sticks around for over a month at least. It gets old when we go out in public.
-He's not the most romantic guy. It would be nice to get flowers out of the blue sometimes.
-On that note, every anniversary/birthday he tells me weeks in advance he has something good he is going to plan. When it gets here, nothing out of the ordinary planned.
-He takes longer in the bathroom to get ready then me. It wouldn't be so bad if we had more then 1.
-He keeps old clothes around as "work clothes." Yet he wears his good clothes to work around the house in. And this past Thanksgiving he put his old clothes on to wear all day. DRIVES ME NUTS!!!
Five things that drive your DH nuts about you.
-I don't make the beds in the morning, but I have to make the bed every night before I get in it. He hates that.
-I'm clumsy and manage to knock over or break stuff a lot.
-He especially hates when I get "clumsy" and it involves his vehicle.
-When we fight I will go in our room and stay in there for awhile. I just need to calm down but it annoys him.
-If make a mess and don't clean it up right away.

I could have picked all of these also!
Five things that drive me nuts about DH
1. He blows his nose really loudly. It drives me nuts.
2. He can't budget.
3. I always hear random things second hand, and wonder why the hell he never told me important stuff. But at the same time I swear he talks just because he likes the sound of his voice.
4. I'll clean, do laundry etc... but he's such a clean freak/ocd nut that he always just tells me I did it wrong.
5. He gets super cranky when he's hungry.
ETA: His road rage (thanks Shelli). It's scary!
Five things that drive my DH crazy
1. I zone people out really easily. He'll often be talking to me and then ask me a question, and I'll have no clue he was actually talking to me. He has to repeat things 3-4 times.
2. I'm always looking for my keys and remote (he purchased a Meghan remote and a Jonny remote so that he doesn't have to look for a remote every time he wants to watch tv).
3. I hate putting clothes away and I wear things more than once so there are clothes everywhere.
4. I don't do well with authority... and if he tells me to do something I usually refuse just because he told me too. He has learned to ask rather than tell.
5. I can't take anything seriously. I'm like Chandler on friends. I'm always cracking jokes or laughing.
Hmmm, I sound awfully obnoxious. I think DH deserves a reward for putting up with me.
Meghan and Jonny- Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - May 1, 2010

I survived the RoLex wedding and all I got was this lousy husband.
One&Only Palmilla - Los Cabos, Mexico
I couldn't have said these better! And he wonders why I stop listening, LOL!
Five things that drive you nuts about your DH.
-When he is actually in town, he hits snooze 5 times in the morning when I don't have to be up yet, which wakes me up but not him, lol
-He will wash off the dishes but not put them in the dishwasher
Five things that drive your DH nuts about you.
-I'm a bit dramatic/emotional sometimes
-He hates that I will never wear shoes (I live in flip flops year round, yes, even in the snow)
-I can not be anywhere on time
That's all that I can come up with. I don't think we are around each other enough to find anymore things, lol
5 things about DH...
1) He is obsessed with Star Wars... he has a whole room in the basement filled with kids figures, toys, movies, posters etc....
2) He hits the snooze button a million times... please let me sleep in that extra hour and just wake up when the alarm goes off the first time.
3) He never puts things away... shoes are always in the way to trip over
4) When I ask him to do something ie. the dishes or cleaning he always waits til I am on my way home from work to start it, and I usually end up finishing them
5) He hates spending money period on anything we actually need, it's like pulling teeth out of his head when we need something for the house (besides grocery shopping) We have needed a stand for the coffee maker since we moved and we yet to have one so it is on the table. Yet he is constantly bringing home toys treats and bones for Paisley
5 things about me that drive DH nuts..
1) I don't like to cook, so I usually don't. I work til 7:30pm and don't get home until a little after 8 so if he wants to eat before 9 he has to cook
2) I like my sleep! I could go to bed at 9 every night and sleep in to the last moment before I have to leave.
3) I take really hot showers and never leave any hot water for his shower. To solve the problem he started showering at night
4) I don't wear make-up. No biggy, but when I do I complain I look like a clown... even when I have it done at the make-up counter I still feel like a retard wearing it.
5) I have been extremely moody these last 2 years. Hopefully it will change now that I no longer have the stress of school. Working 3 12's is going to be a lot better then student full time, clinicals, and trying to work full time. I will admit I was a flat out B!tch
Five things that drive you nuts about your DH.
1. He is so moody all the time. & especially cranky when he's tired or hungry.
2. He complains about having to make dinner every night these days even though he gets home before me & I am working basically 24/7. He'll actually be sitting on the couch watching TV when I get home & expect me to start cooking as soon as I walk in the door! Grrrrrrr!
3. He drinks too much. I mean we both drink & like to have a good time, but there are sometimes when I'm like really? You really need to have 3 glasses of wine with dinner?
4. When he says No or Yes, it kinda comes out as a combination of the two . So I never know if he's saying No or Yes! I usually have to ask him to repeat himself & it's so annoying.
5. there are times when you ask him a question & he won't respond for like 5 mins. I'll be starring at him waiting for an answer & he'll just have this blank look on his face. I'm always like "hello? I'm talking to you". I think he is just contemplating what he wants to say next, but he takes forever doing it!
Five things that drive your DH nuts about you.
1. He constantly has a camera lens in his face.
2. I pick at everything.
3. I ask him to repeat himself when saying No or Yes (see #4 above)
4. I plan everything & make crazy lists & research the crap out of everything. He thinks I have the next 10yrs of our lives planned out.
5. I mumble & talk really quiet & he can't hear me

I do this
haha.
5 things about DH...
1) He is the BIGGEST BABY when sick. Drives me crazy.
2) He is way too aggressive when he drives. He's better when I'm in the car now that I'm KU, but I wish he'd just relax a little bit behind the wheel.
3) He has no fear of injury. Watching him ski or bike or play contact sports is terrifying. This is also something he promises to be better at now that we're expecting.
4) Like others mentioned, DH gets up after I do but sets his alarm to go off before mine. Then, hits snooze a million times. Beyond aggravating.
5) This one is seasonally related. He likes colored Christmas lights. I'm a white Christmas light girl. We got in an argument our first year living together, because we couldn't agree on how to decorate the tree. We now alternate every other year. Ridiculous but true. I'm resentful every year that it's his turn.
5 things about me...
1) Like Choo, I leave clothes in the dryer until they're wrinkled. But, I also leave wet clothes in the washer to the point that they smell and have to be rewashed. This is because I despise doing laundry. Despise it. He hates that I forget the clothes but never helps with laundry.
2) I don't pay enough attention to him when he's sick.
3) I'm an obsessive planner, and I get stressed out over what he consideres "small things."
4) I'm stubborn and hate losing arguments (even over something small like colored Christmas tree lights).
5) I use his razors to shave my legs.

Him...
1) he doesn't pick up his 'toys' when he's done playing with them.
2) I have to nag him to get him to do any house work, if I just tell him he forgets so I have to tell him 10 times to do the dishes.
3) His feet are gross (thanks to army boots) and he 'grooms' them in bed.
4) He always wants to cuddle as I'm going to sleep, not when we're just laying in bed watching TV, but just as I'm going to sleep
5) He gets hangry (hungry/angry), and then gets offended when he's being cranky when I offer him a granola bar because I know it will make everything better.
Me...
1) I tend to end a lot of thougths with "in theory." (this has been a more recent development.
2) I've also tended to answer questions with "may or may not" terminology somting like this...
Prince Charming:- You. You can?t lie, so tell me puppet, where is Shrek?
Pinocchio:- Uh, hmm, well, uh, I don?t know where he?s not.
Prince Charming:- Your telling me, you don?t know where Shrek is?
Pinocchio:- It wouldn?t be inaccurate to assume that I couldn?t exactly not say that it is or isn?t almost partially incorrect.
Prince Charming:- So you do know where he is?
Pinocchio:- On the contrary. I?m possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably do or do not know where he shouldn?t probably be, if that indeed wasn?t where he isn?t. Even if he wasn?t at where I knew he was that?d mean I?d really have to know where he wasn't.
3) I take things out of the freezer (ie klondike bars) and then leave the empty box, or use the last ice cube w/o filling the tray.
4) I'm the snooze buttone person... and I don't turn it off when I get up... I just leave it goin off when I leave.
5) Apparently I don't love him enough to cuddle with him when I want to sleep (see his #4), even though I love to cuddle with hime while watching TV or a movie, but when I'm going to sleep I need my space and don't touch me.
Our Wedding Day 8/7/10
5 things he does to drive me nuts:
1. He doesn't deal with frustration well. A couple of weeks ago we were trying to unfold our futon. When it wouldn't go right away, he started shaking it like crazy and almost put a whole in our floor, like that was going to fix it.
2. He is an insane driver. He speeds, takes crazy turns, weaves in and out of traffic, I have to close my eyes while I'm in the car with him.
3. He shakes his beer cans over the sink to get the leftovers out. It wouldn't be so bad, but he drinks Guinness with the widget, so it's really loud. I keep asking him to just rinse them, but he doesn't.
4. He thinks that all the clutter we have around the house is 'mine'. It doesn't matter that he has old furniture and various broken 'junk' filling our basement, the only things we need to throw away are mine.
5. He tries to clean the house without me. Which usually means he just throws everything out that he doesn't know what it is, so I end up sifting through the trash to try to find important papers and bills he threw out.
5 things I do that annoy DH
1. I brought home a cat without asking him, but now he calls her 'his' cat, so I guess it worked out.
2. He gets upset when I don't want to watch the news, or FuelTV with him, and gets all offended when I tell him I'm just not interested.
3. I sleep on the couch a couple of nights a week, not to get away from him, I'm just a lousy sleeper. But he thinks it's because I don't want to stay with him.
4. I am horrible about dishes. I'll run the dishwasher, and then pull dishes as I need them for a day or two before I actually empty the thing.
5. I nag a lot, I think he's learned to tune this one out.
