Re: QOTD
he has had sinus problems forever, so i can't hold him comPLEEETely responsible for his brokenness, but because his nose will run, he will sniff and sniff and sniff and sniff and sniff and sniff for 20 minutes before blowing his nose. drives me effing insane. He will literally sniff every 10 seconds (yes, I count, and it has to happen 10 times in a row before i allow myself to lose it on him) as if sniffing it away makes it magically disappear! Blow your GODDAMN NOSE!
Also, he does this when he's on the phone with people, (he has a phone-based job) and I can't imagine how it doesn't drive people crazy. Of course, it must. One of his BFF's once made a comment about it, and I was thrilled it wasn't just me.
His breathing and snoring. He is a loud breather and doesn't notice it. Could be because his lunger are larger than they should (lungs/chest cavity should fit on 1 x-ray film and his doesn't, if has to go on 2). Could be because he smokes and is a little over-weight.
His coughing especially in the morning. He says its probably his sinuses but it is definitely smoker's cough.
Chewing with his mouth open
Can't seem to see all the trash. If he has had a couple snacks and there are wrappers on his tray he will always leave 1 behind, or a bottle cap. Its like he doesn't even see it. I swear only about 99% of trash registers in his brain.
His fungus feet. He has the feet that everyone is warned they will get if they don't wear flipflops in a shared/public shower. He has been using the sprays, creams, lotions, and powders for years. He will buy all new socks and shoes every few months. I told him to go on the oral mediciation for 6 weeks and it will clear everything up. He refuses. So all night long he is rubbing his feet together because they itch. Like Kathy's husband's sniffing - he does it every few seconds for a period of time, then stops for a bit then starts up again. It wakes me up because the whole bed shakes so bad.
His inability to see the grease on things. Like the trash, he just doesn't see it. I usually end up rewashing dishes because they are too greasy that the dishwasher can't even get it all. And every thing he touches for a while after gets a light grease coating. I almost thing he has a super power and can randomly secrete grease from his finger tips.
I'll stop now but there are more. He does have a lot of good qualities that outweigh all the bad. Or at least balance with the bad.annoying.

my read shelf:
His chewing. I cannot listen to him eating when it's dead silent. He knows it and his mom used to tell him the same thing when he lived at home. I told him it's my problem though, he can't really help the way he eats I don't think. I actually have to leave the room if we're not both eating and I can't hear him over my own.
His inability to get dirty clothes in the hamper instead of around it.
And his refusal to blow his nose. He'll sniffle or wipe over till the cows come home, no matter how many times I tell him to JUST BLOW YOUR NOSE!
Definitely his snoring. It's especially worse if it's after a night of drinking.
He coughs and yawns ridiculously and unnecessarily loud.
He puts his hands down his pants while watching tv. I will NEVER understand this. I often ask him "are your balls going to disappear if you're not holding them? Are they going to grow legs and walk away?"
Bahahahah! That's the funniest thing I've heard all week.
D takes forever to get out of bed. He constantly falls back asleep, as in I hear him snoring, so I poke him and tell him to get up and he snaps at me "I am up!!" Uhm, no you're not your snoring! I also dont like the way he smells when he sleeps. I swear his sleep sweat has a different odor than his workout sweat. It's absolutely disgusting, but I know he can't control that... still gross though.

Funny, I once told Nick that he smelled "like sleep" and he was so offended. He really does smell different!
