How about the invisible item..the pile of laundry on his dresser that NEVER seems to be put away, or the stack of dishes that never seems to get any attention...amazing their ability make these 'to do' items invisible. haha
I'm working on a research project and need a list of Annoying Things Husband's do. Here's an example that a few women have already sent me.
1. Men NEVER learn to put the toilet seat down! How many times does it take "falling in" in the middle of the night and screaming for them to get the message?
2. Procrastination - Honey, take the trash out... Honey, can you please cut the grass? The trash will be flowing over and the grass will be knee high.
3. If they do one little thing, they think they have done soooo much and expect praise and "Honey, you did a great job"! We do things everyday and do we get a thanks! It's just expected of women.... I guess.
Your help in this project will be greatly appreciated and all responses will be onfidential, so rant AWAY!!!!

Not listening. If I tell you the week before as well as the week of the plans,doctor appointments, etc. please listen. I hate having to repeat myself over and over. Write it down in your calendar/phone. I don't have to remind you that the game is coming on. (What channel or what time) You can remember the whole schedule.
Cleanliness- his quote "I like cleanliness especially when someone else is doing it:
Not cleaning up fingernail or toenail clippings.
well my thing is honey please start putting ur dirty clothes in the hamper he say;s ok i will and im always havin to pick them up off the floor..dont get me wrong my husband works his butt off at work and home but there is things i wish he would do own his on pick up his dirty clothes clean up his mess help do some things around the house when im over loaded with house work.a man thinks they cant wash a dish there hands is no better then us ladys..thanks
NEVER puts anything IN the dishwasher. He'll rinse the plate, but set it on the sink instead of opening the dishwasher and putting it IN. I have a side of the sink that's for "clean" stuff and a side for dirty stuff, he ALWAYS sets the dirty on the clean side!! (even though the dishwasher is on the dirty side!!!) And instead of politely asking about something or reminding me what I forgot to pick up at the store rfore for him, he SCREAMS and calls me abusive names. BUT he does ALWAY put the seat and lid down when he's finished!!!!! :)
OK J. you ask for it lol This is the worst in my book.....there have been times in our life together when I alone have been employeed and husband was at home, he was employeed and I was at home, we both were employeed and even the worst after Katrina hit we were both at home for a couple of months. Now, if we both work... in my off time I cook, clean, do laundry, etc. In his off time he plays video games. Just he works I do A-Z, even filling his car with gas or picking up his smokes. Just I work, I work come home fix dinner and do A-Z and he plays video games! Need I say more. And to top it off, if I am working "it is an easy job" no matter what the job even when I was loading and unloading a truck like a man. If I am a housewife he thinks I sit at home and do nothing but wait for him to call me and give me a task to do. I still am not sure who the heck does EVERYTHING for him hummm there you go ....you ask for it lol .....:)
When I had a husband,
-not finishing a project from simple to big. It is left incomplete. The tape in the bathroom he decided to paint was there for years, until I took it down after he left. Plants gardens, then doesn't keep up with it. On & on.
-pick up your stuff, shoes, clothes, workstuff, dishes, cups, etc.
-PUT THINGS WHERE THEY BELONG.
-"I'll get that later." My name use to be Later.
I love my husband to the moon and back and have been married to him for 26 years, but hey, they are guys.... so here goes. Being woke up in the middle of the night for sex. Leaving you with the car to use on an empty tank. Forgetting what you asked them to do and them refusing to write it down because "they can remember." Eating all of the ice cream, soup, or whatever and not putting it on the grocery list. Leaving a spoonful of ice cream in the container instead of finishing it and throwing it away. Not putting a new bottle of shampoo in the shower after they use all of the old one or a new roll of toilet paper on the roller.Missing work and acting like they are dying(loud coughing and moaning) when you just got over the same sickness and went to work EVERY day. Acting like they are so exhausted when they get home from work and can't do anything but rest while you cook, clean etc. after your full time job. Watching you work while they relax and not asking if they can help. Not looking at the calendar and acting like "what wedding?" even though we talked about it last week. You having to shop alone for most of the relatives gifts. Leaving the mirror with toothbrush splashes all over it. Them watching shoot em up movies with the surround sound on full blast, but then you watch your movie with the same loud sound and they say "hey can you turn that down?" Not getting the car taken care of (inspection, oil change, etc.)Not finishing a job(painting bedroom, repairing sprinkler system)Leaving tools all over garage after you just organized it. Not calling his parents and family often enough.
I cannot stand it when my husband throws stuff away without making sure that I'm finished with it. He recently set the used plunger on top of a make-up sample that was on the bathroom floor (in a leaflet).
It bugs me when he (or anybody else, for that matter) places something from the floor onto the kitchen counter. Ugh!
I hate it when he kills a bug with MY shoe.
J.,
Here's my 2 cents...
There will always be someone prettier. There will always be someone smarter. There will always be someone who's a better parent, more fun, cuter, thinner, heavier, taller, shorter, better hair, daintier feet and better equipt at throwing a football ~ so if you're going to point out all these wonderful things in other women, and if you're going to make comparison's between myself and these strangers - then why in the HELL did you marry me!
Very sincerely yours,
D. ;)
My husband tries to fix everything. For example, if I am having problems at work and want to use him as a sounding board, he will then try and tell me what I need to do. I have to tell him that I do not want him to fix it I want him to listen!!!
My favorite: leaving trash on the counter after he opens something instead of throwing it away. i.e. the pull tab from milk or creamer or the tops of sugar packets.
