What Is Your Significant Other's Most Annoying "habit"--JFF!

FARTING!!! I cannot stand the smell of his farts, you'd think after 12 years I'd be used to it but I'm not.

I'm with Sam I Am! Why do they need to laugh at their farts like they are 12 year old boys! UGH! Now my daughters, especially my 5 year old, thinks it's hysterical when she farts! My husband doesn't help when he laughs at her, laughing at herself! double UGH! Hates to throw stuff out..like the misc. paperwork. I now give him a pile and it is his file it or throw it out pile.....that takes about 2 weeks, but at least it gets done. What makes me the most crazy is when I notice things that need to be fixed and he doesn't. Really??? You don't see that or you don't WANT to see that??? That really is the most annoying thing ever. We have two toilets that are running. The water bill came....it was high...he said nothing because he knew that I would rip him a new one about the toilets! lol They are on his "list" for this weekend!

Picks his toes and his belly button lint in the kitchen or living room.

Constantly molests me when I am trying to cook, clean, ANYTIME actually. He will stick his hand down or up my shirt, down my pants. Drives me NUTS. He says it is because he is so attracted to me. BLAH BLAH.

Starts projects and never finishes them, and leaves the tools he was using or "going to use" in the area of the unfinished project. So not only do I have a bathroom that has been "in the works" for two years, but I also have to step over drills and paint in said bathroom.

UGH!!!!

XINE - I do the cabinet thing, and my husband yells at me when I fart from my IBS too even though he literally does it every 5 minutes! TOO FUNNY!

Well first, he cooks dinner and uses EVERY SINGLE POT AND PAN AND MEASURING SPOON IN THE HOUSE. Then, after stirring something goopy, he'll place that same spoon on the counter top. No spoon rest. No paper towel. Right on the counter! Tomato sauce? Chicken shawarma? Who knows. I just know our white counter tops cannot handle it. It's a darned good thing he's a good cook.

Thanks, I needed this post =)

Farting..... I know its a natural body noise, but mine acts like he is a 12 year old boy farting - everytime!

When my husband eats chicken wings he goes at them, like a freaking squirrel eating an acorn. He turns them really fast and takes tiny bites. I tell him every time...to eat like a human...and not a dang woodland rodent! It drives me NUTSO.

Lolol...these are funny!

My husband passes gas (hate the f-word!) like he's been entered into a contest.

He uses the laptop while he's on the toilet. (He once took mine in there, and I sprayed it with Lysol and wiped it down right in front of him. he leaves mine alone now.)

He flushes the toilet and turns on the faucet with the same hand. Then he uses a clean hand to turn off the faucet. As far as I'm concerned, that hand and the drying towel are DIRTY.

Throws away whatever he can't identify. I'm always looking for stuff that he's tossed.

Yeah, that shower-nose thing is way gross. Do they teach them that in the lockerroom?? How do all men know to do that?

He swats my naked butt right after I've used the toilet. I tell him to wash his hands. (I have toilet issues and clean any part of my body that comes into contact with it, meaning that I wipe down my butt and legs every time I pee--sorry if TMI.)

He wears his belt too tight so his pants bunch up at the top.

does not brush his teeth at night, he can get morning breath that stinks up the whole master, and the master bath - it helps if he brushes his teeth/tongue at night but he will not always do it.

I was originally going to talk about how he just genuinely thinks slower than me which, if I'm waiting for a simple yes or no answer, can be infuriating. Then I saw Bug's answer about the chicken wings & I remembered that whenever we have wings he eats the entire thing, cartilege (or whatever that nasty not-bone-not-meat stuff in there is) & all & just crunches away forEVER & it totally grosses me out. He'll be happily munching away & realize that I'm just staring at him all grossed out, apologize, be fine for a few minutes & then go right back to it. Blech!

Oh geez. Acting like a 10-year-old boy when our 3-yr-old has gas, like saying, "Oh! NICE! Right in my face!". Chewing with his mouth open. Saying "inneresting" instead of "interesting". Not cleaning the shower or the mirror when he cleans the bathroom (but I guess I should be thankful that I get the sink, counter and toilet done!), and not wiping down the grimy kitchen counters when it's his turn to do the dinner dishes. Driving 45 mph in the fast lane on the freeway b/c he can't drive and narrate simultaneously - totally oblivious to the traffic swerving around us. Leaning over the OPEN, half-loaded dishwasher to put his dirty bowl, spoon, and coffee mug on the counter!

He's stinky, messy, and comfortable with that!

I'll say something like, "Whoa, you're sure smelling ripe," and he just laughs. Darn him for having his own standards! He simply does not seem to understand that I am ALWAYS right!

;-)

Loud chewing!! It is my biggest pet peeve with anyone. I even cringe at the movie theater just before the movie is about to begin when all is quiet except for the collective crunching and munching of concession snacks everyone is eating. The thought is giving me chills down my back as I type this right now!!! Anyhow, I think I married the loudest chewer of them all! Oh my word! Some days I cannot even be in the same room or have to have music or something else on to drown out the sound. It makes me want to jab my fork in my ear! Ugg!
A.

Where do I start. Just to name a few.
He snores like crazy.
He brushes his teeth in the shower that he has only cleaned once in the last 15months
He does not know how to put his clothes away even after I do laundry and iron them.
I have to repeat myself almost every time I talk to him.
He lets his mail accumulate on the kitchen counter for weeks.
He collects a bunch of electronics/computers and mostly just junk that is accumulating in the garage.

Other than that, he is a great father, handy man and works hard to provide for us.

wet towels in the laundry basket

Late...he is tardy for everything, never on time for ANYTHING...it's hopeless! I'm one of those people that I think I'm late if I get there at the exact time.

He's an amazing cook, but cannot clean up his mess for anything...he works!

Saying...Kosher, cool beans.
His answer to everything is "Sure"...if I ask him to help me unload the dishwasher I get "sure"... and no help. Now I have to say can you please give me a yes or no?

Gulps when he drinks water...I can hear it from across the room.

Getting the four year old to gang up on me. They get all giggly and laugh about silly things. He'll say "mom's got stinky toes" and my son laughs hysterically.

Not really that horrible but getting that kid to calm down takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r.

He takes a long time to do things that don't need to take very long. I appreciate that he does things properly, but MAN! :o)

Great question! Hmmm...let's see, when he "accidently" fart's especially right when we get into bed, he'll lift the sheet's up and the smell of "TOXIC" is released! Oh My! If he only knew I was writing this! lol....Or, and this is going to sound weird! But when we sit down to eat, he'll chew on both sides of his mouth! And he'll eat his food really fast and yet maintain's to be fit! Or how he'll change his clothe's and throw them on the bathroom floor rather then the hamper which is right infront of him! Lol! Or when he shaves or brushe's his teeth he'll get water all over the sink and mirror! Ahhhhhhhhhh, what a wonderful way for me to vent at this moment since im doing house work right now! lool!!!

unfinished projects...time flies!!! He's a perfectionist - likes to make sure it's "just so" and it makes life difficult sometimes...

but over all - can't complain....

Oh wait!!! he's a border-line hoarder!!! He can't get rid of stuff!!! :) It's REALLY hard to keep the clutter down...I "give" him the den to clutter - the rest of the house is mine...almost clutter free! :)

he has kept stuff that he used - one day - it might have been 5 years later - but it saved us about $2K just for saving this piece of wood! URGH!! I TRULY DO NOT LIKE IT when he gets a "point" like that!!!

My husband eats/chews/chomps so loud! Food, ice, soup, nothing is sacred! I am learning to ignore it, but if we're in the car it drives me insane!

That he will pick up the laundry basket to move it out of his way, but that never leads to him carrying it upstairs.

Can't seem to pu anything away after using it - LOL! I give it a few days then reluctantly put things away for him. Drives him nuts but I tell him if he doesn't want me to do it than maybe he should consider cleaning up after himself :) Laundry, he can do laundry but he can't seem to put his away. Love him but really!

He cleans (which I LOVE!) but lacks consistency when putting things away. I have found the toaster in at least four different places in the last week and a half. Oh, and he's tall so he doesn't realize that what is an easy reach for him means a trip to get the step stool for me.

WAIT! I forgot to add that he also has whatever male defect causes him to not be able to find anything that isn't directly in front of his face!

Well let's see.....picks his teeth with a tooth pick forever it seems while sitting there watching tv.....blows his nose w/o a tissue (gross!!).....and saying "HUH?" constantly.....dips snuff, spits (gross again!!)........

Other than all that, he's a great guy.....Ya'll are probably going, "Really???" LOL.....

SNORING. I have bought him several snoring remedies and he won't even try them. He complains because I am so tired all the time, maybe its because I don't get any sleep. He suggest that I wear ear plugs, but "hello" I have children in the house that I need to hear if they wake crying and he could sleep through a fire truck right outside the bedroom window with the sirens blaring.

Putting the trash on the counter right ABOVE the trash can and leaving any drawer or cabinet door that he opened open.

Lifts his leg just to PUSH one out and then laughs about it. I told him if he kept it up and pushed so hard he might have a present in his pants one of these times. LOL This morning our 11yr was sleeping and to wake her up he called her name and let one out right by her bed, he was laughing all the way to our room, she just laughed and covered her head.

But wouldnt trade him for anything!!!

I have a nose picker, leg shaker, spoon clink in the bowl while eating ice cream doer! three of my biggest "Grrr's" Oh and he does this thing in the summer while sleeping where one of his legs has to be bent so his foot in flat on the bed but then as he sleeps the foot slips and shakes the whole bed...UGH!

My one and only issue with DH is his inability to be punctual for me. He seems to do it fine for work....but if I tell him we are going somewhere and leaving at 10:30, I will be waiting in the car with 4 kids, all ready to leave at 10:30 and he'll still be in the house doing something or other and doesn't get out to the car until 10:45. WIth the advanced notice about the specific departure time (especially since I only expect him to get himself ready) I just think he should be able to be ready at the appointed time. Not too annoying to me, but his other "flaw" is that he can get frustrated with the children a little too quickly. Other than that, DH is perfect. ;-)

The most annoying thing my husband does is respond to something I know for sure he heard me say with a "Huh?", solely for the purpose of coming up with a response that he know I'll like or delaying the response he knows I won't like. Dude, you gotta work on fooling me a little better!!

The second thing is how he exaggerates the cost of something or how long something will take. He ALWAYS does it, even if there is truly no benefit. UGH!! Men . . . .! : )

um.. EVERYTHING!
lets see... we have 2 bathrooms but he insists on pooping in the one downstairs cause it is more comfortable and it stinks!!! then his laundry is everywhere along with his game controllers... has to ask me where everything is because he cant pick up or organize.. i have to buy him deoderant and shampoo cause he cant go pick out personal hygiene items on his own... his shoes stink beyond belief... oh i could go on and on and on :)

Great topic! My husband smokes (must do so outside), doesn't always keep his mouth shut while chewing and doesn't finish what he's working on. It drives me nuts.

It is a good thing that he makes me laugh and is a wonderful friend!

WAKING UP IN THE MORNING!

I like him better when he is asleep, even tho he snores!

My husband is a stress case. And if there isn't something legitimate to stress about, he'll FIND something! UGH...Oh, and he's gotten into the habit of saying "kinda thing" when he's explaining something to me, or just talking in general. Like, "it's a round peg kinda thing" but he says it ALL the time...even when it doesn't make sense! And the worst part? It's started to rub off on ME!!! hahaha
