Annoying habits

DH and I are always on at each other about 2 habits...

Mine - I leave draws and cupboards in the kitchen partly open
His - he leaves wet towels on the bed

Whats your (or your DP/DH/DF/DW's ) annoying habit?

Oooooh, confession time!

DH: Never, ever does the baby's laundry. Leaves refrigerated stuff on the kitchen bench until I put it away (ketchup, milk, juice, leftovers). Refuses to kill scary-looking bugs -- prefers to liberate them out the back door. Disappears when it's baby's bathtime.
Me: Leave laundry in the washer for ages until it gets smelly and needs rewashing. Leave dishes for ages as I hate doing them. Never, ever clean up the dog poop.

Me- have a 'Mt Everest'(according to DH) size pile of clothes on the bedroom floor permanently.
DH- sets the table with the knife and fork the 'wrong' way round. Changes the radio stations at home and in my car and doesnt put it back to mine.
I know I say "Grrr you piss me off when u do that' a bit,..but cant remeber why right now! Lol!
Isla- eats anything she gets her hands on that isnt food!

His other habits are clothes in the corner of the room and mixing it with clean clothes.

His hobby stuff all over the dining room table. He will clear it off now and then but a million small pieces stay behind. If I say anything it is called nagging which he dont like at all. Then if something goes missing guess who is at fault. (never mind that we have a toddler and I have to keep her away from it or that we have to eat on that table)

He empty his wallet of all reciepts in one pile. And I suppose he wants me to sort through them.

When I moved in with my partner I said we were allowed 3 rules that we each set that would make it easier to live together.
His: the 3 T's: Toothpaste lid has to go back on, toilet paper has to face out and no towels on the bed.

Mine: clean toilet after use (if it needs it - you know what I mean ), replace toilet roll if empty and pat me on my head and tell me he loves me when I have a melt down day.

Works well!

DP - Filling things up with water (cans, bowls, jars) and putting them in the sink. Apparently this is helping. Washing huge loads of clean clothing then just leaving it all in the washing machine for me to spend bloody ages hanging out, then having no room to hang out the babies clothes.

The one thing that really annoys me is when my family or friends come over and are having a conversation with me or even him, he will butt in and tell them some really long-winded, boring story about a car, and use really technical details that nobody understands and by the time he's finished, everyone has forgotten what they were talking about and having to wake themselves up from being bored to fricken sleep..

Me - I always leave the fridge door open and I open new packets of things before using the old stuff..

DH: throws his washing at the laundry basket so it lands next to it on the floor instead of IN it!

Procrastinates about doing things when I've asked then gets sh*tty when I end up doing them. eg "can you please mow the lawns?" A week later still not done so DW (ME) 9months pregers goes and does them!

ME: Throws the dish cloth in the sink without squeezing the water out

DH hates how I don't turn his washing out the right way before putting it in the draws.............I say do it yourself!! It's just another job for me otherwise!

Hrmm, it seems like a woman thing, the little piles everywhere? I do that. It drives DF insane. I also don't refill the toilet paper holder if I use the last roll, unless the roll is getting rather low. And I come home and read the paper before I do any housework/cook tea. Probably a heap of other things too. I read/come on the net before I do the housework.

DF - doesn't wash down the bathroom vanity after washing his hands when he's come in from work (covered in cow crud). Doesn't shut the dryer door properly (I can see one of the dogs barreling past and taking the door off at the hinges). Leaves egg shells etc in the sink and then puts dishes on top of them so when you go to do the dishes you empty the sink and it smells real bad cos there's old egg shells etc. under the plates.

DH picks his nose!     I mean puh-lease, he's a grown man!  I keep saying 'I'll be telling our chidren off for doing that and you keep modelling it to them so just frickin STOP it you...." you get the idea.  And every morning, I wipe up all the toast and cereal crumbs he's scattered over the kitchen but didn't clean up.  grrrr.

Me?  I tidy up the office, where he's 'arranged' things into piles everywhere - the clutter drives me nuts, so I clean up, un-doing all his 'arranging'.  Drives him crazy. 

 

LOL at everybody! Hahaha

Okay I really hate: DH leaving his damp towel on the bed, and him changing the toilet roll but leaving the empty roll in the toilet room, at the back of the loo (hard to reach)!

He really hates: how little piles of stuff acculumate and don't get put away as often as they should. (Nor as often as I would like but sometimes I haven't the motivation!) I can't think of any more right now, I'm sure he'll come on and rectify that
