Name something your spouse/significant other does that drives you completely nuts.?

Question

For instance: A few minutes ago my husband kissed me goodnight in the kitchen and started up to go to bed. I went around the corner toward the living room to use the downstairs bathroom off the living room and found that, once again, he had turned off all the lights. Here's the dialogue from when I went up to our room just now.

Me: Why did you turn all the lights out?
Husband: You were in the kitchen.
Me: Well, what if I had to go to the bathroom or wanted to go into the living room to watch TV?
Husband: We've lived here for ten years. I didn't know you couldn't find your way around in the dark.

AAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!

Thanks, just venting, but would like to hear similar stories from others so I can laugh about it instead of steaming.

Answer 1

I should be so lucky to have the problems you described. Now that my daughter is grown and off to college, I am the ONLY female in a house with four boys...five if you count there father(which I do). They all live to antagonize the crap out of each other. And then when one of them has their undies in a bunch...they go back for more. On top of that this is a grown man with a kid at heart mentality. SO tearing apart a box of tampons to light the string and send them off with a bottle rocket is amusing. Waking up to him tapping my forehead just to see if I"m awake is down right hilarious at two in the morning. And I'll never get over the time they decided to pour a whole box of dishwasher soap into the dishwasher to see if it really would bubble out all over the floor just so they could slide across it and when I complained I was told they were inventing new ways to wash the floor for me. And how I have to take my own soap into the bathroom because apparently his mother never taught him to use a wash cloth and soap is suppose to be hairy (NOT!) Or having to duck each night at the dinner table so someone can pass the darn rolls. Oh honey, if he's shutting off the lights, plan ahead and keep a flashlight with you...things could be worse. Or we could just swap lives for awhile. That might make it a little easier to overlook his bad habits.

Answer 2

My husband starts my car in the morning (very sweet). But some times he uses his keys to start my car and some times he uses mine. I never know which set he is using. He doesn't always have his phone with him when he does that so I don't call him.

I'll either spend several minutes looking for my keys (when he has them in the started car) or I'll go out the door ready to take of and have to head back in because he used his own keys and mine are in the house. Again another few minutes lost when I could be heading out the drive way to that early meeting.

It's not that big of a deal, but who has time in the morning hunting for keys!!? I just wish he'd be consistent lol. I always call to apologize if I'm a little peeved. I'm just not a morning person.

Answer 3

I imagine we all do things that drive our spouses nuts, but sometimes it's good to say it out loud, so to speak. My husband does a few things that really annoys the hell out of me. First, he waits until I'm in the middle of something... cooking, for instance, when a minute or two could make the difference between a nicely cooked meal and a charred burnt mess, and he'll want to do a "slap and tickle". Then, at night when we're in bed, his legs jump.. sometimes kicking me really hard. When I suggest that I go sleep on the couch (I would never ask him to leave the bed), he gets upset.

Answer 4

Mine calls me every half hour without fail on my cell when I'm at work. I work in a building where I'm completely alone, but I still have things to do!
I have to go behind mine turning off unecessary lights. He's the exact opposite of yours, lol.
I am the anti-sports fan if ever there was one, but my husband will talk to me about sports as if I care. My whole life revolves around work and sports, and then he gets mad at me if I don't want to go to a sporting event. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
He drives me nuts!
Thanks, Girlfriend, the rant felt soooooooo good!

Answer 5

Two things... possibly symptoms of the same thing: 1) puts the Brita water pitcher back in the fridge with just enough water in it to barely touch the bottom of the filter, but not enough to actually pour into a glass and drink, and 2) leave just enough toilet paper on the roll to hide the brown cardboard color, so you don't know there's not enough there to do you any good untill you're already "committed"

Answer 6

My husband watches me go around the house picking up socks, underwear, shirts, pants, whatever my kids drop all over the house as they race through their day. Anyway, e watches me go through every room in the house and put all of these clothes in the laundry, and then sits at the edge of the bed, strips off his clothes and drops them, boots and all right there when the laundry basket is two steps away. Jesus! how hard is it?

Answer 7

When he snores and i cannot sleep because of it lol... He does not do this on purpose though but now that he uses Vicks and breathe right strips this cuts way down on the snoring and we both sleep much better:) I am sure i do things that drive him nuts as well lol. We are only human you know and no one is perfect.

Answer 8

Oh man. My wife and I are thermostatically incompatible. She likes it on like 80. I'm burning up and put it down to 77. I set it to 77, she sets it to 80, back and forth, back and forth. Finally the button on the thermostat broke off.

Answer 9

I hate when he's up all night, pacing through the house. I have to work early in the morning. Then he finally comes to bed at 4 am and wants to have sex, I have to up at 5am. He doesn't seem to mind. lol

Answer 10
