She never, never answers her phone.
She has an all-singing all-dancing iPhone that she is more often than not glued to for half the day.
However, when I actually try to place a telephone call to her on it (usually important) she, literally, never answers.
"sorry, it was on silent"
"sorry, it was in my bag"
"sorry, I didn't hear it"
"sorry, I was driving"
What's the point in having the poxy thing?!??!

Don't even get me started on this!Nearly always on silent and hidden in the bottom of her bag.

I am sure we could all fill an entire page of annoying things our OH does, I know I certainly could, but being pressed for time at the moment ill simply list this one thing my OH does that drives me crazy!!!!
EVERY single time we get in the car (i always drive so she is obviously sitting next to me as a passenger) she folds the passenger visor down and flips open the mirror lid so the light comes on. She then does something or another looking in the mirror like fixes her hair or whatever, then sits back and leaves the visor down with the mirror flap open so the light remains on. It doesn't matter if it is night or day, morning or evening, if she is in the car the visor MUST be down. I am constantly flopping closed and two minutes later it opens again. It's got to the point where we go back and forth automatically as a reflex wherein we aren't even consciously aware of the visor tug of war. I have asked her why she does it and somehow she always seems to avoid giving me a satisfactory answer!!!!

Lol, that's my wife cutting an onion: "mmmm, what knife do I need; this large very sharp one or the tiny blunt one, I'll use the tiny blunt one" and then I spend the next couple of minutes wincing, watching as she's hacking away, narrowly missing slipping and catching her fingers.
Another pet hate; yesterday it was at the pub but she does it if we are ordering a takeaway or going to the chippy:
Me; what do you want to drink?
Her; errr, what are you having?
Me; the same as I always have when we go out for a drink; a cider of some sort, like I've always done for the 20 odd years we've been together!!
Her; mmmmmm, ummmmmm, mmmmmm, errrrrrrrr, I'll have a latte, no I wont I'll have a tea, nope, a latte.
Arghhhhhhh!!

Her, "what are you having?"
Me, "a gin and tonic."
Her, "ok, I will have the same."
Me, "but you don't like gin and tonic."
Her, "just get me what you're having!"
Refuses to fil either car with fuel. She "doesn't like petrol stations". So she'll drive her car until the gauge doesn't move, then start using mine. So, I go out and find my car gone, get in hers and find that the gauge doesn't lift off the end stop. It's about 10 miles to the nearest petrol station to home. I now have to keep a five litre can of petrol (her car) and a 5 litre can of diesel (my car) at all times, all because she can't be bothered to fill up when the gauge gets low, or when the low fuel light comes on, or even when the gauge doesn't move off zero!

There are a few things but I am going to only mention one.
Won't put things in the bin, either leaves it wherever it lies, leaving food wrappers on the floor across the house, or if making an effort will use a shopping bag to collect stuff, including food waste, will hang it from a door handle, sometimes feet from the bin, and leave it there untill either I spot it and bin it or the dog tears it down again

Mine does the bag thing too! And leaves rubbish on the bin. As in takes it all the way to the bin, then instead of simply opening it and popping it in, she'll just leave it on top of the bin lid. Does it in the kitchen and the bathroom. And leaves empty toilet rolls all around the house because "the cats like to play with them" (they don't).She'll also collect recycling and leave it stacked on the kitchen counter for days, despite going out past the recycling bin at least 4 times a day. It will look like a tip, with numerous papers, 10-15 jars, bottles, boxes etc all piles up, not very neatly. When it gets to what I deem an unacceptable level I'll drop hints by calling her Stig (of the dump). If that doesn't work I'll wait until she's watching and dump the whole lot in the kitchen bin. Then she complains "I was going to recycle that!"

When?!Its caused many an argument me wanting a clean flat and her wanting to recycle but causing the flat to look like a tip whilst she gets round to it... eventually.
Starts a new toilet roll while there's about 10% of the old one left, starts a new carton of milk when there's around 10% left of the old one. Opens a new block of cheese when there's about 10% of the old one left (seeing a pattern yet?) Leaves about 10% of her tea in the mug for some reason, the amount of time I've thrown cold tea across the room grabbing a dirty mug. Y U DO THIS?! I'm forever using the last 10% of everything. If I didn't we'd have loads of almost finished things everywhere.
And why do these things turn up EVERYWHERE????

This is one of the reasons I really love my current girlfriend, she doesn't use those b
d things! My ex used to leave them all over my place, in the bed, bathroom, kitchen, sofa etc, it used to drive me fking mental finding them everywhere! If I had my way I'd either ban them or put a ridiculous tax on them which encouraged girls to reuse them as opposed to just discarding them all over my fking house.New rant at me this morning.
I like a clean kitchen and enjoy cooking, OH hates washing up and will often leave it a few days before the build up of plates gets to me and I ask her to clean it up.
What pisses her off is that as the rule, the next person has to wait at least 24 hours before they do it, I nearly always do it 24 hours later or what is commonly known as washing up after cooking the evening meal.
Full on rant about how Im an ass and I don't really clean the kitchen as there is only a few bowls/plates there when I do it, yet she has to spend an hour doing the kitchen every week.
You would think with 2 degrees, a masters and speaking 7 languages, so obviously very intelligent, that she would get the common sense of spending 5-10 minutes cleaning up the dishes 2/3 times a week, that its easier than spending an hour doing it on a saturday when we want to do something else.
No... Im the ass for jumping my turn and not waiting a few days for it to build up.
fking female logic.

Same, by the time I've finished cooking all the pots are clean.
I literally put the food onto the plates, turn around with pan in hand and give it a quick wash. Nothing left to do afterwards bar the plated we've just eaten of.
When she cooks...Bombsite!

I collected about 20 of these things from various lcations around the house and put them in a neat pile in her bedside draw. 2 days later they are on the mantle piece, in the en-suite soap tray, on my bed side table, etc. I swear they have a party in my house when I'm at work.
Rather than putting things where they belong, mine makes piles of similar items and then balances them places where there remain until such time as either a) I complete the job and put them away or b ) one of the kids knocks them over
E.g. A pile of clothes balanced on the bannister, a pile of paperwork balanced on the back of the sofa. And when she does the washing up, instead of drying it and putting it away she piles it up in a giant teetering Jenga tower.

No real issues here apart from after she eats a chocolate bar she has to unfurl the wrapper and then lick EVERY SINGLE BIT OF CHOCOLATE from it like an Ethiopean bin dipper. Puts my teeth on edge just typing this
That sort of attention to detail when licking should not be discouraged.Du1point8 said:

This is what's commonly known as the grand cleaning gesture and is known to elevate women to martyrdom, usually on a bi-weekly basis.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
