Food Shopping...
A little background: We do food shopping probably twice a week. Small freeze/Fat b
d (me)= Many trips.
We shop in the same store, every time. Goods are therefore in the same place, all the time, and with the exception a few bits, the food shopping is mostly...the same every time.
We should be able to walk from the nearest Isle, and move with hairpin turns, collecting the things we need from the list in a logical fashion. Snake along, collect everything, job jobbed.. But no, she makes a list, Then collects the items in the order they appear on the list.. Bread- isle 24, tomatoes - isle 1, Frozen pizza, isle motherfking 25, and so on.
I then get shouted at for being "Grumpy".
AlsoHides tidies my stuff away, then claims I have lost them myself when I cant find them.

Waits until I am in another room, usually with running water noise or TV noise in the background, and then starts a conversation with me.
Tells me she's told me things that she hasn't. Well, maybe she has but I was probably in another room at the time.

Tells me food is ready when I'm in the middle of something so I go in, wash hands etc and she says "Its not quite ready yet, could you..."

Only turns her mobile phone on when she wants to make a call, that is if she even has it with her and its got any charge.

If my wife asks me a question - and I don't hear it properly for some reason e.g. background noise, because she has her back to me and is walking away, toilet flushing/running water etc.
If I ask her to repeat it - she always does so in a quieter voice than the original question - then gets pissed off when I have to ask her to repeat it again.

Me: Have you seen my shorts?
Her: Have you tried looking for them before asking me
Me: Whats the point? There are one million places to look and you can probably narrow it down to one
Her: It just makes me laugh how you expect me to know where everything is
Me: Do you know where my shorts are?
Her: >sigh< Try the laundry basket I think they are in there.
Me: You really are a fking and I wish I had never married you. Oh sorry I thought I said that in my head.

king and I wish I had never married you. Oh sorry I thought I said that in my head.1. Her unfathomably small bladder irks me... I feel like I spend at least half my waking hours waiting for her to have a piss.
2. She snores and jumps about in her sleep like a maniac though the night, keeping me awake.
3. She misses out important bits of information when she's telling me something, then gets annoyed at me because I have no idea what she's on about.
There's more, but I'm too tired to type them out due to point two.

Same here. Wait's until i'm out of the room before trying to start a conversation:
Her: blah blah blah blah blah
Me: What?
Her: blah blah blah blah blah
Me: {stops doing what i'm doing and walk back to the lounge to find out what's so important]
Me: Sorry love, what did you say?
Her: What do you think my Mum would like for her birthday?
Me: You made me stop what I was doing for that? What a waste of 30 seconds.
Obviously the last sentence isn't said out loud. Unless i've had a few beers.

I could be here all day. Mine plays music so loud that you can't hear yourself think and won't turn it down when asked. I then have to unplug it from the wall and suffer abuse for a while. I wouldn't mind if it actually was music but it's just a noise. Also stares at laptop 24/7 while having a conversation with you so not really listening. Thinks I am always wrong in every situation.. etc etc. I will stop here before I blow a gasket.
Another good one. Whilst getting ready and short on time - she will often go off at a complete tangent and do something completely unrelated to putting makeup on, choosing shoes etc.
Even though she showers before me, I can be showered, ironed my shirt, got dressed, sorted the animals out, locked the house up, got the car out of the garage etc - then I come into the bedroom 5 minutes before we are due to leave to find her half dressed, dusting the sideboard or bleaching the toilet.
She then makes out I am rushing her when she can't decide what shoes to wear 5 minutes after were were due to leave.

1. Wants to know why we don't have a bigger house?
-Feel free to get yourself a job and contribute.
2. Do you have to run/train/gym so much?
-Yes
3. Who can wash and clean my car?
-Henry
4. Cant you take some time off and spend it with us?
-I could but Mr. HSBC may wonder where his mortgage payment is.
Went through a rough patch 18mths ago, but now its better than ever.

I used to have this problem with an ex. To get around it, our agreement was she'd give me a shout to let me know when she was straightening her hair as this was the last thing she used to do. I'd then get changed and off we'd go. Was quite a good time to sit down and enjoy a couple of beers and have control of the television.Even though she showers before me, I can be showered, ironed my shirt, got dressed, sorted the animals out, locked the house up, got the car out of the garage etc - then I come into the bedroom 5 minutes before we are due to leave to find her half dressed, dusting the sideboard or bleaching the toilet.

Facebook - I'm happy for her to stick her nose in it all evening and let me get on with whatever I want to do, but when the kids are talking to her or the dogs are jumping around her feet wanting a fuss and she doesn't even notice it drives me nuts. It's not unusual to her have her phone in her hand and be on FB between the car and the front door when she gets home. If there's a walking dead style zombie apocalypse she'll be stood in the middle of it all waiting to find out what someone she met once in 1997 thinks about strictly come dancing.
Putting stuff away - never does it. Over the course of a couple of months the dining table will become a pile of post/ironing/handbags/unread magazines/junk, leaving barely enough room for the kids to eat their tea. I have in the past resorted to gathering everything she has left lying around and putting it on her side of the bed.
Procrastinates - I've been telling her every day for a fortnight to get her car booked in for a service, I'll be telling her every day for another fortnight before it happens.
If she wants me to do something, fetch something, make her a cuppa - that's fine, but why does she have to wait until my arse has just hit the sofa before asking.
It's only the FB thing that really gives me the hump though.

The FB thing really gets on my tits too, we could be out in town, in the car, at my dads, at her mums, on a dog walk, even out for dinner and she will whip her phone out to check on something, the youngest will try and talk to her about school and she will get a very disinterested "yeahh" or "really" from the wife as her head is buried in her phone, it has caused many an argument.It's only the FB thing that really gives me the hump though.
