What does the OH do that really ****es you off?

Never remembering where she put something " for safe keeping".
Or worse, doing one of her speciality quick tidy ups ( because someone pops round at short notice).....that results in neither of us afterwards ever being able to find stuff that she's scurried away into the one remaining drawer,that wasn't already full of s
t from the last speciality quick tidy up.

Yes, my wife won't put the milk away incase anyone sees whats inside the fridge Or worse, doing one of her speciality quick tidy ups ( because someone pops round at short notice).....that results in neither of us afterwards ever being able to find stuff that she's scurried away into the one remaining drawer,that wasn't already full of s

I told her that they must have seen what was in there when she took it out but I was being daft.She also has a habit of saying "Five and twenty past" rather than twenty five past.
Long sneezes. Really don't get it, my brother does it too. Just sneeze, get it done with, don't draw it out.
Lots of understeer when driving, just goes way too fast into corners and seems almost oblivious to the fact she is pretty much on the other side of the road. She's getting better though, I think she's started noticing my fear.
That's about it really, so not too bad at all.

Food Shopping...
A little background: We do food shopping probably twice a week. Small freeze/Fat bd (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".
This coupled with the shopping costing twice as much with the wife in tow is why I do the shopping on my own on the way back from work!A little background: We do food shopping probably twice a week. Small freeze/Fat b

In and out in 15 minutes for the weekly shop.
She puts her car keys down somewhere in the house then complains later that she can't find them.
She then 'huffs & puffs' around the house turning it upside down and getting more irate because she has no idea where they are.
20 years of me stating "I dont know where you put your car keys" now results in her doing exactly the same palaver but just slightly more quietly. Sometimes to really annoy her, I'll join the search just so I can present them to her with a "here they are you stupid bint" look in my eye.
In hindsight, I'm suprised that I've not been stabbed yet...

I call it over-tidying. Mrs Puggit also only ever really cleans the house when expecting visitors, and she normally loses the plot then too.
She also snores, which 50% of the nights sees me decamping to the spare room (I often need to be up early to go to meetings in <insert country here>. It's getting worse too
The plugs, the bloody plugs 
Apparently everything could explode if things are left switched on Since we bought our own place together though, she has learnt not to touch the TV and associated bits plug. Small victories 
The duvet apparently has a way that it has to go, under no circumstances can the buttons be anywhere but by our feet and only a certain pattern can be facing upwards.
She conveniently forgets that the sodding football is on TV, not until later in the evening when I want to watch something, at that point she remembers and I have to sit through 90 minutes of men running around. Thank god for smartphones and PH
Mind you, she's worth it all and I'm sure that I'm a complete arse to live with.

The state of the inside of the OH's car - it's actually disgusting. The worst bit of this is leaving toast crusts in the cupholders, door bins etc. where she doesn't leave enough time to eat breakfast like a normal person and therefore has to eat on her way to work. I could possibly understand if it was a banger that she didn't have any love for however it's a 62-plate Cooper S Countryman which she adores and has only had since August!?
Apart from that, there's nothing else she does which really grinds my gears.

On my desk I have a photo of me at the airport when I was leaving Germany after a business trip a few weeks ago.Or worse, doing one of her speciality quick tidy ups ( because someone pops round at short notice).....that results in neither of us afterwards ever being able to find stuff that she's scurried away into the one remaining drawer,that wasn't already full of s
t from the last speciality quick tidy up.Today I was looking for my passport for hours because I'm supposed to be in France next week.
I reasoned that I must have put it somewhere safe so I went through all the places I put things to keep them safe and then remembered that I visited my parents on the way home from the airport on that trip, so I went to their house and scoured it.
I found it about 5 minutes ago in a flash of inspiration in the pocket of the suit I was wearing in the bloody photo.
I'm really bad for that.

Moving things around the flat because she was tidying things away. Mainly paperwork which was left out because it needed to be completed soon!
Aaaaahhhhhh,this,drives me feckin nuts!!I started to take pics of paperwork ive left somewhere,just to prove to her shes moved it!She does not like this for some reason?Like most others on here i have a huge list.One thing that winds me up is we'll go to a local supermarket for a couple of things.I wait in the car park and sit for at least half an hour and get more and more wound up looking at cars parking,people going in for goods,coming out then buggering off.This happens again and again,one after another,where in the hell is she??Just where in the hell??!!!She'll then suddenly appear like a vision with her loaf of bread and bag of carrots?

Despite being shown a million fking times my wife doesn't understand how a dishwasher actually works.
I'm sure she thinks it is done by magic.
I once found a half drunk cup of tea in there, right side up.
Then she'll complain that it's on so often.
Yes love, it will be when you use the whole bottom fking row for a vase. On its side.

Still I put my wallet, keys, watch and any other pocket stuff together so in the morning I can just pick them up from the dresser and go. Come.down in the morning, keys are one place wallet another, wouldn't more and so much but she is still finding 'tidy places' to put them that I don't know about.

Doesn't look after nice things.
First time she borrowed my new car - scratches from her rings on the paintwork around door handles.
Multi-thousand pound walnut floor - her dog has scratched it to bits as she doesn't clip his claws.
Tonight she asked me to light the fire - and I see she has hoovered the slate hearth with a 'dustbuster' and scratched the slate to buggery
