Those little annoying traits of the other half
Discussion
Leaving stuff around the house in random places, as if its just too hard a task to finish putting them where they should be. Earnings and make-up paraphernalia on the kitchen worktop, magazines and unopened mail in little piles, pegs on the lawn...and so on.
The biggest bugbear is putting empty containers/packets back when she knows they are now empty! Empty bottleos of wine in the fridge, empty shampoo bottles in the bathroom... Lazy f

She gave it the big eye-roll as I stood in the rain and gave her a lesson in door closure etiquette! 
You sir are a gentleman, I hope she appreciates your efforts.Reminded me of this, not the OH but a female work colleague. Gave her a lift in the car, when we stopped she pushed open the door - too hard, it hit the stop and bounced back at her, annoyed she pushed it harder (because that was obviously the problem) this happened 3 or 4 times before I incredulously said "Can you stop doing that", then got out and opened the door for her.

The mentalist that used to live next door to me used to slam her double-glazed kitchen door all the time, drove me up the wall, you could hear/feel the whole house shake as she gradually tried to dislodge the whole UPVC unit from its fixing.
We recently had ours replaced with similar. What does the wife do? Yep, joins club door slam! This think is precision engineered to close in total silence if you can be bothered just to use the handle.
I took her to task about it today, before seeing this thread. She gave it the big eye-roll as I stood in the rain and gave her a lesson in door closure etiquette!

"I've gone overdrawn, can you do a transfer?", about 2 weeks after she's been paid.
"I've got no petrol in mine, I'll just take yours to the shops/mum's/Lakeside..."
But the worst, the one that will end up with me giving her a Stone Cold Stunner, is taking the tea bag out of my cup of tea before bringing it to me. I know that sounds wrong on about ten different levels, but goddamn it annoys me.

Half of the ones already mentioned apply to me so I won't list them all!
When I'm driving she will always be stamping on the imaginary brakes in the passenger footwell, or yelping with shock when someone appears at a side road (despite not looking remotely like they are going to pull out), or complaining in general about driving too fast. She is a considerably faster driver than at all times though.
She also seems oblivious to pot holes in the road.

Preparing food = all ingredients left on the work surface
All make up and beautifying products left out after use, lids off etc
all bathroom and kitchen cleaning products left out after use
days later she'll complain that no-one tidies up in the house
She must switch off all sockets and not just at night - having to re-boot wifi every day
I clean her car inside and out - 1 day later, plastered with make up, hair, hair brushes, food wrappers, pens, coins, random phone chargers, parking tickets, loose/scratched CDs.
At least one new clothing item bought weekly to add to a set of wardrobes that were full to start with - At least one new pair of heels a month to add to the wardrobes that were full to start with - sliding wardrobe doors now broken.
Any time not doing the above is spent staring at her mobile on facebook or texting.
...I feel better now...
...she is gorgeous though

Throwing her iPad Mini across the room. She asked me to write her a letter last night after I'd settled down to watch the F1. She then got the hump because it wasn't worded how she wanted!
She also slept in the other bed. And stamped up and down the stairs. And ignored me this morning.
I poked her on Friday though, so I don't need anything for a few more days.
