What does the OH do that really ****es you off?
Discussion
Trivial things such as suggesting how I may do something I'm already doing better. Or passenger seat driving. Or shouting at me because I'm driving to fast.
All of the above pales into comparison to one thing she does so well. She makes me realise I'm a bit of a dick. She's let's me be me when stressed or angry from a long day. But somehow, without being angry with me or blunt she makes me realise I've been a mahooosive dick. Hat winds me up. She's good chaps. She's good!

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.
You are not alone this is exactly what Mrs Standards does ALL THE TIME.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.

Not that this is much consolation...

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!
WTF is wrong with petrol stations ?I hope she's dam good looking, great cook and can suck a golf ball up a hose pipe.

Can't believe that so many of you put up with all this crap.
I suppose the fact I simply wouldn't put up with it is probably the reason I'm single but you know what... I'd rather be single than put up with 1/10th of the crap that most of the posters over the last 4 pages have detailed.
You know what? You're right! I'm leaving her. Much better to be sad and aloe than compromise at all.I suppose the fact I simply wouldn't put up with it is probably the reason I'm single but you know what...

Compromise is all well and good, and in some cases that's all it is, but many of the examples in this thread are simply descriptions of selfish, self obsessed, lazy and not terribly bright (but no doubt attractive, which is of course all that matters) women.
Can you all really not do any better? Seriously, some of you guys must have real esteem problems to put up with the s
t that you do!

Couldn't agree more... I may be alone but I'm far from sad and I know I would be a damn sight sadder (not to mention far more stressed and far less happy) living in a house where I had to put up with the things that many of the posters on here do.
I, on the other hand, am happily married and have been for a long time, but reading some of the posts on this thread makes me shudder. standards said:

Another thing she does as we are just leaving to go out is to decide to empty the washing machine and hang up the clothes as its "just finished" I tell her what difference does it make as it may have finished when we have got in the car; doesn't matter as it needs to be done now, so I end up hanging around aimlessly with my shoes and coat on, which I bloody hate doing.

I don't like leaving stuff in the washing machine once it is finished, it makes it a pain in the arse to iron polo shirts. That said, I wouldn't put the washing on unless I knew I'd have time to hang what needs to be hung and tumble dry what needs to be tumble dried. Bloody women!Mine came back from a meal telling me how nice it was, and how expensive it was, then I see the transaction of said expense on my bank account, I get called a tight arse for saying anything, I pay all the bills, food, petrol, car stuff etc etc and end up with left about the same as she clears so it isn't like I have a bottomless pit of salary left.
Then she posts a picture of herself in a daft hat on Facebook, then I realise said daft hat cost £35 from my account as well, this was part of her getting me a coat for my birthday, she bought two and took one back that I didnt like, paid for them from my account so this was the refund, told her she can have it for Christmas. Not sure when I will see the money for the coat, if I ask I will get told to stop moaning.
Just easier to say nothing but sometimes you need to stick up for yourself, not hard up for the odd £100 or so but its the principle, if she asked I would probably say yes but I work out what I have spare and then I realise it is less than I thought.
The irony is that when Natwest Fraud Prevention contacted me a while back about suspect activity on my account she was on me like a rash to call them, she didnt like it when I said they had probably spotted her

t like you describe.And leaving the car every single weekend without a drop of petrol in. I assume she either puts £2 at a time into it, or uses what I put it and then doesn't go anywhere. Or some tax that was supposed to go into savings via her account that never ends up there.
Or the fact that she just uses my iTunes account to buy stuff instead of setting up her own.
Or her 'rule' that any money found in my pockets when she does the washing is hers
Or her telling me that her car needs servicing instead of just getting her car serviced.
The list is f
king endless.She moults like a dog, seriously, I find long brown hairs EVERYWHERE, she says it's because she needs a haircut due to how thick/heavy it is, but she's always at the bloody hair dresser and it costs a fortune.
As per many others she enjoys a good conversation from the other room whilst a noisy appliance is on, then gets grumpy as she thinks I'm being rude/ignoring her.
She also things I must be a human radiator in bed.... Her feet, how is it even possible for a human to be that cold?
The worst thing she ever did though, was use a knife to cut an onion up on my kitchen work surface, before we lived together, chopping boards in plain sight, I really lost it then, maddest I have ever been at her,

Granite work surfaces are what you need. I fitted mine ten years ago (DIY) and they're still unmarked.I have got quite good at sharpening knives, though....
