Why oh why does she:

Use metal spoons in non stick saucepans?
Never rewind the power lead on the Dyson, just scrumple it it in a heap?
Put cutlery in the dishwasher upside down?
Never put the cap back on the toothpaste?
Frequently collect anything in the house that belongs to me and dump it on my desk?
Leave After Eight wrappers in the box?
ALWAYS, bloody ALWAYS, paint her nails just as we are about to go out?

The list could go on.. and I getting old? Do I need to get out more? Or does anybody else have similar problems?

She's a woman, that's normal behaviour! You should have read the small-print before signing the contract.
It's better to have to put up with these things that not have a partner at all!

I swear my ex used to load the dishwasher from a range of about eight feet. Something I don't miss. Nor her method of putting crockery away on top of whatever else was in the cupboard and quickly shutting the door.

I'm sure, though, that if you asked your OH you would learn about some of your own 'lovable quirks'.....

This does all seem to be normal behaviour.

And at least she's using the toothpaste.

...goes back to the thread I posted a while back about "ridiculously annoying things your OH does".

It still bugs me that we have about 50 fking cushions on our bed.

WHY WHY WHY???

Had an ex that did two things that drove me nuts.

1. Dumped used teabags in the sink. The bin was 2 foot away!

2. Would put lids back on jars and bottles so loose that when you picked something out of the fridge by the top it would just clear the shelf, come loose, drop and smash all over the floor, my shoes and the bottom of my trousers. Every bloody time.

I, of course, am perfect...

If it bugs you that much, tidy them up into a binbag in the garage.

She's a woman, what more or less would you expect? Standard Operating Proceedure for the fairer sex I'm afraid.

Have you also noticed the mind numbing statements?

"We need a bigger bin for the kitchen"
why?
"because this one is always full"

yep, it will be if you don't empty it... a bigger one will take a little longer to fill, but if you don't empty it IT WILL STILL ALWAYS BE FULL mad

Because it REALLY impresses all the other split ar5es that spend all day round at your house drinking your coffee, watching your colourvision, and cooing moronically about interior design while you are out earning a crust.
