Do you have anything that just bugs you that your SO does???
You know like does he or she pick their nose and wipe it on the counter??? Or wake up in the middle of the night and pee in the sink all over your toothbrush??? (just examples mind you :rolleyes: )
This came up, because my otherwise extremelly clean natured and neat wife barely hangs her bath towel up every morning and it always falls to the ground....I go in after her and pick it up everyday. I have done this ever since we have lived together and have never said anything....just a peeve I guess.

My husband, once he is drunk mind you, always points one finger at me and winks while making this noise. It bugs the crap out of me. My friends all think it is so cute. WELL IT ISN'T, ok ok unless I am drunk too. hehe ;)

I think he does this shit to see IF I will say something......but I never have and he's seen how I do it and he still does it "HIS" way!
I put the TP on to roll over the top.........he puts it on to come up from the bottom........ARRGGGGGGGGGG!
I fold jeans ass cheek to ass cheek, then in half (waist to ankle) and in half again (fits best in the drawer this way).........he folds them 1/3 down the leg then 1/3 again.........ARRGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*wonders if he remembers we have guns in this house!*
JK.......JK.....guys! I don't know where the bullets are!

Where do I even start! Don't get me wrong, my SO makes me smile and that has to count for something. But I don't understand taking his clothes off in every room of the house without a clothes basket. It doesn't matter if it's the bathroom or the kitchen. Nasty socks on my couch, boxers next to the back door? I just don't get it.
And the dumb questions when it comes to my daughter. "What's wrong with her? Why's she crying? Is she hungry?" Um...why don't you ask her? I'm sure at 9 months old she's just dying to tell you what's on her mind after you've let her set in the wet diaper for an hour! I am not all knowing.
Ok I realy could go on and on about stupid little things. But I know I bother him too...Like when I never finish a soda I open!

Why do I have a feeling this thread is going to be e-mailed to S/Os all over Pixie land?!?
Tyler also leaves socks on my couch. He was in the middle of doing it last night and I glared at him. His reply?
"I took the last pair away . . . oh wait? Did I? Was that you?"
I try to do housework every day . . . he likes to do several hours in one day once or week or so AND THEN WHEN he does do housework, he expects a ticker tape parade to come rolling through the house! :)

I treat a scheduled event as a deadline, Dearsweet considers it a goal. What I see as a point on a timeline she treats as a likelihood with a probability. As I recollect, the last time she was intentionally on time was back in ‘94 … or was it ’95? Hard to say…

Well my bf.. well I'm still twitterpated and um he is very far away, so I don't have any complaints!!
But this guy in my study group was telling us once that his wife has a very good method for getting him to do his part of the housework.. He says as far as he can tell, she isn't manipulating, it's just the way she is..
She told him once she feels more "romantic" when the house is clean, so he'll do the dishes or clean the bathroom and show her and he definitely gets paid well for it... So over the years they've built this system where he helps out cuz he gets consistently rewarded .. hehe
(I can understand that too, even alone I prefer my bedroom to be clean so I can relax and then it's more fun to play than when it's messy like it is now!!)

And one more thing...........
ROFLMFAO!
Um.......What's with taking off the work boots and putting them under the coffee table? Really looks lovely when we have guests!
Oh....wait......two more things! I refuse to turn work socks right-side-out, to wash, after he's been stomping around in the mud all day and sweating like a nut in those aforementioned work boots!
Whew! K....I think I am done now!

My S/O (hehehe...that's you babes ;) ) doesn't have a lot of habits which annoy me (although I have LOADS that annoy him!) but he does have a tendancy to use a word that I absolutely despise, so Fussy, for one last time:
YOU CAN CALL IT A TUMMY, A STOMACH, A TUZZY, A MIDDLE, AN ABDOMEN JUST PLEEEEEEAAAAAAASE DON'T CALL IT A BELLY!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........
Hey Skip - I think you're right. We people DO have issues. :p
Lilith

But they are my issues and I like them :p

but who (or is that whom) issued them????
Steph

Who issued them (they were issued to whom?) - Grammatical lesson sponsored by Steph :)
OK then Skip and Scarecrow - - - - show us this petty household gripes through the eyes of a male: how do socks on the couch add to the decor? How are the boots under the coffee table nicer than the vase ON the table? :)

Oh well, hopefully some slobs would like to post! Any takers?
LixyChick

LOL! Calling all slobs!
Please explain (as Steph has asked) how you might think that work boots under a living room coffee table adds to a decor!
And while I'm on the subject.........I don't give a flying crap about ya'll putting the toilet seat down when you are through. I don't put it up when I'm done...so fair's fair...right? And the toothpaste cap? Pffffffffffffffft! Ain't no thang! It makes it easier for me to aquire some paste when the early morn has me all confused.....and if it squeezes/oozes out from just laying there....it's also a great countertop shiner-upper! But........
Those hairs on the countertop look surprisingly similar to the curlies from down below............and I know they aren't but you'll be the one explaining it to our company when I see the look on their face as they exit the bathroom. I don't leave my long locks laying around for you to trip over them.....could you at least clean the beard hair out of the sink after you tighten up the dark hairy thing?
Whew! Am I done? I mean....I am done!

He chews WAY too loud, won't turn lights off, and won't shut the dresser drawers all the way.
