  • most annoying habits?

    Hi peeps, this is a contentious one!
    What are your OH's most annoying habits? Cutting the tops off your prize beetroots?

    1) leaving wet towels screwed up in the bath

    2) when cooking, not putting any of the ingredients away again, like milk back in the fridge



    I KNOW HE'D SAY MINE ARE:
    1) filling the bathroom with makeup and hair products
    2) drying my knickers on the windowsill (its faster that way, when its raining)
    3) putting everything in Tupperware
    4) saving all plastic tubs and bottles for reusing at some point in the future
    5) hiding or giving away all the sweets and choc he buys for himself
    6) putting Chard in every dinner that I can. He hates it, but we have SO MUCH!!
    7) buying own brand basics instead of proper branded ones
    8) telling him how to change gears on his bike

    Just had a big barney with OH for buying onions from Tesco's when I've got an allotment full of em!
    I did some thinning of my carrots the other day and got a pan full of succulent thinnings. After washing and scrubbing them I topped and tailed them leaving a tiny bit green on each and put them in a pan full of water ready for the supper. Came home later with other veg for supper to find OH had chopped the small bit of green off each carrot and cut them into slices!!!Grrrrrrr!

        Don't mind cooking them whole but find that bit of green one the top really annoying, it's like you can't be bothered to prepare them properly so am with your OH on that one. Bet they tasted nice which ever way they were done.

        Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

        Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

          My OH(Madderbat) suffers from "Chorus Interuptus" (buts in before I have finished what I was saying)

            Dear Bubblewrap, Madderbat doesn't suffer from Chorus Interuptus - she just can't wait for you to work out what what you want to say so she says it for you. I should know as my OH (Scared 55) has the same problem with me.

                Twitching her foot when it is in my peripheral vision, (the bit most sensitive to movement), while I'm watching TV or reading.

                Thats the trivial one, heres the big one.

                Never ever ever helping in the garden or allotment, not even to pick fruit.
                Always thank people who have helped you immediately, as they may not be around to thank later.

                  Going out soon so haven't got time to list them all just now - will return to this thread tomorrow though. Some of those already listed ring bells with me too - espesh the carrot and onion one - I grow veg for a living so why does she go and buy some - all she has to do is pick up the phone and tell me what she wants me to bring home.

                    I'm afraid to say that I took a strop and chucked the whole lot in the bin, water and all!

                    I would only leave the green bit on the top on tiny carrots (thinnings) as I think it adds a bit of colour and makes them a little bit special, which they are!

                    Ahhhh well, I froze another half dozen portions as well so I'll just have to cook em up for myself when she's not about!

                      Hmmm.. I think I have OH fairly well trained now

                      But....

                      He doesn't think twice about going to the loo with the door open

                      Oh, and he doesn't clear up when he's cooking as he goes aloing so I end uyp having toi clear it all away


                      My faults would be that I'm bl**dy picky and I nag

                        Not letting the water out of bath, even when I've said that I don't want to get in after him, and leavng me to empty and clean it.
                        He makes his ankle click and he knows it really winds me up and brings out my murderous tendencies!!

                        He will say I'm picky and impossible to please, and there's no point doing anything cos I'll only moan its not done right!!
                        He says I never put the lids on stuff properly and always leave the milk out.

                              OH winds me up by not recognising when the laundry has been sorted into a darks basket and a lights basket before adding stuff, wrapping black socks up in a white teeshirt so I have to shake everything out. I wind OH up by forgetting to take my garden trainers off at the back door just after he's vacuumed the floors and making chili just a tiny bit too spicy.

                              you have a right to be here.
