I was just in a friends discussion and he was giving a bit of a rant, and I had a good laugh at it. One of the perks to mylot is that we all can come here and post our annoyances of family and friends. It is a safe place to vent and we always have so much support from our friends here. I believe that it actually might save an argument or two at home because we have all ready hashed it out and aired our dirty laundry here. What I do not read very often is what we ourselves do to annoy our partners,S/O. LMAO what would they be ranting and venting if they were here posting in our stead? What do you do that totally drives your S/O nuts? If you are not assigned as of yet what drives your friends bonkers? The confessional is open all are welcome.

The one thing I do know for a fact that drives my hubby nuts is when I ask him to do something and he doesn't want to do it. Could be anything, big or small. Another thing is whenever I'm on the route and see junk that someone put out for the garbage and it's too big to fit in my car. I'll call hubby with his truck to come get it. Lots of times he doesn't want to yet wonders why we can't find junk anywhere to take in for money. Like duhhhhhhhhhh......I'm finding them but he won't come get it. We pick-up/haul scrap metal (junk) to the scrap yard and get cash for it. Seems alot of people are doing that nowadays with the price of gas and food going up. Used to be I could walk any road and find tons of cans. Not lately cause e1 is doing it for the money.

I was just telling Sherry above you Blackbrair that I get lots of grumbling to over my Honey Do list. He does most things but reluctantly. Now if it meant making money he would be on it like white on rice. he is not lazy when it comes to adding a few dollars to our bank account. Shesh it costs a fortune anymore just to drive back and forth to work.

I hear ya there! I swear, if I offered to pay my own hubby to do something around the house, he would be on it and stick with it till the end. Tired of hearing, "I'll do it this Saturday". -sighs- I end up doing it cause many Saturdays will go by and still won't get done.

Oh, this is fun! Let's see: I spend too much money - LOL - I'm still trying to teach my hubby the difference between quality and quanity, but he only sees cheep vs. expensive. I don't worry enough - he says he has to worry for the both of us. My family is all from out of town and stay with us when they're here (not really me that drives him bonkers, but they ARE my family). I don't care if his team wins or loses. I'm a book abuser - yes that's right, I lay them face down open, I turn down pages - sue me! I'm always putting in a new garden, which means lots of heavy lifting from him. That's all I can think of now, but give me some time......

Angel my love. Imagine if you will the paradise that is the p1kef1sh's marriage. 21 years of pure unadulterated bliss. Never a tense moment. Never a cross word, just unadulterated lovey doveyness between two beautifully matched opposites! There are one or two things that test her patience apart from my penchant for dying honeymoon lingerie grey. Let's take the subject of the marital bed. We have a duvet that lies over us at night. For reasons that I do not fully understand I tend to lie with one leg under and the other over. During the night I move about apparently and slowly twist the duvet around myself leaving her exposed and cold. I am very fond of a mug of tea. But I have a habit of leaving the mugs lying about. She has pointed out my errors in this respect many times but apparently I do not listen. Also, when I do manage to stumble into the kitchen with said mug. Rather than place it in the dishwasher I tend to leave it on the draining board. That's not good Angel. I also leave my shoes at the bottom of the stairs where they can be tripped over rather than in the cupboard where they should live, Finally, and I am quite embarrassed to admit this. But I know that only we two will know. She is not amused when I break wind, especially in bed. She had powerful olfactory senses and these are offended by what she unkindly calls "Methane Man's smells". Does that help?

rotflmao Pike, my husband is a cover stealer as well, and on nights when he is tossing and turning and I am fighting for cover I will get my own and lay down at the opposite side of the bed, (my feet in his face kind of thing) and sleep there. Some nights I just give in and start the night at that end because I am tired.. lmao and that drives him crazy. But dang it sometimes goes the other way too with these damnedable hot flashes, he is just to hot to lay next too... My husband it is not his coffee mug that never gets put away it is his coat, for 28 years I have nagged and nagged about him hanging up his coat, I even a few years ago bought a nice coat stand and yet he still insists on hanging them on the backs of my kitchen chairs. Arrgggg Living with three boys and a husband I have grown quite use to "Methane Man's smells" rotflmao yes indeed Sugar it most certainly helps more than you know :)))))

It drives him crazy that I am here (on the puter) a majority of the time. But he watches crap that I am not interested in, so I come here. There are sooooooooooooooo many things I COULD be doing... but .... you all know how that goes.. He has threatened to tattoo a keyboard on his groin I said, Would you really do that for me
• United States
25 Apr 08
rotflmao LMAO great idea the keyboard on the groin. I was wondering how long it would take for the computer issue to arise. Mine is pretty laid back about my time on the computer, working on computers is what I am doing now for a pay check. But I think in our early years it probably would have bothered him bunches.

My husband gets annoyed by the computer too. He doesn't care all that much as long as I am in the same room with him. It is a laptop so I can take it anywhere. I try to get online when he is asleep, watching movies or playing Xbox 360. He whines sometimes when he wants me to pay attention to him or lay with him and watch a movie (I get bored watching movies).

I tune him out. I tend to leave things for him to do because he gets fed up and does them before I do. I put discussions / arguments off until later. I guess those are the worst ones.

Dawn this is a big one for my husband as well, I have learned to completely tune everyone out so if I am working or at my computer, reading I hear nothing other than my own thoughts.. he will yell Tammi did you just hear a word I said... OPPPSSS NO what was it again... LMAO kills him.

Very wise words there angel my sweet! lol There are so many things I do to send my other half bonkers I would be here for the next week listing them all! I think the thing he hates most is when I am constantly asking where he is going. There is a reason though - he is the type that will disappear and you won't see him for hours or he says he is going for a paper and comes back an hour later with bags of groceries AND a paper! lol xxx

Mark is not as bad about that as he once was... LMAO I have learned to shorten that leash.. But what gets his goat I think the most about me is that I insist that he bring me home receipts of everything he buys. I keep the checkbook pay all of the bills and he will often not write down checks he wrote or ATM with drawls makes it hard to keep track of what is coming and going therefore I make him hang on to every receipt for everything.. LMAO I don't care how little he spent I want the paper showing it to me. Otherwise he can take checkbook and bills in hand and he wants nothing to do with it.. gives him a headache trying to figure out how to stretch them and still eat LMAO.

Yeah, you're right. Now it makes me feel guilty about talking about them for the whole mylot to know. Well, I guess my husband cannot stand it if I just sit around without doing any household chores for the day. When he starts to complain and I talk back then thats really drives him nuts! Not much of a good wife, I am.

I do so little wrong that I am having a hard time coming up with anything! The fact that I am right 99.5% of the time can sometimes get under his skin. But that is not MY fault! I can't help that I am always right! tee hee The thing that he loves the most is when I ask him a question and answer it myself without giving him the chance to speak. He really appreciates that. If I am in a mood and happen to get mad at him for something that happened 5 years ago. He likes that a lot too. Especially when he has no idea what I am talking about because I have learned that guys memories don't quite operate the same way as girls. We know what drives the other crazy. We love each other anyway. We even joke about it.

Man we are bad as women about not forgetting a single misdeed. I do that sometimes as well, and he is left speechless as he does not even remember. That drives my husband batty as well, he is always says How can I keep defending myself for something I have forgotten... LMAO How can they forget! its not fair and we know it, just helpless to stop it sometimes.

According to people I have dated, I always have to be right, especially in an argument. I think that he failed to remember, I'm pretty much right all the time. If I'm not I wouldn't argue that Iam in the first place. That and my ex didn't like my beauty product addiction. I can't help I love beauty stuff..a girl needs to look pretty.

The one thing that I do which annoys him more than anything is that when he goes out in the evening to play his snooker matches because they end late I go to bed before he gets in, he says without fail im laid right across the bed and he spends up to ten minutes trying to move me lol cos I dont ever wake up im always too tired, that and I lay on the duvet like cushion it under my side and hold on tight, mostly though thats to stop him stealing it in the night! The thing he does to annoy me most is il ask him what time is when we wake in the morning and he can say oooh its 6am and il get up and find its like not even 5.30 I dont know if he dreams he looked at the clock or what but it drives me nuts!

He definitely did:) I mean run out of happy. There are MANY things and 90 per cent of them are not done on purpose but he hates it when i interrupt him. I don't always interrupt and i usually do that if I get a fresh idea and i'm afraid I might forget it. I myself don't mind people interrupting me as long as they have something interesting to say. So true about posting complaints about S/O:))))))
