What's the one thing your spouse does

That irritates the crap out of you.............
Breathing
Takes things that she knows I loathe in life and makes them everyday occurrences, e.g. being late for things is the top of the list at the moment.
Take about 10 minute too long to decide what she wants to eat on a menu in a restaurant we have been to at least several dozen times. She always needs a couple of more minutes, so the server usually comes back after taking the food order of a party of 30.
Constantly interrupting me asking do I need help no matter what I am doing around the house. Can't make a move without her trying to get involved. I tell her that I managed for 42 years before she came along and am not too old to fix my own breakfast or lunch.
Not takng the bait...this thread was created by a wife
She does careless crap like forgets to lock the doors when she goes to work or leaves the stove on or a curling iron on all day.

Love my wife, great help to me
That being said, she NEVER puts anything back where she found it. Tools in the garage, pens from my work desk, records we need for taxes, etc. After she touches them, they will be dropped wherever she is standing. And for the things she keeps up with, there is no one place to look, so I spend a lot of time looking for stuff that should always be in one place
[Of course she would say that I NEVER put all the dishes away in the dishwasher, and leave my closet doors open in the bedroom, both of which drive her up the wall]

She will use the cooktop like the countertop, as a catch all.
I always picture driving up to the house with the fire dept. extinguishing the fire.
The chief then tells me it started with the Kroger bag full of Corn Chex in the kitchen.
Before kids, she set a gallon of milk in a plastic jug on a still hot cooktop.
[sick]
Stacks of stuff on every horizontal surface in the house. If there is a counter top, dresser, table, desk, whatever...it's got stuff stacked on it.
Where do I start?
Spends more time talking on the phone then talking to the family (mostly about cheer drama to other cheer moms).
Puts toilet paper on holder backwards. It's supposed to face out from the wall.
Wants to cook big meals but not clean up afterwards (mostly food I don't eat as well).
Lets the dogs in without making sure they are dry (yard tends to stay wet a while after raining) because she is to busy talking on the phone (see issue 1).
Can't fall asleep without having tv on, but doesn't ever set sleep timer. I always have to turn it off myself since I am up later than her.
Treats her vehicle like it is part trash can (always finding bottles and other garbage in there) and then wonders why I don't want her using my vehicle and I get mad when she does and I find trash in my car.
I could go on and on.

That sounds awful.
A friend told me the following joke years ago when I got married. He said that I wouldn't understand it until I had been married a while like him:
Two married Fellas, Jim and Alec were having a beer after work. Jim says: "Have you ever said something when you meant to say something else?" "How do you mean?" said Alec.
"Well, see the other day, I went to buy airline tickets. The rather attractive sales clerk was wearing a low cut blouse and instead of two tickets to Pittsburgh, I asked for “two Pickets to Titsberg"
"Yeah, I know what you mean," said Alec. "Last week I was having breakfast with my wife. I looked at her and meant to say 'Please pass me the Sugar.' But what came out was "You *****, you've ruined my life!!!"

She doesn't turn the lights off when she leaves a room. If I come home in the middle of the day, there's lights on all over the house and she's gone. I'm surprised we don't constantly blow fuses.
Also, she has low power lights and those little battery powered candles all over the place. The house is lit up all night. Some are at least on timers, some stay on 24/7.
I wondered why we bought batteries in bulk. Hell, I only use a couple a year. It's the damn candle lights!
I'm just the opposite. When I'm home alone, I turn off all that **** and walk around in the dark.

Currently playing a very passive-aggressive game of “Will she throw that fast food bag away?” Going on two days. I’ll keep everyone posted.
These Yeti/RTIC cups are great, but around here they stay dirty until they are all used and then, and only then, will they get washed. I have 1 (one) that I use daily. She has upwards of 7. I have washed my last one of hers. Seven day old coffee is not pretty.
Clothes.Everywhere.
Me: buys a snack at the store not for immediate consumption
Her: eats it
I love her more than life itself, but this was cathartic.

Along those lines, we've stored glasses in cabinet A for years but when I look they're not there. I'll ask where they are & she gets pissed & says "look" & then says I moved them to cabinet B. WTF? 48+ years now.
well...he tends to fall asleep and snore, loudly when watching tv shows, movies, games...
Especially games

No matter where we're at or whoever we're with my wife talks on the phone so loud that ......
Just thinking about it broke my concentration............:chairshot:

I think my biggest fights with my wife revolve around her hoarding useless items, clothes, etc. Stuff she hasn’t used or worn in years.
Love my wife but she loves to jump in and start questioning what I am saying to her before I have a chance to finish what I am trying to say.
I once threw away every unnecessary throw pillow in the house while she was at work.
I'll do it again too if that woman ever tries to put a bunch of pointless **** all over the place again, too. I ain't scared.
