What is that one thing that your honey or hubby does that makes you want to just smack the mess out of them? that thing they do they know is going to drive you right up the wall, but they do it anyway? I know for me, my hubby will put a glass on the counter instead of right there in the sink! Man that just drives me batty!!!!!!! i mean why put it on the counter when the damn sink is right there!!??.

Oh I hear you on that one momma! My hubby does that with his glass and everything else he eats off. He has many pet peeves that irritate me from time to time and one of them is where he puts his laundry (dirty clothes) after he wears them. Our apartment is small and its not that hard to walk over to the laundry closet and place the clothes in there - he throws them down in the corner somewhere, hoping I would pick them up LOL I have many-a-time left them there and when he goes around scrambling trying to find his work pants, I'm like, "sorry I don't recall seeing them in the wash" LOL

Okay now the laundry and changing of clothes.......
I do the laundry the most as I am the one that stays home all day.
She takes her clothes off inside out and does not turn them right side out.
I leave them that way even if it's just one leg or sleeve inside out.
Then she gets mad at me for not turning it the right way?
DOHHHH!
Take them off right and then they'll be that way when I fold them.

HAHAHA Grandpa Bob My husband does that too. He never undoes the buttons and if one pant leg is inside out then I wash it like that and leave it for him to iron himself. I have even ironed a shirt inside out because he put it in the wash like that LOL

Quite a few actually.
But I'll concentrate on just the largest.
She constantly spills coffee and water when she does the coffee maker.
I am not talking a little bit either.
She pours the water inside and nearly a cup is on the counter.
It gets under the coffee maker, making a huge mess and potential fire hazard.
She also gets the coffee grounds all over the place as well making coffee.
She then uses a sppon stirring her cup of coffee then leaves the spoon sit dirty on the counter not even rinsing the spoon.
No matter how many times I mention this and show her the right way to do this without making a mess, she still does it HER way.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I put either paper towels or a hand towel under the coffee maker even.
Yet that needs to be changed at least a few times a week she makes such a mess.

I have to remind my hubby to turn the lights off in the various rooms after he leaves them. He's getting a lot better at doing that though, since we have agreed that he is going to be the one to pay the utilities and grocceries, since I'm paying the rent. Nothing to get a message across to someone like getting them to pay for osmething *grin* I know when I moved in here and had to pay everything myself, before he came along, I had to learn the exact same lesson. LOL

HAHAHA! him playing his video games....he gets SOOOO mad and loud. how is that fun, or even relaxing? drives me insane, plus the hours he puts into them.
also trash, that's really his ONE task, and if i don't bag it up and put it in front of the door before he leaves, he won't take it out, even if it's all gushing over the trash bin, in an obvious state of NEEDING to be taken out, he ignores it, won't notice, so if i don't place it for him, it's a no go...THAT drives me nuts, the bin is by the back door of the kitchen anyway, you can't tell me he doesn't notice, well you know he does, however it's extra work to get it out of the can and tie it, THEN take it out....UGH...men!! hahaha. i don't care about the skivvies on the floor or clothes, i just pick them up, and he DOES always hang up his wet towel after showering, THAT'S amazing, haha! but the trash and his stupid vid games, THOSE kill me!! haha

LOL!! yes girl, there is nothing worst then them acting like they don't see the trash over flowing onto the floor! my man will put the trash on the counter if he sees that the trash bag is to full. he won't take the bag out of the can and put his trash in it, tie it up and set it out side. OOOOOOOOOH NOOOOOOO, thats to hard. instead he takes whatever garbage he has and will just put it on the counter. no matter what the trash is! OMG we should be allow to hurt them when they do stupid sh*t like that!!

One thing? I have to stick to one? Is that possible when talking about a man? For me its not possible. LOL Ok, lets see. I put the clothes hamper close to his side of the bed so he can put his dirty clothes in it. Where do they land? On the floor beside the hamper! I can't begin to tell you how many times I've cleaned up shaving gel on the counter and sink, or toothpaste that has oozed out of the tube he left the cap off. Or, how many times he has clipped his toe nails and left them scattered on the floor! UGH! And then there is the fact that he seems to only know how to turn lights on, never off. Or the fact that he can open cabinet doors and drawers but doesn't seem to have the strength to shut them after he is done. Then there are the pop cans... I have a sack right there to put the empty cans in. Yet they land on the table a foot away and always have a small amount of pop left in them. So I have to empty them and put them away myself. I could go on I'm sure, but I've written a book as it is. LOL

hahaha tess.....wow. the pop cans got me....mine leaves them just anywhere he's sitting as well, and drinks so many on the wknds especially so they add up, you'd think if he got up to get ANOTHER he'd take the empty one and throw it....and YES why is there always a lil left in the can??? so IF they get knocked over....of course then i have to clean the carpet as well as picking up ALL HIS CANS....UGH...........men!! hahahahahahahahaha!!

Timeliness. If we make plans or you say you'll be home at a certain time....be on time. It's just common curteousy to do what you say. I understand there are extenuous circumstances sometimes. Being on time is just a show of respect.

I would have to say farting and not being able to carry on a good conversation. The farting gets on my last nerve and it gets very lonesome when we cannot communicate one on one alot of times. The dang remote control to the tv gets on my nerves to when it is always magnetic to his hands.

My man leaves his closet door open all the time. I am constantly closing it and then I go in our room and it's open again. I don't know why it drives me so crazy!

My honey cooks and leaves the dirty utensils he used all over the kitchen counter instead of putting them in the sink. the sink is just an arm length away from the counter...then he spills stuff and won't even wipe it up...another one is brushing his teeth and leaving toothpaste spills in the sink, geesh I hate that.

LOL Mine never throws away an empty container. Just puts the empty thing back on the shelf. If I don't use the item often, such as aspirin or vitamins or whatever, I don't know we are out of it when I go shopping and think the bottle is still full unless I look.

Maybe it is a man thing, my husband will do the same thing. To make it worse, it is usually a glass that he had milk in. Instead of washing the glass, he will leave it on the counter. Then I have to let it soak a while in order to get the dried milk from the bottom. He also, will leave the spoon he stirs his coffee with on the counter, instead of putting it in the sink. He also leaves his closet door open with the light on, I am constantly turning off the light and closing the door, sometimes granted, the cat is in there, but he could still turn the light off.

LOL my husband does this too!! It bothers the crap out of me that he can't rinse the dang glass out. That milk gets like super glue. He also leaves his coffee spoon on the counter. He will also leave the light on in our laundry room, which is where our dog stays. Like the dog needs a light on.

Hey momma! My boyfriend will put the dishes in the sink, but
won't run water on them and will let them sit there and get
the food all caked on until I get to see them and wash them!
That aggravates me! He can wash them just as well as me, but
thinks it's my job! So he will just leave them there! I ask
him to at least run water in them so that the food doesn't
settle and makes it harder for me to clean! He still won't
do that! He also will leave empty soda bottles on the counter
for me to take out to the garbage! He is the first out in
the morning and it will wait until whenever I get up to take
them out! There can be 2 or 3 of them on the top of the kitchen
counter and he will just ignore them in the morning and leave
them there! Just another annoying thing that he does to piss
me off!

hello momma,
it's just simple, when my hubby leaves his dirty clothes hanging inside the CR instead of ducking it direclyt to the dirty clothes bin. and when he puts dirty clothes there, he wont put it inside, it will be just on top of the cover. I dont know why he do that

Oh man don't get me started LOL. Let's see, getting ignored while he plays hours upon hours of online video games...and he is 33 years old is a big one. I second the putting the stuff all over the counter, HELLO we have a dishwasher and it's not me it's the machine right next to the sink. Watching the History Channel or the Military Channel if not playing his video games ALL DAY long. Not helping me with the kids or giving me a DAY OFF from the kids and house work. Moms need breaks too, if we don't get them we go nuts and then our husbands have to deal with us LOL. Not helping our son with his school work. There's a lot more!

I only put it on the counter because 9 times out of 10 you didn't get around to doing the dishes, so the sink is full at the time! ..... So, you really need to get on your job "HONEY". (LMAO!!!)

I always walk to the door to see my husband off in the morning before he goes to work. The thing that gets on my nerves is he will come to my office (I work at home) and tell me "Hey hon, I'm about to leave." So I will stop my work that I'm doing and walk to the door to tell him bye but before he leaves he has two or three other things he has to do, yet he told me "I'm about to leave in the next minute." LOL!! I don't mind walking to the door with him, but in this cold weather it hurts standing there in the door waiting for him to leave LOL!!
