That little thing you do.

[GA girl]

What is the one little annoying thing that the person that you love does that makes you go huh?
Mine is…when my husband eats fried chicken he eats it plain. No sauce at all. Won’t even think about putting anything on it. But, when he eats fried chicken tenders, he will not eat it unless he has honey mustard. Now what is the difference? It tastes the same to me whether it has a bone in it or not.

[luvmyboys4ever]

Too funny! Sorry, but I have to agree with the hubby on this one. I will state my case:
Fried chicken still has the skin on, which makes it way too greasy for anything else. Grease and any dip is like oil and water...to me, anyway.
Chicken tenders have no skin, so they are not too greasy. They can handle a little moisture from a dip(straight honey is my favorite).
That's my case and I'm sticking too it!
Now, my DH puts french dressing on his tenders, and that just bothers me to no end!

If my husband grocery shops or we shop together, he won't do the buy 1-get 1 free. Say, for example, we're buying bread and they have the special buy 1 get 1 free on the brand we buy. I say, great, two for one! And I pick up both. He says, "honey, come on, we don't need two. One will just go bad." Frustrates me! Come on, it's free bread. Who cares if we only eat half a loaf? Now I know it's not "free" free, and that the prices go up and down depending and all that blah. But if it's what we normally buy anyway, and they want to give me one for buying one, why would I say no? We always argue about this when the store has those specials.

We have been married 18 years and I love him dearly, but he also eats his pizza with a knife and fork. This past summer at Disney, his plastic fork melted in his pizza. He held it up and all of the tines were bent over. We just told him that is why you don’t eat pizza with a fork. Lol.

DH and I are the opposite! I never want to do the "2 for 1" thing, although, I do it with bread because you can put it in the freezer!

DH drives me crazy with the "weird" food combinations he likes. He does it because he knows it drives me crazy. There is no way that anyone could actually enjoy eating some of the stuff he likes...

O.K. I know you're going to say I asked for it...but, my husband used to do the grocery shopping (until I figured out how much money he was spending). He took DS and DD1 with him. He would buy random proteins, telling the kids, let's see what she can do with this You see, we rate dinners--over 5 can be cooked again, under 5, please no! So my "Huh??!" is all those random proteins!

[Disney Hungarian]

O.K. .... He would buy random proteins...

I have never had a protein that I did not like.

Since no one will chime in about me. I will talk about myself. I have a sort of table etiquette that bothers others. I do not like trash on our dining table. If I go to a restaurant with someone; I do not like them using our dining table as their common trash can. It bugs people to death that I will clean the table off during dinner. So, that's my thing. Just let my OCD do it's thing. I must say that I am in no way a neat freak either. I am a cluttery person, just not a filthy person.

My sweetie refuses to eat leftovers. Once it touches his plate if it doesn't go into his mouth immediately, it is gross/dirty/inedible.

I personally love to cook, and will make large casseroles on the weekends, but he never eats from them unless it is right after it comes out of the oven. Ditto with restaurant food. He'll get the doggy bag out of politeness, then leave it in the fridge for weeks, or refuse to eat it when I give it to him. He claims it is food safety, but I'm sorry, there is absolutely nothing wrong with food a few hours old, covered properly in the fridge. A week old, yeah, I agree it's gross.

I told him he can eat it or cook for himself. So far he cooks, so win-win! :-)

I'm just an all around annoying human being, so I'm quite certain DW would need multiple posts to answer this question about me ...

Me for her? Nothin' ... she's perfect. And she reads these boards. And that's my story. And I'm stickin' to it.

Good Answer Ian!!!

Fred is perfect too...I'm sticking too it! Maybe a little messy at times, but all in all no complaints...LOL!

I'll add another one (or two) since some of us are taking the high road. Not just the husband for this one but also my kids. I seem to be the only one in my house who shuts the kitchen cabinets. Drives me crazy. You get something out. Shut the cabinet. You put something in. Shut the cabinet. Seems so logical to me, and yet-- my cabinets are always wide open, as if it's such a terrible amount of work to close them. They're not heavy doors!

Also, I am the only one in my house who has mastered putting toilet paper on the roller. Yay me! Such an advanced technical skill. Apparently.

[Jen C.]

Something along the lines of what Sherri said...

My DH never fully closes his dresser/bureau drawers, or kitchen drawers....any drawers. He leaves them just sticking out ever so slightly. Drives me insane. Certifiably insane.

[princessjojo]

There are several very small things he and the kids do that send me over the edge, but the biggest thing is the whole dishes/dishwasher thing. If the dishes in the dishwasher are dirty or the machine is empty, then put your dishes in it when you finish. I call it the rinse and remove method. Rinse them off and remove them from the sink.

I will admit that the thing I do that infuriates my DH the most is my shoes. They're everywhere--by the door, in the bathroom, behind the sofa, under the coffee table. I try and have gotten better, but where I pause it where they come off.

[Dulcee]

The most annoying thing, my DBF will only eat one thing at a time on his plate. I love to cook and I plan meals around everything going together and then he eats all the protein, then the vegetable, then the starch.

Always irks me!

[lynnek]

Sherri--the toilet paper thing is an epidemic

[TikiGoddess]

My husband will NOT clean out the sink strainer. I'll start making dinner and look in the sink to find soggy cereal that has been sitting there all day. EEEEWWW.

He basically said that if it bothers me, then I should do it. My point was if he loved me, he would do it BEFORE I found it because he knows it bothers me!!

Okay, thought of one that really drives me insane!!!

DH leaves his dirty clothes on the floor. All. The. Time.

I hate it. Part of me wants to leave it there and just see how much piles up before he gets the hint. The other part of me cannot stand to look at it, so I pick it up and put it in the hamper.

The worst is when he leaves the dirty clothes on the floor RIGHT NEXT TO the hamper.

Needless to say, I've trained our boys very well. They know where their hamper is, and what to do with their clothes!

[DVC2004]

My husband is a loud eater. He makes this smacking noise with his mouth when he eats, then after he's he takes air through his teeth ( well I guess the space between his teeth would be more accurate; makes like a sucking noise). It is so annoying! Me and the kids are always telling him. LOL. I will have to ask him what he would say about me.

[Mom2Princess']

Last night at dinner DH and both DD's were making slurping sounds with their soup. This I overlooked. But after dinner I asked them why it was that only 1 chair was pushed in? (of course it was mine) They said they were waiting for me to do it while I mumbled. Then they started to laugh. Although I know they were making fun of me, I laughed too.

I won't eat leftovers either, drives DH crazy.

And the toilet paper thing? Very advanced skills are needed to learn it. My family had come to the conclusion that if there is still one square no matter how scraggly it looks it's not quite empty so it doesn't need changing!

[Mousefever]

My wonderful husband cannot eat cereal quietly. It used to bother me enormously, but now I try to remember all of his good traits when he's loudly enjoying his cereal.

Also, when he puts the dishes away I always have to play hide n seek to find things. It's like, "I wonder where he put the cookie sheet and knives THIS time." But at least he unloads the dishwasher!
