She surfs the SDMB (she isn’t a member and refuses to become one) she reads all of my posts, then yells at me;
“Why did you say that,… don’t tell strangers that…why do you post things that upset people…that’s not exactly how that happened…why didn’t you say this instead of that…why were you talking about pornography…when did you post that…blah,blah, etc”:rolleyes:
That’s what annoys the heck out of me! If Mrs. Bieghts has a problem with my posts she should come on here, am I right folks?
My wife (married 2 1/2 months) would set her alarm about 45 minutes before she had to get up and then use the snooze alarm repeatedly. I do not understand how it is better to be woken up 4 times before you actually get up over waking up once. It takes me a while to fall asleep and I am easily distracted from the task by noises around the house, AND my schedule was two hours off from hers, so this was the usual routine…
6 AM - alarm goes off, wakes both of us up, she gets up and hits snooze
6:09 AM - I am just about ready to fall asleep when snooze alarm goes off, waking us up, she gets up and hits snooze
6:18 AM
6:27 AM
6:36 AM - see above
6:45 AM - actually gets up and starts getting the kid and herself ready to go. Hair drying, showering, and cartoon/kid noises keep me up until…
7:30 AM - she leaves
7:50 AM - I am finally able to fall back asleep. That is, if the morning bird choir is practicing on somebody elses balcony that day.
9 AM - I have to get up and get ready to go to work.
It wasn’t so bad if I go to sleep at the same time as her, but hitting the sack an hour and a half after I get home from work sucks, and if I’m not already sleepy when I go to bed I will probably be lying awake another 2 hours anyway.
I really can’t complain too much, when I said something about it she set her alarm later and quit using znooze, and started drying her hair in the computer room on the other side of the apartment. I then switched to a 10 PM - 7 AM schedule that fits well with hers, and she says she has gone back to using the snooze button. Sigh.
About the only other thing she does that annoys me is reading ulterior motives into my actions and getting mad at me about them. As I mentioned recently in another forum here, when I recently said I did not want to buy a car from a particular car dealership because of an unscrupulous sales pressure tactic they tried to use on us she blew up at me because she thought that I was really just unhappy with the price of the car she picked and I was using that as an excuse. Sometimes the things she assumes about my motives make me wonder, if she thinks I’m that much of an asshole, why is she with me?
My SO forgets things I tell him too. Like my sister’s wedding
Me (Two months before) - Don’t forget June 3rd is the wedding
Him - I won’t
Me (One month before) - Hey my sister’s wedding is the 3rd, don’t forget.
Him - I won’t
Me (Two weeks before) - So, a week from next Saturday is my sister’s wedding.
Him - I know
Me (a week before) - Next Saturday, are you picking me up for the wedding?
Him - What wedding? I have a fundraiser carnival at the community club, geez babe, I wish you had told me sooner.
HUH??
Also, he starts but doesn’t finish sentences, for example
Him - So then what you have to do is…(trails off)
Me - What?
him - What?
Me - You didn’t finish the thought. What were you going to say?
him - Oh. I don’t remember.
GRRRRRR!
- Puts bread in toaster.
- Cooks toast.
- Removes toast, places directly on counter.
- Removes stick of butter from fridge.
- Peels butter like banana and proceeds to rub all over toast.
- I come home 8 hours later to find crumbs everywhere and some very happy ants. Also leaves the butter in a pretty attractive state.
I’ve been fighting this battle for 10 years. And now I find that my wife has taught my kid this very same trick.
Would it be whining if I complained about my wife crawling into bed for 2 days whenever her period starts?
Well, when I did live with my wife, one of the things she did that bothered me was that she’d push me to one side of the bed, then roll the duvet around herself so that it was impossible for me to move back.
But more than that, she was just too tidy! Too organised! Tells you more about me, really, I know.
But if truth be told I don’t think anything she did really bothered me that much. Not anything that I can think of, now that she’s gone. 
Aw, Duke, I’m sure she was a real pain sometimes. Everyone is. 
I’m sorry you’re missing her right now.
:mad: My husband has started a new thing that is DRIVING ME CRAZY. Short trip, I know, but still, if he doesn’t stop it, I’m going to scream! He’ll be in the middle of talking and to make a point in the middle of the sentence he’ll do the “da-do-da-do” thing (like from “da-do-da-do-CHARGE”) before the point of his statement. This could eventually lead to violence if it is not stopped. Where did he pick this annoying habit up anyway?
Okay, one more. When he and his best friend are conversing every second word is “Fuck”. I’m not kidding. It’s “So I was walking down the fing street and I saw this fing guy standing there right and f*** if his didn’t fing spit on the fing car parked right fing there, s what a motherf*****.”
My husband talks during TV programs and movies. Always, no exceptions. I can’t tell you the dialogue that I’ve missed. He gets very sulky and annoyed if asked to be quiet and turns it back on me, “Why are you being so mean to me.” Etc.
He never, ever, ever folds or puts away laundry. He’ll wash things but they just live in the basket until he wears them.
But, he’s a great guy and I’ve learned to live (for the most part) with these things because in the balance of things there are more good qualities than bad.
She always asks “what are you thinking?” type questions. Usually at the wrong time. What’s amazing is sometimes she’ll ask and I won’t really know what I was thinking. I was just spacing out or going with a feeling I had about something.
I know I annoy her when we’re all smoochy before going to bed and then in my sleep I wage a titanic battle over the covers. I never remember a thing.
She tends to talk alot, but then I hardly talk at all, so it balances out nicely. To me at least.
He blows me kisses, sans hands. He does it EVERY SINGLE TIME he finishes a sentence. It’s okay at home but he’s my company’s computer consultant and he does it at work, too. Grrrrr…
Occasionally, Mrs. B leaves the stove on. On the nights when she cooks I have to check the stove before I sit down to eat to see if any burners are on. The first thing she did when we got the new stove was set fire to the instruction booklet. She also melted the egg tray from the refriderator.
I learned a long time ago never to pick up any jars or containers by the lid, 'cause she often doesn’t put the top back on things, she just sets it back on top. Makes it hard to get things out of the back of the refridgerator.
She talks to me when I’m not in the room. I’ll be upstairs and she’ll be downstairs in the kitchen, and she’ll start telling me a long, involved story. And she gets mad when I yell: “I can’t hear you.”
The worst thing is, I’ll be tested on it later.
She thinks faster than she talks, and she doesn’t realize that she has atarted a brand new sentence before her mouth was finished with the last one.
These things are more amusing than annoying to me though,
I can be a real pain in the ass at times too.
I guess it evens out, and we are very happy together.
How about the fact that the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot and a four star film featuring “Carrot Top” seem to be more likely to exist than my would be spouse? 
Who really needs to know about what I perceive to be Lola’s faults besides Lola?
She is actually quite perfect in every way… her little faults are just a part of who she is. I wouldn’t and couldn’t change her even if I wanted to.
Okay…there might be a few things but I’m still not telling you guys.
