Pet Peeves with your Hubby/other?
C'mon ladies I know I'm not the only one out there who's hubby does things that drive us women crazy!!! This morning I wake up and he left me an empty gatorade bottle on the table, which is 3 feet from the trash can; why couldn't he through it away? For over 8 years now, I have asked why is it that when he takes off his pajama pants- does he leave them on the floor? It doesn't matter if its in the bedroom or in the basement, wherever he drops them, they lay!
I know us women probably irritate our men too. I have many flaws as well. Its just humorous at times to see and hear all the things that men do or don't do in households across the world! When it comes down to it, they just don't get it! LOL
So let's hear it girls... What does your hubby or significant other do that drives you NUTS!!!!
I'm in!
I'l get in on this with you!! Here are a few of mine:
I hate that my husband puts his socks in the laundry basket in a ball. I'm not about to stick my hands all over them to straighten them out, but they won't get very clean in the washer and they certainly won't dry when they are wadded up in a ball.
It also really bugs me that no matter how many times I ask him to rinse his dishes and put them on the left side of the sink, he lays them on the right side and leaves it for me to scrape off the crusted on Rice Krispies or oatmeal...ARG!!!! I don't even care that he doesn't put them in the dishwasher (actually I would prefer to do that myself anyway because I can fit more in it), but all I ask is they get rinsed and put on the LEFT side of the sink. I really don't see why this is so hard to understand?
Keys, wallet, phone and watch - we are forever on a hunt for those pesky items! Wouldn't it make the most sense to put them all in the same place every time you put them down? I think so! Funny that I rarely have to go searching for my belongings before I can leave the house....unless of course my husband used MY car keys because he couldn't find his own, then I have to hunt down my keys which are usually in his coat or pants pockets.
*SIGH* I'm sure I could go on, but I'll give someone else a turn :) You know, I'd love to see the list my husband would make about me on this subject...now that would be fun :)

Where to start?
Haha!! Good Topic! The biggest thing I yell at my boyfriend for is he takes his shoes off right in the middle of the hall! Helloooo we have a mat by the front door or at least put them up against a wall, but no he puts them right smack down in the middle of the floor!
Also it drives me insane when he doesnt change the toilet paper roll or even sometimes he "forgets" to even put paper on!
Oh and another...see I told you I'm on a roll, haha!! He will start a load of laundry but then he never finishes it, so I'll be looking for a certain shirt or something and cannot find it anywhere, and usually its still in the washer from a few days ago!
another one....
You reminded me of another one. When my husband comes home he takes his shoes off right inside the door, then drops his laptop bag there too. The next person that needs to come or go has to move everything out of the way to even get the door open.
I shouldn't complain too much though, my husband is amazing. He comes home, takes both kids out of my hair for 30 or 45 minutes while I cook dinner, he give the kids baths, helps out with dinner dishes or at least entertains the kids so I can clean up quickly. He works all day and comes home and does more than his fair share, so I am very lucky. We all have our annoying habits, and sometimes a girl just needs to let them out :)
I told my husband there is a 'lil bashing going on here, and he threatened to delete MichianaMoms.com if we continue...hehe. Of course he is kidding :)

Socks!
I too have a sock issue with my husband. I don't have a problem doing your laundry and even putting it away. I don't know how many times I have asked to turn his socks the right way out. They are always either in a ball or inside out. How are they gonna get clean? I am not stickin my hand in your sweaty socks buddy! It drives me nuts!
Right
My husband just got home from Basic training I thought his organization skills would of came home with him NOT!!!
His socks are everywhere he piles clothes up in the living room by the front door throws his towels on the floor and magazines in the bathroom on the floor after I tell him constantly to pick them up because he is not the one who has to clean up the paper that stick he leaves tobacco chew spit bottles everywhere for the 10 month old to get to and spill, He makes dishes but doesn't wash them. I work all day come home and clean up after all of them and cook and he still has the nerve to harass me about stupid shit.
ugh... the "spitters"!!!!!!!!!
You just made me remember another thing I hate too... the "spitters"! Mine unfortunately chews the crap from time to time and will "forget" to dump the bottle of spitty crap out- ewwwww!! Our boys have spilled them on the floor before, then I have to shampoo it up! SO NASTY!!
My fiance (hubby to be on 11/14/09) also leaves his underwear on the floor, inside out!!!!!! YUCKO!! Who wants to pick those up either? He'd kill me if he knew I was posting this! LOL
Thanks for posting ladies! This is a funny one:)
within arms reach
Yep, mine always leaves something on the floor almost every night right beside the couch. Even my 17 month old knows where daddy leaves his leftovers because in the morning he runs straight around the side of the couch and brings me daddy's ice cream bowl, wine glass, cup of water or the occassional beer bottle. It's so funny because he loves to find that "treasure."

I'm loving this one here we go when my husband comes home from work he leaves his suit coat and tie right on the couch and then he goes to the bedroom and leaves his suit pants on the bed and then gets mad when our 4 year old son jumps on the bed and knockes them down.
He takes the newspaper to the bathroom with him and then just throws it on the floor for later or just to irrate me.
When he's sick he lives his snot rags right on the end tables or night stands or sitting right next to him like they pick themselves up.
If I clean the living room before bed and he's still up guess what him and my son will leave everything in there that they took out pop cans beer bottles chips toys games controllers remotes you name it it's there it turns into our little junk drawer.
I'll let off for a minute but I'm sure I have more to come back with

I hate how my husband cuts his goatee and leaves the hair in the sink, or when he shaves his head and leaves some hair in the tub and I have to wash it before giving kids a bath.
I hate when he will use the last of something ( tp, laundry soap, cold med) and not tell me until I go to use it , or get back from the store and I'm unloading the bags.
and would it kill him to pick up flowers every once in a while?
Ill quit, cause I love him, just not all his habits =)
