so yeh I'm seeing this girl. Anyway, she isn't too irritating but she has got a couple of habits which drive me fucking incandescent with rage.

Worst (and tell me if I'm being unreasonable here) is her toothpaste etiquette. Lid off, squeezes from the middle and absolutely unforgivably, she doesn't swoosh her mouthp roperly after she's finished and then wipes her chops on the towels leaving white smears. I had to humiliate her in front of some dinner guests at the weekend by bringing the towels down to the table before the cheese course and screaming "LOOK WHAT SHE DOES, LOOK WHAT SHE DOES".


What about your spouse/life partner?

I used to out with a girl who liked to prepare my bowl of bran flakes+sliced banana in the morning. She always chopped about 3/4 of the banana on top of the cereal, then scoffed the rest herself. Drove me bonkers, for some reason (probably because I knew how petty it would sound if I complained)...

when adam cooks in the kitchen he kicks the kitchen rugs all around. this doesn't happen when i'm in there.

he throws the towels on this shelf thing I have all haphazard like. i say "can't you place it nicely!"

when he makes coffee he gets coffee grinds everywhere.

he talks to me like i'm stupid when i'm cooking. we have fixed this though. rather than sarcastically say "are you really going to use that on a tephlon pan?" he says "maybe you should use the plastic spatula?" i also put things away as he cooks and it drives him batty so now i hold it up and say "are you done with this? can i put it away?"

he also farts in the kitchen which grosses me out.

all of these things drive me nuts but i love him.

Christ! you want a list!!!!? nice to see you back Hairy

What the hell are you doing with rugs in the kitchen? Kick them, Adam! Kick the fuck out of those rugs.

when he trims his beard he doesn't do a great job of cleaning up all the little hairs around the sink

he never does the courtesy flush when he's using the bathroom & knows i have to go in after him

that's about it, the rest i've learned to live with & find endearing i suppose : )

Yeah, I'm in that boat.

Let's see...when he shaves his head, etc and sweeps it into the dustpan but then doesn't empty the dustpan and leaves it on the floor for me to trip over in the dark, thus ensuring that the bottoms of my feet are covered in dark, prickly hairs.

Leaving receipts all over his nightstand.

Changing the tv channel every 15 seconds.

That's about it.

Snoring
Bitching
Not working... etc. etc.

OOOOH!!! I forgot to mention snoring! how did i forget that one? Because that's the one that might end up causing his death.

I hate to think how many of the things that I do get on his nerves.

gaaah! my roommate does that, and it drives me nuts.

i have a lot of gripes about little things my roommates do or don't do. the one that's bugging me right this second id the girl who, when she empties the dishwasher, doesn't put the tupperware away. she'll put everything else away, but leave any tupperware on the counter...the counter on top of the tupperware cabinet. it's more confusing to me than anything else, i guess.

Wifey has this annoying habit of not finishing her



sentences.

Hey you Mr! Tiny little kitchen rugs. One by the sink to prevent maximum water spillage. One my the cutting board thing for foot standing and one by the oven. They are there for a reason! Kicking them defeats the purpose! Not like a huge rug LIKE HE HAS IN HIS KITCHEN WITH IS DISGUSTING! Ew. Carpeted kitchens = bad bacteria news. Fo sho.

leaving his clothing everywhere- and then yelling at me when i step on it.

ok, his general messiness.

using ever single dish to cook with.

Being late.
