Partner Pet Peeves!😒😜

I'll start! My pet peeves when it comes to my partner are:

Him leaving the toilet seat up (ALWAYS!!)

Him leaving his dirty socks lying around all over the apartment.

Him using his phone while he drives.

I tend to be very passive aggressive, so I've worked harder on speaking to him upfront when he does things that irritate me. We both have things that the other person does that we find annoying, but communicating has helped so much!

My FH likes to watch reaction videos on YouTube with the volume on his phone cranked all the way up. The audio is horrible and it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. I always beg him to turn it down but somehow the volume ends up sneaking back up again 😑. Idk how he can bear having the volume so loud, but I think I also have abnormally sensitive ears lol.

Oh my god he NEVER CLOSES CABINETS AND DRAWERS. i mean he does but it takes an eternity before he does. it's like when he cooks or does stuff in the kitchen, he opens the drawers or cabinet doors, he will leave them all open til a while later he closes them.

but it's like cmon now, he will legit leave like all the cabinet doors and drawers open

OMG my FH LOVES watching those 'watch mojo' videos on youtube...I can't stand them lol, and he always wants to watch them on our tv when we're both home and I want to watch something else. He never watches it when he's home alone. 😂 I beg him to change the channel but then he just pouts!

Hahahaha NOOOO! That would get so annoying!! I can't help but think that maybe he does it now BECAUSE it annoys you. That's something my FH would do just to get under my skin lol.

It drives me crazy when my wife doesn’t replace the empty toilet paper roll or just sets the new one on top of the holder. She hates when I take my shoes off and don’t put them on the shoe rack. Luckily we’re both pretty laid back!

I have OCDs with my floors being spotless clean because I have a toddler that's always crawling around on the floors and my fiance always walks in the house with his work boots on and it seems like he walks through every room before he takes them off. I literally mop my floors again every night once everyone is asleep. And he leaves his socks on the floor which drives me crazy too.

I'm guilty of the toilet paper roll one haha! That's something my FH can't stand that I do.

Ugh that would drive me up the well lol. Just take your shoes off before walking around the whole house! lol. Yes...I washed our couch cushions the other day and found THREE pairs of his socks stuck in the couch. He'll slide them off when he's laying down on it and never moves them, so when he or I sit/lay back down, they just get pushed into the cracks.

My fiance tells a story whiletrying to explain something to me I can ask about the baseball on his shelf and then a half hour later I have learned not only where that baseball came from but who what where and why., It's not really a pet peeve but I have learned to not ask questions unless I hvae the time to listen

Oh my haha, sounds like he loves to talk! It takes my FH hours it feels like to tell me something. He loves to pause in the middle of his sentence and do something else (like look at his phone).

My FH is another one who leaves all cabinets and drawers open. Except he will never come back to close them. He's also a huge dish soaker. Like he will literally try to soak a plate if you let him and tries to soak every pot/bowl/pan no matter what was in it and even though we have amazing pots that rinse off very well. Drives me nuts lol

My husband has THE WORST memory and it annoys me sooo much because he is so forgetful . Another pet peeve of mine is when he eats. He like bites the fork when he puts it in his mouth (he swears that he doesn't) but I absolutely HATE the sound of teeth hitting silverware lmao.

My husband has this one specific laugh that drives me crazy. I think because it doesn't sound like a real laugh. I also can't stand that he won't put his clothes in the laundry baskets. Laundry has been a real issue lately because we moved in October to a two story townhouse from our apartment and we agreed he would carry the laundry from our bedroom on the second floor to the basement for me since I'm pregnant and it's like pulling teeth. He thinks because it's light it shouldn't be a problem, but stairs make me tired without carrying stuff. I swear we've had one basket sitting by the stairs for almost two weeks waiting for him to carry it downstairs.

Oh lord the pet peeves! Its funny how a lot of them are so similar! lol

He drives me nuts when he

Will leave empty cereal boxes, or empty milk cartons in the fridge/cupboards instead of throwing it away

Not replace the bathroom soap and just put water in the soap bottle instead of refilling it or getting a new one (I always have extra soap, there's no excuse!)

He will put his clothes in the washer and dryer but for some reason takes FOREVER to fold/hang up his clothes

And his time management/not being able to multitask KILLS me. lol I tell him that it is indeed possible to do more than one thing at a time.

But after living together for about 8 years he is getting better.

My fh will turn something on the tv to watch then will watch something else on his phone. Then gets annoyed when I change the channel since he claims to be watching the tv.


One thing that I do that drives him insane is leaving cabinets and drawers open.

View Quoted Comment Hahaha yeah I’m big on soaking, but only if it’s something that actually needs it lol. I could see where that would annoy you!

View Quoted Comment Ahhhhh I just cringed because I could hear that sound!! 😂

View Quoted Comment Oh my gosh that would drive me up the wall!!

View Quoted Comment It is funny how there are similarities! Gosh those are some that I never realized were small pet peeves of mine! 😂 my FH also takes forever to fold and put clothes away. We’ve had a giant pile of his clothes that sit on the guest bed because he won’t put them away.
