The random clumps of hair balled up in the shower. Throw that shite away. It’s nasty.

So you have a junk drawer?

Insists on all celling fans being on 24/7/365.

Do half loads of laundry and dishes and then complain about how many of loads of laundry and dishes there are.

Feel you dawg. We have been in our house going on 15 years. 6 months ago the wife decides that she doesn’t want the rice cup in the easily accessible drawer is has been in since we built the house. She started putting it in a cabinet that is already so full of crap that every time you open it stuff falls out. She hasn’t put anything else in the spot the rice cup previously occupied, she just decided to make our lives harder.

Our Nest thermostat has either become sentient and has temperature preferences that I’ve never shared with it or my wife is lying about adjusting it.

Women are incapable of loading a dishwasher. There cannot be a single female loadmaster in the Air Force.

Mine likes to plan 45 tasks for Saturday’s. Then stresses out that we won’t get them all done.

Not true. I’m the exception. But I am an engineer.

The hubs is a ChemE and he stinks at loading the dishwasher. He crams stuff together and nothing gets clean. So told him the H2O needs to actually reach all the dishes, otherwise they stay dirty.

He didn’t think it was funny

My two biggest complaints are that she never rinses the dirty dishes off, and leaves em in the sink, and her trying to leave shite in my truck after we go somewhere. The other night, she had a half full water bottle in the cup holder. I watch her as she gets her stuff together to get out of the truck, she looks at the water bottle, then acts like she didn't see it, then proceeds to attempt the getaway out of the truck. Me: "Hey, get your water bottle from the cup holder". Her: "Ugh, you're so annoying."

My wallet and keys always go on the dresser in the bedroom, or my side of the cou ter in the bathroom. For some unknown reason, even after many pleads to not move that stuff, it constantly gets moved to my nightstand drawer. Constantly.

I have a mini panic attack everytime I go for my wallet knowing I sat it in a certain spot the evening before and it's not there. After 10+ years of marriage I know where to look if it's been moved, but the question remains: Why move my shite after being repeatedly asked not to?

I always get the death stare when I point out to my wife the things she brought in my vehicle that need to be taken out before she gets out.

In a similar vein, sometimesy wife will drive my truck if hers is due for maintenance or something so I'll drive hers. Now my truck isn't spotless on the interior, but it isn't filled with trash and junk.

It never fails that there is an empty water bottle or Starbucks cup in the cupholder. And there's usually some paper trash because she loves Chick-fil-A wraps and apparently that's all she ever eats on days she drives my truck. There will also be some mascara tube or lip gloss tube that she has inevitably dropped and it rolls into the floorboard and she just doesn't retrieve it.

And of course when I drive her car on those days, it's like driving a fricking hoarder's vehicle. I'll never understand how women can be so unorganized in vehicles. Especially when she's pretty anal about the house.

My wife is close to sainthood, mainly for just putting up with me.

That being said, if I leave a tool out that I used to fix something, and it came from my shop where all my tools are.........I have now learned to go to least logical place it could be, if I'm trying to find it. "Where's my wire pliers that I left on the bar? Let me look under the guest bedroom bed! My tape measure? It's probably under the bathroom sink, even though I left it on the kitchen table."

Other than that, she's pretty awesome. She does not EVER go to bed with a dirty kitchen. She washes clothes like it's a passion. I can take off my clothes at the end of the day, and miraculously, those garments are washed and put away in less than 24 hours.

If I set a cup down anywhere, it's gone within 5 seconds. Even if it is full.

The woman loads a dishwasher like she is mentally ill.

Yells at me when my red light is on for gas. Goes nuts. I know when to fill up, shut up!

I've been married 30 years, and im sorry to say it fellas, but most of these things don't get better. I just go behind my wife a rearrange the dishwasher before turning it on at bedtime. I hear her huffing when I do it. One thing that has gotten slightly better, When we were younger, I would have a hunting or fishing trip with buddies that had been planned for weeks. When all the wives' plans would fall apart, because "women", my wife would seriously expect me to cancel my plans because I should rather spend time with her. NOPE, I'm not canceling my plans because you canceled yours. Tough shite. Ill See you Sunday night. She still gets mad when it happens, and it does happen, but she knows better that to expect me to stay home.

Part of a man’s vows should include “I assume blame for all logical and illogical occurrences during the marriage.”

One is she doesn’t seem to understand that if you clean while you cook, you can have more relaxation time in the evening. Instead she just leaves shite laying all over the kitchen and then complains about how much she has to clean.



My god this drives me crazy. We alternate nights washing the dishes. I don’t care how she cooks on her night but on my night have a little fricking decency and don’t leave the kitchen looking like a bomb went off.

I can cook and by the time I’m done the only things that need to be done are cleaning the dishes we ate off of, served with and maybe a skillet or pot.

She cooks and every single thing she used to cook that meal is in a heap on the counter top.

I have more than once gotten pissed off and just threw the shite away instead of putting it up. Drives me crazy.

This is a dealbreaker for me One of my friends puts dishes in the washer unrinsed and it kills my soul.

This thread is awesome. I relate to all of them

.

This annoys me so much. The amount of Kleenex that’s gets left in the door of my truck.

I know I’m probably in the minority on this one. But my wife does not fold clothes. Ever. She would rather pick her clothes out as needed from the dryer.
