re: Spousal Annoyances...Anyone else ever have to deal with this one with your better half?

Mine will talk to me, in a normal tone of voice, from the other side of the house. She'll tell me all sorts of important things from a distance that no living human could possibly hear. Many times, there will also be something loud in between us, such as the TV blaring, or she can even see that I have headphones on while weed-eating...still just talks to me in a casual tone without confirming that I've made eye-contact and am listening. And then later get mad at me for not knowing about the thing she tried to tell me when I obviously was not in earshot.
The annoying part is I can hear her droning on from 3 rooms away and even though it would be totally reasonable for me to ignore it, I know I'm just gonna get nagged later on for not hearing it. So I have to stop what I'm doing and go find her and ask her to repeat herself.

Lots of great things about my wife and she puts up with plenty of my shite for sure. But.
The moving shite with brain disengaged is real. Between me and the kids giving her a hard time about it, and her losing her own stuff, she’s gotten better about it but still happens.
She is oddly unable to close container lids tightly. This is a real problem with seasonings.
We both often have difficulty finding things in the kitchen like seasonings in the lazy Susan or stuff in the pantry or fridge. The difference being when she asks for help I help gladly or normally, whereas when I ask for help it’s attitude, comments about being blind, maybe a getting old dig, or outright ignored. If the thing was buried under other things she insists I should have seen it.
When she’s in a bad or stressed mood, she’ll get on a tear to do outside work, but always leaving it half arse done, tools out, etc, and if I don’t go behind her it will sit there indefinitely, months.
We both have our assumed duties, but if I state or insinuate that house duties, that are in fact hers and she does do, like laundry (her and the kids, I do my own) or dishes (same) are hers, she reacts angrily as if it’s beneath her. Quite odd, hope I explained that well.

I got mad at mine because I put her on my health insurance which costs me more but her dentist isn’t in the network and she refuses to change dentists and just pays out of pocket
I said why I am paying for your insurance if you’re not going to use it? She got livid but it’s a valid question. It’s a fricking teeth cleaning anyone can do it

Our new thing is that she likes to have a convo while I'm in the shower and she is getting dressed. She talks in a normal tone and gets mad when I can't hear her over the shower.

She throws away products that aren't yet exhausted. Two recent examples:
1) Toothpaste - I told her I'd get at least another week out of it. I got 2.
2) Hand Soap - If you look at it, it looks like it's about gone, but it's the type that aerates and foams up so it's going on a month when it looks like it's out.

Not taking the trash out when its full is up there in the gross level of not rinsing dishes before the dishwasher for me. I just can't handle bad smells, I think.
What pisses me off is that it's 100% a cold weather thing with my wife. She takes the trash out religiously when the weather is warm. It's 100% her not wanting to be in the cold for 27 seconds.

My wife decided we needed new curtains about 2 months ago. I haven't seen my tape measure since. I bought another one the first time I needed it and couldn't find it.
Dewalt sells a 9ft tape measure for about 6 bucks.
I've bought one every single time I've gone to home depot for 18 months.
She once made the mistake of asking why

Do half loads of laundry and dishes and then complain about how many of loads of laundry and dishes there are.
mine will wash/dry a tshirt and two pairs of socks in their own load 14 times then show me the energy/water bill like it's my fault they're high.

I've been to people's houses where the trash is piled up like that, and it grosses me out. Especially if they hide their trash in the pantry. Whole pantry reeks.

If we buy a certain grocery or food product and it isn’t completely consumed before going bad (like a bag of 10 avocados and 2 are left and go bad), when shopping next time she’ll declare that we shouldn’t get another of the same thing because they didn’t get eaten and were wasted.
She’ll take an adversarial position on some weird random topic to complain about, like the dog gate in the kitchen not working/closing well, and force me to basically defend the object that I don’t even really care about, it’s just that the complaints aren’t logical. The gate closes fine as long as you don’t slam it.
There seem to be several of these topics.

I think dishwashers cause more marital discord than any item in or outside the house.

I will say I love that mine doesn’t waste anything. She gets mad at me for throwing away a bag of chips when there’s nothing but crumbs left that you can’t dip
