Another chance to make us laugh with niggles about DHs, but with a twist

OK - so we all have DHs with annoying habits. We have been in hysterics over their sneezing habits, groaned in sympathy when reading about their strange ways.

Now we ought to 'fess up ourselves.

For example, my DH drives me mad because he drapes his washing over the side of the washing basket and doesn't put it inside.

What annoys him about me is that I disappear straight after meals for a "nap", leaving him to clear up the dishes.

I'm very good at getting so engrossed in something that I simply can't tear myself away to wash up.

I also lock the front door when I get in from work knowing that DH will have to fumble for his keys in the dark before he gets in.

Oh and hearing his key in the door usually--wakes me up-- jolts me into suddenly being very busy.

Hmmmm my crossing out jobby isn't working.

testing, testing

cross out

...as you were. Don' t know what I did differently that time?

Pittcity Thu 01-Feb-18 14:38:37

gillybob, my DH's arrival home does exactly the same to me grin

Gilly bob and Pittcity I’m just about to get up!

I keep saying for hours that I'm going to do something, like put the tea on, make the bed etc. Then the persnickety fussy OH will do it, and moan at me, and I'll indignantly say I was just going to do it. But in my Scots accent it comes out as
"I wis gonny do that!" Then husband will call me the Great White Chief of the Wisgonny tribe... bugs me to hell every time LOL!

gillybob you didn't leave a space between the word "usually" and the first set of strike outs (--) that is why it didn't work smile

I am extremely guilty good at scurrying if I have been watching telly all afternoon and I hear husband at the door. Why I don't know.

What drives him mad about me, is when there isn't any room on my bedside table (due to piles of books, pillow spray, alarm clock, Kindle, phone, sometimes cough lozenges, box of tissues, I could go on) for him to put my cup of tea and toast down in the morning! grin - and then I moan if he hasn't left the toast for "just so" long before spreading it. There's an art to making toast, don'tcha know, who wants soggy toast?! grin

Absolutely an art to toast making. First of all it should be golden in colour. Then left to cool slightly. Just enough to let the butter start to melt but not completely melt. Also it has to be real butter on toast.

Grannyknot Thu 01-Feb-18 21:07:30

Coolgran we are kindred spirits! smile

I love cold toast with lots of butter, sorry all those doing frugal Feb.

merlotgran Thu 01-Feb-18 21:27:11

I love toast that is almost cold as well. The butter sits on top instead of melting into it.

DH is actually quite good at it but I haven't told him yet.

Pittcity Thu 01-Feb-18 21:49:41

I love cold toast too. I think it stems from when the children were small and so I was always the last one to eat!

ninathenana Thu 01-Feb-18 22:05:51

Cold toast for me too please.

gillybob Thu 01-Feb-18 22:35:03

Aaah thank you Grannyknot I really couldn’t see what I had done differently. x
