DH has problem with buttons. Recently, without thinking I bought a top with buttons down the back . I have worked out that I can, just get it over my head with only two buttons undone and can also then pull the top up a bit at the back and do them up.

That's funny gmelon We all have our idiosyncrasies don't we.
My husband looks at me as if I've sprouted another head if I suggest he gets a different style of shoe from the ones we always get online. The thought of going to a shoe shop and trying some on is beyond horrific apparently.

Mine can't bear having his hair cut. Last time his barber came round his first words sere "It's all right I've brought the gas and air with me!" grin

Any one else find the following familiar?

Shopping with other half. Purchase taking place, husband and I at till.
Shop assistant "Would you like to keep the hangers?"
Me "Ooh yes please."
Husband, very firmly "No, no we don't thank you."

I can read my husbands mind. He never says a word to me but;
Cue him stepping back in horror, bringing out his hanger phobia and going into full "how many hangers do you need, can't they just not ask you." Only in his mind though.

You would think the assistant had said "would you just like to strip naked Sir while i ring up your purchase."
