And coming in at number 1, is "You should have left that, I would have done it"
This is usually applied to clearing up, washing up, emptying/loading the dishwasher, and nearly always used just as any of the aforementioned tasks have been completed.
And, at number 2 is "Oh, I didn't know that you saving/wanted that." This can be applied to many things, but that cold sausage ( or sometimes in my case, a cold onion bahjee 
) that you were really looking forward to can almost justify some sort of physical reaction, especially if insult has been added to injury by leaving the EMPTY greasy plate in the fridge 
And, although this isn't a phrase, so I am guilty of deviating from my own OP, I dont think that leaving the hall light on so that I could actually see the cat vomit and avoid stepping in it, goes anywhere near to actually getting a bit of kitchen roll and cleaning it up!
No Senectus! Dont go! Tell us about the things that your OH says that drive you nuts! It would be interesting to hear things from a male perspective. Please? 
Can I add to all your VERY familiar annoying phrases one of my own? On my return from the hairdresser, OH appraises my hairdo with "It's a bit short, isn't it? Oh well, at least you won't have to have it done again quite so soon."
