Things I do that irritate my better half
So let’s be honest I know we all love our other halves,but what do you think irritates them about you.I know I certainly do some things that really irritate my wife.
I thought I would give just six things that I think irritate my wife and nomoinate five people to do the same remember it’s what you think that irritates your partner.
So here are mine…
1. When my wife is talking I have a habit of interrupting and usually she rolls her eyes and sternly says, “Can I finish?”
2. We can be sitting down in the evening and she is talking to me about something and about halfway through she’ll stop and say, “What did I just say?” At which point I am knackered as I have no idea!
3. I know at times I can get excited over nothing and behave like a right drama queen, but also at other times I can be really grumpy for no reason!
4. This one always goes down well. When she is telling me something which can be important I just walk off. I’ve no idea why, but what I do know is that it irritates the hell out of her!
5. When I am telling her something I have a habit of not explaining myself and my wife looks at me in bewilderment as if to say what is he on about? Personally I thought it made perfect sense!
6. Finally when the toilet roll has run out I never change it. I just just get a new one and put it on top of the old, empty one!

Hi Nigel, I loved these, brought a real smile to my face. At least you replace the toilet roll, in my house it would just stay empty until I got it, or until I got a desperate shout from the bathroom. Funny, as I've just posted about nice things and niggles -http://ourdalylife.co.uk/2015/08/04/blended-family-nice-stuff-niggles/ .. see how they compare. I've left a comment on mine with a link back to yours too

haha the toilet roll one is familiar in our house. The walking away one made me laugh so hard. My OH does that. He has no idea why. He says it's tiredness and he forgets I'm talking. How can you forget when you're mid conversation? haha. x

I am sure I annoy my husband as much as he does me, but it really gets to me how he never puts any of his clean washing away, he just leaves it lying around in a pile until he's not even sure if it's clean any more and he ends up just putting it back in the wash again. AAAAAGGGGHHHHH! Now I just put it away myself, which annoys me a bit, but not as much as seeing it lying about used to 🙂
