You first.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 10:00 (eighteen years ago)

No, you go.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 10:01 (eighteen years ago)

Oh I will, but I have to do something first....back later.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 10:02 (eighteen years ago)

World of Warcraft.

(I'm pretty sure he'd say ILX)

Whenever he watches telly, he holds the remote control and runs his thumb lightly across the buttons right in the centre of it in a square formation. Over and over and over and over again. In a really annoying, obsessive-compulsive way. It drives me potty. Even if I try not to take any notice, I still sense the movement out of the corner of my eye. It's been known to ruin an entire programme for me, because instead of concentrating on emperor penguins in the antarctic, or figuring out whodunnit in Lewis, I am distracted by the endless remote-control stroking that's going on.

That's the only thing I can think of, really, and I've learned to live with it over the years. I bet he could think of a zillion annoying things about me though.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 10:21 (eighteen years ago)

leaving an inch of tea or coffee in the cup whenever he has a drink and never emptying it out/rinsing the cup

― markco, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 10:34 (eighteen years ago)

Being right an annoyingly large percentage of the time.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 10:36 (eighteen years ago)

Excessive tidying.

She would doubtless counter with excessive messiness.

― Matt, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 10:37 (eighteen years ago)

My other half has no sense of time and the amount of things that can be accomplished in a given time.

Best illustrated in a typical conversation :

Me : We'd better leave in half an hour.
Her : OK.
Me : Will you be ready?
Her : Yes, I'm nearly ready now. I'm just going to finish reading this then I'll just have a bath and get changed. Oh, and I was going to pop down to the florist first. Oh, and call my mum.
Me : gaaaaaahhhh!

There are then 2 options : 1) just let things happen and be HORRIBLY late or 2) hassle, have row, be late, but not quite as late. I usually go with 1).

The fact that I'm boringly punctual doesn't help. It would probably be better if I was as relaxed.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:05 (eighteen years ago)

Oh man, Dr. C soooo OTM.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:07 (eighteen years ago)

**Whenever he watches telly, he holds the remote control and runs his thumb lightly across the buttons right in the centre of it in a square formation. Over and over and over and over again. In a really annoying, obsessive-compulsive way**

This is fantastic! But intolerable....LEAVE HIM, CJ!!

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:08 (eighteen years ago)

It's every time we go out - that's what does me in really.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:10 (eighteen years ago)

Same here. And I have learned to always choose number 1 as well. Although I do tend to pace.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:11 (eighteen years ago)

It's every time we go out - that's what does me in really.

I sometimes have this problem too, to the extent of standing at the foot of the stairs with the car keys in my hand saying "well I'm going now. If you're coming with me, you better be down here in 30 seconds."

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:13 (eighteen years ago)

This is fantastic! But intolerable....LEAVE HIM, CJ!!

Nah, I kinda like him :)

You should avert the lateness scenario by bringing up the subject earlier than half an hour before you are due to leave! Mrs Dr C clearly needs time management training.

"What are you planning to get done before we leave for the party? ..... ooh, that's a lot. You can have the bathroom before me - shall I run you a bath for about 5 o'clock then, dearest??" = HASSLE SUBTLY AVERTED.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:15 (eighteen years ago)

**"well I'm going now. If you're coming with me, you better be down here in 30 seconds."**

Tried it. In short - It ain't workin'!

Good suggestions CJ, but there are counter-strategies used against me when I try this approach. She KNOWS what I'm doing and keeps back a hidden agenda of tasks so that I don't know the full enormity of the problem. It's not entirely deliberate, I know, it's just a sort of way of life - leave everything until the last minute!

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:33 (eighteen years ago)

I have to keep the bedroom alarm clock set randomly anywhere between 5 and 13 minutes in advance of the real time in order to confuse Mr Unruly, otherwise he would always be late for work in the morning. Maybe you could just change all the clocks in your house!

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:38 (eighteen years ago)

Hmmm - you might be onto something. I'd need to let the kids in on it.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:41 (eighteen years ago)

nagging:

"are you going to pay those bills that came in the mail yesterday? aren't they due soon?"

"of course, going out tomorrow."

(thinks: "no unlike every other month of the DECADES we've lived together I was gonna ignore them this time and pay a late fee! not to mention that some bills are paid automatically now and the monthly notices are simply records of that requiring no response AS I'VE TOLD YOU MORE THAN ONCE. ;-)"

― m coleman, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:42 (eighteen years ago)

Make nagging partner in charge of household finances and bill paying.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:45 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, that's what I did. A well-timed "well, why don't you just take care of it yourself just to be on the safe side" is the most effective way of not getting nagged in the long run.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:48 (eighteen years ago)

I think we should retitle this thread: "CJ solves your domestic partnership problems!"

― Forest Pines, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:48 (eighteen years ago)

(sighs) it's not issue-specific nagging more like free-ranging. so if I passed on the bills, she'd find 6 other things to remind me about. truly a personality trait more than habit, her mother does it too.

― m coleman, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:50 (eighteen years ago)

Is it unkind to have another go?

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:52 (eighteen years ago)

Asking about what I've eaten. Every day. "What did you eat today?" And then sort of judging it for its health value. Christ almighty.

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:53 (eighteen years ago)

What have you eaten today, Tracer?

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:56 (eighteen years ago)

I think we should retitle this thread: "CJ solves your domestic partnership problems!"

(sorry. i'll shut up now) :(

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:58 (eighteen years ago)

Banana, apple, danish, OJ, coffee. I'm gritting my teeth just writing that. I think it's why I never contribute to the "what did you eat today" threads.

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:58 (eighteen years ago)

Somehow it feels ungentlemanly to answer this question, so I'll try and answer it from her point of view. She doesn't much like the fact I play poker, but she's learned to live with it so that doesn't really count. I think me interrupting her when she's reading or watching a film, just the kind of everyday chat, you know "ooh, the washing machine's making a funny noise, I wonder if it's the metal buttons on my trousers, do you like those trousers?" kind of thing.

I also have a tendency to drum my fingers on the sofa, the remote, her thigh, my bald pate, which I can see might be quite annoying.

Ah, though of one that I can say about her without being too much of an arse (though it is a bit cliched) - she refuses to navigate when I'm driving, or if she does do it, she lets me know how disgruntled it makes her and, I have reason to suspect, navigates badly on purpose. At the very least she refuses to navigate how *I* want her to navigate - all I need is "third left, second exit at the roundabout, 300 yards over the railways tracks and park next to the church" but no, at best she goes "oh, I think you need to turn down Pinetree Avenue" like I have any clue which sodding street is Pinetree Avenue in any case.

― Mark C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 11:58 (eighteen years ago)

CJ he didn't mean it badly! Please keep posting!

― Mark C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:00 (eighteen years ago)

When nagivating I sometimes say things like "you should have turned left back there", which is probably not very helpful.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:01 (eighteen years ago)

nagivating = nagging while map reading, obv

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:01 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think it's ungentlemanly, maybe a little. It's done in the spirit of ('but despite this you love them anyway').

I think I'll start a thread where you ask them what drives them nuts about you and you post it there.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:02 (eighteen years ago)

Oh don't get me started on navigating. I was slapped across the face on Fulham Palace Road a few years ago during a ~~furious blazing row~~ frank exchange of views on how exactly navigation should be done.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:05 (eighteen years ago)

Ooh, I know one - he types too slowly and uses the mouse all over the place when filling in forms and stuff - I was ready to murder him trying to book travel insurance last night!

There's a whole other thread somewhere about talking through things you really want to watch on telly where my (mostly irrational) venom at that is fairly well-documented.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:05 (eighteen years ago)

Lixi to thread to reveal the frank exchange of views me and Vicky had when driving her to Camber Sands a few years ago :)

― Mark C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:08 (eighteen years ago)

CJ he didn't mean it badly! Please keep posting!

What Mark said!

― Forest Pines, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:10 (eighteen years ago)

Oh oh oh. I've just thought of another one!

He won't drink his coffee hot enough. I make him a cup of coffee, and he just leaves it to go stone cold before he'll touch it. Because he likes it that way. BUT THIS ANNOYS ME.

Despite knowing he never drinks hot coffee, I will repeatedly rremind him "don't forget your coffee!!" which must actually say more about me than him, but hey - he never seems to mind me grumbling at him. He must think it's one of my more charming quirks.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:12 (eighteen years ago)

Hah! When I stayed with my parents, I went completely MENTAL! Why? Because it took them on average TWO FUCKING HOURS to leave the flat. WTF! This doesn't work very well when you have a baby: she needs her naptime, dinner, playtime on rather specific times.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:14 (eighteen years ago)

That would annoy me too.

That site is absolutely brilliant.

He hasn't had to cope with his partner repeatedly stroking the tv remote control buttons though. He's had it easy.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:24 (eighteen years ago)

Is it a particularly nice remote control?

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:32 (eighteen years ago)

Hahaha, I love Things My Girlfriend And I Have Argued About. We argue about ridiculous and stupid stuff all the time - it never occurred to me I could capitalise on it!

― ailsa, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:35 (eighteen years ago)

It's not a particularly nice remote control any more, because the writing's all been worn off it and you can't see what the sodding buttons are for any more.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 12:40 (eighteen years ago)

Leaving drawers and cupboards open. This is the most annoying thing he does, by a country mile. I am not an excessively tidy person but that one thing... grrrr. It still makes me think we've been burgled every time I come home.

I have a friend who travels around by pony and trap, because (a) she has plenty of time on her hands because she doesn't have a job, and (b) she is a bit mad.

Communication is seldom pressing enough to warrant having the phone switched on at all times. Most of the time when Mr Unruly has to speak to me urgently, it's just to say something like "can you remember to get me a copy of Motorcycle News on your way home tonight".

― C J, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 08:59 (eighteen years ago)

I think the thing is, you never know when it's going to be urgent.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 09:02 (eighteen years ago)

Which reminds me: the lovely Emma B now has a bike, and a new lock and helmet, but she only wears the helmet if a) she's going on a particularly long journey and b) doesn't feel the need to be too fussed about her hair once she gets there. Otherwise the helmet stays home. I think that she will have certainly gamed the gods well if she manages to only need her helmet on one of those occasions.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 09:04 (eighteen years ago)

the one trait most of them share: flakes that are used to getting what they want, but dont know what they want

― 600, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 09:10 (eighteen years ago)

Tracey: I have recently found out that there is a big ongoing scuffle in the cycling world about whether helmets are actually classic or not - there is a skool of thort that reckons the dangers from them restricting your vision outweights A LORRY CRUSHING YOUR SKULL... bah, bike riders are ALL MENTALISTS (apart from the lovely Emma B and the rest of you reading this obviously).

― Sarah, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 09:16 (eighteen years ago)

I can't bring myself to wear one, having cycled around for years as a kid before they were invented

it's just to say something like "can you remember to get me a copy of Motorcycle News on your way home tonight"

Aww, but he'd be SAD without a shiny new Motorcycle News. You wouldn't want that!

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 09:18 (eighteen years ago)

I have started to become extremely annoyed every time Mister Monkey finishes one of my sentences for me. Partly because it's patronizing, and partly because he always gets it wrong.

My answer to his now standard apology of "I'm sorry, what were you going to say?" is now "I was going to say that I will give you a million pounds if you don't finish this sentence for me."

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 09:25 (eighteen years ago)

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 09:38 (eighteen years ago)

Inability to answer anything except "20 minutes" in any given situation involving time, especially when the answer is not actually 20 minutes.

Example: "I will be home in 20 minutes" or "we will be there in 20 minutes", or "this round will be finished in 20 minutes".

-- accentmonkey, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 10:14 (2 months ago)

OK this is kind of awesome, is that true? :)

― Trayce, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 10:06 (eighteen years ago)

Singing. He sings loudly in the shower.
'Rousing' Celtic songs.
The singing shouldn't annoy me, his voice isn't that bad, it his choice of songs and the fact that he insists on stamping his foot along with them.

Oh, and he NEVER looks for things himself. "Where's my keys? Where's my phone? Have you seen that letter? Where's my grey top?"

And if he is doing a bit of diy he starts it, then hollers for me to get him bits and bobs.

Him - "Can you get me the yellow screwdriver?"
Me - *tuts, gets screwdriver, sits back down, opens book*
Him "Can you get me a plastic bag?
Me - "Do you need anything else when I'm up?"
Him - No

Five minutes later
Him - Can you get me a kitchen towel?

― *rumpie*, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 11:08 (eighteen years ago)

OK this is kind of awesome, is that true? :)

Yep, it's true. It's not quite as odd as it sounds, because she lives right out in the countryside - it's quite usual to see her pony and trap standing outside the little shop in the neighbouring village, or outside the pub.

― C J, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 11:20 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, and he NEVER looks for things himself. "Where's my keys? Where's my phone? Have you seen that letter? Where's my grey top?"

Oh jesus yes. This annoys the hell out of me.

"Where are the beans?"
"In the fridge."
"Where?"
"In the fucking fridge! There are four shelves! Look on them one after the other!"

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 11:39 (eighteen years ago)

My husband is way overly optimistic about what can be done in certain amounts of time. I really hate being late. This is a tricky combination.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 12:41 (eighteen years ago)

Oh I know all about this, Sara! (see upthread)

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 12:50 (eighteen years ago)

It's good to know I'm not alone. ;)

I'm afraid to read this thread carefully because I'm afraid I will discover more things to be annoyed about AND the things that probably annoy my husband! Oh well, if I must, I must...

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 12:56 (eighteen years ago)

You should point out to this school of thought that a helmet, properly worn, shouldn't cover any part of your eyes.

Doeas anyone who posts on this thread have a SO who also reads ILX? Or are you all too scared. I am too scared.

She know that it exists. That's frightening enough.

I got annoyed by my bf's stinky socks all over the house and bits of food left out and him never helping clean up and etc but hey we just broke up so that solved that innit.

― Madchen, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 13:17 (eighteen years ago)

He knows about ILX, hears replays and is often sent thread links in invitation but wants no part. He thinks people who sit around and talk on the internets all day are perverts, creeps or nerds.

Mr Unruly knows about internet message boards, but has no interest in them whatsoever. I will sometimes relate to him some funny anecdote which someone has written here, but even then he has no desire to ever read the screen for himself, and doesn't understand at all why I enjoy chatting with a bunch of strangers. "They're not real, you know", he says. Quite seriously, I am convinced he believes that I sit here typing things back and forth to myself all day :(

― C J, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 14:20 (eighteen years ago)

BUT CJ!!! THE INTERNET MESSAGES ARE COMING FROM INSIDE YOUR HOUSE!!!

;-)

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 14:23 (eighteen years ago)

CJ, are Mr Unruly and my guy related?

― Ms Misery, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 14:24 (eighteen years ago)

Oh God, maybe you are in inside my head.

Maybe Mr Unruly is dividing his time between the two of us, Ms Misery! I have often doubted the veracity of these so-called weekly "darts matches", and wonder where it is he really goes on Wednesdays!

― C J, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 14:29 (eighteen years ago)

Now that's the love triangle indeed.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 14:55 (eighteen years ago)

Yes I'm not sure what dart machines are although I like the sound of them. The only place G. ever goes is to Home Depot.

― Ms Misery, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 14:56 (eighteen years ago)

Darts matches, not machines. It's a game where you throw little brass arrows at people's heads (or at least, it's like that when I play it)

― C J, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 14:59 (eighteen years ago)

haha, okay that makes more sense. I know what darts are and was trying to figure out an approximation of the game could be played via something like an electronic poker machine.

― Ms Misery, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 15:01 (eighteen years ago)

Darts!!

Mrs. Rocktor C sends me out to play darts, Sarah! She even tells people I'll chuck some arrers with them at our local after work without asking me first. Not that it's a hardship. But I reckon there's something going on - a fancy man perhaps?

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 15:53 (eighteen years ago)

Timely revive, since we just had a big argument last night about this. I sometimes tease her about how her colored hairspray ends up leaving most of my bathroom (sink, toilet, baseboard) covered in a thin coat of brown muck, and I try not to get annoyed with her about it, but I guess by bringing it up so often (as I did right before we went to bed), she's gotten the hint that it kind of bugs me.

The bigger issue is that it's technically my apartment, even though she sleeps there every night, since her place is much smaller and she only has a twin bed and she's seen mice a few times. And so she's very conscious of being respectful of my space: she always asks when she brings things over (and I really have no problem with her taking up space, especially when I have an empty shelf in my refrigerator and empty drawers in my dresser), offers to help clean, is usually very considerate, etc. So I think if I still have an issue with her use of my apartment, in spite of all that (in the past, I've also wished she'd rinse dishes before putting them in the sink), then she becomes quite defensive. I'm trying to make her understand that these issues, in the grand scheme of things, are really quite trivial, but from her perspective, they're not.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 15:56 (eighteen years ago)

Dr C: she is training you up to be an ASSASSIN and hypnotising you as you sleep. Like wot happened on Zoolander. A bit. Er.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:00 (eighteen years ago)

MrJ: You know that voice I use on you when I'm answering some question about music, that one you hate, that has that tone of "why you idiot, EVERYONE on the planet knows THIS"?

Me: uhm, yes?

MrJ: That's the same one you use on me whenever I'm trying to do anything that needs tools.

Me: ...<guilty>

― Jaq, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

She's sort of a slob (in a girl way) and she lets people walk all over her too much in work situations and she doesn't know how to relax sometimes. Love her to bits though.

― admrl, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:15 (eighteen years ago)

I'm sure she'd have many more for me - checking my hair in car windows while she's talking to me, internet, annoying "music", watching football, trying to get sympathy for even the smallest difficulties.

― admrl, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:17 (eighteen years ago)

jaymc, does she ever offer to clean your bathroom?

― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:25 (eighteen years ago)

I see that Sunny Successor hasn't posted on this thread since she can't come up with anything I do that drives her most around the twist.

― Pleasant Plains, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

Mr. Que: She has cleaned the sink sometimes, but not usually much more than that. But you know, it's not like I clean the bathroom that frequently, either. It probably wouldn't bug me as much if I would just clean more often, since it's not like cleaning up her muck would take me that much longer than usual. It mostly bugs me now because it's so visible.

Anyway, standard disclaimer that I love her and think she's fantastic in so many other ways.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 16:36 (eighteen years ago)

Bastard

yeah jaymc it sounds like the kind of thing where it would be awesome if she offered to clean up her muck--and maybe you could or should tell her that in a really nice way, but not while you are in a fight and not right after one, either. she'll probably understand, since it sounds like she's aware of your space and stuff and she's considerate.

that being said, i cannot offer this thread much in the way of confessions, because a) my wife posts around here and b) my wife is TOTALLY PERFECT OMG.
