Re: Spouse Annoying Habits

My wifes worst habit?

Probably perpetuating a stereotype whilst participating in another classic stereotypical situation.

My wife doesn't care for basketball either.

In fact, that's her name for basketball - "Squeaky Sneakers."

Anyway, my biggest complaint: sometimes when she brings me a beer, it's TOO cold.

[What can I say, only been married 4+ months, not too much to get upset about yet. ]

So does mine. And she complains that she doesn't. In fact she gets upset when I mention it. I keep trelling her that since she is asleep, there is no way SHE can tells if she's snoring or not. Yet she sticks to her guns and says she doesn't.

I then say "Well, the only logical conclusion then is that there is a bear hiding under our bed."

As far as having to read my wife's mind or know her thoughts ahead of time? No thanks. I don't even try. It would probably give me nightmares.

Get a tape recorder.

Welcome to the club. Here's the rest of the list.

1. Backseat driving.

2. She thinks pointing is rude, so instead she jerks her head toward something and makes a face that I can't even describe, which looks more ridiculous than pointing ever would.

3. She won't go to movie theaters. If a good movie comes out, I see it by myself or with a friend, and then she watches it when the DVD comes out.

I really can't find anything else, so I guess I'm pretty lucky.

Re: Spouse Annoying Habits

My wifes most annoying habit is to completely overlook my faults. All of them, all of the time. Makes you feel like a complete butt-munch to point out any of the few she acutally has.

Re: Spouse Annoying Habits

I realized the only other annoying habbit Mrs. Ltlabner has. In the mornings, her alarm clock goes off before mine. She lets it go off.....and keep going off.....and keep going off....and keep going off...until I wake up and nudge her. The second I nudge her she quickly reaches over and hits the snooze button. Then the cycle repeates itself 3 or 4 more times before she actually gets out of bed. By this time, I'm mostly awake and end up getting out of bed.

She has no explination, and as I posted earlier the other things she does that annoy me say more about my idocyncracies than they do her habbits so I can live with the very few "legitmate" annoying things she does.

Re: Spouse Annoying Habits

My wife has to get up at 4:30 in the morning. So she has her alarm clock set for 3:45 and then lets the sleep mode keep going off about every 5-10 minutes.

Why not just sleep until you have to get up? Why be waking yourself up every 5-1o minutes for an hour before you really have to? Doesn't make sense to me at all.

Re: Spouse Annoying Habits

I was in the snooze habit for awhile. I got out of it by moving my alarm clock so I had to get my tush up to turn it off.
