    What's good for the goose ya know... :-D We both like a neat house....,but if I leave dishes to air dry.He'll likely dry & put them away.
    Drives him crazy that I won't leave way,way early for a Dr's appt.He's never late, but getting there 10 mins ahead is early enough!

    That I can't save money quite like he can. I am sure he could tell you many, many, many more!

    Speaking too softly for him to hear me. (I don't do it intentionally)

    I clear the table immediately after eating. He likes to sit and 'digest' or whatever. I can't sit with the remnants of dinner staring up at me from the table. He'll even try putting his hands on top of things so I can't grab them.

    Then he does something that irritates me. He dumps everything in the sink - including the trash. Used napkins, used tea bags, food wrappers - in the sink. Then they get wet, then they're disgusting to pick up and carry to the bin.

    BUT ... 90% of the time he does the dishes.

    I'm bossy! I have hearing loss in my right ear so if he speaks to me with getting my attention first I will ask him to repeat what he said. He hates to repeat himself. The kids don't have to repeat things because they will say Mom before saying anything else.

    I seem to have an adversion to closing the kitchen cupboards & drawers, funny thing ... this drives me crazy as well.
    I'll walk back into the kitchen & see every door & drawer I have been into open just a crack; I don't know how he stands it!

    Talking on the phone. I have a loud voice and it irritates him if he is watching TV. He prefers that I go into the bedroom or my sewing room but I sure do like my comfy recliner! But it sure is peculiar that if I am talking to him, he doesn't hear me! Hmmm, selective listening I think!

    ROFLMBO ... ME TOO! Drives DH nuts! He also hates it when I read ... don't know why ... he's watching TV so it's not like he's talking :roll:

    What drives me crazy is that he will put his dirty paper plates or leave empty cans or containers on the kitchen counter ... DUH put them in the trash LOL

    not closing cabinet doors, not putting things back where they belong, speaking too softly, using HIS good scissors.

    Watching "say Yes to the Dress" or any HGTV show really bugs him.
