I can't be the only one - Significant Other therapy thread
 

I love my DH but yesterday... he borrowed my iron and left red fuzzies all over my ironing board and cutting table. I've cleaned them up as best I can but everything I'm working with is getting slightly fuzzier. ARGH!

What has your significant other innocently done that really annoyed you?

I hubby of 38 years [tomrrow] is a wood carver. my sewing room was next to the carport that he was doing some power carving in. He do not see the window in the sewing room was open. EVERTHING was cover in saw dust when I went in the sewing room. My sewing room is no longer next to the carport.

It's all that breathing in and out lol

This was one my dad did that annoyed my mom - he used her "good" scissors to cut his toenails!

lol, that's funny ;-)

Walked in on mine using rotary cutter cutting up rags. and the daughter used my good scissors to cut artfical flowers with wire stems good nick :mad:now paper scissors.

I have a black medium weight jacket I wear in the winter, that I even wore to work. I came home from running errands and he had MY jacket on mowing the lawn and mulching the leaves!! I have very severe asthma and allergies, so before I could wear this jacket I had to wash it. Of course this was always on a late Sunday afternoon so I would have to wash it that night. After about 2-3 times of doing this I hit the roof!! He doesn't do it anymore. :)

Oh gosh. I love Mr Stitchnripper very much (going on 31 years married). But I tell him he lives on my last nerve most of the time!

And having the pie-hole open with sound coming out at the very beginning and very ending of a TV show I'm attempting to watch.

My good sewing scissors were once used to cut laminated cardstock....

I keep my scraps for my string quilts in a tall waste basket. Two weeks ago, it happened to be full and he was on his way to throw it in the trash, (thinking because it was a waste basket, it was trash). It is a good thing I was home at the time otherwise, all my scraps would be history, WHEW!!!

Don't complain about them, just go with the flow and appreciate them for who they are! :)

I can't think of anything lately but tomorrow's another day. LOL

You are blessed that your DH knows how to iron! Get a sticky roller and clean up those fuzzies, if they are only on your ironing board, it shouldn't take long.

ahahaha! you're cracking me up ;-)

Oh, this has some funny replies....

Many chuckles here.

DH decided to help me garden... Weed - eated( ate? ) new blueberry bushes and sent one fruiting apple tree to the compost pile before I could convince him that I don't need any more help!

One time, I caught mine taking my new upright vacuum cleaner out to the garage to vacuum up sand from his sandblasting adventure. Another time, he decided that the off-white bath towels from the master bathroom were fair game for use as car washing towels! Needless to say, every so often we have "refresher classes" in what's to be used for what!

You guys are funny!

I agree. I'm sure we do things (at least I know that I do) that rub against the grain for them.

I have been married for 26 years to a very wonderful man. We have had only one argument in that time. It was at a time when I was very depressed because I had couldn't walk without falling on my face so I stayed away from everyone. He got upset about me staying to myself because he didn't know what was going on but he ask me the wrong question and I blow sky high.
He asked if I was having an affair with someone else.
Wrong question, I got into my truck, he jump in front of it but soon jumped out of the way when I pressed the gas at full speed. If he hadn't jump out of the way I would have run him over because I was that angry that he didn't trust me better then that.

We have never had another argument since. I'm glad he moved out of the way. I would be lost without him.

Not mine but my SIL's story. We were having a yard sale at my house and the hubbies were supposed to clean up the yard and take out a dying tree at her house. Then pick up a few things at our house before heading to the dump. I'll never forget the look on her face when they pulled in. "You took out the wrong tree!!"

My DH likes to clean his Sunday shoes with a nice, white clean wash cloth. For some reason, I can't get it thru to him to use the stained ones that won't come clean from before........Also, I have the running commentary at the beginning, end, and all thru the middle of any show I want to watch. I usually end up taping them and rewatching them later.

This is what I like about this board and the people on it. You get your laugh of the day. This is so funny. God sure knew that we would need laughs, when he made adam and eve

I really feel sorry for you ladies whose husband feels free to go into your sewing area and 'borrow' your tools. Mine knows that EVERYTHING in my sewing room is OFF LIMITS.

I don't know where to start! Love him dearly but geezzzz......what do we expect, they're only men!

I've been married for 39 years this year. We are really good about staying out of each other's "stuff". There is the occasional "oops", but that's what Joann's 50% off coupons are for. If he was disrespecting my stuff, we'd have another problem. Gotta keep him - I promised!!

Let me count the ways........................

After we moved to a new house with an unfinished basement I agitated till he helped me drywall (translate that as helped me carry the sheets into the basement) three walls. The rest was storage of boxes as the movers had dumped them. I worked for months to carve out my sewing quilting space as well as organize a pantry so it was a pleasant sight when I had friends over to my space.
What has he done to this pleasant space? He brought in all his wine and beer making paraphernalia because. "the garage is too messy". Mind you he makes awesome fine wine and beer. BUT.....

Since my DH is a mechanic, he knows about good quality tools. It's when I want something simple made, or rearranged - he wants to make it bigger 'cause that must be better! LOL He really leaves any household stuff to me. I think it comes from waiting until he was 40 to be married.

I love all your funny DH stories, but I have to say....at least you still have a DH. Mine will be gone 16 years next week, and I would love to have him around to complain about. Now all I have to complain to is the dog.

Sneaking up on me when I'm sewing is a big no-no. Finally threatened that I was going to pepper spray him the next time. He now lets me know when he's coming down the hallway.

Your stories have certainly entertained me as I drink my first cup of coffee. As for my DH honestly I can't think of anything off hand, but that could be because I am just happy to have him. He was in a very serious M/C accident in April and honestly I am lucky he is alive. So right now, he is in the clear and can pretty much do no wrong. Life would be so awful without him. I thank the Lord each and every day for letting him stay with me, and pray he will be back to new soon.

But, thank you for all your stories : )

I have been married 54 years, there is not enough room on the internet to hold all my stories of, " oh no, you didn't!"

My Husband of over 51 years doesn't go into my sewing room. I keep old scissors in a handy place. He use to use my glass cleaning diaper for a rag. I explained what I used it for, end of problem.

Even before I started quilting DH and 3 daughters knew "Mum's sewing things are off limits - NO exceptions"

Not funny but funny still! This is typical, I think, of many of their sex: overdoing everything. Overkill.....and in the case of y our blueberries and apple tree......literally!

ROTFLOL!!!!!!!! Spit my breakfast out on that one!!!!

YES, but if you do that I bet he has a cow!! The male gene!!!
