The first thing mine does when he comes back from somewhere is take his dentures out or doesn't put them in at all. Drives me crazy - and it's a very short drive.
Turns the TV up way too loud then sleeps in front of it. Since he's just gone back to work at least he isn't just sitting in front of it all day.
But, he puts up with me and I know I'm not the easiest person to live with. Patience is not one of my virtues.

Willing to be 10 minutes late when I am always wanting to be 10 minutes early. I learned from a smart man that there are two kind of people: time-oriented (me) and event-oriented (him). If I am at a meeting or home to leave for one or any event for that matter, I leave before the time when I need to be someplace; he will be on time ONLY if the event is at the very final conclusion or his conversatio with the person he is talking to is completely over regardless of the time or if he is late to be somewhere.
We have been married 46 years and he was at our wedding on time; I believe that was the LAST time. I can count on my fingers how many times in my lifetime I have been late.

My lovely husband of 47 years seems to think that dirty clothes are a interior design item, draping them on chests, chairs, etc. When I put them in the dirty clothes hamper, he either asks me to smell to see if they're too stinky to wear again or he informs me the item in question has a "few more wearings" left in it. Gotta love an ex-marine with such a hygenic bent.

Where to begin...
Making a "sucking" noise through his teeth when carrying on a conversation. Cracking his fingers at the dinner table. When I drive, he "navigates" by pointing directions with his finger under my nose rather than telling me where to turn. Cleaning his teeth at the dinner table by swishing water in his mouth. Leaving at 5:00 am every day to go to work so we can beat the traffic and he STILL drives like a maniac. And the snoring, OMG!!! I recorded his snoring one night and replayed it for him the next day and he wouldn't believe it was him...
All that aside, his good qualities far outweigh the bad and I'll keep him another 30 years.

Mine has a multitude of annoying habits that I'm certain he didn't have when we married 11 years ago. However, when he had to be hospitalized for 6 days in January from a burst/septic appendix & home for 2 weeks recovering, I realized that I'm not quite ready to trade him in...yet :D
