Get it off your chest here. Lets go!
My wife has an annoying little habit that drives me absolutely bonkers. She NEVER finishes a drink. EVER. Whether it is water, iced tea, wine, anything. She always leaves about an inch on the bottom of every glass. An hour after the ice melts, and it is room temperature, she tells me "don't touch it I'll finish it later". The next morning, like clockwork, before I leave for work, I do the rounds and collect the five or six of these glasses strewn about the various counter-tops and coffee tables, and put them in the dishwasher.

Sheesh. I know. It's gotta be the pettiest, most insignificant thing in the world yet my panties get all bunched up because of it. Anyway, if that's the worst thing that gets on my nerves, I am the luckiest man in the world.

OK I feel better now. Any vents from fellow DUers here about your SO's you want to share with 15 million of your closest friends?

1. Yelling something at me from another room
I have poor hearing and always end up getting up to go where she is. If I tell her I can't hear what she is saying she just trys to be louder.

5. Hi, hey ... yeah! Shouting from the next room. I'm hearing impaired, too .
I cannot hear the beginning and ending sounds, when he talks from the next room. i.e.... dark sounds like bark, lark, mar, spar, ...etc.

Did you know that marriage is what causes deafness?

17. Oh, for fuck's sake, that's the worst!!
I can complete a conversation, then she'll yell something at me from across the apartment not quite loud enough to make out the words.

2. He leaves mayo covered spoons and knives in the sink
and he leaves sticky, creamer-covered coffee spoons on the counter.

3. I had a friend like that. She said that the last 2 inches are spit.
Backwash. Especially when drinking out of a bottle.

7. How the hell do people who think that drink?
I mean, with every swig do they swirl it around in their mouth for a while, then spit a little back? :wtf:

10. Theoretically, you tip the bottle, take a chug, but don't swallow
everything that you just put in your mouth, because your throat isn't large enough, so the rest, mixed with spit goes back in the bottle. Spit is thicker than beer, so it floats to the bottom, thus the last 2 inches. This is not my theory, it's Kathy's, and the last time I heard anything about her(about 1998) she was a discjocky in Marquette, Michigan.

11. If you see her again
...remind her that spit is warmer than beer, and thus floats to the top. She's been drinking gallons of spit! :D

13. Also, wouldn't the thick crap float? So theoretically, wouldn't she
be drinking spit from the first swig? Huh, whatta dufus. I don't know if I'll ever see her again in this life, but thank God I never paid attention to that crap. :hide:

4. My wonderful husband -
After spreading peanut butter on bread, he sticks the same knife into the jam jar.

I do not WANT peanut butter in the jam jar.

I always use a spoon in the jam jar. He thinks it doesn't matter. But it does matter to those of us who do not want peanut butter in the jam!

14. That was my Dad's pet peeve. Always use a spoon for the jam.
He liked cream cheese and jam sandwiches, and exploded if he found peanut butter in the jam.

12. Actually just discussed this with Hubby, I get to post mine and his.
He is always late. (Even on our 1st date, I shoulda known)
I never put the lids back on things tightly. So if you come to dinner DO NOT SHAKE ANYTHING IN THE FRIDGE UNLESS YOU PRE-TIGHTEN THE LID.
