common marital pet peeves

I was trying to think of interesting things to blog about and I came across an idea where people had posted about their pet peeves within their marriages. Don't get me wrong though, I absolutely ADORE my husband. There is honestly no other person in this entire universe that I would want to share my life other than him. But lets be honest, marriage isn't all about the PDA and the lovey-dovey text messages... you gotta be willing to accept that person for ALL their flaws. Some of which you won't even discover until you start actually living with them. (Usually happens after the honeymoon stage..lol)
So I thought it would be really funny to see what other people found annoying about their spouses and be able to compare it to mine.

1) Distraction by electronic devices.
...Oh my hell, I can't stand it when I tell my husband something or ask him something and look at him to find he's not even listening because he's zoned into his phone. I WILL GRAB YOUR PHONE AND THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW.... and I won't feel bad one bit. Sorry bout it!
2) Disguising empty cartons as full by returning them to the fridge.
....Not a huge issue in my marriage but it does happen from time to time. C'mon now, if it's empty then throw it away!
3) Clothing abandonment, mostly all over the bedroom floor.
....Rob swears it's just my clothes but yet I find myself folding all of his pants and his shirts when I start cleaning haha. This is a problem we BOTH need to work on.
4) Waterboarding towels by leaving them wet on the floor.
...LOL Rob does leave his wet towels everywhere but I don't mind. I just pick 'em up and throw 'em in the hamper.
5) Joke reruns by repeating the same jokes over and over again.
....LMAO this one is probably on my end. I think I'm hilarious and I laugh at my own jokes all the time. Sue me.
6) Trashing the car by leaving trash in it.
....Ouch, me again. This drives my husband nuts.. but I really do leave trash in there with the intentions of cleaning the car out once I get home from work. hahaha.
7) Toilet roll sabotage by not replacing it when it’s empty.
....Omg YES.. especially when the extra rolls are only an arm-length away.. and you are CLEARLY able to reach them but you still don't replace it. Oh, but I also hate when they do actually get and un-wrap the spare roll but then just leave it on top of the sink or on the floor..... like seriously?!! It takes TWO seconds out of your life to change a toilet paper roll, get it together.
8) Rude awakenings by making noise when you’re still sleeping.
....my husband's snore sounds like a bear... but a bear that's getting choked and trying to gasp for air. I literally have to punch his chest to get him to stop.
9) Chewing like a farm animal and other bad table manners.
....HAHAHAHA I'm laughing to keep from crying because my husband tells me all the time that I chew gum like a cow. A "ratchet cow" in his words.. 
10) Chronic lateness.
...Yup, Rob knows I HAAAAAATE waiting.. so when he's late picking me up somewhere I'm in the worst mood ever and can be so rude. lol. My patience is very thin when it comes to my husband and that's something that I'm working on.. hahaha
11) Talking while you’re trying to watch a movie.
...Hahaha damn it! Me again.. Rob absolutely hates whenever I throw in my two cents during movies because 90% of the time I'm right about what happens and it ruins the movie for him. LOL- my bad boo..
12) Bad hygiene by ‘forgetting’ to shower, brush teeth, or change underwear.
...thankfully, my husband actually has really good hygiene.
13) Refusing to suggest specific foods, restaurants, movies, activities.
...haha so i'm indecisive sometimes, so what!?
14) Waiter bullying by being needlessly rude to waiters.
...I was a waitress for my first job so trust me when I say that I understand the struggle. Therefore, I pretty much force my husband to be nice and tip good anytime we go out to eat... haha. 
15) Food pirating by plundering food and deserts off your plate.
...hahaha Rob hates when I do this- Anytime he asks me if I'm hungry, 85% of the time I say no. And then when he has his plate of food and is eating it I ask him if I can have some and then end up eating the rest of it LOL
16) Climate change by manipulating thermostats or windows without previous negotiation.
..yes, I get hot easily during the night and like to leave the window open.. but he gets irritated because he gets cold easily and wants to shut it.. lol. It's a never-ending battle with that.
17) Putting private pictures up without your consent.
...haha this isn't an problem really but majority of the time when Rob & I try to take pictures I ALWAYS look horrible, but he'll look really good. Or when I finally get a good picture of me, he won't like the way he looks so we end up not posting anything haha but sometimes he'll just go right ahead and post one of the ones where he looks hott and I look like I have 4 chins. Yea, EXTRA annoying.
19) Packing the whole closet for an overnight trip.
....I know it irritates Rob when I overpack but HELLO? I'd rather overpack than under-pack.. the last thing I want while on a trip is that I forgot something... so in order to avoid that I pack everything :) haha he complains while i'm packing but he doesn't complain when he forgets something and I was a step ahead of him and packed it for him. lol. Men, I tell ya.... they think they know everything!
20) Turning into a baby at the first sign of a cough or cold.
....Aha! This is me. I seriously expect Rob to do everything and anything for me if I'm sick, even though I'm perfectly capable, and he knows it too, and tells me "You're not a baby". But ends up doing it all for my anyways haha One of the many reasons why I love that guy ;) 
21) Used tissues left around the house.
...this doesn't really fall into the "tissue" category but am I the only one who's husband blows his nose in the kitchen dish towels and then just puts it back on the counter?!

22) Selective hearing.
...one time Rob asked me what I wanted from Taco Bell and I said, "A cheesy double beef burrito."..... then two minutes later he says, "Wait, a cheesy chicken taco what??"
[insert idiot face] OR.. there's always that time when I say to my husband, "We should go eat here, I heard it's really good." and he says, "No I don't want to go there it sounds gross." and then ALL. OF. A. SUDDEN... days later he says to me, "Hey my friend told me about this place to eat at called [insert place that I had told him about] and he said it's good so we should go try it!".......... like reeeeally? That's funny because that was the freaking place I was talking about, you big dummy.

Okay I'm done. haha once again, my husband drives me crazy. But if he can still love me for my bad habits of leaving trash in our car and talking during a movie, then I sure as hell can love him for his selective hearing and his choking bear snoring ;)
