we always talk about what the guys do that drive us crazy or makes us mad so why not look into the mirror a bit.
I snooze like 6x before I get out of bed. Scott hated that in the beginning, but now he snoozes too
I have a different 'standard' of clean then he does and it drives him nuts that the bathroom needs to be cleaned more than once a month.
I hate clutter on the dressers. He feels that it's his dresser and he should be able to have stuff on it. I say 'put the stuff away'

He gets tired of the type of movies/shows I like.

I grind my teeth while I am sleeping

I leave the lights on.

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

I drive him crazy by

sleeping with the TV on and forgetting to put the timer on

by watching the same movie over and over again

I throw the blankets off the bed b/c I am hot, but he actually wants to use them.

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

Hmmm, I should call him up on this one .. I'm sure he'll be happy to share!

A few things that drive Rob nuts:

-- that it takes me forever to get up in the morning and when I do wake up, I'm CRANKY!!!
-- that I leave my books everywhere ... on the kitchen table, on the desk, etc ...
-- that I HAVE to check this website whenever I have a free minute
-- that I can fall asleep at anytime anywhere (especially while watching a movie), when it takes him so long to fall asleep
-- that I can't make a decision -- it takes me about 20 minutes to figure out what I want to eat, what movie to see, what tiles I want for the bathroom
-- that my hair is EVERYWHERE, even though I complain about the cat's hair
-- that I have so many clothes, but I still have nothing to wear!

But I love that ... even though I drive him nuts sometimes, he loves me!

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

I pick on him a lot more than he picks on me. But, aside from hating my nagging, he hates it when I project or worry about the future. I do it a lot! At least we balance each other out....he's very passive and laid back so I do all of the worrying for us!

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

Nina ... me too! He hates that I already have our kids names picked out (not really, but always thinking ahead). He wants to enjoy just now and worry about the future then!!!

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

Lets see now:

1. That I watch corny love movies
2. Leave dirty clothes on the floor instead of putting them in the hamper.

Thats all i can think of for now, Im sure theres more that he hasnt told me.

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

I just completed reading some of these and I see so many similarities

Roger hates that I leave the TV on and that I watch the same movie over and over.

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

I didn't realize the picking of the pimples was such a problem issue I'll admit, I'm guilty of it too, what woman isn't? He freaks when he sees me doing this and is like a little child banging on the bathroom door, asking what I'm doing - like he has pimple radar or something.

He HATES the fact that I watch General Hospital or OLTL. Everytime they are on, he'll come over and start to trash talk Jax or Todd - awwh hell, he's just jealous!

He hates when I take my clothes off at night because he complains that when he goes to do a load of laundry, he has to wrestle my undies off of my pants, stockings, etc.! (TMI - he's afraid he'll touch something nasty, especially when Aunt Flow is in town!)

He hates that I gossip to my mother about b.s. issues, but hey, isn't that part of being a female?

He hates when I go shopping because I lose my mind in the stores and lose sight of a simple thing like the word BUDGET.

He hates the fact that I have a slight case of OCD when it comes to the cleaning in the house and will intentionally try to 'dirty' something so that it's more comfortable for him.

That's about all I can think of right now.

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

I walk around the house with a fantastic bottle in one hand and bounty towels in the other. I can't stand to see dust anywhere. He freaks b/c I'm always squirting everywhere.

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

He can't stand when I forget to remove the hair off the bathroom tile in the shower after I wash my hair.

He hates that I clutter things up. He's a total neat freak!

He doesn't get why I have to post all the time on LIW

Too many things to list!!!

Betty Posted: Sep 23, 2003 09:34 AM

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

LOTS of things ....He hates that I am very rough with things (break lots), and hates that I get crumbs EVERYWHERE when I eat just to name a couple

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

Ok, I started the thread about what hubby does that's annoying, and last night I started to feel a little guilty. However, he did read the replies and insisted to me that 'see, we're all alike'. But of course, I am no angel!!

1. The phone is attached to my ear.
2. I trash my car. Its a 2002, and he can't understand how I can leave and empty 7-11 coffee cup in the cup holder. Why do i need 3 sweat shirts in the back seat, etc.
3. I can't get up in the a.m. And when I do, I am the spawn of the devil. It takes me a while to get moving in the am.
4. I too put too much water in the coffee pot (when I have time for a cup at home).
5. I leave left overs in the fridge too long.
6. I'm now addicted to this web site.
7. How many pairs of jeans do I need?
8. I'm always bitc*ing about the house situation, that we will be stuck in an apartment forever, that I give up, the prices will never go down. Then I go on the multiple listing service and freak out at the prices and start a war between us. So needless to say, DH hates discussing houses with me. He's says I'm too negative.
But he loves me

Re: what is something you do that drives him nuts?

I like to stack thing on the kitchen table. When I come home from work, kitchen table is my favorite surface on which to put my bag, mail, any magazines I was reading on train, etc, etc, etc! DH hates that! He likes kitchens table clean, I guess so he can eat at any moment! He always cleans it, so cute!
