I know! Are women genetically programmed to be able to scan a space quickly and immediately spot the searched for item? If not, then I have a true gift. LOL and my husband and kids do not.
OMG!!! ME TOO! TOTALLY!!!
Mine will look into our one pantry where we keep things like cereal, potatoes, oil, etc. He'll open it up, do a blank stare into the center of it, and after about 5 seconds say, "Where is X"??
Like, I KNOW you didn't look! LOL!
He doesn't even TRY anymore. I don't have the most organized home, but I know where everything is. He's impressed by that. LOL

I have to join SpecialMom in that "I'm the ONLY one who knows where things are".
My Husband and I have been married and living in the same house for 29 years yet He will ask me "where's the.........whatever (it can be almost anything) - but the one that REALLY gets me is when He will open the refrigerator and ask "Where's the butter?" or "Where's the mayonnaise?" or "Where's the juice?" - I ALWAYS answer "it's in the refrigerator" - He hardly seems to notice His question or my answer but I notice everytime He does it. Pet Peeve - yes, but I keep it to myself cuz I don't want Him to think I'm "petty".

It's only natural to have pet peeves with the people you live with and no big deal. Some things are funny and some things indeed irritate me to death. Such is life with another under the roof with another human being. :>)
Yes my Hub is a good man too! We laugh a lot.How about your nick names for each other..My hub calls me "Goof Ball" and I call him "Goofy"; you should see when we our out in the stores yelling these name at each other to see were we are; Hey Goofy where are you?? Over in 9 Goof Ball. The looks we get. Ha!!!

One time, and I swear I have nothing to do with it, my husband took a big drink of his water and ran to the sink and spit it out. One of my kids put a chicken nugget in it. I don't know why but I still laugh out loud when I remember that scene.
Oh, I feel the same way, my hubby has tons of wonderful amazing qualities as well, and while the things I mentioned get under my skin, I wouldn't call them bad "qualities" per se...just quirks and habits. I have plenty myself that drive him nuts.
My FAVORITE thing about hubby is his sense of humor. Ours are very similar, so we find the same things funny most of the time. We sort of "razz" one another about our pet peeves, and get a mutual laugh out of it.
Like when he lets out one of his "BURPS"....I'll look at him and say "really?" And we'll giggle. Same with the cup thing...I pointed it out to him once, and he laughed, because he never realized he did it. The next day, ever cup in our closet was lined up on the counter with a note that said ("find the water cup"). I was lmao!

Ahh. ha. Well, the good thing when 'people' (AKA hubby) gossips . . . it is only fun to gossip if someone is listening. They do it less when we act uninterested.
Yes, my husband has many wonderful qualities. They outweigh the bad for sure.
However, I've decided that I'm the kind of person that will have pet peeves with ANYONE I live with. I think I'm just irritable. LOL
I've got pet peeves for my beloved kids too!!
Here is another one for both husband and kids. Why am *I* the ONLY one that knows where things are? How many times a day do I hear "Where's X?" My brain must be big with all I have to store in it that no one else in my house has to.

Other than my above complaint.......don't really have any more "pet peeves." The good points about him are overwhelmingly high.
@specialmom.......was referring to my husband. :) Just used the word "people" to be more polite to my sweet hubby.

Ha ha, so, NG. If you were our neighbors ,. . . it would be YOUR husband I secretly wish would lose the back yard bathroom urge??
Ha, well. Once my husband showed my young son when he was maybe 4 how to pee outside because we were at a place where there were no bathrooms. OMG. It took like 6 months to get my son to stop!! He LoVED it. Gross, man!

I have a male neighbor that pees in his back yard. I'm like 'dude, I can SEE you."
Oh boy...add another pet peeve to my list. LOL
We have almost 15 acres, but still. Use the freakin bathroom! UGH! LOL

Oh that is so gross!!!!!! I would be absolutely mortified if my husband did that. Oh geez.

No joke . . . I have a male neighbor that pees in his back yard. I'm like 'dude, I can SEE you." I'm awful glad that it's not my husband doing that!
Im sure if they were allowed to do this it would be part of the ritual!
My biggest pet peeve is when he chews food, gum, etc. with his mouth open like a horse. Sometimes I just want to punch him in the face, but instead I just grind my teeth and just tell him to chew with his mouth closed.
OK, As long as they do not lift there leg and urinate on the furniture to leave there mark..Ha!!!!
Giggles to all!
Giggles to all!
Men are like animals and like to mark their territory. This includes putting glasses in areas, leaving cloths in certain spots and other things. Just a thought from a male perspective :)

ha ha, 'laundry is supposed to be if we ever win the LOTTERY!

OMG, I about lost it on the rogue bone making him uber upset. LOL I'm still laughing.
Okay, my husband turns into a 12 year old boy when he toots (yeah, I'm a mom, I say toot)--- he occasionally lifts his leg and does an arm pull when it is a really good one. Very romantic. And he puts his hand up to his mouth and does like a three stooges thing with his hand and fingers by his mouth to extend the burp sound. Very classy. He's cut down on this type of gross behavior since we had our two sons and they began noticing and giggling at him. At LEAST he's got the common sense to not try to pass on such lovely things to them.
My husband does his own laundry. What can I say? We met in our thirties and he likes doing his own laundry . . . however, if we ever win the laundry, we will splurge for TWO laundry rooms. We fight over the washer and dryer. I do my laundry and the kids and all the household things like towels and sheets. I do laundry frequently. I mean, anyone that has a kid that plays baseball knows that you have to wash baseball pants like every other day! My husband will let his laundry pile up and then 'claim' the laundry room for his. And sometimes he leaves his stuff in the washer and doesn't transfer it to the dryer and has to rewash it. What a waste of water!! But I TRY not to say too much. My pet peeve is when he takes what I have in the dryer before I can get to it and just dumps it into a laundry basket. I find it after the fact all wrinkled and bunched up. This can cause a blood boil on my part. I ALWAYS fold his stuff or lay it neatly on our bed or in a basket for him so that his things aren't wrinkled. I do my best to NEVER iron, so wrinkles are not a good thing for me.
So funny about the drink NG. Our husbands might be long lost twins like we are. . .

My husband keeps a drink on the edge of our countertop at ALL times. he doesn't take his drink of water with him out of the kitchen, he always leaves it on the counter. And it is always there. he changes glasses once a day.
OMG!!!! NO WAY!! My husband does the EXACT same thing!! Down to the glass ALWAYS being in the kitchen and him changing it every day, only he never puts the OLD ones in the dishwasher or sink...they end up lined up, I can always tell the newest by the sweat on the outside. That's freaking HYSTERICAL. Same darn thing! Drives me nuts.
One of my pet peeves is my hubby getting sayings wrong...like if he's annoyed, he'll say "nether mind" instead of "never mind". He also will start using a "new" word randomly, and overuse the CRAP out of it for about 3-4 months. The last two words were "rogue" and "uber". UGH! "I had a rogue bone in my fish and I was uber upset". Grrrrrr.
Let's see, what else...I too have the socks on the floor in the BR, but to be fair, the BR needs a little (LOT) of work, it's my catch all room (aka hoarder's room)...so I can't really get mad about that. ;0)
If he's working on something downstairs or outside, he opens and closes (the loud) garage door about every 10 min, he refuses to leave it open because of snakes. LOL Also, in between the g door opening and shutting (manual, he wouldn't do it if it was automatic), his air compressor in the garage cycles on about every 20 minutes. First time I heard it, I almost soiled myself, didn't have a clue what it was.
The man exaggerates his burps...not in an obnoxious way, but when he burps, it sounds like he's SAYING "BURP". Annoying.
He farts EVERY time he pees (BR in close proximity to living room)...several times.
Oh gee...I've gone on haven't I? I could fill the whole thread. There are a lot of those little irritating things. Most of them we joke and laugh about but some irk me (the water glass)...lol.
Great thread, SM!!

Yes, My Hub was really good about putting his clothes up. Now he has them in the bathroom and in the room on the floor and sometimes his socks on the edge of the couch. I say to him, hey you know where the laundry basket is. He just says, OH they are not dirty. Well then put them up somewhere. This is not the laundry room! I find myself gong in circles now picking up for him. He was not like this before.BUT he does keep up with the dishes now and then when I am gone and did not get to them. I guess there is two sides to the story always..Ha!!!

Oh the dishwasher thing! Emptying it is like pulling teeth!!!! I always get, "Yup I'll do it." *sigh* I end up doing it. lol
Ya know Specialmom, that was a very prophetic statement about its hard work being right all the time. I, in reality, could not put in the effort that my wife does making sure to say and do the correct things as she does. And in some ways this attention to detail causes many of the peeves you mention. I think for the most part, men just want to go to work, come home, eat and go to bed. i know i do! But with the Corvette, ive been driving the long way home, So there!!! Im so irresponsible!!!
