Let's have an airing of minor pet peeves that your spouse/significant displays that irritates you.

She doesn’t put the lawnmower all the way against the garage wall when she’s done with it.
We had some issues with the wok. I had encouraged to use as high of heat as we could, naturally, it being a wok and all. She would follow these food blog recipes for stir fry that would say like medium heat. We'd wind up with soupy stir fry.
Too much of a rule follower, in this case, recipe. Thankfully that's been resolved.

You have to let dishes soak in the sink for a couple days. That’s just science.
That reads like you Northern'd her.
Ha, I did leave out a few steps. Like rather than insisting, I'd just watch, then drop slight passive aggressive comments. "Kind of soupy", "should it take this long to reduce?", then order a wok book and randomly read out "tips".
The wok expert guy helped a lot.
My wife consistently loses both her wallet and her keys. Always asks me where they are and I have no idea where she left them. It always falls on deaf ears when I bring up that maybe she should always put them on her dresser so she will know where they're at...
Ok, so I complained that my better half is OCD..... But I am too on certain things. Rinse, and then put in the dishwasher. The dishwasher is not a GD garbage disposal. Kids drive me nuts on this. Is it truly that hard to do this? I'm a step parent so I always have to toe the line, but come on man.... Would you only wipe your butt once if you knew there was more up there?
She does not reveal her vagina nearly enough, but I can live with that. What can't be tolerated is not putting the cap back on the toothpaste. Finally after 20 years, I just started using a separate tube for myself.
A friend of mine once said that he and his wife were starting a conversation after she got home from work.
He told me he said to her…’Let me stop you just a second and guess where this is going. Is this the part where you tell me how much smarter you are than everyone else at work and how they don’t work as hard as you?’ Lol. Ouch.
My wife puts stuff in the dishwasher in such a way that it makes it clear that she thinks that the wash cycle takes place after the entire dishwasher fills with water and circulates around like clothes in a washer. Dishes facing up. Glasses on their side. Utensils hanging down in the path of the wash sprayer blocking it from turning. Drives me crazy.
Last time I put a load in my dishwasher she got pregnant.
I’ve been trying for 25 years to get my wife to correctly salt pasta water. Still no luck.
Funny, as I came to post the same about my wife. 15 years together and still every used dish goes in the sink rather than the dishwasher. More often than not, in the left hand side blocking the garbage disposal. I'm fairly certain that I've made it clear that she's just adding work and inconvenience for me and that directly into the dishwasher saves everyone time. Pretty sure it's out of spite at this point. FML.
When she cooks she uses every utensil and gadget known to man. What a mess.
Also, when we go running on the beach, she always wears a bikini. Just not practical for physical activity.

This is true however 120 minutes in exchange for 37 seconds of hopping on the ****truck for a ride to Poundtown is horrible coitus ROI.
The levity of having a woman on this thread is absolutely needed. Men are Neanderthals. We constantly hear what we are doing wrong. Encouragement to do right is good.

On the serious side. My wife has definite hoarding tendencies and it runs in her family.
I am able to keep things in check but if something would happen to me? ......

At least you know she'll keep you around even if (when) you become useless
1. I get to hear every detail of every insignificant dream. Hell, I can't remember mine at all much less in that level of detail.
2. I also get to hear about every person, traffic light, construction zone etc that impeded his trip to/from anywhere.

I coulda got it. By the time stamp on your post I was still in the house, I think.
I do that. I love to talk shit to bugs and spiders, or even a stubborn-to-clean pot. “Listen here motherfücker with your ugly mom-having ass… “ — that type of thing.
“Babe, who are you talking to?”
“The stock pot, babe.”
Always wants me to help more (running errands, cleaning, etc.)
I help and do it wrong (not her way) and get told about all my mistakes

Gosh my wife orders the groceries online and I swear sometimes she puts in the order via throwing things at a dart board without actually confirming in any way what we need.
This is clearly one of the better HROT threads in a while, because it humanizes everyone.
If it doesn't get too humid, it's highly likely that after you die, your body will undergo some serious mummification. Any idea where you think she'll place you?
Our kitchen has to be cleaned after every meal so the bugs don't have a reason to come in the house
Then you aren’t doing it right. Been married over 20 years and we still have the passion in our marriage like we are 20/30 something year olds.
She'll get the last laugh and put me in the crawl space with the hookers.
Your friend sounds like a real dick.
