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

Hey now, she gets 37 seconds of A+++ effort and I do not give her the Kirk Ferentz offensive attack…I keep her guessing each time. The trick is I tell Mrs. Dragon (no pics) that time is relative.
But does he wake up pissed at you because you did something awful in his dream? Because that's the kind of fun stuff my husband gets to deal with. I used to have these crazy vivid dreams when I was pregnant where he was cheating and I'd wake up so pissed I could hardly look at him. LOL!
I've borne the brunt of those attacks. At 3 am, it's like trying to reason with a toddler.
So everyone's wife does this? Good to know.
"You were cheating on me again."
I was? Was she hot? Tell me more, please go into details.
"I don't remember much, just that it was some whore from your job."
Hmmmm...there are a few attractive ones...maybe I can tell you who I think it would be and what we would have done and you let me know if it sounds right...
"You're not helping!"
I wasn't really trying.
Thinking that a guy who treats his wife so dismissively is a "good dude" says a lot about you.
TBW is ALWAYS cold...Everytime I walk by the thermostat its turned up a couple degrees. Summer time it's set at 72, our basement is always 5 degrees colder and thats where we spend the most time. She comes down wearing a sweatshirt.
In the winter time its 73 degrees and the heat rises to our bedroom but she has another separate heater..
In the car she hates moving air, She closes all the vents and won't let me open the window.
She will ask (TELL) me to do something, and then watch me do it and criticize me for how I'm doing it.
She is ALWAYS ALWAYS Late for everything.
She never uses the got dam windshield wipers. I get in her car and you can barely see out the windshield.
When she does something I don't like and then I do it back to her later and remind her when she did it to me she calls me a "Revenge addict" Whatever the hell that is.
Other than that she's good $hit. She puts up with me so she gets a nod for that one.

I will preface this by saying that her list would be WAY worse than mine, but here are few:
- Never uses cruise control
- Follows other cars too closely
- Puts things away in random spots, most times someplace I'd never think of on my own
She watches far too much trashy reality tv/murder porn/Hallmark movies.
Doesn't she know I wanna watch some MACtion?

My wife does the same thing to me! I always know too because she won't speak to me and then after awhile she starts in on how I was cheating on her in her dream.
It's funny to go through it and see who responds, who doesn't, who isn't lurking with a few likes, and whose algorithm doesn't pick up on this thread at all.
This is my wife too. We have pretty similar tastes in movies but when it comes to TV shows, nope. All trash reality and Hallmark. Which reminds me how brutal TV watching in our house will be in about three weeks.
It's already started around here. She's now watching the crap that she dvr'd during their "Christmas in July".
I have stuff on the DVR and it is 24/7 on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. Lifetime starts 12/1 and there is now apparently a new channel that is stealing the Hallmark stars so I will have to check them out soon. You know my husband is loving his life. LOL!
Two things.
Dinner, will never make a decision on what to make and will ask me what I want, only to tell me she doesn't want my first 4 suggestions. Going to a restaurant the exact same thing. Won't make a decision but turns down the first 4 I recommend going to. We will drive around for 20 minutes if I don't get her to agree to one before leaving home.
Money, she must spend every penny she has in her account every week. She knows she's terrible at it. Years ago we went to a budget where she gets an allowance every week because she can't control herself at by pictures, rugs, vases, you name it with home decor and she's all over it. Fvcking HGTV.

To preface we have been married 51 yrs now and the first 2 yrs was while I was in the military away from her and she stayed true to me during that time.
She worked in a engineering dept many years and has a mind geared that way. Not a degree mind you but thinks alot like a engineer when doing things. Hence we do not work well together on projects. I most of the time when building things wing it. She on the other hand wants to know what the plan is. I know many will say to just not work with her but she enjoys hands on projects. Not afraid of work. When I putz in the garage she always comes to see what I'm doing.
She leaves cabinet doors/drawers just open instead of fully closing them. Comes in the house and piles everything on the table with clutter. Gets things out but never returns them to the proper storage place. My tools specially.
She came from a broken family with no money so buys most her clothes from Goodwill instead of new.
BUT like I said, 51 years of loving each other through thick & thin.

Kudos to you. I won't make 51 years due to age of marriage. My wife can annoy me with pet peeves until I die as long as she can tolerate mine.
Thanks for reminding me that being single kicks ass!
I can’t think of anything. Marrying me is the only flaw I can produce. My wife is amazing.
Two weeks ago as I went through the mail there was an envelope from the bank, with the familiar feel of a debit card in it. The wife was right next to me and I handed it to her and said, "This feels like a new debit card". She took it from me, didn't say anything, and dropped it on the counter. Yesterday we were buying something at Coral Ridge, and the clerk told her that her debit card had been declined. She looks at it and sees it has been expired. Foolishly I remind her that I'd handed her a new card in the kitchen You'd think that would have gotten me a thank you, or a kind acknowledgment. Nope, just five minutes of her telling me I hadn't done that. Then, when we got home, and I showed her the envelope in the pile where she'd dropped it two weeks ago she again told me I'd never told her about the envelope.

What's her handle? Does she lurk and read your posts?
I never thought about it, and I have no worries whatsoever as the better part of me knows I waste time on here.....but can you imagine crazy cray cray spouse of HROT member getting on here under there spouses' account. It would be so fun.
After all these years I can’t believe I didn’t spit out the only acceptable response. “You need to call the bank right away. They forgot to mail you a new card”.
I assume you were able to buy back the knife after the divorce.
Was reminded of this thread last night. When I shopped for food for the week one of the planned meals was alfredo. I got home tonight to find a red sauce simmering on the stove. I asked why the meal change and the wife told me we were out of the good Parmigiano Reggiano. I told her we had another giant wedge in the garage fridge. She said she knew that, but when she looked at it.......it was past it's best use date.
A wedge of aged (36 mo) italian Parmigiano Reggiano that is still vacuum sealed....and she wouldn't use it because of a sticker that some grocery store clerk was forced to put on it to comply with FDA regs.
I'm just glad she didn't throw it away like she has with other stuff that's "expired."

Yeah, that is one for me as well. She won't drink a drop of milk past the expiration date. Sour cream with an expiration date of 11/16, but we are having tacos on 11/17 - she's like I'm not eating that rotten shit.
