...what behavior/habit surprised or annoyed you the most about them?

She has a tendency to eat something (like a pack of crackers) and leave the wrapper lay on the counter for days.

 

Oh, and when she uses the microwave, she doesn't clear the time on it if she takes whatever she was nuking out early. :banghead:

 

Other than that, can't really think of anything that really gets on my nerves.

She makes me keep my clothes off the floor.

This is an easy one for me. She would never tighten the lids on jars before placing them back in the fridge. I can not tell you how many jars of tarter sauce, pickles, mayonnaise, etc dropped out on the floor when I reached in to grab.

 

And of course who always had to clean up the mess??? yup - me

 

There were many other of course, which may be why we are no divorced, but this one has always been at the top of the list.

Wife cant do dishes to save her life. She does them, they are just never clean, always something left on them. Drives me insane.

Shedding. Not sure how she has any hair on her head.

If we are eating in a restaurant she just reaches over and eats things on my plate. As she walks by my chair while I am watching TV, she grabs my glass of whatever I am drinking, takes a drink and sets it down.. just drives me bonkers.

 

...but then if I say anything, the list of things I do, comes quickly from her lips and is long and relentless...so I just bite my tongue.

She passes gas better than me.

2 things stick out to me. 1 she hates the blinds being open to let sunlight in but loves to turn lights on rather than use the natural lighting. and 2 she is so OCD about how the house looks when I think its clean she continues to follow only to clean what i just did.

My wife has gray hair. It looks like a Yeti was mauled in our bathroom after one session of doing her hair. Like you I have no clue how she isn't bald.

 

My wife also leaves her shoes everywhere. It is strange because we are not dirty people, but right when she walks in the door her shoes go off right where she is.

I'm guilty of that. Funny thing is, I would have never had a clue that I ever even did it until my wife pointed it out to me.

Mrs. S is perfect. She has never had any flaws or bad habits.

I was always taught to leave your dirty dishes in the sink. My wife (and I've since learned her entire family) leaves dirty dishes on the counter next to the sink. Drives me bat-poo bonkers!

LIGHTS, LIGHTS are always on in every ROOM. Did I mention LIGHTS?

I don't have a s/o, but my brother, sisters and mom all leave theirs on the counter. Like you, it drives me up a wall! The other thing that compounds it, is not rinsing them if you aren't cleaning up soon. Like, my mom will leave dishes for DAYS without rinsing them! What the hell? Besides just being generally nasty and making it harder to clean them later, it draws bugs and mice! Who ARE those people?!
