My dog licking his feet, which he is doing the very moment! My husband doesn’t ever hear it, but the sound sends chill up my spine. When I was younger and had a cat, the cat was not allowed to groom while in my room as it bothered me. I guess I just have sensitive ears!
The fact that my husband feels it necessary to spout little facts about whatever he is reading on the iPad…
@CMB625 try talking on the phone with my mother who finds it necessary to read entire recipes that she is looking at while on the phone with my aunt or myself! While we would like to blame this on her age, she has been doing this for years, reading an newspaper article or play by play on what is going on in the news. We have learned to just put the phone down for a couple of minutes and pick it up and say uh huh 
I hate it when people put utensils on the third rack of the dishwasher, and leave a space between them. There are already dividers to give them space, so you can place them side by side without them touching!
That my youngest sings songs quite familiar to me in such strange arrangements and when I ask him how he knows the song at all he looks at me and asks, “Do YOU know this song?!!” The remake - the only version he feels he has ever heard - feels brand new to him, and there he is feeling (equally) impinged upon when I lay claim to it.
@FlyMeToTheMoon : I do love it when my daughter uses her beautiful voice to sing your namesake tune, though. I just want to hold her so close when she’s crooning that tune.
Now that many of us have been home with our loved ones for a few weeks, I bet we have new things that drive us crazy!
I will start, and yes, it is about my husband: We are home all day with next to nothing pressing to be done at any specific time; I am taking a self imposed leave of absence, so not working. My husband travels to clinics for work, so no travel, no work. So with that said, why must he decide to ride his bike or exercise at home around the time I would like to put dinner on the table? I don’t love eating late as it makes it more difficult for me to fall asleep. I get when we eat late as we get home from work late, but we are now home all day; lets eat dinner by 7:30!
Actually, my husband and I are doing really well during this imposed home time. I think we’re both trying hard to not do things to aggravate the other person, and we are giving each other space.
Happy I found this thread! My husband works nights and now he is working nights at home. He is not a breakfast eater or coffee drinker. I, on the other hand, must eat breakfast. However, yesterday he made coffee and an omelet. I was pleased to wake up to this before I started my own work. Today, I found him asleep on the sofa with the tv on after he shut down for the evening. No coffee at all.
So, I thought I was being considerate when I quietly made myself a bowl of cereal and brewed a pot of coffee. I took my breakfast upstairs to my workspace and let him sleep. I turned the tv off and he woke up. He got angry because I had not made him breakfast and I was eating upstairs. Accused me of being selfish and not thinking of him. Anyhow, he made himself a hard-boiled egg, refused the coffee and stomped away to sleep for the day. I hope he sleeps through dinner now.
Does he also pay a visit to the bathroom, just as you say…“dinner is ready!” ?
Mine does - WITHOUT FAIL!!!
So did mine, until I learned to give him the five minute warning, even specifically saying he should visit the bathroom now.
It grates on me when people refer to the floor as the ground. I’ve occasionally heard people refer to the ground as the floor, but it’s usually the other way around. It mostly happens during my exercise classes.
Drives me buggy when a friend suggests we get together (most recently by a video happy hour” type thing, says she is open and insisted that I pick the time, but when I do, she doesn’t like the time I pick! WTH. She does this all the time— with restaurants, times, etc. For pete’s sake, just pick it yourself and tell me what you want!
