This is a thread where we can rant about those little foibles in our partner, that really irk us.

Top of my list. When I make a cup of tea, I ask my wife if she wants one, while I'm filling the kettle. She takes so long to answer that I've put the kettle to boil. If she's said yes, I have to take the kettle back to the sink and fill it more.

Aghhhhhhhhhh!

Whenever I ask my SO to pick up his clothes in the bathroom, he does. But they still don't always make it to the hamper. 

He is lucky he is cute.

I never did mind about the little things...

@spacial- its when you ask your partner if she wants a drink, she says no so you make yourself one, then five minutes later she decides she will have one

Absolutely. Haha

Or 'sweetheart i'm putting some white washing in, have you got anything that needs doing?'
'No' she shouts down then arrives with her arms full of white stuff as the washing machine starts its cycle

When I ask her opinion on something and she answers with a yes or no. I didn't ask if you want it or not, I asked what you thought! D:

When we're having an argument (not serious) about something and in the middle of it she does a total u turn on her stance after shes been so vehemently defending her position, but she does it without even acknowledging that shes changed her stance

When we are getting ready to go somewhere and I am rushing about to finish doing the million things that have to be done before we leave and he just sits there, still in his PJs, because it (and I quote) "Only takes me two minutes to get ready".

1) I'm jealous because I never get ready that quickly;
2) Then you ought to finish doing some of these things so that we have a prayer of being on time. 

I'm the other way- i take two minutes to get ready then have to wait for her

Scraping excess margarine/butter back into the tub after it's been on his toast,

Our bath doubles as a clothes hamper

THAT. And getting pieces of whatever he is putting said butter/sour cream/something else in a tub in the tub so that it festers. YUCK!

It may well be!

Theres nothing wrong with jam in the butter 

Waiting until I've had to wear the same three pairs of socks seven times to do the laundry. I can't carry the laundry up and down the narrow stairway to the washer so I have to nag her to do it. I'm still waiting for her to get to my undershirts, she started 'doing laundry' three days ago >.<

EXACTLY. It's effing GROSS - as well as unhygienic!

Oh, and my other pet hate; my fiancé using my eyeliner. One of the few drawbacks of being in a relationship with a Goth - sometimes he wears more makeup than me

As if...I'd b*tch about the same thing.  I also don't like it when a person uses the same knife for their peanut butter and their jelly while making a sandwich.  I do not like peanut butter in my jelly or vice-versa.  D:<

~*~But I have no room to talk, I'm currently single.  It's just a pet-peeve that has stayed with me through the years, through exes and family alike.~*~

There is nothing wrong with being a peanut butter and jelly purist.
