Ask him to do something when he is already doing something!

I'm a lot messier than he is. Like leaving my blanket on the couch, leaving clothes on the chest at the foot of the bed, leaving my work papers laying everywhere. He's more tidy so that annoys him to no end.

Also I'm sort of addicted to my computer. I tend to be on it like... all the time. Whereas he is only on his computer if he has an actual reason to be. So sometimes that annoys him if we're watching a show together and he thinks I'm not paying enough attention.

I just kind of toss/cram Tupperware, pots and pans, and baking sheets into their respective cabinets...it drives him nuts and he occasionally pulls everything out and organizes it.

I always trick him into cleaning my bathroom.

It drives DH nuts when I leave cabinet doors open in the kitchen.

I forget to lock the car when I'm done (hope no one I know irl reads this!), I rarely make cups of tea and I over think/try to plan everything out.

@banana: twin!

He says a colloquialism of his mom. She says instead of "scaring the crap out of you" it's "scaring the mess out of you." It's grating especially because I hear it in her voice and she's the one who called me a "bitch" 8 weeks postpartum, so she uses those words freely instead of her Southernisms.

I walk in and drop my stuff everywhere. It always takes me a while to go back and clean up after myself. He's a neat freak and a little mess doesn't really bother me, but if it takes me too long to pick up after myself he says something.

Let people/family "borrow" (aka have) money We aren't well off by any stretch; but if we have it, I would rather help out than save it. Also, not putting things back where they belong. (: oops (:

I'm much messier than DH is; and my clothes are always all over the place, which I know must bother him since his closet looks like a Brooks Brothers store and my closet looks like a hurricane hit it.

I leave dishes in the sink overnight. He hates that!

I worry about everything and am completely indecisive - both traits drive him nuts!

I refuse to kill bugs (but still want them dead) and won't dispose of them once they are dead.

I am super anal retentive and usually refold laundry after he has just folded it all because he doesn't do it the same way I do. Same with some chores. Drives him absolutely insane!

I am ocd about cleaning, not as much as I was before young kids (no time!) but it drives him nuts that I have to have everything at least picked up and the dishes done before I come to bed or leave the house. I also ask too many questions.

Remind him and then complain about reminding him....aka nag.

peel the dry skin off my lips, and scratch, scratch, scratch.

My husband hates it when he asks me "what did you just say" and instead of just repeating what I said louder I say something different. He's always telling me he just couldn't hear me not that he didn't understand and needed me to rephrase

He is definitely tidier than I a, and likes things put back neatly in their place. I'm getting better....

I don't know about crazy, DH's pretty laid back and doesn't get upset much. But he does comment when I don't recycle and when I forget to put the cap on the toothpaste. He makes fun of me when I refuse to eat bread that isn't pre-sliced (that he loves to buy) and I also looooove boxes and acts like it's a treat when I tell him he can throw it away.

So many things!!!!

1. If I left used plates/cups on my desk and not bring it back to the kitchen. He's threatening to take pictures and put it on facebook (ETA: Clarify, it is not THAT bad. Occasional 1 or 2 cups / plates, it's not like I have 12 cups on my desk);

2. If he opens the fridge and it is not organized in a way he'd like (something like this: http://theglamoroushousewife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/organized+fridge+6.1.jpg) - phew. This one causes serious fights for many times.

3. If the kitchen counter is not spotless when he needs to use it (he'd say I didn't keep it clean during the week)

4. If I didn't "make an effort" to "keep it together": eg. Last weekend I put my unfinished coffee on LO's stroller (there is a lame fabric cupholder) while we were paying for parking at the parking lot. IT was a chaos anyway. So when we were ready to go I forgot the cup was just leaning on the stroller, not really inserted into the cupholder. DH pushed the stroller over a bump. The cup flipped and coffee spilled everywhere. My God. That just ruined our weekend completely because he was very upset at me "not making an effort to make sure the cup is in the holder so coffee doesn't spill".

Sometimes I feel like I am married to a version of that guy in "Sleeping With The Enemy". (no no, no that extreme at all. Maybe 1% of it). Grrrr.
