50 Times Men Exposed Gross And Annoying Habits Of Their Wives And GFs
Interview With ExpertWhen we think about stereotypes, girls are supposed to be the clean ones. In our collective minds, women are cleaning and tidying up in the house and urging their significant others to do the same. In reality, we can be as messy and gross as the guys. It's exhausting to keep a pristine home, so we dabble in the occasional weaponized incompetence, too.
We've compiled a selection of the most hilarious, irritating, and vexing pics of boyfriends and husbands coming across the messes that their girlfriends or wives made. Some of them include nasty habits – others are just fun quirks. But the bottom line is this: we can all be messy and weird, and the best way to approach it is probably with a healthy dose of humor.
Bored Panda asked Clinical Psychologist Forrest Talley, Ph.D., to weigh in. Do men and women get annoyed by different things? Does a messy environment infuriate only one gender? And how can two people who live together differentiate between what's a minor inconvenience and what's a deeper issue? Talley kindly agreed to tell us more about these problems.

My Girlfriend Throws Her Daily Contact Lenses Behind The Headboard Of Our Bed
How Your comment is not the most thumbed up, is a tragedy. Lol!
Load More Replies...Gross! This is literally biological waste. In that regard, it's as nasty as throwing a used condom behind the headboard :x
No, no it's not. Not by a long shot. But it does mean that no-one (including OP) ever cleans back there.
Load More Replies...I thought this was a "boyriend" or "roommate" or "brother" last three times I saw this Pic. So... these are all just random blames?
I can assume she doesn't wash her hands before shoving her fingers in her eye
Whether a person is tidy or messy doesn't depend solely on their gender. But it does play a role, Clinical Psychologist Forrest Talley tells Bored Panda.
"Although there is a great deal of variability between individuals (both men and women) regarding what infuriates them about a romantic partner's behavior and how intensely they become annoyed, there appears to be some trends associated with each sex."
He points out a study by ter Laak, Olthof, & Aleva (2003). "[It] suggests that men become more frustrated by behaviors that threaten their autonomy (e.g., jealousy, moodiness in a partner), and women become more annoyed by [their] partner's behaviors that threaten the relationship (e.g., condescension, aggression, and emotional distance/neglect)."
I've Watched My Partner Pick Her Nose While She Drives But Never Made The Connection Of Where She Wipes Her Snot Until I Drove Her Car
Run! Don't hesitate. Just run until you are too tired to go on, then run some more.
Load More Replies...My ex picked her nose and ate it like it was a tasty crumb. Told her that was weird and she never did it in front of me again. I guess it better than a steering wheel or bedroom wall. Exes sister had a booger wall that would make Shrek proud
Tape a baggie of Kleenex to her steering wheel, maybe embarrassing her will stop this putrid habit.
Name and shame. This girly needs to be taught a lesson she missed in elementary.
Load More Replies...This Is How My Wife Leaves A Dish After Taking It Out Of The Oven And Walking Away. We Have Children And A Dog
Maybe the element of danger makes the chicken taste better?
Load More Replies...it isn't even hard to just set it a little further back. there's a point when you have to question whether she's doing it on purpose
That's downright dangerous. Lesson one from parenting class: always put your cooking pots at the back of the stove out of reach and danger of falling at all times.
yes, why was she taking it out of the oven, it's not even close to done
Load More Replies...Clearly the thought of feeding them all on half-done chicken wasn't satisfying enough.
Load More Replies...Yeah, she will. She'll blame the child, or the "untrained" dog, or the husband for not "watching" the children or the dog. I know people like OP's wife. Things are ALWAYS someone else's fault.
Load More Replies...Looks like they gave the whole tray of chicken a sneeze of paprika and called it good.
Knowing there are kids and animals about makes my stomach flip. Someone is going to get hurt. Also she is a dopey mare
Living together can cause friction between two romantic partners. It's natural. But the key to a successful relationship can sometimes be knowing what really matters and what doesn't. If partners can differentiate between minor irritations and real issues, they might enjoy a more successful relationship in the long run. But how can they do that?
Talley says there are three important things to consider:
- Does the annoying behavior occur because your love interest does not care about the impact [it] has on you, or is it due to a personal quirk, an unintentional habit?
- Is your reaction to the behavior reasonable? In other words, is it really a 'you' problem? Let's be honest; all of us are capable of overreacting.
- No matter your answers to Questions One and Two, ask yourself whether the annoying behavior [is] something you can imagine living with long term. For example, if every time he eats something, the love of your life smacks his lips loudly and slurps, can you imagine sitting across the table listening to that for years upon years?
My Wife Putting This Peanut Butter In The Trash Because "It's Empty"
That has nothing to do with not being poor. It's all about not learning about being wasteful. I wasn't raised "poor", but I know to used every ounce.
Load More Replies...This Was My Wife's "Trash Pile" From Destemming The Strawberries
I just use a straw. It gets enough and you rinse off the rest of the leaves.
Load More Replies...Same. Scoop them all up and eat them. Too much good strawberry to waste like that.
Load More Replies...This is horrific. The leaves are in fact quite edible; they are traditional medicine in my culture.
Even so, those aren't leaves, they are halves of strawberries. What a waste. In the UK decent strawberries are usually expensive.
Load More Replies...The Way My Wife Cuts Tomatoes
Looks like she wants wedges, without the core. Have you tried getting her to cut the tomato in half and cut out the core like an apple? It would be much quicker.
PRETTY sure she never did anything herself in her entire life
Load More Replies...The left-over part kind of looks like you could hollow out the core and stuff it with tuna salad and it would be pretty.
Personally, the crusts are my favorite. I wonder if the distaste some have is b/c they don’t spread the condiments out to the edges?
Load More Replies...Now all she has to do is take a knife and cut the rest of the wedges off the tomato.
It's all about choosing your battles, he explains. "If the behavior appears innocent and harms nothing other than your sense of annoyance, try to let it go. No relationship is perfect, and every good relationship is packed to the brim with compromise and forgiveness."
"At the same time," Talley goes on, "know your limits and realize that those things that annoy you today will very likely annoy you five years from now. On balance, consider all the qualities of the person you are with and weigh this against how disruptive the annoying behavior is to your relationship. The results of this comparison will tell you whether to put energy into making changes or simply let it go."
My Wife Doesn't Throw Her Trash Away Before Putting Her Dish In The Sink, So I Often End Up With This
I seriously wonder how some of these people made it to adulthood. :x This is just nasty.
I have an aunt who does this. She always cleans everything but this is unnecessary. Why first wet the trash and then throw it away after it's been such an inconvenience?
I would leave her; she is blatantly disrespecting him right to his face
How My Girlfriend Has Her Car Every Time She Visits
If that's her car, imagine what her home looks like...run.
Load More Replies...My wife's car would be like this, but I clean it out and wash it for her because I love her and because eww!
NOPE! That's disgusting. Break up or you'll be living in a harder house in no time.
You could eat off the floor in my house, I was obsessive about keeping it clean. My car was messy. NOT like this though. My therapist told me there aren't enough hours in the day to obsess about everything.
My Wife Leaves Her Used Floss There For The Next Day
All door handles do anyway, except those made from copper or copper alloys.
Load More Replies...Use a little dish next to the sink. It's gross to reuse flossers, but at least be sanitary
In addition to being inaccurate, stereotypes about which gender is tidier don't benefit either of them. Then one group are slobs, and the other has to face constant pressure to be 'the clean ones.' Is there any evidence to support the claims that either men or women are cleaner?
A 2012 study found that men's office desks tend to be "consistently more contaminated." Other research in the past has also suggested that men wash their hands and brush their teeth less than women do. And that's especially true when it comes to using the bathroom. A 2013 study revealed that only 77% of men whom the researchers observed at the Michigan State University campus washed their hands after using the bathroom.
My Wife Never Fully Screws The Lids Back Onto Anything
ugh. that would drive me bananas. is it so hard to just screw the lid back on???
When I have a massive flair of fibromyalgia in my hands, yes, yes it is very hard to screw the lid back on to anything. Otherwise, no, Fu** them
Load More Replies...So annoying and when a spill happens everyone else gets the blame
This would annoy me so much, I shook a container yesterday where the cap apparently hadn't closed right and had a kitchen/counter full of chocolate milk (just glad I only got a few drops on my clothes)
My husband does this! Want an ibuprofen? Here's 500 of them... if you can find them all. Want a pickle? Here's 10 and a puddle of pickle juice. Want some oxiclean in that laundry? Well, let's just say you're lucky if it's solidified into a solid brick due to exposure to humidity. But the worst is the toothpaste, which gets all hard and gunked up at the end, yet somehow, all over the counter top... I seriously started hiding my own tube. He also leaves doors and drawers open like my own personal poltergeist. Sure do love him though, damn it!
I always wondered why my husband literally puts lids on things so tight I can barely open them, found out his mom did this exact thing while he was growing up so he always spilled stuff. He learned to put the lids on extra tight.
My Wife Puts Her Hairballs Anywhere But The Trash Can
Okay, hear me out: It's actually bad to immediately throw post-shower/post-combing "hairballs" into the trash, as they are wet organic matter. They can molder or rot in the trash can, depending on how long they're left in there/what you pile on top of them. It's better to let the hairball dry on the edge of the shower like above, and then, you know, like a grown-up, THROW THEM AWAY the next day once they're just dry hair piles XD
K but how little do you take out your trash to where this is a problem?
Load More Replies...This is a nasty issue I know I have. I had to purposely put the trash can right next to the shower to avoid this. If the maid moves it I'm screwed. So maybe move the trash cans. As long as one is right next to where the hairballs occur I'm golden.
The Way My Wife Opens Things
What were the numbers for women? Considerably better. 93% of women washed their hands after a visit to the bathroom. Out of those who washed their hands, 50% of men used soap, compared to 78% of women. And here's the bad news for all: only 5% of all people the researchers observed washed their hands long enough to kill all germs.
Another interesting phenomenon comes to light when we look at what cleanliness factors people say are important to them. Interestingly, both men and women (98%) agree that washing their hands after using the toilet is important. But only 84% of men believe this habit is very important, while the percentage for women is much higher – 91%.
How My Wife Puts Away The Cutlery
That's pretty much how I put away the cutlery. When I put the cutlery away, that is. Okay, okay, I'm a bachelor, so what?
I Think I Married A Sociopath. The Way My Wife Uses Her Magnesium Supplements
I've tried to think of a rational (or irrational) reason why she'd do this. I can't come up with one :x My sumatriptan (migraine meds) come in a blister pack like this, and yes, sometimes I'll pop open the bottom one, or the top one, but I still use up the ENTIRE blister pack before I go to work on a NEW blister pack! XD
I’m glad you put this here (and got upvotes) because this was making me think I need to use my imitrex in order. Whew! (And high five, fellow sufferer!) (But hey! We’ve FINALLY got our own meds! It only took forever, but someone realized they can make money off of us and MADE MIGRAINE D***S!!!)
Load More Replies...My doctor wanted to check out the number of pills I had left and I came up with packs like this. When he asked me why I didn't just pick one pack I said I kept them all over for when I needed them: basement, bathroom, purse, etc. I stopped doing that with prescriptions now. I was a bit embarassed.
Why not pop them all out at once and put them in a dedicated containeror something? And put the packaging in the recycle bin?
If you travel to other countries, you need to have any prescription meds in original bottles. Customs can get testy at d***s in unmarked containers.
Load More Replies...I cut the empty parts of blister packs off of that tells anything about how a**l I am concerning this!
I must be Old or something. I take mine for the top and never open another pack till I'm done
Every Time My Girlfriend Gets Drunk
Yep. I put the ice cream away in the cupboard. And by the way...not drunk
Load More Replies...If that's the worst thing she does while drunk, I think it's kind of funny and strangely endearing.
Count your blessings. Mine eats the entire thing and leaves the wrapper in the fridge.
This is any gender. Use a knife and paper towel and bring enough to share
Nothing wrong with this drunk or sober. She's testing it for you to make sure it's not poisoned. This is what i tell my husband
One can never be too safe, hence why there are so many poison inspections in our home!
Load More Replies...Omfg, one of my homeboys used to live with me, and every time he'd get blackout drunk he would do stuff like this. He does not like cheddar cheese or peanut butter, but one night he ate an entire block of cheese with an entire jar of peanut butter. Another time, he ate my leftover Thai food. He is absolutely not a spicy food person at all. I very much am. When he sobered up, he was very unhappy.
The same trend follows throughout the rest of the poll. More women than men believe that changing undergarments and clothes and washing hands after using public transportation are crucial behaviors. The same goes for habits like sanitizing mobile devices, living spaces, and work spaces: only about a third of men find these practices to be important.
However, just because women say that cleaner spaces and personal hygiene matter to them greatly doesn't mean that they are, in fact, tidier or that they have better personal hygiene.
Susan Michie, health psychology professor and director of the Centre for Behavior Change at the Department of Clinical, Educational, and Health Psychology at University College London, believes that such behaviors are socially programmed, not genetic. "Women are more focused on care than men – childcare, household care, personal care," she explained.
My Wife Insists This Is Normal
My wife and I do this. It lets the shell dry, so you can grind them up more easily for composting. There has NEVER been a smell. I know many others that do this. Others who like to garden and aren’t controlled by an irrational ick factor.
Load More Replies...I do this, once the carton is nothing but the shells then it's dumped into the composting bucket.
Fair enough. But why keep the shells till then? Why not throw them into the compost right away? 🤔
Load More Replies...Yeah I think she wants to plant some eggs. It's more natural that way
Load More Replies...My mom does this. I compost all mine in the table composter or toss them to the chickens and pigs. My dog is weird. He loves eggs and gets one every day but won't eat the shell and the pig waits for him to finish so he can get it
My mom does this, because when the shells are dry, she uses them as fertilizer for her garden.
My mom did this. I would often throw them out when I got home from school.
I wonder if it’s a generational thing. My mom does this too
Load More Replies...My Lunatic Wife Cuts Bananas In Half And Just Leaves The Top
A banana cut like that will form a skin over the cut area that can be peeled off with the peel when you go to eat it. So not as gross or wasteful as it looks if she's eating then later
But why start a second banana instead of finishing the last half of the first one?
Load More Replies...My Girlfriend's Kitchen, Everyone
I don't need ketchup on everything, I can stop eating it anytime I want. But I do need to buy some at the store this Thursday , I'm down to half a case and I don't want to run out by the weekend.
Load More Replies...Either poor or OCD parents. It took me a while to break the "never throw it out" habit.
My autistic daughter is like this with shampoo and body wash.
Load More Replies...The researcher who conducted the Michigan State University campus study, Carl Borchgrevink, suggested that men washed their hands less because they believe fearing germs is emasculating. "We did talk to some of [the men] and ask, 'Why didn't [you] wash your hands?' And they would look at us indignantly and say, 'I'm clean, I don't need to wash my hands.' They had a sense of invincibility."
Check Before Buying Groceries
My wife never checks if we have something or not before going to the grocery store or, even worse, ordering online. Case in point: about 7 cream cheeses. Varieties are nice, but we'll never use them up without bagels 3 meals a day. It's not really a money thing, but I just hate wasting food.
It does? The texture doesn’t change when it defrosts? If that’s the case, this post was really useful for lots of us who had NO idea! Thanks, bud! 💋
Load More Replies...I have this problem. With a few limited ingredients. For some reason, I permanently think I'm out of basil and oregano. There are a few others. Luckily they're almost all shelf stable.
My biggest one is butter. Sometimes if I can't find what I want in the shop and need to quickly replan the weeks food I assume I need butter. I hardly ever cook with butter. I have things in the freezer I only made to justify why I bought butter again.
Load More Replies...Stroganoff, carrot cake, pimento loaf, and a host of things that can use it up. Even macaroni and cheese is tasty with cream cheese. Roasted potatoes and broccoli with cream cheese. Only limited by your imagination and palette
Maybe not so much that strawberry stuff she seems to have collected three containers of...
Load More Replies...I knew someone that bought creamed corn every time they went to the store..like EVERY TIME - need some milk? a can of creamed corn too?! they had about 40 cans in the pantry!
Ok, don't encourage her butttt....have you tried the honey almond flavor
Set a strict food budget or don't allow her to go grocery shopping. I have found by shopping online and ordering, I spend less, don't bring home junk food, and I don't end up with multiple containers of the same thing.
My Wife Doesn't Get All The Ice Out Of One Tray Before Using Another
Just buy yourself a fridge-freezer that makes ice-cubes and the problem is solved.
Not really. You do have to change that filter every so often don't you? Most Likely they won't do that either.
Load More Replies...Before we had a fridge with an ice maker, I had to use trays. BUT - I would empty the frozen ice cubes into a large Ziploc and refill the trays. This level of pure laziness would be a deal breaker, cause WTF else is she lacking in?
She didn't want the other ice cubes to feel all alone. What a beautiful spirit. She's a keeper!
This Represents A Single Week Of Mugs And Glasses That My Wife Leaves In Our Bathroom. I Clean All Of These Every Week, And They Are Back The Next. Anyone Else Feel My Pain?
Stop cleaning them, let them build up. Would be an interesting experiment to see how far she is willing to go before she thinks it's too much.
I suspect you'd run out of cups and glasses first, and then she'd simply take the closest and wash it out for use while leaving all the others still there.
Load More Replies...Only have two mugs. One for you, one for her. If she leaves it in the bathroom, she doesn't get coffee...
This hits on one of my other peeves... people who don't finish their beverage. If you don't want that much coffee, then f****n make yourself a smaller one.
You are able to make the exact amount of beverage you want every time? If you are, understand that you're the weird one, not the people with leftover beverage.
Load More Replies...Men and women also perceive their messy surroundings differently. In a 2012 UCLA study, mothers and fathers did video tours of their homes with researchers who observed their levels of the stress hormone cortisol. They found that the mothers felt more stressed in cluttered environments, and the fathers remained psychologically unaffected.
My Wife Only Takes A Few Bites Of An Apple And "Saves The Rest For Later"
ugh. the one on the right seems like it's been there for a while. and why can't she just eat the whole thing? or if she, for some reason, doesn't really like eating the apple off the core, she could just cut it into slices
And bag or box the remains that she doesn't eat! :(
Load More Replies...Yet she doesn't finish the one she started? So much for eating it later.
She gets to be wasteful while feeling like she's not being wasteful. This is what denial looks like.
Why not keep a bowl of lemon water and she can set it in there to stay fresh or a quick dip and it will stay fresh. Bigger crime is that fancy overpriced water
My Girlfriend Only Eats The First Bite Of Cookies Because "It's The Best Bite"
there's absolutely something wrong with her. the cookie all tastes the same anyway, first bite or not
That would also be my take. This seems a bit more of an odd attitude of not caring about the fact that others are left with leftovers, or even a weird powerplay?
Load More Replies...This is akin to licking the cookies so your sibling won't be able to have one. It's immature, it's selfish, it's wasteful, and she can rationalize all she wants but...seriously?! No one agrees that this is normal
My Wife Spits Her Seed Shells Into The Door Handle Of Our Car
I used to do that on road trips. Then I started taking skittles instead. Now I’m a 70 year old Skittles addict
All I can think is “At least they’re not between the seats and on the floor. ◀️ That’s me: always looking for the bright side.
I do moving at times here in Canada and we had to move a house that was so disgusting and the floor in one room had just piles of sunflower seeds.
I know this is gross, but she could spit the shells on the floor or other area of the car. That would be way more gross.
The mothers used words like "mess," "not fun," and "very chaotic" when describing their homes. The fathers, on the other hand, didn't mention the messy environments at all. "Fathers in their home tours would walk in the same rooms their wives had come through and often made no mention whatsoever of the messiness and were unaffected psychologically," UCLA professor of anthropology, Jeanne Arnold, said.
But that doesn't mean that men don't notice the mess. In 2019, researchers showed participants photographs of messy rooms. They found that "men and women respondents do not differ in their perceptions of how messy a room is or how urgent it is to clean it up."
Wife Didn't Want Anything From The Burger King, So I Got Home, Went To The Bathroom, And Came Back To This
There is a burger restaurant at my city with a "my girlfriend is not hungry" extra package. They give you an extra patty in the burger plus a larger order of fries or 5 more onion rings. Genius.
Ohh this is OK in my opinion, its even cute. I'm "sharing is caring" person.
She was looking out for him and made sure it was OK to eat!
Load More Replies...Me and a former girlfriend had a "war" going on, very friendly. If you left a sandwich or burger or snack or something and went away, you'd get back and "someoone" hade taken abite out of it. It almost escalated to violence the time I overstepped and took TWO bites out of her sandwich! I made her a new one.
I will never understand why you would say 'I'm not hungry and then still eat someone else's food without their consent. Don't care if you're my girlfriend, friend, husband, spouse, meaningful other, partner or buddy: it's not an excuse to be rude and disrespectful.
For me this is also unacceptable. My husband had a cousin who said no to dessert but always took a bit of everyone's plate. Nope. Then we asked why she would not buy her own. Not hungry for a whole plate. Well, we never went out with them again. And BTW, the husband did not like at all that she took a piece of his dessert either but she just laughed.
Load More Replies...That is not even a "bite" it's a nibble. When my husband takes a bite, 1/3 of the sandwich is gone.
That's my complaint with my fiance! (My loving, amused complaint.) If we're both eating something, he has gargantuan bites and I have little ones and our halvsies are now 1/4 and 3/4.

My Partner Put My Laptop In The Freezer Cause It Was Overheating
No minutes. It condenses that cold air into water inside the laptop
Load More Replies...Look it doesn't matter if you place in the freezer or even in the fridge for even a minute. The temperature difference is not good, would cause condense which means WATER which should not get into the components of your laptop. Any piece of technology in a huge difference of temperature is not ok. Take it slowly. So in your situation just shut the lid of the laptop, unplug it and wait 5 minutes. Don't even do something like this, it's really stupid and bad
Exactly, water (condensation) and electronics are a recipe for disaster. Get a laptop cooling pad...it holds laptop at a slight angle and has fans underneath to cool it.
Load More Replies...I have done this with my PlayStation 4. But it was mine to it, I wouldn’t do it to somebody else’s PlayStation.
You might want to put that in some rice for a couple days before turning it on.
However, the respondents did care about to whom the messy room belonged. Upon hearing that a woman lives in the clean room, the participants judged it as less clean than when a man lived there.
They also thought that guests would judge the woman more and that she would feel uncomfortable having people over. And it was here that the main difference presented itself: we hold women to a higher standard of cleanliness than men.
How My Wife Loads The Dishwasher
she either genuinely doesn't know how, or it's weaponized incompetence. and they should have wildly different effects on how he should react.
Teach her. My wife grew up without a dishwasher, so she just loaded them without much thought as to how the jets would actually reach something to clean it. She even loaded them completely dirty with stuff dried/stuck on, because she believed the commercials. She just thought we had a bad dishwasher.
Load More Replies...My Wife Never Finishes A Bottle Of Shampoo Or Body Wash Before Buying A New Kind And Leaving The Old Ones
New game of positions with shampoo and body wash. Open each bottle and put the last of every other bottle in there
Load More Replies...Depending on the weather, or a variety of other factors, I choose different things for my hair. So I have a variety in the shower.
But do you have two of each? Because that's that photo
Load More Replies...A friend of mine was once throwing away about 15 bottles of shampoo and conditioner. She had tried various shampoos for her daughter's thick curly hair and none of them had worked. I took all of the leftover bottles. except for a very specific kind I use sometimes, I haven't bought any for like 3 years
It took some trial and error to find a hair routine that worked on my curly hair. Nothing was thrown. The shampoos were used as body wash and the conditioners doubled as body scrub once mixed with sugar (btw, l still use a super cheap conditioner mixed with sugar as body scrub)
Load More Replies...Oh no. Here I am, judging everybody...till now. I'm not at this insane level, but I do that too! But I swear I have reasons! I have a tactic that clearly doesn't work, but I still believe in it!
This might seem a lot, but it's not actually disorganised. If you look, you can see it is layed out for different types of hair washing. Like mild ones, colour protection ones, nice smelling ones, deeper cleaning ones. I don't see the problem in having variety.
I can't stand looking at this. Its just too much stuff. I'd crack up
The Way That My Girlfriend Eats A Pizza
To be honest, in Naples they have a "pizza al portafoglio", which is a pizza folded twice (forming a triangle) so you can eat it standing and I think she would love it.
Load More Replies...My mum uses a knife and fork to eat pizza and burgers and sometimes sandwiches. IT JUST ISNT THE WAY!!
It's also worth mentioning that the conclusions of the study played into the stereotype that men are lazy slobs. Respondents said that if the messy room belonged to a man, he was less responsible and hardworking. Yet participants didn't think that visitors would judge the man. "There's no expected social consequence to that," one of the researchers, Sarah Thébaud, said. "It's that 'Boys will be boys' thing."
How My Girlfriend Doesn't Zip The Resealable Bag Closed And Puts The Bag Upside Down
It’s called a zip lock bag for a reason, you’re meant to zip it so it’s locked

Is it wrong that I would still eat the cheese? I mean, cheese is cheese....
The state of that fridge! What's going on here. No organisation at all
My Wife Leaves The Empty Candy Wrappers In The Bowl Of Candy As She Eats Them
If she did that here in England, you are allowed to send her to the Tower of London, true story
I do this, but only to my specific candy that I don't share. It's great because you can either chuck the whole thing or dump it
Annoying but reasonable if there is no bin close by and it is the choice between the table/floor or the container, and if the culprit then removes the empty wrappers when they get up.
Things My Wife Leaves In The Fridge
Cause it's 7 pieces of Pasta, she could have eaten that.
Load More Replies...that way she doesn't have to wash them. Male or Female I would not put up with it
She probably also leaves a drop of milk in the carton, or just one egg so she doesn't have to buy the whole thing.
Why not just feed the last bite to the dog? (assuming you have a dog)
This Is What My Wife Does To Muffins
Ha, there was an almost identical looking picture last week (?) from a woman complaining about her husband/boyfriend doing this. Maybe they should exchange partners.
That what I was thinking. And not just this one. I am sure I saw a lot of these pictures before in a Thread with the genders reversed.
Load More Replies...I love the tops of muffins, that's why I turn them upside down and eat the bottom first, save the yummy baked edges for last.
This Is How My Wife Deals With Avocados

Wife Asked Me To Put Some Gas In Her Car Before She Drives To Work Tomorrow
Let her run out of gas (with an emergency can in the trunk). My husband used to do this constantly, it sure broke his habit.
I would print out a map of her route to work with all the gas stations circled.
Tell her NO! Just tell her she ran the vehicle down to a point it probably want make it to the station so she is responsible to get it there. An that she isn't to call you when she runs out of gas. Of course what wil happen is she will play the "Victim" that you are the bad guy and she is standard and needs someone other than you to come save her(because none of this is "her fault".) We both know that will be some sleaze ex BF or dude that wants to Bang her.
"It's Always So Cold In Our House. Our Furnace Sucks." -Wife In January 2020 When It's -32°C
He's likely to burn your house down some day. Always leave heat vents uncovered and uncrowdeded!
if you didn't grow up w/ floor vents I can kind of understand ...but c'mon!!
Ohio... Blizzards..old house with furnace. our floor vents were a bit bigger but house was designed to handle the cold. We used vents but only for our boots or many gloves. We had to constantly monitor them. And we could only use the same two vents. Mostly boots n gloves stayed by the doors with coats. No furniture near or on vents ever.
My Girlfriend Leaves The Bath Tub Running Slightly 24/7, 365 Because Her Cat Likes To Stick His Paws In It
Our cats also like doing this, but we just bought a cat fountain - the water still needs to be replaced when cleaning, but I think it's less waste than leaving a tap running
I did this for years and when my cat passed away I didn’t notice a change in my water bill. Guess it depends where you live though but water is generally cheap compared to other utilities.
Load More Replies...I only ever do this so the pipes don't freeze in the winter. Otherwise it seems like a waste

As a kid my neighbors house caught fire. They suspect it was from not cleaning the dryer vent. This isn't just lazy but dangerous.
So dangerous! She going to burn down the house. Plus The dryer doesn't work well if you leave the trap full of junk.
Even though I do laundry I am always surprised when I check the lint trap and it's clean because before filling dryer I always empty it before I pull out dried clothes
My Wife Kept Threatening To Throw Away My Favorite Pair Of Yard Work Shorts. Today I Found Them Like This
Run. Destroying your SO property is one of the first signs of domestic violence.
I don't understand why anyone would think this is okay. Your partner likes something and because you don't you destroy it. The mind boggles as to why she thought she had the right.
Exactly! My husband has a HUGE cardboard cut out from Kingdom of Hearts, and I don't really like it, but I would NEVER destroy it. Hell, it's even on display in our living room as much as i dislike the thing. But this is because I love and respect my husband and it is his house as well. People that destroy their SO's property have no respect for them.

My Wife Just Throws Her Kitchen Scraps In The Sink Instead Of The Trash Can Because "The Disposal Can Handle It." The Sink Disposal Is Not A Trash Can, Right?
Garbage disposals are one of the worst things for your plumbing. Organic material can collect and calcify inside your waste pipes, creating clogs that are hard to clear.
not if you run enough water through while it is running. I have been using mine for nearly 28 years and no problems with the drains, except the first week. Discovered they put a connection on wrong and the potato skins ( neighbour said they were ground up really well) got caught somehow and the water ran over them instead of pushing them. Developer accused me of putting chicken bones down the drain. He said they were sitting in there whole.
Load More Replies...You need to get her a "trash bowl." Its basically just a larger bowl (mine got a cute little pattern on it). I saw this on a cooking show and will never go without!
My grandma used one of those old margarine tubs with a lid for that. After cooking she'd throw the scraps outside into a wooded area behind her house.
Load More Replies...There are enzyme treatments you can put down the drain for that. But really, what I see in that sink - bread, noodles and veggie scraps - are all fine for the garbage disposal and exactly what it's for.
Load More Replies...If you have a disposer everything there should go down it. At least at my house it does, I do try not to run it every time I put something in it.
Depends if you have your own septic or city septic. Food stuff is not good for your own septic, particularly, whether you have a disposal or not! You want as little food stuff going into the septic at home!
Indeed, in Europe there is no shredder beneath the sink. No food waste down the drain if it can be prevented. (So no oils either).

You have got to put a stop to this right now! If you don't, it will lead to sloppy, lazy and wasteful food habits on your children's part.

The New Jar Of Nutella My Girlfriend Tried To Heat In The Microwave

We've all put jars in the microwave? I don't think so.
Load More Replies...This isn't a gross or annoying habit. It's a moment of bad judgment and/or not knowing how appliances work, which might or might not be a longer-term issue.
I think she succeeded in heating it. But "well done" is not how most people like their Nutella.
Ana again, comments full of people, who never did a mistake and brag about it (I bet they did many, just act like didn't cause fragile ego). Do we know the true story behind this? Sometimes one's distracted and might put it on for too long, then leave and come back to a disaster. It happens and one must learn from it to prevent doing it again. If they don't, then it's a problem.
My Partner Insists That The Scrub Mommy Is A Washcloth, And This Is How She Stores It

Load More Replies...This pic reminds me about a new pair of black pants I wore for only 10 minutes. I put them on, went downstairs, and sat on the couch. When I looked down to put my shoes on, I saw they were covered in lint, thread, fuzz, and cat hair. It was like I had been rolling around on the carpet! That fabric seemed to attract all kinds of stuff in no time. After that, I made a point to steer clear of that sort of cotton fabric. As far as I know it has no special name, but I can now identify it by its texture.
If she was lazy she wouldn’t have washed his jeans for him. Looks like it was just an accident. I wouldn’t have thought a blanket could leave this much fuzz on jeans. I wash my jeans with towels all the time without issue.

My Girlfriend Rips My Socks That Have Visible Holes In Them To Force Me To Buy New Ones
Yeah, this one is fair. Though it would be easier to just toss them out; ripping them is making a point.
No, it's NOT "fair". They aren't HER POSSESSIONS. She has zero right to destroy HIS clothing OR throw it out. If he said he cut up her bras or her shirts into pieces once they had a hole in them, people would crucify him. The socks are OP's possessions, NOT his girlfriend's. This is absolutely insane behavior. Would you say it's fair if she destroys his shoes once they have a stain on them? Would you say it's fair if she trashes his car once it has a few dings or loses a bumper? As an aside, no one SEES OP's socks except him and his gf. Who the eff cares if he wants to wear/keep socks with a few holes?

My Wife Eats Apples From The Bottom Including The Core
I... I mean... I know it takes a LOT of apple seeds to actually be toxic/kill a person (and one must crush them; an uncrushed apple seed will just pass through the digestion system whole due to its testa/seed coat) but STILL. We've all heard enough stories about how apple seeds contain cyanide as kids; I wouldn't be able to make myself eat a whole apple seed even though I know logically ONE seed won't kill me XD
As a kid, I used to pluck the seeds from apple core, bite off the shell (like you would do with sunflower seeds) and eat the core. I really liked the taste, reminded me of almonds. I learned they are poisonous years later. More luck than brain, as my Grandma used to say!

Girlfriend Will Put Trash On The Counter By The Trash Can Because She Thinks That The Trash Is Too Gross To Touch, Even Though We Have An Automatic Lid
This amuses me, actually. When does food become trash? When it is just the leftovers on your plate? When you take it to the kitchen counter by the sink? When you rinse it off into the sink? When it goes in the trash can? At what point exactly does it go from being yummy food to "uck, no. That's just gross"-trash? (It is something I think about a lot. Some foods I have no problems with until they hit the bag in the bin. Other foods I find gross from the point I feel full and have the leftovers on the plate)
So which foods do you class as gross when full and others not so much? Mine is anything wet I can't handle. I also can't stand over the bin too long so anything that has too much on it to scrape in the bin
Load More Replies...My family seems to have a complete inability to flatten cartons, boxes etc. Trash fills up almost daily because of it
