50 Times Men Exposed Gross And Annoying Habits Of Their Wives And GFs
Interview With Expert
When 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.

LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 years ago (edited)
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

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.

My Wife Eats Apples From The Bottom Including The Core
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 years ago
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

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
Lene 2 years ago
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)
