These People Are So Done With Their Boyfriends’ And Husbands’ Incompetence, They Just Had To Shame Their Infuriating Habits Online (40 Posts)
No matter how ‘perfect’ your relationship is, no matter if you have the patience of a literal saint, there will come a moment in time when your partner is going to make you feel utterly exasperated. And it might be down to something small that they do at home. Something that frustrates you beyond all measure.
Our team here at Bored Panda has collected photos from all over the internet of the most hilariously annoying habits that some boyfriends and husbands have. Filling the fridge up with half-eaten jam jars and eating only the tops of muffins is just the tip of the iceberg! Get ready to have a good laugh, scroll down, and upvote your fave pics. Warning, if you like things extremely neat and tidy and everything in its proper place, these pics might make you feel deeply uncomfortable.
We reached out to Samantha Scroggin, the founder of the very witty 'Walking Outside in Slippers' parenting blog, to hear her thoughts on navigating chores and neatness at home, as well as just how important it is to look for compromises. Read on to see what she told us!

Though there are exceptions, broadly speaking, women spend far more time doing housework than men, even in the West. This happens even in egalitarian marriages where women earn as much or even more than their husbands.
“Even as financial contributions have become more equal in marriages, the way couples divide their time between paid work and home life remains unbalanced,” the Pew Research Center notes. “Husbands in egalitarian marriages spend about 3.5 hours more per week on leisure activities than wives do. Wives in these marriages spend roughly 2 hours more per week on caregiving than husbands do and about 2.5 hours more on housework.”

My Husband Has Been Sticking These Rollers In Places I Can't Reach To Annoy Me. It's Working
Tee Rat 2 years ago
My wife told me stories about her ex when he would do stuff like this. She would take all of his jeans and tie knots in the legs and hide loose socks in the pockets. The rest of his socks were tied together in one long chain and stuffed into his dresser. That's why I never messed with her too much.
Bored Panda wanted to learn about tackling the topic of neatness in a marriage. Parenting blogger Samantha, from 'Walking Outside in Slippers,' was kind enough to shine the spotlight on the importance of compromise.
"Neatness is a scalding-hot topic in my happy 14-year marriage. My husband is not very tidy, to say the least, and neither am I. Except next to him I'm the queen of clean," she opened up to us.
"He loves to leave his laundry in messy piles next to his side of the bed. I can't stand it and am always asking him to please clean up after himself. My husband makes a little effort sometimes to try to make me happy, but not nearly enough in my opinion," she said.

My Soon-To-Be Ex-Husband Has Been Taking Advantage Of Local Food Banks "Just Because He Can," He Says But Ends Up Tossing Much Of It Out Because It Goes Bad

censorshipsucks 2 years ago
I forgot once and never did it again. I was so embarrassed and disgusted with myself.
"I've had to accept that if being a bit of a slob is my husband's worst trait, I'm a lucky wife. I think the bigger relationship lesson is about compromise and letting some things go. On both sides."
Meanwhile, we were also curious about what couples can do to divide the household chores up in a fairer way. "My husband is not much for cleaning the house, so I made the decision to hire a house cleaning service that comes every two weeks," the founder of 'Walking Outside in Slippers' told Bored Panda how she solves this issue.
"We both work full-time and are busy with the kids, and I'm not about to bear the brunt of all the cleaning. Fortunately, housecleaning is an expense we can budget for. I know that's not possible for everyone," she said.
"That said, he does do all the cooking in our house while I pick up between housecleaning visits. So once again, compromise is so important in a relationship."

Most of the photos in this list focus on either a chronic lack of neatness or a deep desire to avoid doing household chores. Of course, whether or not a person is tidy or the opposite will depend on their character, how they were raised, and what they value the most in life.
Someone whose parents expected them to pick up after themselves and to look after their siblings, for example, might be more used to doing chores, consistently, and without grumbling. Meanwhile, someone who was coddled their entire life might not actually know how to do basic things like cook for themselves, do the laundry, and keep the entire house in order. They simply don’t have the skills or the habits. Or the truth might be something more grounded: they don't clean because they really hate cleaning. And many of us have at least one chore that we hate (e.g. vacuuming) and some that we don't mind doing (e.g. washing the dishes).

Jesus, it's like living with a massive Ferret. This is ridiculous.
A person’s character, attitude, and values have a lot to do with how they treat their environment, too. Someone who’s completely focused on work or lost in a massive passion project might forget to wash the dishes, take out the trash, or eat. Or they might simply not be aware that their habits are causing a lot of tension at home. Their Trembling Tower of Trash might seem an obvious issue to a bystander, but this isn’t always the case for someone who’s spending their entire time in the same place.
Meanwhile, an individual who knows that it’s important to balance personal goals with family life will carve out the time to help out with mundane tasks—even if they detest doing them. Being in a relationship and raising a family means being part of a team and taking on responsibilities that aren’t always pleasant but help keep everything running (semi) smoothly.

Life is full of these unpleasant grinds, both big and small, and they are unavoidable unless you happen to be extremely well-off and pay people to do, well, absolutely every menial task for you. However, you can look at the situation in a more practical way even without being a millionaire. You could, for instance, hire a cleaning service every few weeks to help out with the housework. You could also hire someone to clean the pool and mow the lawn. Every couple needs to determine for themselves where they might want to save on time and energy, rather than money.

I would choose cocoa and strawberry instead. No but really I wouldn't eat all of it unless discussed from before cause it's an awful feeling to know that you have a treat somewhere and then realize that someone else ate all of it, so guys, don't do it no matter how tempting it might be in the moment. If you however do it ever, replace it or the very least you can do is let the other people know. Try not to make it a habit though
Now here’s the core issue: people aren’t mind-readers. Nor is everyone an expert at picking up subtle hints and reading their partner’s tone and body language. Your partner might think that it’s obvious that they’re mad at you for failing to clear out the garage, again, just like you’ve been promising to do for the past six months. However, to you, things might not be so clear. This is why constant communication is so essential to a healthy and happy relationship.
Ideally, you want to be as non-confrontational as possible while also not ignoring the problem: focus on the issue at hand, don’t be overly aggressive, and try to look for a solution instead of showing off how right you are (and how wrong your partner is). Remember—you’re a team. And you don’t want to end up in a massive argument that spans days or even weeks just because they like to stack the toilet paper up really high in the bathroom.

If this is how he does things as your boyfriend it will not get better if you marry (if you have a desire to get married at all). If he (or you for that matter) can't take notes while you're dating and improve just end the relationship because it won't get better.
According to ‘Glamour,’ couples should avoid blaming their partners. Saying how you feel instead of attacking them won’t get them all defensive. “If you lead with accusation or blame, they won't hear what you want them to hear. They're going to feel at fault and you won't get through,” explains New York-based couples psychotherapist Meg Batterson.

That's fair. I think the gender specificity of the TP issue relates to the fact that women need it every time we use the toilet whereas men do not. So where men might require it once or twice a day, we need the roll 3x more frequently and so we notice its absence more.

He gets to clean up the mess. Do not under any circumstances do it for him.
At the same time, both sides should avoid name-calling and attacking each other’s character. Bringing up old issues or unrelated problems is also going to add fuel to the fire, instead of helping you look for a compromise that’ll actually satisfy both of you. It helps to think about the argument from an outsider's perspective and to try and see the humor in discussing each other's (lack) of neatness.

My husband is one of those who says you have to heat the pan before using it. So he puts the stove on high, and leaves the pan on the hot plate, empty, for about three minutes. And when everything gets seared and stuck to the pan, he blames the pan. Not to mention the habit of "OK, this is done, so I'll take it off the burner... but I'll leave the burner on." We have a gas stove. The number of times I've come in the kitchen to the soft hiss of the gas still going. Thank god only once was there no flame. But I fûckin' railed at him, I was that scared/angry.

I say treat all physical media as special because in the era of streaming/subscription/online everything a physical medium feels special

How My Boyfriend Folds Socks Versus How They Should Be Folded

"Should" is relative. There's no "should be folded this way" law for socks. XD I put all of mine into the drawer - I don't pre-match/fold them at all.
David Wambold 2 years ago
This drives me nuts. People learn to fold clothes in different ways. They are socks. If he is matching them at all you should be happy. Most men will just throw in a drawer. If you can not live with it tell him you don't want him folding your socks. Also, there is not a proper way to fold a towel. There is the way you were brought up folding them, and he may change for you. But he was brought up differently than you.
François Bouzigues 2 years ago
While the folding methold looks better, it wears the elasticity prematurily.

if they're his socks, who cares. if they're yours, I'd say just have each of you fold your own clothes (that's what we do, that way it's folded the way we like it)
