What drives you mad about your partner

I think I do far more that drives her mad, but the need to clean up immediately and on the fly is slightly irksome, she just can't leave things till later. Also, we have a fairly cliche she's too cold/I'm too warm type of dynamic. Of course we compromise by closing the windows and cranking up every heater in the house

I love cooking a meal and cleaning as I go so I have a clean kitchen when it’s done
 
Bit of an ongoing thing at the moment.... my Mrs is complaining recently that she can’t sleep a full night... maybe getting 3 or 4 hours..... anyway, she got up at 7 this morning and went to work 8-4.30, she’s come home and said she’s going to have half an hour nap..... it’s now almost quarter to eight and she’s still in bed .... THIS IS WHY YOU CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT !!!!
 
Exactly 100% of the time when she’s sent me the shop I’ll get everything she wanted, take two steps out the door and my phone will go

‘babe can you get xyz’ as well
And without fail the second run round I’ll get stuck in a queue behind an arl woman trying to use a voucher from ‘99, some fella who wants to price check everything he’s bought, someone who’s forgot something so you’ve gotta wait while he WALKS NOT RUNS to get it and Mrs I want to pay in exact change but where did I put that other 15p
 

The classic - "do you want a bit of toast?"
"Nah"

*Returns with exactly the right amount of toast

"Oh just a half a piece ta"
i swear tonight I was having a maggi bag and couldn’t decide if I wanted Mexican or mixed herb
Asked her what she thought
‘Mexican deffo’
‘Is that so you can steal some of mine’

We‘ve been married so long that things that used to irritate the hell out of me have generally grown into stuff that I don’t even notice anymore or might even miss if he didn’t do them!

However his ability to take a completely clean kitchen and make it resemble the scene after a hurricane/earthquake continues to amaze - it just doesn’t even cross his mind to put a single dish in the empty dishwasher in the pauses whilst waiting for an item to finish ffs! But the meals he cooks are worth the cleanup and since he’ll spontaneously make me breakfast to cheer me up if I’m watching Everton and we are getting thrashed can’t get too mad at him.
