She plays hide-and-seek with the kids' toothbrushes, so every time I go to brush their teeth, I have to spend 5-10 minutes searching around. But that's it after 10+ years of marriage; I can live with it 
.
.
We've known each other long enough to let each other know what bothers us and we each try to stop doing it. The only thing I can really remember was her excessive use of the word 'like'. She's cut it down and now I hardly notice when she does use it.
Let me see here... she's so cute, but here ya go.
burps out loud or farts often (but then again so do i)
snores (so do i)
yells at me for being on the computer too long
when she's around her family, she tends to ignore me and won't act affectionate
i get the 2nd degree if I want to go out w/ friends on weekends (she doesn't know anyone in the area yet and wants attention)

#1 SHE'S A BLANKET RANKER, end up freezing my conjones off every night.
#2 Constantly locking the doors, I walk outside with the trash, try to come back in and the fffing door is locked.
#3 I'm the cook of the family, whilst cooking, she starts taking the cookware I'm using and either throws them in the dishwasher or (if they are still clean) puts them back in thier respective storage place(s), LEAVE THEM ALONE, I"M STILL USING THEM.
Other than that, we are good

But in all seriousness, yes, there are a number of things that drive me crazy.
First and foremost, she's a slob. I don't mean "doesn't put her dishes away" slob; no, I mean "doesn't throw her tampons in the trash" slob. Her car is an absolute pig sty, and she absolutely will not clean up after herself. To make a mild point: she'll get a box of cereal from the pantry. She has to walk by the pantry again to get to the kitchen table to eat said cereal. Do you think she'd take this opportunity to put the cereal box back? No. Multiply that by a thousand lazy ass actions per day, and you have my house. Her car has food from who knows when, and god forbid you should have to ride in her car, for it will take her 10 minutes just to blast you a space in which you can sit (though not without getting yourself covered in last month's spaghetti, and no, I don't know how it found its way to the vehicle). I have two children, ages 3 and 4, and I sh*t you not when I say that I spend significantly more time picking up after her than I do the two kids collectively.
Taking a little pride in one's living space or having an appreciation for general hygiene is just not how she was raised. The only home I've seen worse than ours is her mother's. I wouldn't go into that place without a HAZMAT suit and a machete.
What's just as frustrating is how much her family dotes all over her and her mother and "how much they get done in a day". WTF? Are you people fscking sane? My wife takes the kids to daycare and picks them up after work. The place is 5 minutes from her work (by her own choosing). BUT, she only works 37.5 hours a week, so it's a wash. I'd say she cooks, but by "cooking" I mean "makes turkey sandwiches twice a week and orders take out five times a week". I, on the other hand, work 45 - 50 hours per week, do the dishes, run 5 miles a day, do my laundry (if she does her laundry twice a month, I'm extremely fortunate), do the other various house chores, etc.
Lately she's been talking about going back to school and I'm feeling rather resentful about the idea. It's like, "you don't pull your fscking weight around here NOW, when you have nothing to fscking do". I don't feel like making that sacrifice, financially or otherwise. I have about $110,000 in liquid assets, and she expects us to pay for her education with that. Ohio is not a community property state, and I feel like that $110,000 is my ticket out of this hole if I ever get desperate enough. It's my own personal safety net.

Man the number of "Yeah Rosy Palm and her five sisters get on my nerves a lot LOL GEDDIT I DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND" posts are flippin' annoying. We don't care if you don't have a girlfriend because you're not the only one. No need to take every opportunity to point it out and whine about it. God. I see it so much in threads that have anything to do with SOs.
My ex- used to always pick at my back while I was lying in bed, was kinda weird.

any time you hang out with someone for a long period of time little things about the other will start to bug you. as long as it's minor and manageable it's all good.
When she sneezes she sounds like a damn elephant trumpeting. I swear. . .scares the bejeezus out of me every time. No warning or anything. . .just WAAAAAACHHOOOOO!!!!
I told her if she stops doing that I will stop farting in bed and pulling the covers over her head.

Pfft. If all we had to deal with was a woman whose worst quality was "cleans too much", I think we'd be just fine, too.

The gf is pretty good. Doesn't do too many things to annoy. Here's my short list:
1. Has one particular phrase she sais that is grammatically in correct that makes her sound kind of ignorant. No matter how many times I correct her though, she still does it. When she is done with work for the day she'll say "I'm all done work." I'm like noooo "You're all done WITH work." She still can't get that one right, lol. That's not bad though.
2. She has call waiting on her home phone. Lives with her parents and her mom uses the phone a lot to call friends and they call there a lot. If I'm talking to her on the phone and she gets a call waiting beep she'll go to answer it, ok fine, but instead of telling the person that her mom will call back she'll give the phone to her mom who proceeds to talk for 15 minutes not realizing I'm still on the line! So if I'm sitting there on my cell phone I'm eating up minutes because they got a call waiting and it's not even anything important. That one used to really steam me. I started just hanging up after 5 minutes and then she'd call back and be all like why'd you hang up? She got her own cell phone a couple years ago and now I only call that, so the problem is solved.
3. There's also the whole I need/want attention factor. I'm sure every guy with a girlfriend experiences this at some point. There will be times when all of a sudden she just has to have my undivided attention. We could have spent the whole day together and now we're just home relaxing watching some tv and all of a sudden she's up in the grill wanting hugs, kisses whatever and will not be satisfied till the tv is turned off and I'm paying attention to her. Usually at that point she will enjoy the attention for about 10 minutes then snag the remote and start ignoring me.
4. The last thing that drives me nuts is her choice in television. Some things she watches I can watch with her. Gilmore Girls, different movies that are always on tv that she likes(Dirty Dancing, The Breakfast Club, etc.). 9 times out of 10 though if she's gonna turn something on it'll be the E channel and god what I mindless piece of crap E is. The only time I might be able to sit and watch E is when they do their E true Hollywood stories on someone interesting like John Delorean or James Dean. Most of the time it's crapola though. Like my Super,Overpriced, My Parents Went Broke To Pay For It and Got NSync to Come Sweet Sixteen Party. Or Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. Good gawd! Easy enough for me to leave and find something else to do though, so I do.
Thats about it and I love her to death so the foibles don't bother me.
Oh yeah, and she locks the doors in the car whenever we go somewhere. And does it stealthy like so I don't even notice. Than I go to get out of the car and the door is locked. Seems minor but it drives me nuts if we just drove around the block for a two minute ride and I stop at the gas station. She's afraid that the door is going to fly open or something.

About the worst I can report is that my wife leaves water glasses all over the house ... and is an extremely messy cook. I hate doing dishes after she cooks.
She walks slower than a duck.
She talks to me when I specifically tell her that I'm concentrating on something.
She gets mad at me when I tell her that I'm concentrating on something.
She doesn't understand "Save As" and saves right over "unnamed document (0).txt" in the system temp directories and tells me she can't find the file she was working on the other night.
Leaves a mess in the kitchen after cooking.
Uses concentrated detergents to mop the floor..but doesn't rinse it with water..hence hardening the detergent and gives me more work after the fact. (and leaving discolorations in the hardwood floor)
Flushed my toothbrush down the toilet and doesn't tell me about it until after the pharmacy is closed.
Eats a lot. Makes me eat a lot.
Cute as a piglet but pissed all the time.
Not very sexual. In fact, asexual.
Loves buying lots of useless stuff making keeping "things in order," unmanageable.

My wife does something very similar. She'll call me from work and 10 seconds into the conversation, someone will walk up to her and just start talking, with no regard for the fact that she's on the phone. Of course, she'll reciprocate and next thing I know, I'm sitting there like a damn fool. Most of the time I don't even realize it's happened. I'll be talking and realize that she's yammering with someone else. That really pisses me off. At the very LEAST, you could tell me to hold on for a second. What would be even better, though, is to tell the asshole/bitch who just barged in that you'll get back to him/her when you're off the phone. If someone sees me talking on the phone at work, they just make sure I saw them and realized they wanted something, and then they fvck off like a polite person would.
She does this with Messenger, too. She'll send me a PM "hey whats up". I'll write back, possibly ask her how she's doing, etc, but then I won't get a reply.
Me: "Hello?"
Me: ...
Me: "Still there?"
...
...
...
Her: "I'm busy I'll talk later"
WTF cvnt you started this conversation!!!!
Don't fscking call/PM me if you can't bloody talk!!!!!!!!!!!!
