Damn... I have it good.

I can't really think of anything that bugs me on a regular basis about my wife.

On the other hand, I can think of things about me that probably bug her a little.

Fortunately, I'm dead sexy... that makes up for a lot. But then again, so is my wife.

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.

Not sure if this is applicable, but could her car have auto-locking doors? I know mine does whenever I go above 15mph. Although you can open the doors even if they're locked (from the inside that is, it just unlocks the door).

As I am happily (I think :p) not with someone at the moment, I have had my fair share of annoyances in the past.

* Women wanting to hold hands inappropriately. I understand that they like it and that's cool with me, but I'm a fairly logical person when it comes to some things and female logic just fails when it comes to holding hands. Not only will they insist upon it until they reach a destination or the two part ways, it doesn't matter what they go through! Going up stairs... gotta hold hands... weaving through tables in a cafeteria (noticed this at college...)... gotta hold hands! Just let go!

* Stealing the pants. Now, this isn't a literal thing, but figurative. Women who attempt to take a domineering role in a relationship. It's irritating to put up with someone constantly telling you what you'll do instead of asking if you're interested in doing something. Might as well just have her command that you'll buy a leash.

If I weren't so out of it, I could probably come up with more annoyances.

I had a chick pull this on me before I even met her. Mutual friends hooked us up and we started chatting (this was back in '97/'98). She got extremely pushy to the point of downright domination. It peaked when we tried to set up an actual date. It went something like this:

Her: "We'll go out at 7pm for dinner. I like to be picked up on time, so please don't make me wait."
Me: "Ermmm... okay.
Her: "We're going to Blahblah Steakhouse, and you're buying."
Me: "I think this is where I get off. Take care."

The pictures I got of her were nice. She was good looking, but not hot enough to justify acting like an ice queen.

Oh ya and she picks up and cuddles and kisses her little dog. Meanwhile the dog is filthy because it just rolled around in it's own sh1t outside. Also lets her dog be everywhere on the furniture and places like the kitchen table. God I hate that dog, I can't wait till it goes into the next life.

That sounds kind of like what happened to me, except mine may've been just a bit becoming a mountain over a period of time. It was really annoying when it came to her wanting me to call. I didn't mind talking at first, but once these conversations got to be around 5+ hours long and making me stay up late.. I got quite a bit tired of it. If I said I was going to go so I could actually sleep, all I got was, "Ohhh just another minute!" or I was completely ignored. In pure hindsight I should've just hung up and let her talk to herself for a good minute or so until she realized that I left :p.

Oh and I got pictures too... except mine were old and time definitely did not favor her kindly :p.

My last few gfs had always had some damn problem about my music.
Either:
1. I listen to Heavy Metal (Metallica, Pantera, Into Eternity, Disturbed) Hell, one girl broke up with me because I wouldn't give up my Metal.
2. I listen to music too much. Music is a nice chunk of my life and she doesn't seem to get that. It's stupid. I know when to take the earbuds out.
Ex: after school, I walked to her house, listening to music. I think it was Iron Maiden at the time. Anyway, as soon as she opens the door, I take the earbuds out, and turn off the MP3 player, and she spends 10+ minutes talking about how I listen to music too often. That one really pisses me off.
3. The girl talks to me while I'm listening to music.
Ex: I'm in art class and I'll listen to something, and she'll be talking to me. I can't hear her since I have some damn good buds. A few minutes later, she punches/ slaps me and yells at me saying: "You love your music more than me!" or "You care more about your 'metal' more than you care about me!" Right in the middle of class. Dammit, if you want to talk to me just give me a tap on the shoulder like everyone else.

My last one I think I kind of provoke.
4. She has a problem with me being atheist. She'll spend countless hours preaching to me. One time I was trying to read The Origin of Species. She takes the book and rips pages out of it. And guess what? She shoves a Bible in my face. And after I told her that it's that kind of behavior that makes me lose respect for Christians, "It's over!" and she storms off.

This one girl I have my eye on however, might be a good one. She listens to Heavy Metal, she doesn't believe in God, and she's a nerd! You know, one of those hot nerds that no one takes seriously. Whenever I talk about her, I refer to her as "The Unicorn" :D

^^ Jeez, a girl preaching to me would make me not friends with her. I have religious friends but they're fine with their beliefs and I'm fine with them not trying to convert me. That'd really be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me.

Damnit women, Iron Maiden was here before you, live with it!

I don't think it's possible to have an SO that doesn't do *something* that bugs you. Even if you managed to marry your exact clone, you'd find something irritating about him/her. If you had the perfect SO in every way, that absolute perfection would get on your nerves once in awhile.

SHE GETS COLD EASILY!!!

This girl is ridiculous, she gets cold so easily and is almost cold all the time. During winter time she DOES NOT GO OUTSIDE AT ALL. I cannot enjoy doing almost anything with her during this season. A walk from her house to my car parked in her driveway will freeze her bones. She starts shivering and rattling, it's just stupid, I tell her to stop because by shivering you are wasting more energy and are actually getting colder and colder but she doesnt listen. She rattles it's almost like watching a 4 year old over exagerate I have no idea people can get cold this fast. Her whole world is focused on getting inside that fvcking car, and the moment she does, she cranks my heat to 31 C and puts the heated seat on HIGH, telling me to start driving so the engine heats up, wtf.

THIS GOES FOR ALL GIRLS!

WHEN ENTERING A VEHICAL, WAIT FOR THE FVCKING DOOR TO OPEN BEFORE PULLING THE HANDLE.

My mom and gf both do this. I put the key in or use keyless, and before I can unlock all the doors they are already pulling the handle expecting the sh1t to be open. I owned my mom and my gf both, by trying to unlock the doors, theirs dident because they held the handles, so I got in and started driving off, lawl peons.


Lesson?

Don't hold the handle, or Ill beat you down.

Every single time we get in the car he puts his hand on my leg or wants to hold hands (I always drive). Every once in a while it's cool, but it gets annoying. Sometimes I just don't want to be touched. I told him this and he says he likes holding my hand, and I felt bad.

My gf does the same thing, grabs my hand or wants me to hold her thigh. I don't mind it but sometimes it does get annoying. I also remind her that if I gotta react fast for her to let go.

I am not the affectionate type, and sometimes I just don't want to be touched. Just being around him makes me happy enough. I don't need to have physical contact 24-7...lol.

Love at first post :heart:!

EDIT: I have to say that a lot of people do that door handle thing though. That's why I always unlock it before they get there with the keyless entry.

Man, it's hard to even think of the bad things about her. I guess when she's done sleeping over, she leaves my room a mess, but I do the same as well to be fair. It's hard to think of what else, so I guess I may have it good. Until we live together, I think the list will stay this small.
