10 Ways To Kill Your Husband In His Sleep

O.k., not really, but he is bugging me today! I am envisioning taking the Bible sitting beside me and throwing it and hitting him in the back of the head as he sits at the other computer. Is that Christian? No Proverbs 31 awards for me!
There are those moments in any marriage where the things that we thought were cute and funny at one point become annoyances. The catch is remembering why we once thought they were cute.
With that being said, I decided to list the ten most annoying habits of husbands. I am sure I am going to get a great response from the men. Feel free to write the ten most annoying habits of wives in response.
Lack of hygiene
How can guys go more then one day without bathing or showering? Nasty. What is worse is that they are training the younger generations to do the same. My son argued with me for ten minutes this morning on the fact he thought he didn't need a shower because he showered yesterday. Men!
Farts are cool
Seriously, do I need to explain this annoyance?
Burping is cool
My son is now counting his burps in a day! Thanks honey for the great example you set!
Two steps
All I am asking for is two extra steps. It drives me insane that dirty dishes end up on the counter instead of walking two more steps and putting them in the sink.
Three steps
Trash on the counter instead of walking three steps and putting it in the trashcan is annoying. Seriously?
Zoning Out
How annoying is it to be talking and realize ten minutes later that he has not heard a word you said because he was working on the computer or watching t.v.
Humming
Seriously, sing the words all ready! If you don't know the words, no need to hum! This is for me right now! Yes, I really do need to investigate the office space again!
Blue with Black
Blue shirts do not match black pants!
Pointing out mistakes
Why is it that I can ask a million times before I leave for the store if there is anything else I need to get only to make it home and have him point out something else we need! Or how many times when we are cleaning, do we hear, "You missed a spot!" It was only funny the first time if at all.
Never wanting to lose
This is an ok trait to have in our world, but at times it is annoying! Guess what-men do lose and sometimes it is to their own wife!! There are also others who are better then us. Most importantly, little league baseball is just a game and we are going to lose sometimes!
This is all meant in jest. I love my husband and am super proud of him!
However, ladies, I am sure you have some annoying traits to share so be sure to comment! After all, I am sure the men's article will be out soon!

Top-level comments on this article: (8 total)Hi Laura.Well, I have a few of the same in my list. But I don't really count any of them to be significant ... well maybe the Zoning Out thing. Bernd and I have been married for almost 34 years and a number of things have made it onto that list and fallen off again. I'm not sure that any of them were ever cute, though. :)I enjoyed your article and it was fun to read! Thanks.Dianne
Larua,You got me with the first six, somewhat. The kids are more prone to do the dishes and garbage thing. However, number 1 and 2 on your list are not allowed or out of the bedroom I go or into the shower if its bedtime.Yes, men are certainly different. We were watching Namesake, a beautiful movie about living in America and maintaining roots to your homeland (in this case it was India), and the mother is watching her husband take their six-year-old out on a jetty. She yells, "Be careful! Don't take him out too far." The mother always mothering and worrying for safety, the father always pushing the child for growth and experience. A good balance, I think.Yes, we find each other annoying, the annoyence coming mostly in my direction ;=) But my wife tells me time and again that "You have a beautiful personality," "You are so honorable," "You are such a good dad and husband," that I know I must be doing more right than wrong.Thanks for the great article. And next time the fam goes to Disney, we'll give you guys a call ;=)
Laura, I just don't know how to respond -- I am a little hurt that this was supposed to be about how husbands annoyed wives, but instead 4 - 10 pointed out how Art is annoyed with me. How could you!!!!!hee, hee - great rant. Do you feel better now :-)
I can add more....
Funny and true Laura.I have to confess that I was so annoyed with my husband last night for not hearing me that I cancelled our Monday night Bible study for the night. I couldn't hear him myself so I decided we would be quiet instead of get annoyed with each other.I too have annoyed him with all the lack of things I couldn't do when I broke the eight bones this winter. Oh well, we are getting throught it all and back on track.No matter what we still love each other and that is a choice.God bless you always
