Annoying your partner *Official Thread*

I think your girlfriend’s sister needs to create a DiS account so the mods can transfer the likes to her.

I’m a socialist so I will give her half the likes minus an inheritance tax of 25 likes

She’s doing some outreach thing today, so I went with a “oh right, like the email program” line of irking.

It’s working.

This. Irks her tremendously for some reason.

Sometimes I’ll make a massive deal of it, start by pretending to open it right way up, then “Oh, but wait, what’s this. Oh, oh, oh no, he wouldn’t, would he? Oh he would, it’s turning round, yes, and it’s upside down now, and… HE’S OPENED IT!”. I quite annoy myself doing this, but that’s the price you pay.

Also, leaving the windscreen wipers half way up the windscreen. Sometimes if I’ve forgotten, I’ll turn the engine back on to get them back up the screen.

This reminds me of one of the top 5 things I do that properly annoy my bf UNINTENTIONALLY!

I yank the hand break right up when I park the car. It’s habit but bloody hell he gets so annoyed by it that I have ignored his requests to amend my actions.

Finger in the mouth when yawning if she doesn’t put her hand over it

Cover your mouth?

That’s a sackable offence. If the TV posted here, she would say “stealing his yawns”. Cruel move.

I like to see when he’s about to yawn then go “don’t yawn, don’t do it!” and he then physically can’t yawn.

He calls me a fucking psycho for doing this.

It would make me absolutely livid if done to me, which is why it’s funny. Will also shout ‘WAIT!’ if it looks like a sneeze

(I also always cover my mouth, so…)

Somehow covering my mouth makes the yawn less pleasurable.

She’s started complaining to the baby about its behaviour - “We won’t have anymore porridge if you’re going to keep crying…”

I try to reply with something like, “…but I like porridge.” in the manner of Buster Bluth.

She really hates it.

We were eating soup one day a few years ago and he was being his patronizing self trying to teach me how to eat soup. He said I must take the soup from the edges of the bowl because the bowl cooled the soup down.

I obviously jumped on this and said “no, the bowl keeps the soup hotter for longer so the hottest part of the soup is the bits by the bowl”.

This made him very angry. I now do this every time we have soup and he still gets very angry.

He did a number on me this weekend. I was going to use his car and he asked me “do you know how to put petrol in a car?”

:angry:

I’ve been driving for 10 years.

Watching Blue Planet, any time some grotesque fish or crustacean comes on screen - "I didn’t know you were in this program!’

To muddy the waters a bit, I put on the first episode of Tales of the Serengeti the other day, which he’d never seen before. Now he thinks that I got “Clive” from the name of one of the monkeys. Though he’s not entirely sure. Confusion is now returned to his brain!

I’ve been done with this myself.

“Ohhhhhh, that camel looks like you.”

There is an injoke we have about me being unable to recognise actors from various TV shows in things. It started out sincerely, with me fucking it up by accident. Now I’ll pick any random actor or actress that slightly (okay, actually doesn’t look anything) like the person and bring it up, and then fight it out.

If I’m the quickest, I’ll go “onto IMDB” and start reeling off other movies they’ve been in - obviously, the person I’m thinking that it is not the real person.

Do this with TV shows the best. Had a classic; in Suits the guy Conleth Hill (who plays Varys) was in it. I say “oh man, I didn’t know he was in this! He was great in Downton Abbey” and it lead to “yeah, look, he’s in Paddington, and they’re making a Paddington 2 now!” etc etc
