Infuriating Things Your Partner Does


Recommended Posts

This is probably more "Things I do to infuriate my partner" but the fact I can pack for a 2 week holiday in about 5 minutes bugs the piss out of my wife.

She had a huge array of, "stuff I might need", laid out on her dressing table well before I had even thought about printing the boarding passes.

She is by and large great, but sometimes she is batshit crazy.

"Are you not going to take a nice shirt in case we go out?" - No

"What about a pair of trousers?" - It's going to be 30 degrees the entire time we're there, so no.

"What about shower gel and shaving foam?" - I'm sure they'll sell it there

etc, etc

Karma. I broke up with a girl on Christmas Day once (though it took until Boxing Day for it to sink in to her head I was serious). Cost me a small fortune from Majestic Wine in Dutch courage beforehand to get the job done. 

She better have been an utter c**t, otherwise you're a horrible, heartless  b*****d.

They seem to forget that there are shops abroad. You don't need to cover every possible eventuality like you're trekking to the South Pole.

I'm past trying to tell her this after over 20 years. Especially when we are going for short breaks in places like Germany and Holland. Not exactly the far east and a new culture?

So many break-ups happen at Christmas. People who don't really like each other forced to spend time with each other. Add in huge amounts of booze and it can be a rough time.

Drown him in a big vat of melted Lurpak Slighty Salted, Live on Al-Jazeera.

We’d have died of old age before that block of butter melted. Drowning in melted butter though, doesn’t sound a bad way to go tbh

If that makes you feel better about the whole scenario fair enough but I think it’s clear who the bad guy is here

It's not scare tactics it's human biology. The sleep deprivation now is preparing you for when it actually arrives. 


Both myself and my girlfriend were angel children who slept solidly at night without waking our parents up.

Your parents have simply erased the horrors from their memories. I was so awful the child psychologist asked my folks “how do you put up with him?”, such was my terrible behaviour and refusal to sleep. Turned out okay though once I got to about 7.

last night's walking dead "mid season finale" had four plots coming together over several locations with added flashbacks.

the questions started pretty early and innocuously enough but i was soon about two minutes behind and struggling to hear enough to keep up myself.

"who's that?", "why are they doing that?", "where did they come from?"

she wasn't even trying to think. at one point she asked "which king?". There's only one, i explained tactfully and patiently. cue her stomping out and going to bed. result.

A real bugbear of mine. She seems patently unable to follow anything but the most simple and conventional storyline. To the point that she's unwilling to watch anything with me that isn't totally formulaic. Also won't watch any "gangster films", and this could be literally any crime thriller / drama.

Sounds like you need to alter her perception in advance. Eg. LA Confidential - a love triangle tale with hunky young Russell Crowe and Colin Farrell. Snatch - Brad Pitt in a gentle tale of a man who love dogs, caravans and his mum. The two box sets of Gomorra - an Italian family drama.
