This is a question Annoying Partners

As a recent divorcee, it would be churlish to reveal what annoys me the most about my ex, apart from that unfortunate business with the crinkle-cut beetroot which tipped us over the edge. So, what winds you up about your significant other? If you have no partner, tell us about workmates. If you have no workmates, improvise with an annoying tramp

Using ironic in the wrong context.
Every time she had one of her mental blow outs whatever it was I'd done, any explanation I offered was ironic and apparently wrong. This also happened during arguments. The break up argument was about music oddly enough.

"Oh I love that Alanis Morissette song Bitch"
"That wasn't her it was Meredith Brooks"
"You always have to argue with me"
"But it was her look it up!"
"Oh that's ironic"
"That was Alanis Morissette, Bitch was Meredith Brooks"

Didn't go down well to be honest!

And to be fair, Alanis Morissette doesn't know what "ironic" means either

That's where the irony is.
And she meant it that way.
