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

Doors
I have no idea why women cannot stand having doors shut. When I was married, my (then)wife had no idea that the funny metal bits fitted to said doors were actually for keeping the damn things closed! In my last house she wouldn't shut the kitchen door, even when the washing machine was on, rendering all attempts at reading, watching TV, listening to music etc completely pointless as the whining and chugging from the machine made it fucking impossible. Likewise with the bedroom door. Couldn't bear to have it shut BUT wouldn't have it completely open or wedged open even a little, nooooo, she had to have it open 'just a little' so even the slightest breeze would cause it to knock against the frame, thereby keeping me awake.
I put really strong door closers on all the doors so she couldn't keep them open.
Drove her (further) insane*. Since my divorce I do miss that woman. However, the new rifle and telescopic sights should cure that.

I now live in a house where all the doors are shut when I goddam think they should be. My G/F wants them open. It ain't happening. My place, my doors.



*I firmly believe that ALL women are insane, just the level of insanity differs - slightly.

Shower curtain
MUST be drawn back, even when soaking wet. There could be someone hiding behind it don't you know?

Truly insane
How is it supposed to dry properly? I bet she moans about it being covered in mildew every few months too.

THAT'S what's wrong with your relationship.

there's nothing wrong with my relationship with my ex-wife!
Because she's my EX-wife.

I wonder how many of these 'all my exes are mental' types have worked out what the common denominator in their bad relationships is?

Placid
except when THERE IS A DOOR OPEN!!!1!1!¬

jeeesus

I have cats so I never shut a door because as every cat owner knows if there is a door shut your cat goes...

*scratch**scratch**scratch**scratch*"meow"

repeat till you open the door. Cat goes through. Close door

*scratch**scratch**scratch**scratch*"meow"

Funnily enough.
With my 30 odd years looking after cats (roughly 6 cats) I've never had a cat scratch at a door. Dunno if it's luck or not. They'll sit and meow at a door, or meow at me to follow them to a door. However not one has scratched or even attempt to scratch a door.

Not *all* women
do that with doors. I go around shutting them in winter cos it keeps the heat in and the bills down.

You're right about the insanity thing though. The more sane of us realise we're insane and get an "insanity partner" (another woman who realises she's insane) to let "the crazy" out at each other every so often so our partners don't have to deal with it. Well, not so much, anyway!
